Do Not Neglect It.

When you use indicated sprays,
atomizers and douches for your Ca
tarrh, you may succeed in unstopping
the choked-up air passages for the
time being, but this annoying condi-
ton returns, and you have to do the
same thing over and over again.
Catarrh has never yet been cured
by these local applications. Have
you ever experienced any real benefit
from such treatment?

FROM HIGHLANDS PLATFORM.

II you elect me senator and treaty of
peace is submitted to the United States SEN
ate during my encumbency which contains
a clause sacrificing the right of the people
of this country to maintain the protective
policy which has been favored by every
great constructive American statesman
from Washington to Mckinley. shall vote
to reject ii as a humiiating and destructive
sacrifice of American rights and interests.
The importance of electing a Republican
senator i'm West Virginia is more apparent
when it is obvious that this very question
may be submitted to the Senate for its de-
csion. do not favor the sacrifice Of
American blood and treasure to the end
that peace may be made at the sacrifice OF
the prosperity and happiness of the Amer
lean pe0ple, and in order that the adversar-
les with whom we are now graphing on the
battlefield may fatten at our expense.
Virgil Highland is farmer, banker, a
newspaper man, commercial and indust-
rial developer, indeed, typical West Vir-
ginian who knows the needs of the state and
nation and who never loses an opportunity
to bring the state to the front. His life
story presents splendid example Of the
heroic type Of self-made men, say all those
who know him and his struggles for sue
cess.
