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 in
cucable. For Il great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constant failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurablc.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treat
mcnt. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by Il. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

Of their just privileges. The law

changing a single word Of q statute,

BETTER FARM PRICES

The frequent assertion of demo-
Gratis, in attempting to account for
the better condition of farmers
throughout the United States, as
compared with that under the late
democratic administration, is that
the tariff has nothing to do with it,
and that it is due solely to the fact
that>there> has been an extraordinary
demand abroad for American wheat
by reason Of shortage in foreign
CROPS. In this they ignore the fact
that practically every article pro-
duced by the farmer has advanced
meantime. Wool, for instance,
which was worth s cents Il pound
when Mr.. Bryan was nominated is
now worth 16 cents. Potatoes have
more than doubled in price. Beef,
which, on July 1, 1896, was worth
$3.50 cents per barrel in New York
markets, is now worth $40: mess
pork has advanced from 1926 to
1915. Beef carcasses in Chicago,
which were worth s.. cents, are now
worth,7 cents in the same market,
and hogs, which were then worth 81
cents, are now worth So cents.
Horses, which then averaged $65 in
the Chicago markets. are now quoted
at $50. Bccves on foot per hundred
were then 81 65, now $500: SHEEP
then 81 now ST.. SO: flour, which was
then 1926, is now 1926; rye has ad

Must Eventually Come Nes.

The southern cotton mills lave
practically driven the northern mills
from the field. The southern mills
are on the ground where the raw
material is grown and the secret lies
in the fact that the finished product
can be- SOLD without adding to it's
cost the heavy transportation to and
from the mills that New England
mills must pay. Montana is the
greatest wool producing state in the
union. it borders on idiocy to ship
our wool to New England to be man
ufactured and afterwards back here
again to be consumed. 1t is only a
question Of time when history will
repeat itself as in the cotton states
and the Woolen mills OF New En-
gland be forced to utilize the water
power that is going to waste in the
Rocky mountain region where the
raw material is produced. j icItet.

carious condition. Miss Gordon her

any time since her illness, and the
worst was feared. DR.. Hill was in

Paris, and contributing to pcrlodi-
Gals. In 1884 she was professor of
aesthetics in Northwestern univcr-
sitv and dean of the woman 5 college,
where She developed her system of

adopted by other educators. Miss
| Willard left her profession in 1894
to identify herself with the Woman'S
Christian Temperance Union, serving
as corresponding secretary Of the
national organization until 1879, and
since that date as president. AS
