in turf circles in the west for manv
years. He had a numHer of harness

per cent of the arrivals in the native
division are steers, and killers are
unable to secure enough of the butch

buy the class of quarantine cattle now
coming. Confidence in rising mar

good to choice heavy steers bring $7.25

a subject merely to be mentioned. What
happens during the snoring, sleepless
hours of the night when a foul-smelling
odor waiting about in the closed room, We
can easily picture.

SNFFLER CHASED
OUT OF MEETING
EnraSed Audience Roughly Handles
GnEger Who Interrupts Speech.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 1s.-Ddring a
public primary meeting here today, a
middle-aged man in the audience who
was fumbling a rolled UP handkerchief
in his hand, persistently shifting and
pulling his nose during the delivery of a
speech, was forcibly elected from the as
sembly hall Cries of kick him OUT"
and Choke the lobsterH interrupted the
proceedings, and finally resulted in a
grand rush for the nose puller by some
of the enraged hearers. He was grabbed
by the coat collar and unceremoniously
and swiftly moved toward the door.
When the man first sat down and be-
gan loudly tearing out a throathawk, the
audience shifted nervously. After con-
tinuing 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 se-
we're 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

Catarrh Kills
Thinking Power
Gradual CI0uding of the Brain and
Loss of Memory Inevitable
Result of CRtnrrh.

Catarrh anywhere in the head or
throat or ear is right next to the brain.
The catarrh germ grows fast, does an
enormous amount of damage in its bur-
rowings into bone and flesh and is diff
cult to destroy. There are thousands of
little nerves that run from all parts of
the face and head to the brain. Some
of these little nerves have to pass
through probably a mass of catarrhal
infamma tions on the road to the brain.
When they do they are weakened and
sometimes destroyed.
What affects the nerves Is bound TO
affect the brain, and when the nerves
are deadened by constant catarrhal dis
charges there is bound TO be certain
torpor of the victim. Thus follows sleep
lessness, inability TO think clearly or TO
connect ideas, loss of memory, lack OF
concentration, lack Of presence OF mind
and a wandering of thought.
II any man or woman imagines that
these things do not affect their earning
capacity, their cheerfulness and the es-
TEEN which their friends have for their
brightness, they have little realization OF
the necessity of keeping the mind always
clear. That is all there is to life.
When it takes such a comparatively
short time to cure this terrible disease
by the. Gauss common-sense treatment,
and regain the'fash and brilliancy of the
normal brain there is no good reason
why one should not spend the two or
three minutes to cut out the coupon
