Permanent Cures During tho Past Year
Than All Other Catarrh Doctors Com
bined-SkilI and Superior Methods of

It is over three years since the Catarrh
and Dyspepsia Institute. 1928 Penn avenue,
was established. Its physicians, who are
graduates, are permanently located at this
institution, and have had years of expert
ence in treating the diseases Of their
speciality. They have unquestionably made
more permanent cures of catarrh in Pitts
burg during the past year than all other
catarrh doctors combined. 1t is sometimes
an easy matter with a few local treatments
or snuff medicines to give relief for short
have permanently cured catarrah,
and never will. To effect q per-
manent cure-one that is lasting
requires not only skill on the part of the
physician, and superior methods of treat
ment but years of practical experience.
Such is the reputation of the physicians of
the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute for
making permanent cures that their prac-
tice has extended into almost every State
in the Union.
Their skillful methods Of treatment, f1del-
fly to their work, frank; open opinions ex-
pressed to their patients. and unequaled
success in making cures, has been testified
to in the Pittsburg papers by hundreds of
well-known citizens. Their rates and
prices for treatment are always reasonable
and that all can afford.

The remote possibility of an armed con-
fiict also suggests inquiry as to the relative
offensive and defensive powers, principally
naval, of the nations now at odds.
The Immediate actors in the diplomatic
drama up to date are the Hon. James G.
Blaine, the American secretary of state,
and Baron Fava, until recently the Italian
minister at Washington. The correspond
ence between these two, which was broken
off by the baron's abandonment of his
post under orders from the home govern
ment, practically embraced but two propo-
sitions-the right of Italy to demand and
obtain punishment of the lynchers, and to
secure indemnity for the families of the
victims. Mr.. Blaine clearly displayed the
reasons why he could give no guarantees
or force the course of justice, as admins
tered by state of the Union, out of the
ordinary channels prescribed by the ma
tlonal constitution and by the statutes of
the commonwealth directly affected.
That his elaborate explanation, which
was accompanied by expressions of regret
and sympathy, should have been followed
by sundering of diplomatic relations be-
tween two hitherto friendly powers is a
source of world wide comment and uneasi-
ness. Baron Fava has been for ten years
the Italian envoy at Washington, and that
he thoroughly understood the ramifica-
lions of American law and politics is shown
by the fact that he delayed for over a week
to announce his recall, and meanwhile
urged his superiors at Rome to rescind
their decision. They refused to do so, and
as consequence the future is one of I'M
certainty.
AS before suggested, war is among the
remotest of possibilities. If it should
break out, however, there are on both
sides advantages and disadvantages which
nearly balance each other. Italy's chief
superiority lies in the fact that she has the
better navy. 1t includes nearly 200 vessels
of all descriptions and ready for active ser
vice. Seven of these are huge armored
battle ships, so built as to secure great de-
velopment of speed and gun power They
have displacement of between LOCO and
1900 tons, and tested speed of from if
teen to eighteen knots per hour. Their

ing four to each vessel. arc of the average
weight of 100 tons, and have range of six
miles.
Most formidable in the feet is the Italia,
which is considered the best war ship afloat
and which was built at a cost of So, 900. OO0
Her coal capacity is $50 tons, an amount
sufficient for two weeks voyage. As her

order among the dialecticians of the day.
Mr. Adams traces his lineage back as far
as Samuel Adams, one of the most promi-
nent patriots of the Revolution, and is the
youngest of three children.
He was born in Dorchester, Mass, April
q, 1912, and after receiving a common
school education and entering upon bust
ness career in Boston he was suddenly
called to the war. He took part in the bat
ties of Bull Run, fredericksburg, Chan
cellorsville and others, and was wounded
at Gettysburg, and after his recovery he
was detailed as wardmaster in the Conva-
lescent Hospital at Washington, where
he remained until 1864, when he returned
home and established the business which
has since occupied him. In 1870 appeared
has first effort in rhyme, 'and the first of
his dialect verses in 1872. 1t was called
THE Puzzled Dutchman," and appeared
in Our Young Folks" In 1876 his ''Leedle
Yacob Strauss" appeared in the Detroit
Free Press, and this has always been the
most popular and famous of his poems.
Mr.. Adams has published two volumes of
his poems. Next to "Leedle Yacob' he
considers "Der Oak und der Vine" and
Der Water Nip his best efforts.

board which she would be able to enter.
The Italian fleet is manned by $4,000 ma
rines and officers, and there is a naval re-
serve force of 14,000 men. On the other
hand, the United States navy comprises in
actuality, not in possibility, twenty-siy
fighting vessels of all classes and 2.OO0
men.
The diSproportion between the resources
of the two countries thus appears great:
but there are compensations to be taken
into consideration which minimize the ap-
parent disparity. In the first place, dec
1aration of war issued by Italy would
place that country in the position of ag-
gressor, The kingdom is deeply in debt,
and is considered by some financial ex-
perts to be bankrupt, as a result of the
vast expenses incurred in keeping up the
triple alliance. Supposing that money
or credit could be found to equip the fleet
for swoop on the American seaboard, the
vessels could carry but little more fuel
than would be required for the trip
through the Mediterranean and across the
Atlantic. As King Humbert has no coal
ing station of Importance off the American
coast some embarrassment might natural
ly follow.
When the attempt was made to enter
New York harbor or steam up the Missis-
sippi to New Orleans, other obstacles might
arise in the way of active opposition, not
perhaps on the part of the White Squadron,
but through the use of some very excellent
torpedoes, or of that tremendous engine of
destruction, Captain Zalinski's dynamite
gun. The captains long and queer look
ing cannon has been satisfactorily tested
of late, and can be relied upon to throw
quarter of ton of the most frightful ex-
plosive known to man distance of three
miles. If one of these giant bombs should
chance TO hit the biggest battle ship that
ever plowed the seas-and as the gun can
be fired once in three minutes the chances
are good-the aforesaid ship would never
again be heard of.
But all this is speculation about posi-
bility. 1t is to be hoped that the two gov
ernments will arrive at an amicable under
standing, and that no cloud of war will
darken the present world wide sky of peace.

The Controversy About Adipose.

Just now fat and thin men are the sub
jects of some controversy. 1t is declared
that the standard of manly beauty is
plumpness, but not superfuous flesh or
noticeable thinness. This leaves the way
open for the lean and the corpulent to join
hands in self defense Caesar and Cassius
were llghtweights, yet they made the earth
tremble in their time. On the other hand,
Pompey the Great measured more about
his waist than he did in stature. Indeed,
the question of pounds cuts a small figure
in mans life. Alexander Stephens was
pigmy and Senator David Davis colos-
sus, yet each of them got there just the
same" so far as good repute and intellect
ual superiority are concerned.

On foot, reached Santa Fe. Later he re.
moved to Fort Smith, Ark, where he pub
lished The Advocate until 1886, when he
began the practice of law. Three years sub
sequently the publication of his Hymns
to the Gods" established his place among
the leading poets of America.
He took part in the Mexican war as COM
mander of the Mounted Arkansas volun-
teers, and at the outbreak of the civil
struggle cast in his fortunes with the south.
He resigned his position as brigadier gen.
eral because of quarrel with General
Hindman, and accepted an appointment
as one of the judges of the supreme court
of Arkansas. For time after the war he
practiced law at Memphis and edited The
Appeal. Then he removed to Washington,
and up to 1880 continued his professional la
bors before the supreme and district courts
Literary work and Masonry kept him busy
during the last decade of his life. He was
grand commander of the Scottish Rite of
the Southern Jurisdiction and chief of the
Royal Order of Scotland in America.
