PERHAPS no local disease has puzzled
and baflled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most distress
ing, nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is heir to, and the records show very few
or no cases of radical cure of chronic ca
tarrh by any of the multitude of modes
of treatment until the introduction OF
Ely's Cream Balm few years.ago. The
success of this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising. I-2t

IF Congress would put tax of not less
than twenty dollars upon every revolver
manufactured it would do wise thing.
Well-meaning people can get along with
out them, and with the other class they
should be made a very expensive luxury.
Had it not been for the facility and ease
with which any one can obtain the dead
ly revolver, the poor soul who suicided
last Wednesday would to-day be alive
and well. Nine times out of ten, wilful
shooting is the result of having conve-
nient weapon when angered or in the
mood; and yet it is astonishing how many
men and boys apparently court such des-
tiny. Away with theml No one but an
arrant coward will carry one about his
person, nor is there any sense in people
having them about their premises. Tax
the internal things out of reach, and, if
need be, the Legislature should enact a
law requiring permit from court fol
each sale made.

Bel1nut1t Chronicle.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1889.

IT is hoped broad and liberal ideas will
prevail in the discussion of road making
at the coming session of the Farmers
Institute. 1t would not be good policy
to undertake pike building on an exten-
sive scale, with the incidents of bonds
and the like, indeed there is no occasion
for it; but it is believed that very little
more money than is now raised for road
purposes, carefully and wisely expended,
would produce surprising results in the
way of permanent improvements.
What is needed in this controversy is
all the light that is obtainable, fairly pre-
sented, without exaggeration or rhetoric,
with the view of gaining point. Men
who advocate better system of road
making do not desire to put additional
burdens upon themselves and other tax
payers unless reasonably certain that
good results will follow. They are not
satisfied with the results produced by
our present road laws. They believe,
with the Governor of Pennsylvania, that
they get less benefit from road levies than
from any other money paid the tax col
lector.
The road working machines introduced
in recent years in some of the townships
of this county are a great improvement
over the old methods. One of them will
do more work than a score of men, and
do it better But a limestone bed is a
necessity upon the more important roads;
and it is believed that can be obtained,
if gone about in the right manner, in
very few years, without burdening the
people with taxation. Even though it is
thought desirable and necessary to in
crease the road levy, there are Others that
can be reduced, and ought to be reduced
some of them largely-so that the ag
gregate of taxation need be no greater
in any township than now.

THE sessions of the Farmers Institute,
next week, should attract attention, and
appreciative audiences. Progressive and
enterprising farmers are interested in the
topics to be discussed at the day sessions,
and they will, no doubt, be greatly profit
ed by attendance on them. The night
sessions are intended to amuSe and en-
tertain the general public, and it is be-
lieved the entertainments provided for
will be found unusually good.
The charging of small admission fee
is new departure. Heretofore The ex-
penses incurred about $100) have been
raised by soliciting contributions, and in
that way few who enjoyed its ses sions
have borne all the expense. The plan
adopted for this Institute is more equit-
able, avoids the soliciting of money, and
it is believed will be more satisfactory in
every way. Future Institutes depend
wholly upon the successful working of
this plan. All persons interested should
realize that fact, and act accordingly.
