THE MAN WHO TALKS

Isn't it strange that man never yearns for work, but is always longing for freedom from it? If you hear any, one say they like to work, it is a per- son who through training has become inured to 1t, and who thinks he could not live without 1t. Most people have the don't want to's' oftener than they go to meeting. It seems to be a wild thing to say, but the whole race seems to be inherently lazy. It is this natural feeling, quite likely, which makes the annual vacation regarded as such an incentive to work the rest of the year. MeI work to gain respite with all the zeal they do to earn money, and idleness is curse, we are assured-"the burial of living man." declared Jeren Taylor; and this is one of the things which makes us envy the so-called elite. Shakespeare wrote: Ten thousand harms more than the ills we know, our idleness doth hatch" Most people would loaf if they could. It is said two-flfths ot the people now support the other three fifths, and we pride ourselves upon our industry. Doesn't this seem to support the doctrine of mans total depravity?

So Gauss has been discovered by his

.CATARRH
AT MEALS
The Catarrh Victim, Especially at the
Table, an Object of Disgust.

Good Appetite and Catarrh Rarely
Travel Together.

The limit" is the catarrh gagger at the

or the nausea he causes to other people
who are trying not to notice or hear him.
Do you wonder that other people despise
this creature? While others have joyous
ly assembled around the board with a
delicious mountaineering appetite, here
comes the hawker with nose-jerking
grimaces, jerk-gurgle in his throat, and
a balled-up handkerchief in his hand.
Horrors, forget it, Go away and cure
that catarrh before appearing at a public
table and mingling your bad breath with
the scent of Steaming tenderloin steak.

What happens at the table when the
catarrh- gag comes on (and a man can't
eat and pull his nose at the same time)
we will not mention. What happens after
such a meal in the sitting room, or dress
ing room, or ball room, or the stairs,
anywhere and everywhere, with a hawk,
hawk, hawk, can be imagined. What
happens when the victims almost leans on
top of the cuspidors in the presence OF
members of the family and hawks anG
jerks with twisted face is a subject merely
to be mentioned. What happens during
the snoring, sleepleSS hours of the night,
with a foul-smelling odor waiting about
in the closed room we can easily picture.
And add to it all the misery of the mis-
cradle man himself. Is it any wonoer
that divorce is seized upon as cure?
The Gauss treatment would at once
remedy all these horrible phases. If left
to c. E. Gauss, Mrs. Rasmussen would
have no reason for getting a divorce.

Catarrh anywhere in the head or throat

nerves that run from all parts of the face
and head to the brain. Some of these
little nerves have to pass through proba-
bly, mass of catarrh inflammation On
the road to the brain. When they do they
are weakened; and sometimes destroyed.

SNIFFLER CHASED
OUT OF MEETING
Enraged Audience Roughly Handles
Gagger Who Interrupts Speech.

San Antonio. Sept. 1s.-During public
primary meeting here today, a middle
aged man in the audience. who was fumb-
ling rolled up handkerchief in his hand
and persistently shifting and pulling his
nose during the delivery of a speech was
forcibly elected from the assembly hall.
Cries of kick him OUT and Choke the
lobster interrupted the proceedings, and
finally resulted in a grand rush for the
nose-puller by some of the enraged hear
ers. He was grabbed by the coat collar
and unceremoniously and swiftly moved
toward the door.
When the man first sat down and began
loudly tearing out a throat-hawk, the
audience shifted nervously. After contin-
uing the draw-rattle of his catarrh
through one of the most stirring parts
of the speech the audience gave vent to
its feelings. He was roughly handled on
the way out, and sustained several severe
bruises. He was taken to the county
hospital.
1t is such occurrences as these which
make the catarrh victim one of the de-
spised Of his race. He can't help show
his disease. If this man had simply spent
a Few moments time to send to G. E.
Gauss for a package of the wonderful
Gauss Catarrh Treatment, he never would
have suffered such an indignity as being
kicked out of a public meeting.
