There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
lncurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ase and prescribed local remedies. and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
tratment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man

statement, but on her own account

"You reporters could find out all
about the major by stepping across
the street to the federal building and
inquiring of the war Office.
In the federal building it was said
that he was on a leave of absence and
the department did not know where
the major could be found.
You can be sure the major was
in Chicago" said a Chicago congress
man, who knows the army officer,
when he was given description OF
the man who handed out Mr.. Taft
views on labor and injunctions.
Years ago the major was an Off
Ger of the order of railway conduc-
tors. Then he made a hit with Mark
Hanna and mixed up in politics. He
was a major in the Spanish-Amerlcan
war as a volunteer, was mustered out
and Joined the regular army in 1901
as captain. A few months later
he was promoted to major. He was
hnzzing around Washington some
time back, and it was announced one
morning that he had been sent to
