Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.

There is more serious stage Of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency Of the disease to continue
it's course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your

BODY OF UNKNOWN MAN FOUND IN WlLLlMANTIc RIVER.
Was Clothed in Light Apparel, and Indications Point to Suicide.

The body of an unknown man was found in the Willimantic river about half a mile below Bingham's bridge Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock by Fenelon McCulIum, aged IS, and 'Mer- ritt Smith an elderly man, while they were rowing down the river. In the opinion of Medical Examiner w. l.. Higgins of South Coventry it was a suicide. There was nothing in the mans pockets and he wore only light clothing
 When the two men discovered the body they notified Selectman Wilcox with John Curley in a canoe, and placed the body on the bank, and then called Medical Examiner Higgins
 The body was not badly decomposed, Just how long it was in the water cannot be decided from the condition of the body, but was probably two or three weeks.
 The man was evidently about SO years old. He was bald, with a stubby mustache. The fact that his pockets contained no personal belongings might indicate suicide. He wore a vest, with no coat, and a light shirt, but no undershirt, cheap trousers and newly resoled shoes.
 1OOh dAtC GItC QlSCONSIy OI LIIS DOUy Dr. Higgins started out on several clues as to the mans identity The place where he. was found was about 8 mile from the Mansfield state hos pital and he tried to get into com munieation with the hospital, but the telephone wires were out of order. No one of the mans description had dis appeared from Eagleville or the Nor wich insane hospital The man re- sembled one of the two Germans who were arrested in this city last winter for alleged distribution of German propaganda, but the Springfield police notified pr. Higgins that they were seen alive on the streets a few min- utes before he telephoned.
 The body was turned over to Select man Wilcox. who had it removed to a Willimantic. undertaking room. In the death certificate Dr. Higgins intends to state that an unknown man com mitted suicide
