There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incnrable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitution al disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by f. j Cheney & Co, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful

 If the lady On Blank street who was recently kicking about high prices in Phoenix 7vill stop trading at the credit stores and buy at DavidsOns' Cash stores she will notice quite saving in the cost of her kitchen things. It pays to pay cash these days.
 A big fat woman stepped into Day. idson's Cash Store the other day and asked for a bottle of Blue Seal Vase line Laying down a dime she started out. Don't forget your change" cried the clerk "TRey ain't any change, said the old lady, "it's ten cents isn't it?" -''We sell ft at Ave cents a bottle, replied the clerk. What's the matter with it?" sa3d the woman, eyeing 1t critically. Nothing" replied the clerk, five cents Is our price" well I've always paid ten cents. ! never do buy anything hete bNe save money.

Well, want two tents and 9 whole camping outfit, a steve and some cots. Here's the list want prices on. I've been around town for prices but some one told me to come to DaV- ldson's cash Store and I'd save money" Later: Customer-"WeH, get the goods out on the walk, I'll be around to load them this afternoon some time" All right. sir said the clerk, at the same time signing up the sale. eve will have your goods ready for you" And thus another sale was made in com petition with the credit stores fer cash.
 It is a noticeable fact that the care full. shrewd buyers are supplying their needs at the cash stores more and more each year. The expense and losses attending the credit system rem d7r it imperative for the credit mer- chant to make those who are good pay bear the losses resulting from thos2 who never pay and it always rankles in the breast of a nan who meets his bills to be taxed to keep up the dead beat and the delinquent.

BURkAH'S OLD SHRINES.
Caves Beneath a Fortress and a Temple
on a Balancing Rock.


on a Balancing Rock.
Burmah doubtless has the oldest
place of worship to be found any
where In the world. says a writer in
The Housekeeper. Some miles out Of
Maulmein, In the middle Of great
plain, stands a lone rock so peculiar
in form as never to be forgotten when
once seen. Ages ago the caves which
hOneycomb this fortress were trans
formed from the habitats of bats and
wild animals into places for devotiOns.
Thousands of images of Buddha are
carved upon the walls and in every
chamber bronze, stone or wooden gods
are standing, sitting or reclining in
endless silence. No one can compute
how many millions Of feet have press
ed the earthen floors of these sacred
caverns. Almost as remarkable Is a
Burmese shrine built by rich man as
an Offering to his favorite god. This
was erected on the very apex of a
balancing rock so formidable In ap-
pearance as to strike terror to the
heart before one can carry out the
resolution to make the difficult ascent
The material was transported to the
rock on the backs Of men and pulled
to the top with hand power by means
of rope. To reach the top requires
stout limbs and steady nerves. Tiny
steps have been cut in an almost per-
pendicular wall and slip means fall
to certain injury and perhaps death.
The difficulties of erecting n place
of worship have given no end Of ankle
ty to the well-intentioned who have
the interests of community at heart.
Sometimes it is as difficult to obtain
the material as it is to raise money
with which to pay for it. In North
Queensland the problem is: What will
withstand the ravages of the white
ant pest? Every kind of wood has
been tried in vain. Again and again
have the little white ants destroyed
fine churches. raZing them to the
ground. AS q last resort the good peO-
pie decided to use corrugated iron.
| This material has proved satisfactory
so far as resisting the attacks OF the
| insects Is concerned, but IL has one
decided disadvantage in that land
where old Sol pours his burning rays
down so pitilessly. The iron draws
the heat and on hot summers day
the temperature inside Of one of these
veritable furnaces will often rise as
high as 12O degrees. reminding the
congregation most forcibly of certain
orthodox theories regarding the here
after Of the wicked.

arrangements so complete in this city for an
extensive holiday trade. New stores have been
built additions have been made to those for
merly constructed, and the most liberal attrac-
tons have been devised to meet the wishes Of
BUYERS. It is altogether probable that never in

for holiday purchases.
