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
tnat Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly

stroying the foundation of the disease

up the constitution and assisting ma
trre in doing it's work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that

ELECTRICITY FOR
DOMESTIC USE PLAN

Should the Richmond Light, Heat
and Power company establish rate
for artificial gas that proves prohib
tive to the average consumer, it Is
probable that the city will make ar
rangements to secure electricity fol-
heating and cooking that would com
pare favorably with gas prices. &C.
cording to an investigation said to
have been made by city officials. The
practicability Of using electricity for
heating and cooking in ranges has
been investigated by some of the of.
ficials, in view of the fact that it will
be necessary for the gas company to
supply artificial gas next fall and
winter as the natural gas supply will
run out in about October.
II the gas company does not set a
reasonable rate, and it is learned that
electricity can be supplied as cheap
ly, plans to use the latter current will
probably be made.

framework is made and boarded up

shooting 400 to 500 rounds rs times
per minute. Eight men are stationed
at each gun. but it only takes three
men to operate it.

Cross. The first word which came to

which are ice free throughout the year.
Furthermore, the presence OF allied
