The readers of this paper will
be pleased TO learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all it's stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken i'm
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

GROWN IN LOUISIANA"

The Grown in Mississippi"
movement is succeeding admir-
ably, and should be followed up
in Louisiana. Probably it is not
necessary to have an organiza-
ton to carry out the idea, but
each and everybody who grows
anything in Louisiana for sale
should label it Grown in Louis
lana" Wherever the package
goes it will advertise the re-
sources of the State. and crea-
ate a demand for Louisiana
grown articles. Every car load
of lumber sent out from our mills
should also be labeled as well as
the fruits of the field and gar
den. The Mississippi organiza-
tiJn is having the dining cars
that pass through the State to in
augurate a plan of advertising
the products of the State used on
the tables of the cars. Much
more can be accomplished by an
organization than the people
could do singly; still in the mean
time, before an organization can
be effected in Louisiana, every
Louisianian can do much towards
advertising the resources of the
State by having the words
Grown in Louisiana" placed
somewhere On the labels or on
the packages or crates sent out.
