The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, "a thousands can testify.
Proper local treatment lie positively neoes-
sary to success, but many, If not most, of
the remedies In general use afford but
temporary relief. A cure certainly cannot
be expected from snuffs, powders, douchss
and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which is
so highly commended, is remedy which
combines the important requisites of quick
action, specific curative power, with per.

Attorney Denis. Judge Ross yesterday in

against Fl. w. Clune, A. I. Johnson,
Isaac Ross and Phillip Stanwood for
violations of the interstate commerce
act; also indictments against Frank
Mendes, Justus Allgern and Alexander
Smith for smuggling.
All these people have heretofore been
found guilty by juries in the district

A WOMAN'S OPINION.

EDITOR HERALp:-I have read with
interest the articles in THE HERALD de~

marveled much that it has continued
from day to day and from week to week.
and yet not a single article has appeared
from the pen of q woman. One Of your
contributors. whose article came nearer
10 solving the problem according to my
way OF viewing it than the majority of
hem, said that the women could do
much to aid the work of reforming the
genus tramp. So. while l do not con-
bider myself capable OF handling q SUBJ

might aid by simply touching the but.

voters' going. and If nothing practicable
is solved the men will get fresh i'm

is settled.
Your correspondent above referred to

Only, that as the tramp IL universal
pest, infesting tho whole United States
from Maine to California, so the rem.
edy, II one there be, must be one that
will be put in practice throughout the
entire country. 1t can not be done by
establishing farm in . few communi-
ties, any more than it can be remedied
by the Associated Charities or by pri-
vate charity. for while it might rid the
one or two communities, it would only be
the means OF turning the majority OF
the worst element-th6 ones who do
not want to work--into other commu-
mites.
1t must at least be state institution,
and as the tramp is conceded by all to
be the result OF bad legislation, let the
government furnish the money to start
the homo or farm until such time az it
becomes self-supporting.
Aid, OF course, from individuals or
societies would be acceptable, donations
OF clothing as we'll as money. The state
reform school at Whittier might serve
as a good model to build on, and once
started, new ways and means wosld
suggest themselves as the work pro.
gressed.
The institution would in q short time
be self-supporting, and let the profits
be divided among the inmates in pro-
portion as they are deserving. and held
in trust by the management until they
accumulate to Q sum sufficient to pur-
chase five acres OF land, and the same
be purchased for them, and they would
then be free to make a home OF their
own. Let us hope the solution of the
problem is near at hand. and that it
will be one that we as Christian land
will be proud of. READER.

SOMEWHAT SWEEPING.

EDITOR HERALD :-"Who can solve the
tramp question ?" seems to be the most
important question of the day. Truly,
the tramp is abroad in the land. What
can We, what shall we do with them? It
looks ss If they are here to stay, and the
sooner something is done the better.
What shall it be-? 1t seems to mo
that the movement now being made to
start cooperative society for the pur-
pose of giving work to our unemployed
to grow vegetables and produce. to be
sold to our own citizens, would help the
unemployed, keep our money at home
and continually in circulation among
ourselves in place OF giving 1t all away

fowery kingdom.
Think everybody that could should
encourage this enterprise, and nearly
everybody can that will. Let the ex-
pertinent be tried. We have tried and
are trying the old way Of arresting
them. putting them in Jail. in the chain
gang, and the taxpayers foot all the
bills. Suppose we try new plan. The
money that ia paid out for arresting
them. trying them, putting them in
Jail, feeding them, having officers watch
them. ETC., would go q long ways
towards giving them work at gardening.
Add to this all the money now given
outright as q charity fund, for which
there Ia no return. When the tramp
has served out his time in Jail or in the
chaingang. he is no better off. still a
tramp, more ragged, humilated and in
worse condition than when fret
arrested. The old way don't solve the
problem. Why not try plan to put
men to work? In three or four months
the products would help to feed them
and all surplus sold for cash to make the
business self sustaining.
