Two local constables are head over
heels In law suits ns a result of tbolr
evicting the family of Joo Cooper, on
tho West Sldn. It seems one of them
had tho eviction papcis and, fearing
that be had a pretty big Job on hand,

threatened, but tho minions of the law
heeded not and continued operations
till the Inst vestlgo of Coopot-wiuo
hnd baen deposited nn tho public hlgh
w ay.
And then Mis. Cooper, in post baste,
made for tho oillco of Aldoiman Atkin
son. Scathingly sho derided the nu
daclous offlceiH of the law and in
sisted on the alderman issuing an even
half dozen warrants, four of them Cos
one man, whom she charged with tak
ing V0, which she nlleged disappeared
In the fracas, with assault and bat
tery und with breaking In ths door.
She also entered n suit for damages,
claiming she and her lamlly had suf
fered In health and wealth, for which
she must bo remuneiated. The cases

but the woman claimed one of her

MOST people think that cdtarrh Is a
dlseass confined to the head and
nose. Nothing Is faithcr fiom
the truth. It may he that the
nose and throat are the oftenest af
fected by cntniih, hut If this Is so It
Is so only because these patts arc
moie exposed to the vicissitudes of the
climate thun tho other parts of the
body.
Everv oigan. everv duet, every cavity
of the human body Is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of nllments depend on
catarrh. This Is tiue winter and sum
mer. Catanh causes many cases of
chronic disease, wh?re the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that ca
tntr has anythlnir to do with It.
