of Catarrh
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 1t by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser, who,
for over thirty-five years, has been treat
ing catarrh successfully.
His treatment Is unlike any other.
It IS not a spray, douche. salre, cream,
or inhaler, but is more direct and
thorough treatment than any of these
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 mucous
membranes and arrests tho foul dis
charge, so that you will not be con-
stantly blowing your nose and splitting
and at the same time it does not poison
the system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DIR.

Another Veterans Story.

Possibly the greatest affiiction which
the boys of '60-'65 have to contend with
in their old age is the scourge of Rheu-
matism. for many a seed was planted
in those cold, damp days which is now
bearing fruit in stiifened joints and ach-
ing muscles. 1t is good to know that
many are getting help through Kuhn's
rheumatic Remedy, which has been ad-
Vertised extensively in these columns
and the advertisement of which appears
in this issue. The following letter from
a G. A. Il. veteran, lately received BY
the proprietors of this medicine, and but
one of many, indicates what NAV he
expected by rheumatic sufferers from
"a course of this medicine:

candidate for the last Two or three
years has been Mrs. Belle G. Harris,

she looms above all other candidates

sas has never had but one Natioral
President, and that is Mrs. Margaret
4. Wickins, the silver-tongued orator,
who charmed everybody with her bril-
liant speeches while she was actively
engaged in the Relief Corps work. Her
duties as matron of the Ch ldrens
Home of Illinois and i'll health have
kept her away from recent National
Conventions but she is widely renem-

woman and child in the Department of
Kansas who knows anything about the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Woman's Relief Corps, and, indeed, she
Is ipdorsed by great many outs de
the organization, for her abilities and
work are not circumscribed by any one
order. She is just as prominent in
church and civic work as in the patri-
otic work, and her b brain and large
energies are never so Well employed as
when she is buffeting the world in be-
half of the sick, suffering and down
trodden She is one of the charter
members of the Relief Corps in the De-
partment of Kansas, and has been one
of its most earnest and ardent workers
from the beginning. She is bound up
heart and soul in the Womans Relief
Corps and Is so thoroughly acquainted
with its work that she can almost do
1t with her eyes shut.
The election of Mrs. Jennie /. Berry
last year cleared from the tracks all
OF the former candidates excepting
Mrs. Harris, and she received from the
friends who had supported Mrs. Berry
promise of support for the coming year
1nw that all pledges had been kept.
The Kansas Womans Relief Corps is
sending out its circulars to members of
the organization everywhere asking sup
port for Mrs. Harris, and she is re-
ceiving promises from all sides. That
