I'LL Stuffed Up

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh. treatment must be
constitutional-alte and tonic.
Il was afflicted with catarrh. i took
medicines Of different kinds. giving each
fair trial; but gradually grew worse until
could hardly hear, taste or smell. then
concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. and
after taking five bottles I was cured and

A READING MAN
COMING TODAY

A telegram from Division Superip-
tendent Turk, of the Philadelphia q
Reading railroad, was received yester-
day by City Clerk Patton in relation
to the matter of crossing the railroad
with the wires of the municipal light
system and the prompt respon e of the
railroad people to the communication
sent them Saturday by the City Clerk
shows that they are inclined to be
very fair aud friendly and have no de
sire to hold back the borough work.
The telegram stated that Mr.. Alb
bott, a representative of the company
will arrive in this city at II 20 o'clock
this morning. The city clerk is re
qu sted to meet him and show him
over the ground. This will be done
and after getting the locations of the
crossing points the railroad company
probably will act favorably on them
very soon, since the wires are TO 90 at
height that will not int rfere in any
way with railroad operations. The
wires will cross the Reading tracks at
five plac, 5, Mill, Little Ash, Center,
Bloom and Gross streets.
The Delaware, Lack awanna 81 West
ern company had not been heard from
yet yesterday afternoon, but will very
likely make favorable reply in a
short time The d. l.. & W. tracks
are to be crossed only at three points,
Mill aud Wall streets aud Beaver
avenue.

TRAVELLING SALESMAN

Peter Salem, who represents the

called on the local shoe trade yester-
day. Mr.. Salem is a commercial man
whose visits are always welcomed by

Church street at the canal has been.
The plan is certainly the right thing
to do. for now there is a rather steep

It was necessary in the cases Of

romance that has developed began
when their great-great- t-grandfather
came tc America as French voyag-
