There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

are at rest within the cemetery limits.
The forenoon was ideal in every re-

The afternoon services were carried
out IN spite of the rain that contin-
ued necessarily all the afternoon by
marching from the st. Paul denot to
the armory, or Amusement Hall, where
the afternoons program was carried
out as published. This large build
ing was crowded to it's utmost and the
