catarrh by the use of so-called blood reme
dies? That catarrh is not caused by blood
troubles is self-eyident when you reflect
that attacks are always due to sudden eli
matte changes or exposure, and occur most
frequently during the winter and spring,
though the blood is as pure then as in sum
mer or fall. A remedy which quickly re-
lieves and cures the catarrhal attacks has
been found in Ely's Cream Balm.

the selling price of land due to existing improved highways is $6.4S per acre, while the estimated increase per acre that would result from improving all the public roads is $9 He learned also that the estimated average cost of con verting the common public roads into improved highways is $1,146 per mile, and that the estimated average annual loss per 100 acres from poor roads is $76.2S. On the basis of the last men toned estimate Professor Latta says the average annual loss per acre from poor roads is over 76 cents, In five years the losses would aggregate $2,4S2 for every section of land, and this sum would construct two miles at a cost of $1, ,216 per mile, which is $70 per mile above the estimated average cost given by the farmers themselves. But there is another side to this question, viz: the increased value of land from high way improvement, As already stated, this increase is estimated by the farm CTS consulted at $9 per acre. This would enhance the value of each section of land $5, 760, which is more than double the estimated cost of the two miles of improved highway which constitute the quota for the section. Just here the objection may be raised that the improved roads would not increase the productive capacity of the land, while the enhanced commercial value would increase the taxes. Let us suppose the increase in appraisement for taxation to be $4 per acre, and the tax rate IA per cent This would mean an annual increase in taxes of 5 cents per acre, or $5 per 100 acres. Would he keep the money and go back to the thraldom of mud roads? If so, he has the option of selling his farm, according to the av- ere ge estimates of his brother farmers, that will more than doubly reimburse him for his expenditure on highway improvements.

 Physicians Rudely Stopped.
 Your story about calling for a doc tor in the circus" said a retired show man, reminds me of the way We broke up nuisance in a good d-sized Pennsyl- vania town. I was on the road with a farce comedy company, and we put in two weeks at the town in question, there being a big military encamp- ment there and a county fair to boot. We drew good houses all through the engagement, and were booked for an early return. I don't think we had been there more than one night before the doctor nuisance began. There would come hurried messenger from the box office to the stage manager with request that he ask if Dr. Bolus, or whatever his name happened to be, was in the house, and if he was to send him to the box office at once. Of course, the stage manager couldn't very well refuse, and general attention was directed to the medical man, much to his satisfaction. We soon found out that the doctors who were so much in demand were very small medical fry, and there wasn't doubt that they had themselves called for in order to secure the consequent notoriety. We'll. We stood it for a few nights, and then an 4n Q the main street until I came to a cer- tain sign hanging over the stairway. I went up to the office indicated, and had a brief conversation with its inmate, ending 1t by handing him reserved seat tickets.
 That evening, immediately after the first act, and before any messenger from the box office had chance to ar rive. I stepped out in front of the cur tain and held up my hand. Then in my gravest tones I asked:
 "Is Dr. Chizziold in the house?"
 Immediately a very tall colored man, with a bushy white head and huge siiver-mounted spectacles. arose in the audience and said:
 'Heah I is, sah.'
 ''The audience Uttered, but I kept my gravity.
 You are wanted at the box office at once, doctor, in a case which requires your immediate professional attention.
 "As the aged darkey tucked to me and hobbled from the room, the audi ence broke into wild roar.
 Perhaps you will understand the | cause of their merriment when I add that the old man was corn doctor, and probably the best-known eccentric ! character in town.

Black Beauty Protests.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: body satisfied, except a few who realize that there are not enough official posi- tions to go around, suppose the horses air their grievances. In the first place horses need water just as much as they need food and those who use them kindly allow them to drink at the drinking troughs which are in most cases conveniently located. It happens that there are more horses at certain hours after water than there are at other times. For instance, at seven in the morning, at noon and at six at night, when going to and from busi- ness. Thus it happens that at these times the water doesn't always flow fast enough and some horses don't get as much as they need. Sometimes also it happens that a fountain is out of order and perfectly dry, like the one at Cedar Hill, corner of State and Ferry This has not had any water in it for month or more. In this case if the driver will only remember and water his horses when he gets home it is all right, but he may be thinking of something else and then it is all wrong.
 These are some of the tribulations of horses. Another is to be found in the evil practice of watering streets just at night The water doesn't dry off and all the evening the streets are muddy and the paving stones are slip pery When the horses come in they must have their legs washed off or they may take that painful disease called scratches" or mud fever, sleeping all night With the fresh mud on their legs. When the nights are cold the water freezes on the stones and in the morn ing they are covered with ice and are dangerous. Why not, then sprinkle the streets a few hours before night? In the forenoon at this time of year would be much better and then the horses could travel all day without breathing dust all the time.
 These are a few of the things about which horses would protest if they could talk, and it seems as if there might be some use in protesting about the Cedar Hill drinking fountain if about nothing else.

SENATOR PLITT.

Next winter Connecticut will conn plete her magnificent contribution to the upholding of national honesty and good government in this emergency by sending Orville H. Platt to again repre- sent her in the United States Senate. And he will be sent as generously and abundantly as the Republicans in the legislature who will elect him have been sent there. There will be no opposition to his reelection. The people of Con- necticut know that they cannot do bet ter by themselves and their country than to continue him in a place where he has been uncommonly useful and influential, and where he has earned the respect and confidence of all his associates, and of all the people of the country who have watched his steady, honest course. And Connecticut is es- pecially fortunate in being able to re- turn Senator Platt to Washington at this time because he is q member of the Finance committee, which will be the most important committee during the next four years. Senator Platt's experience, ability and sound financial ideas will give him great weight in the deliberations and action of this committed It is a good thing for Con- necticut and the country that he will be returned to his old place The legis- lature will do we'll to re-elect him with out a dissenting vote. There is no reason why there should be one, even from any of the few Democrats who will be ''spared monuments' in the legislature.
