Sheriff Has a Tussle.

Late Tuesday night Sheriff Reiter
was given q writ of habeas corpus to
recover 18 months old Ord. Collins
from it's grandparents at Rudolph.
Wood county, Ohio, and restore the
boy to its father, Chas. Collins, living
in Damascus township, this connty.
The Sheriff was accompanied by Mr..
Collins, and reached the house of the
grandfather, Peter Sites, about one
o'clock Wednesday morning. Here
he had two hours tussle before he
could get the child. He finally OBJ
tanned the boy and arrived in Napo-
leon with him Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Sites accompanied him back and
will institute proceedings against
Mr.. Collins for the recovery of the
child.
Mr.. Collins married a Miss Sites
some years ago, but since September
22nd, 1896, they have not been living
together, Mrs. Collins living with her
parents at Rudolph. Last week she
died and was buried Monday. Mr..
Collins then wanting the custody of
his child, took the above habeas
corpus means.

nentness Cannot he cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition OF the mucous lin
Ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube gets infained you have a
rambling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing bat an in

DON'T LIKE 1T.
When Made in a Wrong Way.

"I wish you would say to the peo-
pie some day that i don't believe
more than half those who try Postum
the health coffee for the first time get
it right. In my family the first time
it was served, the color was thin and
the taste sort OF watery without
much character. Come to inquire,
the cook had boiled it about s min
utes instead OF IS; so, the next morn
ing we tried it again and had 1t boiled
properly, then it came on with the
rich deep brown color Of fine coffee.
l drink my coffee with cream and
sugar and postum hit my taste very
favorably. Now we are daily users
of Postum the food drink and staunch
champions OF it. But il we had form
ed an opinion from the first trial,
when the fault was entirely our own,
we would have condemned 1t and
been denied the use of beverage we
prize most highly and which is help
ing us physically as well as adding to
our table comforts"
The above is almost literal repro
duction of u statement made to the
advertisement writer of the Postum
Cereal Co., Linn, of Battle Creek,
Mich, and contains fact that is well
to notice. We do not think he Is
quite right in his estimate of the pre-
centage who blunder in the prepara-
tion of the grain coffee.
Our heavy sales in this city indicate
that it is easily prepared and success
fully. Now and then q person may
be careless in brewing it and get a
poor drink; carelessness with fine cof.
fee makes it disagreeable instead of
a pleasant krink.
Postum properly brewed is delicious
and nourishing.

Corn and Free Alcohol.

Commercial alcohol can to-day be
bought at the distilleries by the car
load, including the barrel, at fourteen
cents q gallon. Before the buyer can
use 1t, even in the most useful manu-
facture, he must pay an internal rev.
enue tax on it of $206 a gallon.
This Is 1900 per cent.
A bushel Of corn will make some
thing over three gallons of alcoho,.
The tax on the product of that corn
is a tax on the corn itself; and if that
product is alcohol, the tax on bush
ell is S6.lS.
Suppose SIMILAR tax were levied
on every product of the corn? How
much would that amount to on a
steer or hog ready for marketf
There would be exactly the same
justice in taxing the hog or the steer
as in taxing the alcohol-provided
the alcohol is not used in the manu-
facture of an intocaxing beverage.
Abandon this tax on the innocent.y
used alcohol and an immense impetus
is at once given to the manufacture
of alcohol from corn and to every
manufacture (and their name is leg
ion) in which alcohol is factor.
Senator Platt's committee for in
vestigatlng the subject declare that
under such untaxed alcohol we
should at once open a new market
for thirty million bushels of corn.
Statistics from other countries indi-
cate that this estimate is, if anything,
too low.
Germany, as the committee say,
has reaped enormous benefits in her
export trade, from free alcohol in the
arts. France is following suit.
The only possible reason for taxing
alcohol is that it is used as an intox
icant. The only reason alleged for
taxing alcohol not used as an intox.
icant is that it may lead to frauds,
and that alcohol ostensibly usedes in5
may be surreptitioHslYYa aused
p&s sp intoxlcant. lar9n5a G
Mr.. Henry Daley, an expert au-
thority, was sent by Mr.. Platt's COM
mittee to Europe to investigate the
subject. He reports that foreign
countries find no serious frauds in al.
lowing rebate of tax on alcohol used
in manufactures and the arts, and
they all have more or less liberal laws
in this direction.
Shall the United States confess her
inability to do what other nations
readily accomplish?
, Shall our great cereal product tion
lack an enlarged and profitable mark
ct, because the present Treasury Of
ficials declare that they cannot frame
regulations which are feasible for re-
mitting this tax. 4e n,
The western and southern farmers
are vitality interested in this question,
and they should demand Of their
Senator'S and Representatives of Con-
gress law which shall give them
this market.
