Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
With. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
Very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis

not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.

and eliminates from the system all catar

CROOK PERSONATES A GIRL
Nebraska Hotel Clerk Fell in Love muC
Wanted to Marry Him.
Denver. Col.. "Dear Mr. Crawford:
Since there is no law which permits
two men to marry it will be impossible
for me to consent to become your wife.
You will find all the evidence of my
womanly charms which so attracted
you. as well as the 'form' which
you so admired in my room upstairs. I
am sorry to blast your fondest wishes,
beg to remain your sister.
"Minnie Swift."
That was the reply which Harry It.
Crawford, night clerk of the Midway
hotel at Kearue.v. Xeb.. received from
his lady love at the Windsor hotel in
Denver when anticipating an accept
ance of his offer of marriage. Behind
the sarcastic little note is the story
of a shrewd little liuiiko game.
Last November a handsome, flaxen
haired young woman appeared at the
Midway hotel in Kearimy, Xeb., and
was hired as waitress by Landlord
Casey. She said her name was Minnie
Swift and that she was trvinir to
for herself, as her mother was an invalid
and dependent for support upon her
only brother, who was a struggling
mining operator at Cripple Creek.
She had many admirers, among them
W. S. Weaver, a cattle buyer from
Wyoming. After three weeks she ask
ed for leave to stay at home for a few
davs. Next eveninir a slender
- -
man registered at the Midway hotel as
Arthur J. Swift, Cripple Creek, Colo.
Harry K. Crawford, night clerk, asked
If he was related to Minnie Swift
"She's my sister." answered the
young man. "Do you know her?"
When he learned that Minnie was a
waitress at the hotel he inquired eager
ly about her, and obtaining her address
went away. The following morning
he brought a note from Minnie asking
permission to stay at home while her
brother was in town. On the after
noon of the fifth day he asked Mr.
Casey to cash a draft for "only $250."
The proprietor couldn't, but W. S.
Weaver was only too happy to accom
modate his sweetheart's brother, who
had to leave town that night. Next
day Minnie Swift returned to work.
The draft was protested. Minnie cried
and said that there must be some mis
take; that her brother was in Denver
closing a mining deal. Weaver, being
unable to go. sent Clerk Crawford with
the girl to Denver to find Arthur Swift
and rectify the error. Weaver paid the
expenses of the trip. Crawford pro
posed on the train and Minnie promised
him an answer next morning. In the
morning Crawford found the note
given above. He went to the mom art.

GIFT TO THE NATION.
Agricultural Department's Collection
of Mew t conomic Plant
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is now putting into shape
a collection of new economic plants and
vegetables which are expected to prove
of great value to the farmers and gar
deners of the country. The collection
was made by Barbour Lathrop, former
ly of Chicago, who has spent two years'
time and thousands of dollars of his
own money on the project.
Two years ago Mr. Lathrop left New
York, taking with him as. an expert
botanist David G. Fairchild, who was
assigned for the purpose by the De
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton. At the time of his selection Mr.
Fairchild was in charge of the section
of seed and plant introduction.
During the two years which have
elapsed the party has visited almost
every part of South America, Europe,
Africa and Asia, to say nothing of the
stands at which they have made stops.
Everywhere they have gone they have
carefully investigated the regular crops
oy the farmers of the country, and have
purchased seeds and plants of such
species as they thought might be in
troduced into the United States with
advantage. Altogether 450 different
purchases have been sent in to the
Agricultural Department, and -experiments
are already well advanced with
some of them. Among those from
which great results are expected are
the Alexandrian clover from Egypt,
which is intended as a late fodder crop
for irrigated lands in California and
Arizona; the seedless grape from
Padua, Italy, Intended for the seedless
raisin industry of the Colorado desert
region; Egyptian cotton, which is now
being tested by over 100 experimenters
in the South; and a series of East In
dian yams, one of which is said to be
far superior to the potato in flavor.
Where H s Test Failed.
Sir William Harcourt has pleaded
guilty to absent-mindedness and tells
a story against himself. He suspected
a man servant of stealing money and
at last resolved to set a trap. Taking
a handful of gold coins, he laid them
down on his writing desk and went out
Presently he sent this servant to the
room to fetch some article. When
John had returned he promptly went
to his room to see if the coins had been
touched. On the table. In the place
where he had left them, were gold
coins. But were there as many as he
had left? He did not know, for he had
neglected to count them before he had
laid them down. "By this incident
you see," said Sir William, in telling
the story, "that I was born to be
chancellor of the exchequer."
Some people are enthusiastic in ac
cepting invitations, because they figure
that they will save that much by eat
lug away from home.

from the Prett, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Of the many remarkable cases
which have recently occupied the at
tention of the medical world and of
the public at large, none more strik
:ngly illustrates the wonderful power
3t Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People than the recovery of Mrs.
Jennie Tuttle, who, after two years'
confinement to her bed, was restored
to perfect health and strength. Mrs.
Tuttle, who lives at the corner of Ful
ton and Market streets, Grand Rapids,
Mich., tells the following story:
"I had been flat on my back in bed
for two years and the doctors had
given me up as a hopeless case. They
had resorted to every remedy known
to the profession and had even sub
jected me to the tortures of five sur
gical operations. My trouble was duo
to change of life and I grew weaker
and weaker until I became helpless
and unable to leave my bed. A nurse
and four physicians attended me.
"One box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People gave me great
relief and after using them for three
months I was a well woman, having
been able to leave my bed the sixth
week after commencing the treat
ment. I can state that the cure was
complete and permanent as it is now
three years since I used them.
"I have recommended the pills to
several of my relatives. My mother-in-law-
who is 72 years old, took them for
general debility, and they soon pro
duced a very marked improvement in
her condition. I wish that the
thousands of women who are afflicted
as I have been may know of this rem
edy which has saved my life and
given me health and strength."
