Catarrh Can’t be Cured with Local Applications, as they can- not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you have to take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh cure is taken internally. and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is no quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this coun- try for years, and is a regular prescrip- tion. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers,acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

Use it in every receipt calling for baking powder, or for cream of tartar and soda, and the lightest, purest, most wholesome and appetizing food is assured. MARION HARLAND : “ I regard the Royal Baki Powder as the best in the mar et. Since its introduction into my kitchen I have used no other.” Miss MARIA PARLOA: “It seems to me that Royal Baking Powder is as good as any can be. I have used it a great deal, and always with great satisfaction.” Mus. BAKER, Principal of r Washington, D.

Mr. Stires Can't Go That Way. He Wants to \Valk. FORT DODGE, 121., Sept. 25.——“If I can’t trét down the homestretch to glory at a two-thirty clip I want'to walk.” So said the Rev. P. C. Stlres, pastor of the Me- thodist Episcopal church of Cherokee, be fore the annual Northwest Methodist Episcopal conference in this city. The Rev. Mr. Stires was accused of conduct unbecoming a minister, in owning and speeding fast horses. In answer to a charge of racing, the accused preacher brought a satchel full of afiiduvits to prove that he had never taken part in a speed contest, nor permitted his horses to go on the track. As to owning fast horses, Mr. Stires pleaded guilty and glorled in it. He asserted that he was not in a proper condition to serve the Lord in the most effective way unless he owned the fastest horse in town. Notwithstanding the preacher’s eloquent plea for his horses, the committee appoint ed toinvestigate the case decided not to locate Mr. Stires, which is practically sus- pending him from the conference. The disciplined preacher owns some of the finest horses in the. state. The report of his charge at Cherokee made the best showing of successful work of any in the district last year.
