Habitual smokers, says the BRITISH
Medical Journal, are VIGOROUSLY liable
to colds in the head, and to bronchitis,
and other cOngestive affections of the
air passage. On this subject, Doctor
j. f. Rumbold says, Hygiene Of
Cdta1rh): 1.-The congestion occasioned
by the action of tobacco on the mucous
membrane of the superior portion of
the respiratory tract resembles in many
respects the congestion resulting from
the effects of cold, and, like the
effects Of a cold, some of its effects are
transitory and some are permanent.
The effect Of toba GO on 1bt mucous
membrane of the nose, throat and
ears is as predisposlng to catahrral dis
ease as is inefficient and insufficient
clothing in the case of females. The
local effect of tobacco on the mucous
membrane of the superior portion of
the respiratory tract causes q more
permanent relaxation and congestion
than any know agent. As tobacco
depresses the system while it is prOduc-
ing its pleasurable sensation, and as it
prepares the mucous membrane (by
causing a more permanent relaxation
than any know agent to take on cat
arrhal inflammation from even slight
exposure to cold, it should require no
further evidence to show that its use
ought to be discontinued by every
catahrral patient. The only question
remaining to be answered is, shall its
use be discontinued at once, or shall
the victim taper off in his endeayor to
become master ofhimself?' The writer
acknowledges but one successful me-
thod, viz, its discontinuance at once.

An Elk Consul Dies I'm Poverty.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
James Madison Tarleton, consul
general to Melbourne, Australia, during
two presidential administrations, and
collector of the port of Mobile under
Presidents Johnson and Grant, died in
this city last night from want and eX-
posture. He had a most varied and sin
gular career. Born in New Hampshire
in 1908, his youth was spent in Con
cord, where he attended the best schools
of the city. Attaining to manhood he
embarked in business as a cotton mer-
chant in Mobile, Ala, in 1887 Here
he accumulated large fortune, but
misfort ne overtaking him, he was, on
his own application, adjudged a bank
rupt in February, 1912. His property
was sold to pay his liabilities, and from
his papers it appears that his creditors
lost but little by his failure. In 1850
he was appointed assistant postmaster
at Concord, n. H., by Gen. Lowe, post
master. Here he remained for some
years. 1t was at this time in his life
that friendships formed in youth ri
pened into the warmest ties. With
President Pierce, Governor Baker, and
the foremost politicians of the state, he
was on terms of the closest intimacy.
When Mr.. Pierce became president in
1852, he appointed his old friend con-
sui to Melbourne, Australia. This po-
sition he retained for the greater part
of Buchanan's administration, also.
Returning to this country, he again
took up his abode in the south. Atthe
breaking out of the war, though still a
democrat, he was opposed to secession.
In 1862 he came north, and henceforth
was a pronounced republican. He did
not, however, forget his friend, and
while bitterly denOuncing democrats in
general, would never say one word
against Pierce. Under President John
son he was appointed to the collector
ship of Mobile, and was only removed
in the subsequent administration of
President Grant. Since that time his
life has been one of knocks and cuffs
Some four years ago he found shelter
through the kindness of Mr.. Y. p
Burke, over the latter's store. A small
room, comfortably furnished, was
placed at his disposal. and during al
that time, while feeding and clothing
him, Mr.. Burke has received no remu-
neration. Mr.. Burke speaks in the
highest terms of Mr.. Tarleton's hon
esty any sobriety. He never, even in
the depth of his poverty forgot the dig
nifty Of his character, and was as indie
pendent as though he was worth mill
ions. He Stunned old friends, seem
ingly ashamed to acquaint them with
his changed condition. Mr.. Tarletor
married Miss Fisk, of Concord, n. H.
daughter of Francis NJ. Fisk, 8
wealthy merchant of that place. The
brother of Mr.. Tarleton married sis
ter Of the late Senator Goldthwaite, o
Alabama. The Independent character
and naughty pride of Mr.. Tarleton
that forbade him making known hi'
condition while he suffered in silence
doubtless fastened his death

A Chance for Health

Is afforded those fast sinking into condition Of
hopeless debility. The means are at hand. In
the form of genial medicinal cordial, Hostetters
Stomach Btters embodies the combined qualities
of blood fertilizer and depurent, tonic and an
alternative. While it promotes digestion and as
sanitation. and stimulates appetite, has the further
effect of purifying the life current and strength
ening the nervous system. As the blood grows
richer and purer by its use, they who resort to
this sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only
vigor but bodily substance. A healthful change
in the secretions is effected by it, and that sure
and rapid physical decay which a chronic obstruc-
ton Of the functions Of the system produce is
arrested. The prime causes Of disease being re-
moved, health is speedily renovated and vigor
restored.
