STOP THE FIJI THY HABIT

Even Chicago is up III arms against
the habit some people have of expecto-
rating in public conveyances and upon
the sidewalk. The Times Herald ap-
pears to be leading in the fight against
"spitters." and the Herald reproduces
what it says, hoping the Los Angeles
board of health may be stimulated by
it to curb the miserable habit in this
city. The Times-H Herald says: The.
history of boards of health, both state
and municipal, is record of gradual but
effective conquest of ignorant prejudice
on the part of medical science that has
been invested with more or less author
ity to enforce prohibitory or restraining
The herald., 1897-01-01

This is the first day of new year, we
say, but is it? Is there such a period of
time as a year? To be sure, we divide
time into convenient periods. or rather
we think we do, but, in reality, yester-
day and today are one. That which is
always was, and there is nothing new
under the sun" Whatever is to be not
only will be, but is now. The beginning
and the end are one, but there is no be-
ginning nor ending. Gods and men and
animals and trees and boulders are one.
There was no yesterday nor will there
be q tomorrow. Yesterday is now and
tomorrow is row. What we call mater
ial things are simply spirit in manifesto
ton. hence all that is is spirit. Thus
teacheth the Guru.

AS TO MR.. ASTOR

William Waldorf Astor is coming in
| for a great deal of unnecessary abuse
| because he has decided to become cit
| izen of Great Britain. No doubt Mr.. AS
| tor is something of snob, but that is
his business. If he wants to bow and
sorape to European royalty and the like,
| why, let him. Thousands of Americans
are doing or would like to do the same
thing. If Mr.. Astor feels that there is
nothing in common between his aristo-
cratic ways and means of making a
monumental ass of himself and the corn
bread democracy OF the United States,
let him swear allegiance to John Bull
The people of the United States do not
rave and tear their hair and call names
when Engllshmen abandon the land of
fogs and 'alf and 'alf and become citi-
zens of this country. We like to have
them become one of US, and, besides, one
good Englishman Americanized is worth
a field full of Astors. 1t Is charged up to
Mr.. Astor that he finds very much more
congenial comparionship in England
than in his native land. but has not a
man the right to go where he can have
the most fun for his money?
1t is charged. too, that Mr. Astor wants
to marry one of royal blood, but we
should be glad il he does. We have been
marrying our girls to European dukes,
counts, earls and the like ever since
shoddy reorganized American social life.
and If Mr.. Astor can break the monotony
and marry a real, live English princess,
for heavens sake let US encourage him
to do so. even if the girls father is lit
tie spotted here and there, morally
speaking. We Americans spend $780,
co., 900 every year in foreign lands, which
goes to show that we like foreign lands
and foreign peoples. Then, again, Mr..
Astor is in love, and it is just possible
that he is not altogether responsible for
the desire which is consuming him as if
by fire, to be Britisher, don't you
know. But, anyway, let him go in peace,
and if Wales is willing to "chum" with
him for a little loan, or if Wales daugh-
ter is willing to marry him, let us not
kick. William Waldorf is all right if he
does part his hair in the middle and
wants to be an Englishman.

How TO
CatapPh.

Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know thai it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala
tiors, etc, which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while Is proof that the
treatment 10 all wrong. Mauy
who have been uIder treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
st, ad of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any cure for Catarrh.
r,s trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis-
diro ctcd, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that 10, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be a good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very lttom OF the trouble and forces it
out. SIS. (Swilt's Specifc) Is the only
one which can have the slightest effe ct
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per-
mauently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable way TO treat Catarrh.

There Is no political issue at this

tremendous effort has been made to
show within few days that the city
finances are In perfect order and that
the city credit is perfectly good. All
who have had dealiegs with the city
the past two years know this Is not
true. All vino have had dealings
with the city know that they have to
