There is more Catarrn IN this sec
tion OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, 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, o., is

was sent In for the reserve police from
the Stags street, the Lee avenue, the

police stations.
The police broke into the houses and
swarmed through them. The fire was
now so dangerous that there seemed lit
tie hope OF saving any OF them. The
tenants were ordered from their beds
and no time was given for dressing or
saving household goods or valuables.
The half-dressed tenants then were
driven back from their homes. The po.
lice formed Gordon aboct the block
and no one was allowed inside the dan.

The firemen then turned their atten.
ton to saving big six-story factory
