THAT whitecapism should have
grown to its present proportion and
become so rooted in society as to be
part of its life is due to the besot-
tedness of the whole people Of ln-
diana and their representatives in
the lawmaking and executive body.
With true State pride, with a true
spirit of intelligence, the people OF
Indiana would long ago have made
laws or would so have executed those
that are made that whitecaplsm
should have been stamped out.

THE words breeches, trousers, and
pantaloons, are now used inter
changeably, but originally the signi-
flcations were quite different. Pan
falcons were at first nothing but long
stockings, worn in Italy as sort Of
religious habit by the deyotees OF
St. Pantaloon. Breeches originally
reached from the waist half way to
the knee, and finally to the knee,
where they were fastened with a
buckle. Trousers are the present
style of leg gear, combination of the
former two.

The Canadian Government has
decided not to sell for the present
the islands that it owns in famous
Thousand Island group on the st.
Lawrence, and one o. the main
reasons leading to this decision is
said to be it's fear that Americans
would be the purchasers 1npecuni-
osity may, however, finally over
come this objection. Money is money,
even if it comes from American
pockets, and money is what Canada
needs. If the wOuld-be owners
among our countrvmen of these st.
Lawrence paradises will only bide
their time, they will probably achieve
their desire. In the meanwhile let
them turn to fair Lake Winnie
pesaukee in New Hampshire, where
they can find numerous islands to
their liking at a moderate price, and,
at the same time. enjoy the patriotic
satisfaction of the thought that they
can take their summer ease beneath

THE "taith curists" continue to
announce their miracles" and to
make converts in all classes of society.
But it is to be remarked the victims
Of the ''faith without works" upon
which they insist, are nearly always
from the lowest and most unlettered
class. Ought not these poor and
honest persons to be protected against
the mistaken enthusiasts who lead
them astray?

There Is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t q local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure
pronounced 1t incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutiopal disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.

by +. j. Uheney&C CO., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t Is taken internally
