CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is blood or constitutional disease. and m order to cure it you must take inter nal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quick med icine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for vears and is a regular prescription. It composed of the best tonics known, lombined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in g-edients is what produces such won
 arful results in curing catarrh.

TottenviIIe League Turns Out
Nearly 100 Per Cent. of
Members on Call.
By speoia. Correspondent.

Tottenville, July 6-An emergency
gall sent by Police Commissioners
Woods to the various commanding Of
Ecers Of precinct police stations of the
Ave boroughs of the greater city yes
terday afternoon to have members of
the Home Defense League report at
s o'clock last night to their respective
precincts ready for duty. brought out
108 out of the entire 110 members of
the 99th precinct membership. This
was nearly one hundred per cent.
which will come near the record for
the entire city. The call was sent out
through the corporals who notined
the members of the squad.
The four island precincts responded
as follows: 80th precinct, Stapleton,
three captains; six lieutenants and 147
privates including coporals; S1st pre-
cinct, West New Brighton, six cap
tains, nine lieutenants and 388 pri-
Yates, including corporals; seth pre-
cinct, New Dorp, three captains, six
lieutenants and 10 privates including
corporals; 99th precinct, Tottenville,
two captains. four lieutenants and 102
privates including corporals.
Colonel White, six deputy police
commissioner in charge of the Home
Defense League, who conducted the
test, said that he considered 1t O. re-
markable showing throughout the
City. When the muster had been COM
pleted Colonel White announced that
Brooklyn led the boroughs with 297
men reported for duty. Manhattan
reported 2,253, Queens 1,34S, the
Bron 926, and Richmond 1853. The
returns were SO close and the compe-
tition so keen that Colonel White de-
cided not to announce q precinct
winner until he has considered
a board composed of two in
spectors of the regular force, two ci-
villains interested in the league work
and himself to check up the reports
and make certain no injustice Is done.
The members of the league who re-
sponded to the call last night were
put through brief drill before they
were dismissed. Those here received
an invitation to attend the Community
Chautauqua which they accepted.
