WHAT CATARRH IS

1t is said that-every third person is
troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretions of the mu-
cous membranes are quickly affected,
and local treatments in the form of
snuffs and vapors, do little>if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood and
improving your general condition with
the oilfood in SCOTS Emulsion which
isa mathematical anda building-tonic,
free from alcohol or harmful drugs.
SCOTS Emulsion is not a patent
medicine but concentrated medicinal
food, prescribed by the best ply
sicians for forty years.

MRS. TILLMAN MUST

Department Stands by Its Ruling in
Case of Postmistress at
Geneva, Ala.

Though Mrs. Ida o. Tillman. recently
dismissed as postmistress at Geneva, Ala.
is spending twenty-four hours day in
the Office there, the Postoffice Depart
ment intends to stand by its ruling that
she quit the service because she was
not there eight hours a day during the
larger part OF last year.
while we could hardly take official
notice Of the fact that Mrs. Tillman has
invested money in a new building for
the postoffice," said Assistant Postmas-
ter General Roper yesterday, yet as
far back as last September, when / wrote
to Representative Clayton regardingg her
successor. I said / hoped the change
could be made without causing her un-
due financial loss.
There have been hundreds Of res
ignations or dismissals on account of the
inability or refusal of postmasters to
comply with the order to spend spe-
cifc number of hours on duty each day,
and this is one of the many.
I'VE have shown Mrs. Tillman every
consideration, but IL she refuses to turn
over the office to her successor. w. X.
Kenan, we probably shall send an in
spector down there to take charge
