A Rebuke From Rome.
Priests Forbidden to Exchange Masses
for Merchandise.

For some time booksellers, mer-
chants and others who cater principal
ly to Catholic priests have been in
the habit of giving merchandise in
exchange for Masses said for them by
the priests. A sum raging from So
up, according to their means, is usually
charged Catholics for Masses, and
this money goes into tho pockets of
the assistant priests or curates. Those
who had any commodity to exchange
for Masses gradually got into the
habit of Offering it to the priests in
lieu of money, and the latter willingly
accepted it, inasmuch as they thought
it better than nothing. But the &C
clesiastical authorities got wind ofthe
practice, and the following -lic, aa-

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and

Well, the nan who owes a debt that he
contracted upon a gold basis and is able
to pay it with Il 5O-cent dollar. He and
the mine owner who gets an exaggerated

the only two people, or classes of people,

goes from 80 cents to S1.20 the price
has been increased. you will say. but if
the price of everything else has gone up
in the same proportion. Il bushel OF
wheat won't buy for the farmer any
more sugar or coffee or farming imple-
ments. or anything else that he has to
purchase.
