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 q
simple, safe, inexpensive home treat
ment discovered by DR.. BIosser, who for
over thirty-six years has been treating
Catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. 1t
is not a spray, douche, salve cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
oush 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.
II heals the diseased mucous membranes
nd arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
il does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment with
out cost send your address to DR.. J. w.
Blosser. 26l Walton street, Atlanta, Ga,
and he will send you by return mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy Won
that it is all he claims for il as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, catar-
rhal deafness. asthma, bronchitis, colds
and all catarrhal complications. He will
also send you free an illustrated bookle..

CHILD'S CURIOSITY BRINGS
FIREMEN TO GAR BARN

Ten-year-old Helen KObb allowed her
curiosity to get the better of her yester-
day when she mistook an old-fashioned
fire alarm box in the City and Suburban
car barn at Thirteenth and streets
northeast for clock and accidentally
called out the firemen.
1t was a fearful pair of blue eyes that
looked up through stray locks of yellow
curIs into Judge De Lacy's face before
the bar of the Juvenile Court as she ex-
planned in a childish tremor just what
she had done. This is the way it hap
pened:
Helen was playing about the streets,
having a sOod time all by herself, when
she suddenly remembered that her moth
er told her she must be in by noon at the
latest. But there wasn't a clock in sight,
and as Helen was prowling about the car
barn she Spied the alarm box in corner,
which she surely thought was a clock.

PRESS DISPATCHES
State and War Departments
Hear Numerous RumOrs.

There were no important developments
in the official circles of Washington yes
terday regarding the military situation
in the vicinity of the Rio Grande 1t
was day of denials. for the most part
The only suggestive move was an inquiry
sent by the State Department to the
United States consul at Chihuahua. ask
ing for information in regard to the
press dispatches from San Antonio stat
ing that John Hamilton Dignowitty and
three other Americans had been shot to
death under orders of I Mexican drum
head court-martial, which found them
guilty of participation in the insurrec-
tIonary movement. The inquiry was sent
late in the afternoon and no reply had
been received up to late hour last
right
There was some interest manifested
at the War Department, over the press
dispatches. which carried the informa-
ton that the Third Cavalry had been
fired upon by Mexican marauders, and
inSurrectOs while the United States
troops were marching under orders
of Brig. Gen Joseph w. Duncan from
Marathon to the Chisos mines in the
big bend of the Rio Grande. south of
Alpine. in Brewster County, Tex.
At both the State Department and the
War Department there was considerable
interest in the press reports that United
states troops had been fired upon while
guarding the customs officers on the Dor
der, who had intercepted supplies from
the Preside intended for Mexican troops
besieged in OjinagO.
Another interesting rumor carried in
the press dispatches that received some
attention in official and diplomatic circles
was to the effect that Mexico and Japan
had mutually agreed to terminate
secret treaty in the interest of preserving
the peace. State Department officers met
this report with the assertion that there
was no secret treaty between Japan and
Mexico, and that the treaty OF commerce
and navigation which had existed be-
tween Japan and Mexico was almost
identical with the treaty between Japan
and the United States, which was super
seeded by the convention ratified by the
Senate just before Congress adjourned.

would throw open the face of the clock.
Click, click, click" and Helen's eyes
bulged out wider and wider. But Helen
was real frightened a moment later when
a smoking fire engine, drawn by two
putting horses, drew up to the door. An
other moment brought hook and ladder
to the door and little Helen, not able to
restrain herself any longer burst into
tears. A blue-coated policeman took
Helen in charge and half an hour later
appeared in the doorway of the Juvenile
Court holding a very much frightened
little person by the hand.
Judge De Lacy simply pinched one OF
Hcle1S rosy, besmeared cheeks in a way
that dispelled all her fear.

No sir beamed Helen. And what is
more. Helen is always going to ask some
one what time it is now, instead of try
ing to find out for herself.

TAILORING TALKS.

