Avoid Its Dangerous Stage.
There is a 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
its course downward until the
lungs become affected, and then
dreaded consumption is on your
path. Your own experience has
taught you that the disease cannot

HER FAVORITE SON.

Hiram Johnson is still California's
tavorite son, Judging by the votes cast
for him and Hoover at the recent pri-
maries in that state The result is
no surprise as the feeling towards
johnson has been cordial notwith-
standing his action four years ago in
Withholding support from Hughes. Az
to Hoover the fact that he was bitten
by the Wilson bug a couple of years
ago and lost his sense of proportion
had not been. forgotten by the folks
at home. There has also been
question as to his politics and to his
citizenship many regarding him as
pro-European in sentiment at least.
Just now with Americanism being an
piled as test of fitness Hoover ne
cessarily went into the discard. Hooy-
er has regretted no doubt his mistake
in asking his friends and voters at
large to support the Democratic can
.dldates for congress and should be
given credit for restored vision. John
son never was for Wilson even though
he was not for Hughes. He has
squared himself with the country by
telling the unvarnished truth about
the treaty and its author and his pop
ularity is on the increase.-Galena
