Peihaps the most general cause of headache and pain across the eyes is nasal catarrh. The simplest cure is to inhale the medicated vapor of Ca-hozone which traverses every air cell and air passage of the throat, lungs and nose. Catarrhozone is just a splendid renedy for headache, aud action is certain and unfailing in diseases of the throat and lungs, deafness, bronchitis, asthma and catarrh. A trial will convince the most sceptical that Catarrhozone is all right. Large size, $1.00; trial size 25c. Druggists, or Poison & Co., Kingston, Ont. NORHAM AND VICINITY. Mr. J. F.

TWO PAPERS FOR ONE DOLLAR. This is the day of things remarkable, and it is never safe to prophesy as to where the limits of commercial and business enterprise may lie. A few years ago when weekly papers were reduced in subscription price t<< one dollar per year, many people thought that cheapness while com bined with excellence could no further go. But a more remarkable thing is now about to happen. On October 1st The Enterprise will make an offer to its subscribers the like of which has never vet been made by any Canadian paper. As a result of negotiations with the publishers of The Montreal Weekly Herald, and at considerable financial loss, an arrangement has been arrived at whereby it will be possible, for the coming year, to offer the two papers at the extraordinarily low price of One Dollar. When it is remembered tbat the regular subscription price of each paper is one dollar per year, it will be easy to appreciate the sacrifices which have had to be made by each publisher in order to make a joint rate of only one dollar. The price of the two papers will be simply cut in two. As a re suit, we expect to largely mcreas the circulation of the Enterprise and it is this expectation that has led us to make this unprecedented offer. As will r-eadily be understood, the offer is open only to those subscribers paying in advance. We have made exclusive arrangements with tlie publishers of the Herald, and no similar offer can be made by any other journal in this district. Fuller particulars will be given in subsequent It's Inventory Time! Time for brokenffrices. The man who regulates the prices has marched through our store and left un= mistakeable signs of his visit. Wherever a broken lot or uncomplete assortment was found in our clothing stock, down went the price. We have not marked them up and then marked them down, simply cut the regular prices to cost and in a great many cases less than cost price. Now then come and see for yourselves. Let the goods and prices do the talking. This is what consti= tutes a fair, square, reduced sale and this is our way of doing it.
