Quick Relief
From Catarrh
Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry,
retired, who piloted the United States
fleet around the world in 1908-09,
died in the naval medical school hos
pital of pneumonia. Admiral Sperry
arrived in Washington last Friday
Jrom his home in Newpojrt, R. I.,tor

incident to his representation of the
United States at the conference of
the naval powers of the world, held
in London in the early part of 1909.
He was taken ill shortly after his
arrival.
Senator Borah of Idaho, with the
aid of democrats and progressive re
publicans succeeded in making the
resolution providing for tho election

business" thus placing it in a most
advantageous position.
A- Simple, -Saf ef Reliable Way, and it
t Costs Notliing to Try
Those ' who. suffer from catarrh
know its miseries. There, is no need
of this suffering. You can get rid of
it by a simple, safe, inexpensive,
home treatment discovered by Dr.
Blosser, who, for over thirty-six
years, has been treating catarrh suc
cessfully. His treatment is unlike any other.
It is not a epray, douche, salve,
cream, or inhaler, but is a more di
rect and thorough treatment than
any of these. It cleans out the head,
nose, throat and lungs so that you
can again breathe freely and sleep
without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. It heals
the diseased mucous membranes and
arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing
your nose and spitting, and at the
flame time it does not poison the sys
tem and ruin the stomach, as inter
nal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to
Dr. J. W. Blosser, 144 Walton
Street, Atlanta, Ga., and he will send
you by return mail enough of the
medicine to satisfy you that it is all
he claims for it as a remedy for ca
tarrh, catarrhal headaches, catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds
and all catarrhal complications. He
will also send you free an illustrated
booklet. Write him Immediately. -
Senator Davis of Arkansas at
tacked Senator Depew and Theodore
Roosevelt in a' speech delivered in
the senate. He also urged the sen
ate to get rid of Lorjmer.
- A v Washington- correspondent -to
the Associated Press says: "Anoth
er radical step to prevent the con
centration of powSr in a few hands
In the houser of representatives was
taken by the newly designated dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee for tho next con
gress. It was determined that in tbe
makeup of the new committees of
the house the chairmen of all the
committees that have the power to
prepare appropriation bills and tbe
chairmen of tho judiciary, Interstate
and foreign commerce and District
of Columbia committees shall not be
members of any other committees
than those over which they preside.
This will add eleven to tho number
of members who are to be expressly
limited to service on a single com
mittee. The democratic caucus
which chose the fourteen members
of the ways and means committee
restricted them to service upon that
committee and gave them the power
to select the other committees of the
house. The announcement was given
out by Chairman Underwood as 'the
settled policy of this committee.'
While the committee has not the
power, as had the' democratic caucus
to prohibit a member from serving
on another committee, Chairman Un
derwood made it clear the commit
tee in filling up the other commit
tees will adhere to the rule. The
rule will affect the chairmen of the
following important committees: Ap
propriations, agriculture, foreign af-
Champ Clark and other democrats
are opposed to reducing the number
of representatives. An Associated
Press dispatch says: "Mr. Cruin
packer of Indiana, chairman of the
census committee which had the
whole matter in charge, said he
hoped tho house may take up' the
question early next week. The
Campbell plan is based on a ratio of
234,622 population to each repre
sentative. Tho following states would
have their representation reduced
under tho 391 plan: Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Neb-
braska, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Wis
consin and Maine, one each; and
Missouri, two. On the other hand,
California, New York, Oklahoma and
Washington would gain two each,
