Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
'with local applications, as they
cannot reach 1he seat of the dis-

greatly influenced by constitu-

cure it you must take an internal
remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally and acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of
the system. Hall's Catarrh Cure
was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for
years. It is composed of some of
the best tonics known, combined
with some of the best blood puri-

Secretary Daniels advocates an
international agreement to end
competitive and costly naval con-

the great navy-building countries

“Our people are now interested
in the Navy as they never were
before,’’ continues the Secretary.
“They are more familiar with our
shortcomings and good points than
they have ever been. I beg them
to keep this personal interest in
the service, to query as to what we
