Catarrh Cannot be Cured

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with Local Applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
Is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter-
nal remedies Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not quack medicine.
1t was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years and
is regular prescription. It Is com
posed of the best tonics known, com
bined with the best blood purifiers, act
ing directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gradients Is what produces such won
deful results in curing Catarrh.

The New States,

There was no surprise in any
quarter when, last month, Con-
gress voted to promote Arizona
and New Mexico to the rank Of
statehood. A dozen years ago
they were at the point Of admis-
sion by virtue of an omnibus bill
that would also have admitted
Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory as two States. A hard fight,
| led by Senator Beveridge in his
capacity as chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories, gave us the
pre- sent State Of Oklahoma, with
suitable population and bounda-
ries. Arizona and New Mexico
ought to have been united and
brought in as one State with
proviso that after fifty years the
State might be divided into two
if it had population and wealth
equal to twice the average Of the
rest of the States of the Union.
In nothing else have orr politi-
cal parties more pernlclously OBJ
srructed craftsmanship than in
the shaping and admission of
new States. Under the bill as
passed it will be some time be-
fore State constitutions can be
adopted, and four new Senators
can be seated at Washington.
Meanwhile, this chapter Of our
history being closed, we must al
unite in wishing Arizona and
New Mexico a great and honora-
bic future. Let us also hope that
their four United States Senators
may prove to be men of sound
character, even though of limit
ed public experience. From

At the Station.

in. When the girl had produced a
photograph Of Mrs. Sullivan, and l had
recognized the bronze-haired girl of
the train, we were both we'll satisfied
which goes to prove the ephemeral
nature Of most human contentments.
Jennie either had nothing more to
! say, or feared she had said too much.
She was evidently uneasy before
Hotchkiss. l told her that Mrs. Sulli-
van was recovering In a Baltimore
hospital, but she already knew it,
from some source, and merely nodded.
She made few preparations for leav-
ing, while Hotchkiss and l compared
notes. and then, with the cat In her
arms, she climbed into the trap from
the town. ] sat with her, and on the
way down she told me q little, not
much.
IF you see Mrs. Sullivan" she ad.
vised, "and she is conscious, she prob
ably thinks that both her husband and
her father were killed In the wreck.
She will be in bad way, sir"
You mean that she-still cares
aoout her husband?"
The cat crawled over on my knee.
and rubbed its head against my hand
invitingly. Jennie stared at the un.
dulating line Of the mountain crests, a
colossal surf against blue ocean Of
sky. Yes, she cares" she said soft
ly. women are made like that. They
say they are cats. but Peter there in
your lap wouldn't come back and lick

you have to tell her the truth, be as
gentle as you can sir. She has been

something OF the situation in the car
Ontario was forming itself in my
mind: the incident at the farmhouse
lacked only motive to be complete.
Was Sullivan, after all, rascal or q
criminal? Was the murderer Sulli-
van or Mrs. Conway? The lady or the
tiger again.
Jennie was speaking.
Il hope Miss West was not hurt?"
she asked. I'VE liked her, all Of US.
She was not like Mrs. Curtis"
/ wanted to say that she was not

She glanced at my arm. You were

"Yes."
She waited for more questions, but

Then she closed it softly and came

Messiah Week at Lindshnrn

During the week 10 miscellaneous
concerts and recitals will be given
The soloists secured are artists Of
more than ordinary national reputa
ton.
In addition practically all of the 19
teachers employed in the Music De
partment will take part. Thus, to.
gether with the 0ratorio Chorus, the
Orchestra, Band, Male Chorus, and
Chapel Choir there is presented a
solid week of melody, the like of which
has never before been attempted in
the West.
That the music lovers of Kansas
who journey to Lindsborg year after
year, will be more pleased than ever
is evident. The Chorus. with more
select voices than ever, together with
soloiSts of national fame, insures a
treat long to be remembered and ap-
preciated.
Those who do not possess a must
cal training have been richly remem-
bered as may be seen by the var
iety that this years program pre-
sents. The large chorus also appeals

Only a few days ago a magazine on
the Pacific coast gave the Messiah
Festival three page mention. The
largest daily papers of the East have
often given space for its description
space which money could not buy.
If this Kansas festival is of such ma
tional interest, isn't it worth your
while to attend? Think it over. Plan
to go on the excursion Sunday, March
Great Bend at 1920 a. m.
What the Messiah Festival means to
the people of Lindsborg is apparent
through the great activity among the
citizns this week. Homes and yards
are being placed in a most invit.
ing condition. There is scarcely a
household that does not expect a
visit from friends. 1t is the time
when former .Lindsborg people return.

Men of Worth.

The only men of worth to a town
or community are those who forget
their own selfish ends long enough
and are liberal enough in their ideas
to encourage every public and private
enterprise; who are ready with brain
and purse to push every project cal
culated to build up the town and en-
nance its importance. The enter
prise and push of a community is the
foundation of its permanent success.
A town may as well prepare for its
funeral as to become Indifferent to
the enterprise in its midst. Men who
come to a town to make it their
