A train load of Salty sailors passed through Gallup one night last week, going the other way. There were 430 of them and they visited in the city for several hours. The train in which they were travelling was beautifully camoufiaged with beautiful like nesses of the kaiser. And occa- sionally they had a word or two to say in chalk on the outside of the cars. One of them said "Join the navy and see the world through a port hole. " Another said From Gods country to No mans land" There were a few others about the kaiser that look good only in print on the out side of one of those cars.-Gallup h. dependent.

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 its stages and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur faces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Halls Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
