CAN We BE CURED
OF Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, /,
Consumption?
A Test by Which the True Value of
All Cures Can be Determined.

Hcw many thousands there are today
who would gladly pay almost any reason
able sum TO be cured of either one of the
above diseases, but, knowing of so many
dlHerent remedies and treatments, are
unable to decide which one to try. 1t does
seem difficult task, yet becomes COM
paratively easy one If the person affiict-
ed will but use little good judgment and
common sense. In the first place. every
man and woman knows, or should know,
that the air passages were made for air
alone, and that nature has so construct
ed these passages that moisture of any
kind cannot enter the bronchial tubes or
lungs. This at once precludes all posi-
billty of cure of deep-seated diseases
being effected by treatment requiring the
use OF sprays, douches, atomizers or va
pors. Secondly, all regular physicians ad-
NIT that these diseases are purely local
and must be treated locally, consequent
~ stomach medicines become useless In
treating diseases of tn. air passages. The
diseased parts must be reached through
the air We breathe or not at all. Not
only this, but a germicide must be used
which will leave the air dry, and yet
have the power to destroy the bacilli of
disease in the minutest air cells of the
lungs. This decision reached. then comes
the question. Is there such a germicide
which can be inhaled through the air
you breathe? Thirty-eight hundred ply
sicians and over three hundred thousand
persons who have tested 1t. say YES.
Your money Is refunded if it fails to do
as guaranteed.

To act al one and the same time a
German emperor and king OF Prussia
is no sinecure, says the Pail Mall Ga

urally pertaining to his exalted position
he has to solve a terrifying number Of
questions that in other countries would
be reserved for the municipal autIlorl-
ties. Thus the question as to the sys,
TEN OF electric tramways 10 be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabnet
for final decision. The plan of the lines
has already been approved, but the sys'

been settled. The emperor has there.

eineer in deciding between overhead

AS soon as he has pronounced his hoe
volo, sic jubeo, Berlin Will be provided
with the largest system OF electrical
tramways on the continent. The Der.
lin TramWay company has already com
pleted its preparation the lines are
laid and the cars are ready; only the
wires and poles for conducting the cur

therefore, will be in full working order
by the summer. The emperor is GER

bat the prince of Wales would have been

as he looked at the picture again and
related some anecdotes of "Swiftwater
Bill" the man who had struck "$5 900
10 the square foot on bedrock" Bill"
had the second best claim on the Yukon,
and was so self-important on his re-
turn that he kept private secretary
through whom the reporters had to in

Gussie La More, vaudeville dancer who
danced in a tent in Dawson. Swift
water Bill' paid her attention, but got
mad at the dancer and married her sis
ter. The dancer was very fond of eggs
while in Dawson. and after their quar-
rel Bill bought up every egg there
was in the place, paying one dollar
apiece for them to the number Of about
400, and then ate his meals near her so
as to enjoy her annoyance at not being

INDIAN ANTlPATHY TO FISH.
Why Some Tribes VIII Not tse Them



At a recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, DR.
Washington Matthews, of Washington.
D. c., read a paper on ''IcthyophObia,"
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo Apache and other Indian
tribes of the far southwest. who will
not eat fish nor have anything to dc
with articles made in the shape of fish
This taboo" with the Nava Jos extends
to all things connected with water. y
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was a
fear that they might be required &c
overcome this cherished taboo super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun.
\ legend to account for this fish
taboo was given. There was a time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had big pow-wow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed TO kill no deer, but
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed TO eat no fish. but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians will not
eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of its scarcity, and this reverence ex
tends to animal life in water. Several
