Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucus
membrane the remedy used must be
non irritating. Nothing satisfactory can
be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or astringents, because they are
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be aban-
doned as worse than failures. A multi
tude of persons who had for years borne
all the worry and pain that catarrh can
infict testify to radical and permanent
cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

The Coxey movement is but tn

THE Coxey movement is but the
Capitalization of few representatives
of class in this country large in the
aggregate and individually in a state of
unrest. Every community possesses
same men never in any degree satisfied
with their surroundings and who imagine
that in some other place or in some other
way their condition can, without effort,
be bettered Such men are continually
changing their political or moral fealty,
and stand ever ready to join any new
movement especially if it holds out the
promise of plenty of money and little
work, or as Coxey puts it, "more money
and less misery" Their sublime faith
convinces them that at last they have
discovered panacea for all physical ills,
and they go into it with all their soul
until something else, equally as delusive
and mpracticable, attracts their atten-
tion. They never amount to anything
D6CduS6 III Ddlductu 4NOb pOSSCoSihS a
realization of their weakness they i'm
agine that the fault lies with those above
them; that they are crushed beneath the
heel of oppression. Being poor they
ascribe their troubles to the rich and
rail at society. As whole, the class is
capable of creating considerable trouble,
and what should be done with them is a
problem. They are not capable of
taking care of themselves, but need to
be cared for. Allowed to look out for
themselves they fail to make living
and create trouble. The civil war drew
most of this class into the army, and
there they were absorbed, and, being but
a part of a machine, were placed in the
best position possible for them. No
great movement to attract this class has
recently occurred. We do not mean to
say that Coxey himself belongs to this
class, because in the hustle for private
gain we are given to understand that he
knows how to take care of himself, but
he has drawn about him a class of ne'er-
do wells, attracted by his crazy ideas,
and they will stick to him only until a
new promise is held out to them.

WARNED AwAY-"A man runs across
some peculiar things when looking up
his ancestry" said traveller the other,
day, according to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. "When investigating my
own lineage in New Hampshire | dis
covered that my great great grandfather
was warned by town meeting not to
come into the town. 1 wondered what
he had done to render himself obnoxious,
and when | learned that, notwithstand-
ing the warning, he did move into the
place, | admired his assurance, but
thought him lacking in self-respect
The matter was explained to me by the
secretary of state. 1t was the custom
for anyone intending to remove into
town to give notice of such intention.
At the next regular town meeting he
was warned to stay away, because the
law provided that if this was done the
town would not be liable for his support
in case he became pauper. 1t was not
a matter of disgrace or personal ill-will,
but purely precaution to cover possi-
BILE future financial reverses"

SHUT Your MoUTH.-Don't be Of

Talk as much as you please, but keep
your mouth shut when You are not talk
ing.
People who keep their mouths closed
except when they are talking, eating or
drinking, rarely contract colds or
coughs. Savages, even those living in
northern latitndes, seldom take cold
Scientists say it is because they are close
mouthed
Disease germs floating in the air find
direct route to the lungs of a per-
son who breathes through his mouth.
They are arrested By the fine, sive-like
network of hair in the nostrils of the
individual who breathes through his
nose. Keep your mouth shut and you
may defy pestilence.
The teeth suffer from too much and
too frequent exposure to the atmos-
phere. Sudden changes of temperature
whether liquid or atmospheric, are hurt
full to them. The best teeth in the
world are those of savage tribes. whose
members always keep their mouths shut
except when talking or eating.
Throat and lung diseases are often
contracted by persons who go about
open mouthed. The frosty air of winter
inhaled directly into the lungs through
the mouth is frequent cause of bron-
chial disorders. Taken through tho
nose it is modified aud sifted of many
of its dangers. Keep your mouth shut!
