and Stalled Train

Galveston, Texas, Oct. lS.-The cir
Gus train was stalled by an empty water
tank of the engine. The engineer and
fireman We're vociferously mingling
mutual accusations with profanity.
Then they saw long, snaky object,
wriggle over the rear of the tender and
dart down into the empty tank. The
object proved TO be an elephant g
trunk. Following this very tangible clue
they discovered that three elephants,
who were occupying the car in the rear
of the tender, had lifted off the cover
of the tank and utilized the entire con
tents in elephantine shower baths.
As punishment for this infraction
Of railroad etiquette the elephants were
compelled by Hindu mahout named
I o Reilly to push the locomotive three
miles to the nearest source Of water

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as serofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat Of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is. known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it.. There. is no
real substitute.

rheumatism Is caused by uric s:id
which is generated in the bowels and

ton OF the kidneys TO filter this acid

n means of freeing the blood of this

weather the skin pores are closed. thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps

the system. eventually settling In the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pam called rheumatism.
