After four years of almost continuous fighting, the ~Federal Salt Company, otherwise the salt trust, has won practi- cal possession and control of the vaiuabie salt marshes owned by Mrs. Mary Pete mann of Mount Eden. Moves which were made a short time ago place the salt trust in the position of control after a seesaw contest which was made by Willlam J. Dingee and others to fight the trust control of the salt output. The Mount Eden marshes were the key to the situation because of the large quan- tity of the saline product that is handled thers. That industry 13 one of the most important in Alameda County. The contest for possession runs back to 1868, when the salt trust began to secur the salt marshes of the country.

The President is understood to have made his position quite clear, and in so doing is_ said to have removed several misapprehensions, which have been afloat of late, He expressed the most earnest solicitude that a satisfactory adjustment be reached by Congress. Furthermore, the President, it is asserted, indicated no positive determination in favor of any particular idea, but rather a desire that cording to its best lights. After hearing from Tawney his associates expressed the rebate proposition if Congress sent it to him. They also were considerably en- couraged to hear from Tawney that the | President was not laying down any em- phatic ultimatum in favor of the plan presented by Payne. Postmaster General Payne said to-night that the conferenee at the White House was perfectly harmonious and agreeable. He said' it was brought about by the re- port that the President would to-day send a message to Congress expressing his views on the subject.

One Very Common Cause, Generally Overlooked. | Headache i a symptom, an indication of de- rangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache Is difficult to locate be- | cause so many diseases have headache as a symptom; derangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney dis- ease, lung trouble, eye strain or Illl-fitting giasses all produce headaches, and it we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache is located {n back of head and neck it Is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver. At any rate catarrh is the most common | cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches. | There is at present no treatment for catarrh 81 canvenlent and effective as Stuart's Catarch Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablgs form, | composed of antiseptics like eucalyptol. guai- acol and blood root, which act upon the blood | and cause the elimination of the catarrhal pois | son from the system through the natural chame | nels, AR | Miss Cora Alnsley, & prominent school teacher In one of our normal schools, speaks of her experfence with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: “1 suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to inca- pacitate me In my dally duties. I had suffered from catarrh, more or iess, for years, but never thought it the cause of my headaches, but finally became convinced that such was the case, because the headaches were always worse Whenever 1 had & cold or tresh attack of ca- o uart’s Catarrh Tablets were highiy rec: ommended to me as a safc and pleasant catarrh Cure, and after using a few ffty-cent which 1 procured from my druggist, I wi prised and delighted to find that both the ca- tarrh and headaches had gone for good.™ Stuart’s_Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug- gists_at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found In so many catarrh cures), no opium (so common in cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug. @hey contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary tn destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.
