CATARRH
4 SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part OF
the system are involved. 1t IS more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because OF the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc, show
that the tiny blood vessels OF the mu-
cous membranes are badly congested
and infamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed Of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals

HELP AlL-YEAR NAVIGATION,
Business Men Will Aid in St. Fran. cis Project. Means Much to
 This Section.

Memphis business men will take an active part in urging congress to make an appropriation for improve ments assuring all-the-year-round navigation on the St. Francis river.
 F. E. LeMaster, chairman of the publicity bureau of the Business Mems Club, yesterday afternoon ap- pointed committee 10 cooperate in every manner possible with the peo- pie of Marianna, Madison. Marked Tree and other cities vitally inter- eSted in the project.
 This committee will appear with the Arkansas delegations before the next meeting of the National Rivers and llafhors Congress and at the next session of congress IL iS thought that once sufficient pressure k brought to bear ta turn the attention of ga1= ernment officials to the neglected St. Francis that matters will be bettered and money appropriated for locks and dams guaranteeing sufficient water for navigation al any season of the year.
 Such an appropriation would mean the opening of vast new territory to the Memphis trade, according to Harry N. Pharr, engineer, who rep resented the Commercial League of MarianHa at a conference with officers of the bufeau of publicity yesterday afternoon.
 This territory, Mr. Pharr says, is all adjacent 10 Memphis, but is being bitterly fought for by St. Louis mer. chants, who have succeeded in getting unusually good railroad connections. There are thousands of bales of cot ton annually he says, that go to St. Louis, which would come to Mem. phis if packet line was in operation at all seasons.
 SURVEY MADE IN 1893.
 The project submitted yesterday by MT. Pharr originated in 1893 when a government survey was made and Improvements recommended. But other than to send a snagboat up the river in summer 10 clean up obstruc- tions there have been no eXtensiy changes to better conditions.
 The plan is to build first two locks and dams which will give a sufficient depth of water to make the river navigable at any season 10 Marianna and Madison. When this has been done another appropriation will be asked to put in still another lock and dam 10 make Marked Tree the head of navigation. Marked Tree is ap. proximatedly 200 miles from the mouth of the river.

HORSES LIKE

speeiql 10 the ETENINo NEws.

Woodbridge, April 27:-The old
proverb, You may drive a horse to
water, but you can't make him
drink has proved true since the
temporary removal of the stone foun-
tain at the Woodbridge Hotel. The
stone, which is said to have been
carved out by the Indians, was for
many years kept on the grounds of
the old Barron Homestead in Rah-
way avenue. A few years ago, by
the direction of DR.. Barron, OF New
York, owner of the Barron property,
it vas removed to the hotel to be
used as a public drinking trough for
horses.
Proprietor King had the stone
mounted on a fine cement base, max
ing it not only a useful but attractive
fountain. 1t is supplied by freshly
running water and has afforded
much comfort to both travellers and
horses. A few weeks ago 1t was
found necessary to remove the foun-
tain while the work of filing In and
matchmaking the street in that sec
ton was being done, and the major
ity Of horses that have been driven
up to the well to be watered have
refused to drink, and in several in
stances water has been carried to
the stone a few feet away and the
animals have quenched their thirst
with a great air of satisfaction. As
soon as the work on the street IS
completed the fountain will be put
in its old place.
