To Rerate City.

In accordance with the recent ruling of the Southeastern Tariff Association, rerating Birmingham as a second-class insurance city, two representatives of the association, Joseph Raines and George Mill, arrived in the city this morning ready to undertake the work of reclassing risks. This morning, however, John G. Smith, president of the board of underwriters of Birming- ham, accompanied by W. N. Malone a member of the board, called on Mayor Drennen, and asked that he address to the board an official petition that the rates be not increased. Should he do this the board will take the matter in hand and forward the communication to the headquarters of the Southeast ern Tariff Association in Atlanta. It is thought the association may then sug- gest certain Improvements in regard to the fire department. which. if fol- lowed, may be the means of the re- calling of the order to rerate the city. This seems to be the whole situation. It Is believed that nothing will be done by the association until the city has had time to act in the matter.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured 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 a teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
