How to Get Rid
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 it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive home treat
ment discovered by DIR. Blosser, who,
for over thirtytive years, has been
treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not spray, douche, salve, 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 the 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
internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
]. w. Blosser, 800 Walton street, At
lanta, Ga, and he will send you by re-
turn mail enough Of the medicine to
satisfy you that it is all he claims for it
as remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma, bron-
chitis. colds and all catarrhal complica-
tions. He will also send you free an
illustrated booklet. Write him imme-
Idiately.

Editor National Tribune: When in

know what we thought of it. Have
been here over a week, and so far we
are quite pleased with the town and
also the people. Our location on Caro-

best in town, and there are a number
of pretty homes in that neighborhood.
Our five acres are fine; could not be
better. We are well pleased with our
purchase. Expect to be in our own
home inside of a week. The climate
is fine. No. matter how warm it is,
there is always good breeze. 1 had a

A GOOD CHANCE FOR INVEST
MENT.
BroOms and Brushes Can BE Manufac-
t,red at Little Cost From Palmetto.

(From the st. Cloud Tribune)
Comrade j. II. Boswell of Illinois
avenue and Seventh street. brought
some specimens of brushes and busters
made from palmetto to the Tribune Of
fee on Tuesday. Comrade Boswell
claims the distinction of having made
the first brushes of palmetto and the
first rugs of Spanish moss in st. Cloud.
He is very enthusiastic regarding the
possibilities of the palmetto, whose du-
rability and fiexibility makes it espe-
cially adapted to the, manufacture of
brooms and brushes of every descrip-
ton Comrade Poswell is selling
brushes made of palmetto as fast as he
can make them, and has sold as high as
Is in half day.
We think the palmetto, which is
growing wild all over our country, and
can be had for the taking. offers a
splendid opportunity for investment.
BrComS and brushes can be made to
sell much cheaper than the ordinary
broom corn, and will have the advan-
tagc of being twice as durable A broom
made of palmetto will outwear three of
the straw variety.
a factory to manufacture brooms,
brushes, etc, of palmetto could be
started here at a very small outlay of
capital, and there is not the slightest
doubt of its success. We think some
of our wide-awake citizens and others
interested in our colony should look
into this. The leaves of the palmetto
are exceedingly touch, as much so as
linen, and can be shredded to fine
threads. In connection with broom
making rope could be manufactured
Palmetto roots, too, contain an unusual
percentage of tannic acid used for tan
ming leather. The palmetto is here
and can be had for the gathering. Why
not utilize ii in some of the forms indi-
Gated? And there may be other uses
for it

Mr. w j. Patricks. of Lakeville, N.

Patricks is very successful lanch
builder and engineer, and this is his
second visit to St Cloud. He expressed
himself as being very much impressed
by our growth since his first visit. Mr.
Patricks was accompanied by his wife,
and 1t is his intention to locate here
permanently If sufficient encourage
ment be given him in his particular
line In this respect we wish once more
to direct attention to the deepening and
making navigable the canal between
East Tohopekaliga and Tohopekaliga
Lake. Were this done boats built here
could pass thru Tohopekaliga and then,
if desired. even to the Gulf.
. Mr.. Patricks is considering a location
on which to build a boat factory, and
the deepening of the canal would be n
strong inducement for him to build
here.
