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
s-itutiOn and assisting nature in doing its
work The prop-ietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Halls
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that il fails
to cure Send for list of testimonials.

Strange TO say. the fine grapes are
grown on the eastern slopes of the
Rhine and the choicest varieties, as
Johannisburger and Steinberger, are
produced higher up the river, south OF
the Rhine province. It is, neverthe-

the Moselle valley. The substantial

Sir Lomer Gouin. whose govern
ment is at stake in today's cleo
items in Quebec. has been premier
and Encouragement of the prov
inCe since 1905. For many years
prior to that date he had been a
leading member of the Qubec bar.
He entered the provincial parlia-
ment as a member from Montreal
in 1897. and was soon given impor-
tant administrative posts in the
provincial ministry. In later cleo
lions to parliament he was chosen
by reclamation. Sir Lomer has
the reputation of being a man of
marked intellectual ability, much
given to study. and one to be reck-
oned with in the future of the
dominion. AS a constructive states
man he is considered to have few
equals in Canada. His extraordin-
airy aptness for leadership is also
generally acknowledged, and his
followers would be much surprised
if he should not be returned TO
power.

Before the armistice, the first limitations

of all the people, and to further American

1t is a statistical fact that 96 per cent of

Forty is a very dangerous age
for those who are ignorant from
the neck down. 1t introduces the
most eventful decade of life, in
which Old General CardiolVascu-
lar Degeneration plays havoc with
so many health-ignorant mortals.
High blood pressure is not a dis
ease, but just a sign of some dis
ease. The familiar expressions OF
cardio-vascular degeneration are
hardening Of the arteries, slow
heart muscle failure, chronic
Brights disease, and apoplexy
I've harped on this subject a
great deal, and several readers de-
clare l have given no clue as to
the causes. That only goes to
show how unapprecIative readers
are, for | have twanged the life
out of one string Of my harp-on
overeating and insufficient exer
else. That is the most common
cause of premature physical break
down, of cardio-vascCIar degenera-
ton. You may watch the c. Y. D.

The use OF alcohol rs a beverage
comes second to overeating as a
cause of cardio-vascular degenera-
ton. Uncle Sam is doing what he
can to remove this factor.
The use of tobacco as a narcotic
comes third in the lis. of causes.
The younger the Individual who
uses tobacco, the greater the dam
age done. A penalty of at least 10
years Imprisonment should be ex-
acted from any person under the
age of p years found with tobacco
in his possession. OF course sucn
a law would not please the morti-
cans the least bit, but health comes
before business nowadays.
Syphilis poison and the poisons
of other infectious diseases are
frequent contributing causes OF
cardio-Vascular degeneration. 1t
must be remembered that syphilis

candy have nothing to do with

reiterating his complaints. Ora
sighed a trifle, then drove away
the cloud that lowered by humming
pretty little air about birds, and
sunshine, and flowers. She had her
cross to bear as well as Uncle
John. but il came from sharing his
troubles, real and imaginary. Ora
was his niece and homeless or
phan when, after the death of Aunt
Mary she was sent for by Uncle
John to take up her home with
himself and his motherless boy.
She became the angel of the house,
a blessing to the old man, if he
only knew it. for she helped him
carry his burdens and her dill
gence and economy lightened the
expenses and brought comfort ard
contentment, the latter to young

inclined to go out into the world

and he was a sutton to be proud OF

she had told him clearly that she
could not leave her uncle while he
