catarrh Causes Kidney Disease.

Catarrh is a frequent cause OF kid
new disease. The pelvis of the kid
news, as well as the tubules, is lined
with mucous membrane, and is there
fore subject to catarrhal congestion.
Sometimes the catarrb is so slight as TO
cause no attention. Other times tleads
up to very serious conditions.
Any remedy capable of mitigating
the catarrh is q much more rational
treatment than to give palliatives that
only relieve the patient of one or more
disagreeable symptoms.
1t is claimed for Peruna that it is an
internal systemic catarrh remedy, and
reaches the catarrh in whatever organ
it happens to be located.
81 was cured of severe attack of in
fiammation Of the bowels by taking Pc

To any one."-Mrs. J. j. Eross, $50

SENATOR LoRIMER, of Illinois, is in a
peck Of trouble. He got into the United
States Senate by buying outright the nee
essary number Of votes in the Illinois
Legislature, and, unfortunately for him,
the bribery has been exposed and those
who sold him their votes have confessed.
This is pretty bad, but no one need be
shocked. If all the Senators who have
bought their seats should be hauled up
there wouldn't be a corporal'S guard left
NOT including West Virginia, OF course.

The deed of transfer OF the famous
mound at Moundsville, by the g. S.
McFadden heirs to the State of West Viz
ginia, has been formally executed. The
mound is 10 feet high and measures 900
feet in circumference. Trees are growing
on its summit. II had been the intention
OF the owners to remove the mound to
make room for building lots. To save
the historic pile, the State appropriated
$4,000, while $1,000 was raised by the
children of the State and $1,000 was do
mated by the McFadden heirs as menu
orial to their father, who preserved the
mound for years. The mound was first
located by Joseph TomIinson of Pittsburg
in l772. The late g. S. McFadden bought
it Is years ago to prevent its falling into
the hands OF man who intended to open
hotel on its summit.

How to Get Rid
Of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try

Those who suffer from catarrh know
it's miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by sim
pie, safe, inexpensive. home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser. who, for over
thirty-five years, has been treating ca
tarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. 1t
is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any of these. 1t
cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs\so that you can again breathe free
ly and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.
1t heals the diseased mucous membranes
and arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
it does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach. as internal medicines DO.
II you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your audress to DR..
J. w. Blosser, 81 Walton street, Atlanta,
Ca, and he will send you by return mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy you
that IL is all he claims for 1t as remecy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, ca
tarrhal deafness. asthma, bronchitis, colds
and all catarrhal complications. He Will
also send you free an illustrated book
let. Write him Immediately.

The proud discoverer, Mufies, rode
The Prince the way to granny's led
And walked yard or two ahead.
WHEN dear old granny saw the four,
As they arrived at her cabin door,
And saw the box with its silver key
Which her only son had owned at sea,
"a handsome treasure box when new
Given to him by shipwrecked crew.
And when the Prince spoke UP and said
That from this time her daily bread
Would include steak and mutton chop
And buttered toast with jam on top;
And when he handed her the key
And said to open it and see,
The poor old woman couldn't speak
But she took his hand and on his cheek
She placed kiss as if to say,
IA granny's blessing, my boy, today
The box was opened by Dinkey Dadd
And the sight made every one feel glad,
For there was money, glittering gold,

For the Prince began without delay
To find the marking stone or tree
Where granny's buried gold should be-.
He ordered the Jap an axe to bring
And a ball of Irvine for measuring string;
And Captain Dinkey got ready quick
With two big shovels and a pick;
But Dutchy said he'd stay behind
And the Gypsy camp and callers mind;
For the hornet stings hurt Dutchys face;
Put eyes and nose all out of place.
MUFFLES had finished morning nap
With his head and paws on granny's map
And now he slowly marched ahead
And the footsteps of the others led.
They walked an hour uphill and down
Till they reached place close to the town
In little thicket of evergreen
As pretty spot as was ever seen;
The lake in front and beyond view
Of golden farms and mountains blue;
Then Mufies stopped and his meowing queer
Told Domino that the gold was here.
They raised stone and then they made
A good sized hole with pick and spade.
Twas Dinkey's pick gave hardest knocks
And he it was who struck the box:

As he dropped his pick and danced with glee.

To ask if he might with him go
To see the dear old granny told
That they had found her box of gold;
'Dat may see her most f-fall dead

THE box was lifted from the hole
And fastened strongly to pole
And carried high between the two,

And watch and compass and treasures rare
Which granny's son had hidden there.
THAT afternoon on Muff1es' mat
Where Mufles always slept or sat
They found package and note
In shalzy words that granny wrote
Which said, II send to you today,
Just as gift and not as pay,
A coin for each piece of gold,
In memory of a woman old;
To bring good luck to the Gypsy camp;
For each to keep in life's long tramp"
And then the note went on to say
That to the Prince she'd send next day
A dozen bills of size the best
That she could find in the treasure chest.
But how that note came no one knew

And said that Muf1es would surely find

He whispered something in the Princes ear.
The Prince was calm and to the merchant lad
He said, "This message by Dinkey Dadd
Requires me back at the camp tonight
And I can't stay the thief to fight;
But you keep Mufles; just lock the door
And leave him tonight within the store.
Then he said goodbye and off rney went
The Prince and Dinkey to their tent.
THIRTEEN dead mice, the following day,
Piled in heap on the counter lay.
The place was quiet; the counter clean;
But Muff1es nowhere could be seen.
With doors all locked he disappeared,
Or perhaps was killed. the merchant feared
The till was opened and in its tray
He found the cash that was taken away.
