How to Get Rid
of CataFrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and it
Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There Is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid OF it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser, who,
for over thirty-four years, has been
treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment Is unlike any other
1t is not spray, douche, salve, cream
Or inhaler, but Is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of them
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped
UP feeling that all catarrh sufferers
have. 1t heals the diseased membranes
and makes radical cure, SO that you
will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
1t does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach. as internal medicines do
Ii you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DIR.
J. w. Blosser, $40 Walton Street, At
lanta. Ga, and he will send you by re-
turn mail enough of the medicine to
satisfy you that 1t Is all he claims for II
as remedy for eatarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma, bron-
chitis, colds and all catarrhal compli-
cations. He will also send you free an
illustrated booklet. Write him imme-
diately.

NeiII Reappointed.


Charles P. Neill, Commissioner of La
Dor, will be reappointed to his present
position by President Roosevelt, Dr.
Neill was made Commissioner of Labor
by President Roosevelt in succession to
Prof. Carroll d. Wright, who accepted
the position of President of Clark Uni
versity, at Worchester, Mass. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Strauss enter
tain so high regard for DR.. Neill that
no other man was even considered for
the position
AS Commissioner of Labor DR.. Neill
has conducted successfully not only his
own Bureau, but many important in
vestigations which President Roosevelt
himself initiated. He has a grasp OF
the labor problems of the United States
such as probably no other man now
possesses, and in deciding to reappoint
him the President is understood to feel
that it would be exceedingly diRcult to
replace him.
The National tribune., 1908-12-10

Approval has been given by Postmas-
ter-General Meyer to the new special
delivery stamp, which will be placed
on sale within the next 10 days. 1t is
radical departure from the conven-
tional United States stamp, being pat
termed rather after stamps Of French
time severely plain and delicately exc
cuted. 1t measures about one inch
square, and is of dark green color.
Running dfagona11y across its face
is an illustration of an olive branch,
the leaves of which entwine a Mercury
hat, symbolic of peace and haste. In
the upper left-hand corner is the in
scription "10c.," while in the lower
right-hand corner, in gold letters, are
the words. ''U. S. Postage, Special De-
livery"
Preparations for the removal of the
body of Maj. L'Enfant, who planned
the streets and avenues of Washington,
from the Diggs farm in Maryland,
where it was inferred more than a
century ago, to Arlington, are being
made by the Commissioners. At the
last session of Congress the Commits
slonefs were authorized to transfer the
body, and erect a suitable memorial,
an appropriation of $1,000 being made.
Maj. LEnfant was a Catholic, and
when the body is removed to Arling-
ton the grave will be consecrated, as
in the case of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan.
1t is entirely fitting that the man who
planned the City Beautiful, as WASH
ington may well be called, should rest
in Arlington.

ed to this is s57, 100000 for unc compen-
sated service in the handling and trans
porting of second-class matter of pub
fishers of newspapers and periodicals.
In view of complaints from CONNER
cial envelope manufacturers, printers
and photographers against the printing
by the Department of envelopes bear
ing business cards, the Third Assistant
suggests legislation which will permit
the embossing of postage stamps upon
envelope blanks furnished by the print
er or consumer.
1t is stated that abuses of the second
class mailing privilege cannot be re-
duced to the minimum until the prac-
tice Of offering premiums and other
extraneous inducements for subscrip-
tions is stopped The sale of bulk
subscriptions to business institutions
and individuals is regarded as another
abuse.
The report denies that the money
order system is conducted at a loss.

driver of the machine swerved just
enough so that the mud guard swiped
the President gently. He turned to see
who was SO familiar with him, and the
auto driver nearly fell out of the car
when he recognized the President.
"a close shave" said the President,
with smile.
The auto man was dazed, and said
exactly what he shouldn't have said to
the President; he lifted his hat and
said, 'It certainly was, but please do
not hurt the mud guard" and he went
on and SO did the President. The Presi-
dent was laughing, and the two Secret
Service men who were with him were
white. Those same Secret Service men
do have a time of it. They can save
the President from mobs and from
cranks, even from gunshot, If need
be, but electric bicycles, automobiles
and just the plain messenger boy kid
on jammed-up wheel that goes like
the wind, get the best of them every
time. The President could be killed by
one of these before Secret Service
man knew the machines are in the
horizon.

JUBILEE Of THE
HOUSE OF REFUGE
Celebration To-Day to Com
memorate the Irish
Catholic Mission.
Special I. The Journal.

New York, Nov. AT Carnegie
Hall tomorrow a civic celebration will
be held TO commemorate the silver jul
bilee of the Irish Catholic mission at
Battery Park, where for a quarter of
a century the incoming immigrant
girls have been met and cared for
until they could secure POSITIONS or
find relatives. One hundred thousand
young women have been cared for at
the mission during that period and
thousands of girls have doubtless
been saved from the clutches of the
auman vuitures and white slave
dealers who haunt the waterfronts OF
the metropolis, always ON the search
for unsophisticated and innocent
girls to Offer as a terrible sacrifice
Oh the altar of the black beast of lust.
When the tide of emigration from
Ireland was at its height in 1883 Miss
Charlotte O'Brien, Protestant Irish
woman, noticed the bad conditions
that prevailed and in order to be able
TO suggest a practical remedy. made
the journey across the Atlantic as a
steSTage passenger under an assIIm-
ed name. Arriving on this side she
spent some time in the boarding
houses whose runners besieged every
ship.
Her experience was appalling, and
the outcome of her labor was an
appeal 10 the Irish-Americans to es-
tablish a home where protection from
imposition and crime could be assHr-
ed until other and proper arrange
ments were made
