The per capita consumption OF aico-

try, although Its consumption is in
creasing in other nations. The New
York Medical Record puts this decline
during the last ten years at 80 per cent
Prior to that time there was a conbn-

In the face OF all these unfavorable
conditions, why has the per capita con-

Everything that affects the welfare

OF comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not narrow man,
II Is the politician who Is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as II is, and seeks, as far as Is In his
power. to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms Is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
como to know OF its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most

the right parties were located there In
charge. We would recommend that

whether some other method of caring

one now in use; therefore be it
