Regardless of the inclemency of the

clouds passed by, and Old Sol appeared
in all his splendor to glorify the cause

deeds of the few survivors participating
in our solemn exercises and to honor
the occasion. The town had been beau

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Reader, Meadville. Mo.-Income Is no
factor in a claim for widows pension
under the general law.
/. HI. D., Brockton, Mass.-Desertion
from prior service is no bar to PEN
sion under the general law.
H. G. P, Denver, Colo.-The Pension
bureau objects to accepting evidence
from near relatives, provided 1t is pos
sible to establish the point in question
by other testimony.
w. c. F., Wellsville, Ohio.-The
"age" order has no reference to
widows, whose rate of pension is fixed
by law. The order mentioned refers to
the soldier and is an Interpretation Of
the act OF June q. 1890, age being
considered one of the disabilities un-
der that act.
Subscriber. Salem, Mass.-1) Length
of service is not a factor in a claim for
pension under the general law, for
either the soldier or his widow. (2)
An honorable discharge from the last
essential in proving a claim for pension
under the act of June 81, 1890.
Attorney, Lincoln, Neb-A declara-
the claimants attorney will be accept
ed as valid by the Pension Bureau, but
the attorney forfeits his rights in the
case. This also applies to evidence ex-
ecuted before the attorney of record.
A. P. S., Reno, Nev.-Joint aff1davits
are not looked upon with favor by the
Bureau of Pensions. 1t is not enough
for the witness merely to confirm the
statements Of others. The facts known
to the affiant should be clearly stated,
and how such knowledge was obtained.

How to Get Rid
Of Catarrh,
Here is Simple, Quick, Effective way
and COSTS NOTHING Send
for il and see.

Those who suffer with it know we.!
the miSerieS of catarrh. There is just
one thing to do--have it cured. 1t can De
done. To prove it TO you. send your ad-
dress and the means OF a quick and safe
cure will be sent to your home free in
every way. The idea in giving it to
YOU free is to prove to you that there
is n home cure for catarrh, scratchy
throat. asthma. stopped-up feeling in
the nose and throat. catarrhal head
aches. constant splitting, catarrhal deaf
ness. etc. etc. and that the remedy that
does it is the invention of DIR. j. w.
pioSSer. the eminent southern doctor
and minister. who has for over 81 years
been identified with the cure of catarrh
in all its worst forms.
His discovery is unlike anything you
ever had before, as it is not spray,
douche, ointment, atomizer, sa}ve,
cream, or any such thing, but genuine
tried-and-true cure that clears out the
head, nose, throat and lungs so that
you can again breathe the free air and
sleep without that choky, splitting feel
ing that all catarrh sufferers have. 1t
will save the wear-and-tear of internal
medicines that only ruin the stomach.
1t will prevent colds and heal up the
mucous membranes SO that you will
not be constantly blowing your nose
and splitting.
If you have never tried DIR. Blosser's
discovery and know that you need such
cure, and want to make a trial Of it
without cost, send your address to DIR.
j. w. Blosscr, 800 Walton Street, At
lanta, Ga. and a thorough free trial
treatment and also an deliberately illus
trated booklet, plain Facts About Ca
tarrh,' will be sent you at once. free,
SO that you can begin to cure yourself
privately at home.