The important thing in Tailor
ing is this: To get Clothes that
fit your individuality as we'll as
your form. Art and taste have to
enter into the designing of the
patterns. For example, one of
the handsomest models this sea-
son IS a one-button cutaway
frock, t1at-braided. Nine men out
of ten can wear such a garment
most becomlngly, but the tenth
man couldn't, and we wouldn't
recommend it to him. For him
there's a style that wouldn't be
suited to others. So it goes.

name as Mary Klein. and was recon-
mended by an employment agency. She
had worked in the house only a few
hours. According to the circular, the girl
was known as Lena Mueller, and had
many aliases. she was accompanied by
a man who had the resemblance of being
of German descent.
When next heard from the woman had
operated in Brookline, Mass, in the home
of Francis II. Rowley, in October. 1910.
She gained admittance to this home as
a servant, and managed to make away
with more than $1,000 worth of jewels.
Again the description comedies with the
Mary being searched for by the WASH
ington police.
In Baltimore on March 80, 1910. the
home of Mrs. Rose Moses, 2H Eutaw
place, was pillaged of jewels valued
at more than $500 by a servant answer
ing the description of Mary. The circular
states that the domestic obtained good
recommendations by advertising for a
maidservant, and when reputable appli-
cants called she requested that they
leave their letters that she might in
vestigate them. From these she selected
those she thought to be the best for
her means, and applied for position,
using them for her interests.
This circular also states that she works
with a male confederate, who awaits
her coming in an automobile. that her
escape may be hurried. This latter fact
adds to the theory that she had with
her in Washington some man who as
sisted her in getting away.
Peculiar Method.
One peculiar feature OF the records of
the operations of the girl is the fact that
she apparently only PHYS her profession
once every six months. She works, ac-
COrding to the circular, in the North in
the fall of the year. and in the South

according to a statement made to-day
before the students of Case School of
Applied Science. by DR.. Joseph A
Holmes. Director of the Federal Bureau
of Mines.
The Director was giving a number
of suggestions which. if followed up
would mean a reduction of the number
of accidents. The mines of this country
exact a toll of more than 5000 lives
yearly.
The State mine inspectors should have
greater permanence in office and freedom
from political and other outside in
fiuences." said Director Holmes. Their
selection and continuance in Office should
depend upon their training and expe-
renee. They should be examined by a
nonpoltical board of mining men. They
should be appointed upon the recommen-
datiOn of such a board from the appli-
cants that have shown the highest skill
and best experience. Under no circum-
stances should they be selected by popu-
lar vote. In other words. politics should
nave nothing whatever to do with their
selection or their continuance in Office"

PERIENCElN LONDON.
From the Rochester Times.)

(From the Rochester Times.)
Half century ago there was no
city in the world where an eminent
specialist had the opportunities that
were presented to one in London;
realizing this fact DR.. Barker, after
graduating from Heidelburg, located
IN London. His practice grew so
rapidly that at the end of five years
I he established the largest practice
of any physician in that city. His
practice was confined to chronic ca
ses only in the treatment of rheuma
tism, catarrh, kidney and bladder
diseases. He used one never failing
prescription--this same prescription
he had written thousands Of times;
and he had seen patients come into
his office on crutches, who said they
had been troubled with rheumatism
tor IS and 20 years. and after they
used this special prescription for
two or three days, they would come
walking TO his office, as nimble as a
school boy, and thank him for the
good he had done them The Doc
tor said in an interview that one man
about As years old came to him one
day and said he had been injured
while working at the carpenter trade
about twenty years before, and had
suffered constantly since with kid
ney trouble. He had tried everything
to get relief, but nothing seemed to
do him any good. He asked the
Doctor if he really knew anything
that would cure him, and he told
him Of nevec failing remedy fer all
chronic cases like his. He wrote him
a prescription aud told him to take
it for i week and then come and let
him know how he was getting along
This In-n came back to his office in
just four days and said he had not
felt as well in his life. He also stated
that his daughter, whom he had TAX

were too weak to study, and she

prise, she improved wonderfully |
from the first dose. He told him

she commenced to take the medi-
cine until she could see as well as ev
er and was able to return to school. |

such remarkable cases had been
