1t is rumored that sanitarium
is to be located in La Junta in the
near future in the vicinity of Home
Place. We doubt very much
whether reputation as health
resort would be beneficial to this
community in the long run. La
Junta has plenty Of room for live,
energetic men. but howsoever
much we may sympathize with
people who have one foot in the
grave, 1t won't do the town any
good to establish a reputation as
the purgatory Of all creation.
There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was suppos-
ed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurabie. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore re-
auires constitutional treatment.

The nil to Suppress Ticket Scalpinj
Ms Viewed by Drummcrs.
a recent issue OF the New York CONNER
cial Traveller contained the following ar
ticle, which will be OF interest to travelling
men:
When congress convemes in December
an effort viii be made TO pass the
Sherman Cullom bill to suppress ticket
scapers by making promlscuous traf-
lie In transportation an ofense against
the peace and dignity OF these United
States. II the bill falls to become
law ut tho approach.ng session OF this
congress what has already been ac-
complished viii have been lost for bill
Dies with the congress during which IL
was introduced.
lnasnurh AS this measure has al
ready been favorably recommended by
hoth tho senate and house commit
tees to which it was committed 1t is
desirable to hasten n vote of both
branches of congress. At no time Will
the opponents of scalping be in better
position to court Immediate action.
With both committees favorable. II
should not he difficult TO secure IL vote.
Even defeat would be better than fail
ule TO test congress on the subject
while general conditions seemingly are
SO favorable.
II tue Dill does not nave day In
court all the weary work must be done
again before the next congress and
he would be wise man who can pre-
diet at this lime what the complexion
OF that congress will be.
We hope the bill viii. become IA law.
Long ago we announced our opposi-
ton 10 the scalper. basirg II broadly

tional convention Mt Omaha. ndorsed this
TO work for its passage, Ii Is true that the
action was not fully approved by nll The
members, Some thought that the railroads
should first give some token of good faith
toward the travelling men before we should
assist them. especially the members within
the jurisdiction OF the Southern Passenger
association were of the opinion that n
love feast should be somewhat mutual.
However, all stand by the action OF their
chosen delogates. They will keep good faith
and now they pass this sentiment lin TO the
railroad companies What we want Is an
ticket ut the rate of .
cents per mile, rs 1t Is enjoyed by travelling
men in the North and East, and let the

From, President Peak.

To Post Presidents and Secretaries.
Dallas, Texas, November 17.--Janaiary I
will soon be here and with 1t will be re-
qured the renewals of nearly all mem-
bers OF our association. Your attention
has, been called TO this fact through the
columns Of tho various newspapers
throughout the State devoted to tho r. p.
AS. Your thougltful secretary has been
alive to his business in this regard, as
well as other workers IN our association.
II remains now for you TO do your duty
in calling the attention OF your individual
post members so that they may not lose
sight OF the Importance OF senaing in their
81 before the first 81 Tic year. THIS Will
require some iittlo time and attention from
YOU. 1t VIII require OF tee secretary the
sending out of po5ta cards of notification
which should impress upon members the
Importance OF net delaying this duty Until
the last moment, for fear some should pass
the final day, which Is December 81.
Attention Should also be called to the
fact that whilst there are thirty days
grace" allowed members before they ale
dIopped from the rcll, yet, during those
thirty days, there Is no Insurance protec-
tion In this connection | desire TO Sug
gest that in order TO keep up the interest
in posts and to increase the membership,
more attention should be paid TO the
moalthly and semi-monthly meetings OF the
post members. This is evidenced by the
rapid and continual growth Of Post L at
Dallas. There seldom comes a night OF
meeting In which they do not nave a fine
attendance and Il good increase of men,
bership. The reason for this is that the
officers of this pest are continually re-
minding their membership of TIE coming
meeting and are always calling their at
tention 60 some interesting feature, that
VIII be brought up on the proposed occa-
sion.
There Is too much lethargy among some
Of our post officers throughout the State;
and | want to warn you kindly that unless
Sou get a move on yourselves you Will find
pour posts disintegrating instead of build
ing up. 1t is our purpose to go forward.
Tine time may not be far away when the
Travellers Protective Association may be
called upon TO exercise in a forclble way
the power THAT they possess, and in order
to make a showing THAI will be creditable
to this grand organization II will need the
force of an increased membership. In
unity alone Is strength. This thought
should inspire the travelling men every
where to join our body.
] kindly urge State presidents and secre-
taries. as well as all other officers of this
association to get to work and make
showing. There are vice presidents AMI
directors and other officers OF this divi-
sion who are as responsible for the up
building of our membership as am |. and
| trust that they will consider that this ap-
peal lis intended as much for them as for
any one else. Our National directors have
agreed to give six months dues TO every
one who secures six applications by jan
uary /
This will be an easy way to Fay those
dues and trust that YOU will exert your
selves 10 this end. Fraternallv yours.
