KAISER ON THE STUMP
HE DENOUNCES SOCIALISTS IN. AD
DRESS TO "WORKMEN,
Tells Them That They, Are Being
"Worked" and Advises Them, to
Send Workmen to Parliament.
BRESLAU, Prussia, Dec (. Emperor
William, addressing' a deputation of work
ing men today, mado a- bitter antl-Soclal-lst
speech, declaring It was a lie to say
that workmen had to rely on the Socialist
party for a betterment of their position.
The Socialists, he added, had terrorized
and trod the working men under foot and
as men of honor they must have no more
to do with them.
The presence of the workmen. Emperor
William maintained, showed that they
had not disappointed him In the expecta
tion ha expressed at Essen,, and had
helped to keep . free from reproach the
memory of his friend, the late Herr
Krupp. The working classes were always
the object of deep Interest and solicitude
to the Emperor. Therefore, he was Justi
fied la addressing a word of warning to
,the workmen.
For years they had let themselves be
led by agitators and Socialists, under the
delusion that they must belong to that
party, 1 they wished to better their posi
tion. That was a great He, and a serious
mistake. These agitators had tried to stir
up the worklrigmen- against their employ
ers, against other classes and against
the throne and .altar, and. at the same
time thoy had most unscrupulously ex
ploited, terrorized and" enslaved them, in
order to strengthen their" own power, not
for the promotion of the welfare of the
worklngmen, but in order to sow hatred
between the classes and disseminate cow
ardly slanders, from which nothing, not
even the grandest quality, the honor of
German manhood, remained Immune.
With such people the- working class, as
honor-loving men, should have nothing
more .to do. .
Emperor William co'ncluded by asking
the deputation to send a comrade from
their midst, a simple, unpretending man
from the workshop, into the national
parliament. Such a man would be, gladly
welcomed as a working representative of
the German working class. The repre
sentative of other classes, would willing
ly work together- with such representa
tives, however many they might be.

CATARRH
CHANGE OP CLIMATE
Jtot. Necessary in Order to Cure
Catarrh.
The popular Idea that the only euro for
chronic catarrh Is a change of climate ia
a mistake, because catarrh Is found In all
climates In all sections of- the country;
and even if a change of climate should
benefit for a time the catarrh will cer
tainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured In any cli
mate, but the only way to do It Is to de
stroy or remove from the system the ca
tarrhal germs which cause all the mis
chief. The treatment by Inhalers, sprays,
powders and washes has been proven al
most useless In making a permanent cure,
as they do not reach the seat of disease,
which Is In the blood, and can be reached
"'"j a" juremai imucuy wnicn acta
'through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success In curing catarrh of
the head, throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the' stomach, is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tableta
These tablets, which are pleasant and
hannlesa to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
Rtot, Red Gum and a new specific called
Gtuatacol. which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined In convenient,
palatable tablet form, and as valuable
for children as for adults.
Mr. A. R. Fernbank. of Columbus, O..
pays: I suffered so many winters from
Catarrh that I took, It as a matter of
course, and that nothing would cure It
except a change of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
My nostrils were almost always clogged
up; I had to breathe through the mouth,
causing an Inflamed, Irritated throat. The
thought of eating breakfast often nause
ated mb, and the catarrh gradually get
ting into my stomach took away my ap
petite and digestion.
My druggist advised me to try a 50
cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be
cause he. said ho had so many customers
who had been cured of Catarrh by the
use of these tablets that he felt he could
honestly recommend them. I took his
advice and used several boxes with re
sults that surprised and delighted me.
I alway keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets In the house, and the whole fam
ily use them freely on the first appear
ance of a cough or cold In the head.
With our children we think there la
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and
colds and with older people I have known
of cases where the hearing had been se
riously Impaired by chronic catarrh cured
entirely by this now remedy.
