If you have catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, deafness, roaring noises in the ears or catarrh of the" stomach, call on Dr. Morse and take a free trial treatment, as hundreds have done here in Little Eock. Five minutes will convince the most skeptical that my treatment is the most rational, scientific, "up-to-date treatment for the above trouble ever offered to the public.

Catarrh cannot be cured withv internal remedies alone. Whyf Because catarrh is both local and constitutional, therefore thirty years of experience has convinced me that you cannot soften and dissolve the hard secretions that accumulates in the head, or bronchial tubes by turning the medicine into the stomach, which does not and cannot reach the seat of the trouble. It requires both local and constitutional treatment combined in order to cure, these troubles. My vaporizing inhaler should, be used three times a day and the constitutional treatment twice a day in order to efect a cure. Dr.S.A.Morse'sofiice 209 1-2 W.

LLOYDS EXPECT PEACE BEFORE CLOSE OF YEAR London, March 18. Inquiries are being received at Lloyds for insurance to pay total loss in case of peace being declared during the present year. The inquirers are large firms who hold war contracts and who have to give orders for material sometime ahead and at war prices. As a result premiums are- inclined to show an- upward tendency.

One underwriter said that for an in surance to pay total loss in the event of peace being l'lared by the end of June, he would quote a rate of twenty guineas per cent, while for a similar policy extending to the end of the year the rate would be seventy per cent. Some brokers quoted as high as 90 per cent for a policy insuring against the war ending by the end of December. These rates are intended to be prohibitive and no transactions were effected. The rates also are, an indication that the underwriters believe that the war will not continue beyond the end of the present year. Their optimism is based on the failure of the Germans to pierce the French lines at Verdun, rumors that Germany is putting out feelers in the direction of peace and that Turkey' has made proposals for a seperate peace.
