Catnrrh Mems DANGER

Because if unchecked it may lead d.
rectly to consumption. Catarrh =
caused by impure blood. This fact IS
fully esta blished. Therefore. it is use
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or :nhalants. The trua
way 70 cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh by its
power to drive out all impurities from
the blood Thousands of people testify
that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Difference Between Assay and Mar

inexperienced prospectors and mine
owners sometimes make serious mis-
takes concerning the actual market
value of their ore, and these mistakes
occasionally lead 20 the development
of property from which they are never
able 10 extract a pound of shipping ore
There is a vast difference, says the
Denver Mining Industry, between the
assay value and the product value OF
ore. as every ore producer well knows.
but which occasionally owners of pros
poets do not seem TO know. One daS
this week a man was complaining bit
terly because a shipment ne had made
failed to pay treatment charges,
though the assay value of the ore was
much above the cost, and he had ex-
pended much labor and cash in de
veloping the property. By way of IL
lustration we will take an ore that
assays, say. 10 ounces of silver, 30 per
cent lead and half an ounce of gold
per ton; the silver would be worth
$3.50, the lead SIS and the gold Sl0.33,
a total assay value of $31.93. Suppose
the cost of mining was So, freight IS
and treatment $40. a total of 81; this
is $40 below the assay value of the ore.
and, strange as it may seem. there are
proSpectors and others interested in
mining who would insist that the ore
can be mined at profit. But the
smelters would figure the value out in
this way: Silver, Der cent off for
loss in treatment. leaving 1927; lead.
10 per cent off for loss in treatment,
and s1.25 deducted for freight charges
from smelter to market, leaving $50;
gold. $40 per ounce. making the value
of gold $3.50; total value of the ore.
S22.5O Deduct s21 for mining, freight
and treatment. as above. and we find
that the producer would have but
$1.50 left, a very slender margin. OF
course these are facts well known 10
all who have experience in selling ores.
but other people are often misled by

AN Interesttn9 Decision.

Sioux Falls, s.. D., Jan. 25.-ln the case
of j. Thompson & Sons Manufacturing
company VS. Scott & Thompson, Judge
~. w. Jones made a decision which will
be of large interest to foreign orpora-
lions doing business In South Dakota.
Under the state law no foreign orpora-
lion doing business in South Dakota can
have standing In court until they have
filed with the state auditor a certified
copy of their articles of incorporation.
and with the register OF deeds In the
county in which the company's agent is
located a certificate of his appointment.
In this case the agent of he plaintiff
company lives at Sioux Falls. The GER
tificate of his appointment had been
duly filed but it was signed only by the
president and secretary of the company.
Vhere was nothing to show that the di-
%rectors of the company had authorized
the agents Appointment n they did
not join in the certificate authorizing
him to aci as their agent, The court
held that he certificate was defective
and did not comply with the law. The
suit of the plaintiff firm was therefore
dismissed on this ground. 1t is under
stood that very few outside corpora
tons have compiled with the law IL this
decision holds good and thus that few
IL any of them have a standing in the
state courts. The decision will be APP
pealed.

The Women's Civic league of Cincin-
nati has attempted to bring about many
reforms. Last spring the league made
an urgent appeal to the board of admin
istration for SAM piles to be scattered
over the city that the children might
play In them and thereby prevent bow
legs. Later the league suggested to the
mayor that cuspidors be placed along
the edge of the sidewalks so hat men
might expectorate in them. A few days
ago one of the members of the league,
while riding on a street car, saw a po-
llceman who was chewing tobacco and
squirting the saliva on the floor. This
lady reported the incident to the league.
The women al once addressed an appeal
to the mayor, and Saturday Mayor John

force forbidding expectoration either on
the street cars or on the sidewalks. The
