Reward of Merit.
A New Catarrh Cuio Secures National
Popularity in Less than Ono Year.
Throughout a great nation of eighty
millions It Is a desperate struggle to
secure even n recognition for a new ar
ticle to pay nothing of achieving popu
lar favor, and yot within one year
fK
Ktunil's Catarrh Tablets, the new ca
tarrh cure, hns mot with such success
that today It can bo found In every
drug store throughout tho United
States and Canada.
To bo sure a large amount of adver
tising wns uccesnry in the Hist instance
to bring the remedy to tho attention
of the public, but everyone familiar
with the subject knows that advertis
ing alone never made any article
permanently successful. It must have
in addition absolute, undeniable merit,
and this the new catatrh cure certain
ly possesses In a marked degree.
Physicians, who formerly depended
upon Inhalers, sprays and local washes
or ointments, now use Stuart's Catarrh
Tabids because, as one of the most
prominent stated, these tablets contain
In pleasant, convenient form nil the
really elllclent catarrh remedies, such
as red gum, blood root and similar an
tiseptics. They eonlaln no cocaine nor opiate,
and are given to children with entire
safely and benefit.
Dr. J. .1. Keltlger, or Covington, Ky..
says: "I suffered from catarrh in my
head nnd throat every fall, with stop
page of tho nose and irritation In the
throat affecting my voice and often
extending to the stomach, causing cn
tnrrh of the stomach. I bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at my druggist's, carried them In
my pocket and used them faithfully,
and the way In which they cleared my
head and throat was certainly remark
able. I had no catarrh Inst winter nnd
spring nnd consider myself entirely
free from any catarrhal trouble."
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W.
V.i., writes: "I suffered from catarrh
neaily my whole life nnd lnsL winter
my two children also suffered from ca
tarrhal colds and sore throat so much
they wero out of school a large portion
fir the winter. My brother who was
cured of catarrhal deafness by using
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged me to
try them so much that. T did so and am
truly thankful for what they have done
for myself and my children, r always
keep a box of the tablets In the house
and at the tirst appearance of a cold
or sore throat we nip it In the bud and
catarrh is no longer a household afflic
tion with us. '
Full sized packages of, Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets Mrrsdld for 'fifty cents at
all druggist.

INSISTS ON
METER RATE
LAWSUIT PROVOKED BY BILL
FOR WATER
According to Councilman Rush, the
Scranton Gas and Water Company
Repudiates tho Meter It Put in the
Rush Hotel Property and Demands
Payment According to the Old
Yearly Rate Motor Cut Down tho
Water Expense from S62 to S3.72
a Year Injunction Will Be Asked.
Common Councilman William Hindi
will go Into court this morning pray
ing for nn oidcr to compel the Scran
ton Gas and Water company to desist
fiom shutting off the water supply to
the propertlci of his mother, Mrs.
Catherine Hush, situate at 111 nnd 113
South Seventh street tuul 2oS Itnllro.ul
nvniiuc.
Two years ago, ngnlnst the protest
of Mr. Hush, tho company attached n
meter to the Seventh street property,
then occupied by the Rush hotel, on
the Kround floor nnil ns tho residence
of three families on the second tloor.
Previous to the installation or the
meter the rate for the property was
$62. The ilrsl month the meter was
in It registered only $t.3'i worth of
water. Ench succeeding quarter tho
registration was lessened until the
period of the last statement, wh.si ft
was down to $2.17 for seven month'!.
Mr. Hush, acting ns manager of tho
property, went to tho company's ulllco
nnd preferred payment at tho meter
rate. The company refused to nccopt
his money, demanding, s-o he alleges,
payment pro rata at tho yearly rate.
Mr. Rush absolutely refused to pay for
anything more than what tho meter
had him charged with and left tho of
fec to return with witnesses, who might
latet bear testimony that he tendered
payment, according to the company':1,
bill. Twice In the presence of wit
nesses the tender was refused, and on
a later occasion the company Is also
alleged to have refused payment o' tho
bill for water ni the Hush residence,
until settlement was made for Ihe
Seventh street property at the yearly
rate.
About a week ago the company
threatened to shut off the water from
both properties if the bills were not
paid forthwith. The notice went un
heeded. Yesterday afternoon tho com
pany shut off tho water from bol'i
properties.
Mr. Rush will Institute cctulty pro
