A Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are var.
ious, and statistics. show conclusively tina,
more persons die from diseases of the
Throat and Lungs than any other. 1t is
probable that everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life and
develop, at first slowly and is shown by a
slight tickling sensation in the throat and
if allowed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lungs producing Consumption
and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now II
this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed
will in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with promptness; allowing a
cold to 60 without attention is dangerous
and may lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bottle
of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will give
youi immediate relief.

government has an interest in is national.
And these plain sort of folks think and
say, too-for they generally say what they
think-that the government should at once
withdraw from the partnership, and that
these temperance society people and temper
ance order people who assemble weekly and
monthly to devise means to stop tho liquor
traffic, and are afraid TO vote against it are
losing ground, as statistics of the increase OF
the traffic, the increase Of intemperance and
the increase of liquor manufacturing prove.
If the United States government has a
right TO tax every still and brewery in any
of the States and break up the stills, con-
fscate the property and imprison the own
ers If they refuse to pay the revenue taxes,
the government retains the right to break
up the business and impiison the parties
who attempt to pursue it, ifthe govern
ment's share of the profits is refused and the
business declared illegal. The power to
tax does not confer the power to destroy
and punish, but the power to destroy and
punish alone insures the power to tax.

Mighty Mean Business.

It's mighty mean business to have Stree
whiskey," and a mighty mean business for
the United States government to 60 into a
partnership with the brewery and distillery
men and charge them four times as much
for the privilege Of manufacturing whiskey
md beer mot quite so much for beer) as the
manufactur ed article costs.
And it's mighty mean business for the
U. S. government to charge every dealer in
these heavily taxed articles an additional
license tax.
It's mighty mean business to have two
>aloons under the halls of Congress keeping
large per cent of the members booty most
of their time.
How shall Uncle Sam cut loose from this
mighty mean business?" Ifhe is the larg.
est shareholder in this mean business, and
participant in the profits he can as readily
forbid and stop it as he can sanction and
permit it, by declaring enphatically that he
will receive no more of the profits of the
trade and declare it illegal to manufacture,
sell, import OF export any of these goods on
premises he has jurisdiction over. But some
temperance society (?) folks say that the
liquor business is not national. On the
other hand some other folks who are not
specially temperance society or temperance
o:cer folks say whatever the United States
