The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building mp the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Winter Food and Living Strain Di-

The hearty food and overeating, so
common in winter, strain the stomach
and digestive organs so that by this
time the average person is out OF
health. 1t may be simple headache,
possibly sleeplessness, or "A general
tired, weak feeling, but the chances
are that the stomach Is weak and
cannot properly take care OF the
food, and as a result there is heart
burn, indigestion, lack OF energy and
a general tagged out state.
The stomach needs health and
strength. The various aches aud
pains that you have are the stomach's
cry for help and its warning that it
! has been overworked.
Give it strength by taking a Mi-o-

Do You Want TO Breed a Horse |?

A celebrated Michigan trainer says In
"The Horse World" "We must have size,
conformation, beauty, action and disp0si-
tiOn for the market horse, farm horse,
coach, cob, saddle, hunter, park roadster,
trOtter, PAGER and the runner. There Is
an American product that fills the bill in
every way and has repeatedly demon
strated his superiority over all c0mers OF
the different classes at the national horse
shows and other class contests, so that
there is no room for argument on this
score. The American trOtting horse has
done all this and more; he has made him
self the wonder Of the nineteeth century"
George Wilkes as a sire Of trOtting and
pacing horses was without peer, as shown
BY the immense number Of his descendants

1904. The worlds record for the fastest

two heat pacing race by a stallion was by
