Twenty years ago ,catarrh was compare
lively unknown. Now, no age, sex or con-
dition is exempt from II, and no climate or
locality is a cure for it. Catarrh Is to be
more dreaded than all the yellow fever,
cholera, small pox, diphtheria and all other
epidemic diseases-as 1t is more fatal. tbs
in the large majority OF cas esthe forerunner
of consumption, and vital statistics show
that deaths from consumption in this coun-
try have increased more than 200 per cent
in the last five ars, nearly all OF these
cases having been traced back to c+tarrh as
their starting point, and many physicians
now contend that catarrh is only iDcipient
consumption. We make the treatment OF
catarrh a speciality. We do cure catarrh.
Catarrh has never been cured by nasal
douches, washes or snuffs. Catarrh is
disease OF mucous membrane, and is durable
only through the blood, and by medicines
peculiarly adapted to each particular case.
Medicine that will cure one will not cure
another.
1t has been determined by microscopists
that catarrh has as distinct germ as any OF
the noted epidemic diseases, and again and
been treated for some other disease when
catarrhal germs have been present.
A remedy for catarrah must be used con-
affinity for the mucous membrane, and OF

Reckless BicycIinE by Children.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Please allow me the use of your paper TO
give a word of caution to small boys who
ride mems wheels. A bright little fe low
collided with me yesterday at a street
crossing. simply because he was speeding
on mans wheel without a brake. His
feet Were three inches from the pedals
when down. He had absolutely no control
of his wheel as to stopping and lost his
head as to whether he would go before or
behind me, with the result that he ran
into my wheel and fell. But he fortunately
escaped a serious accident. AT the next
corner he might have met an electric car
with worse results. Parents and owners
of bicycles should positively prohibit chill
dren riding wheels where their feet do not
control the pedals. In fact, there should be
a police regulation against IT,

THE WHEAT CROP.
LOGAN cOUNTY'S CROP THE BIG
GEST AND BEST WE EVER
RAISED
And Our Yield Per Acre, Probably
Excels that of Any Other County
In The State.

Up to this time some 10000 bushels
of new wheat have been bought by our
Bellefontaine dealers. This is unusual
at this time. The quality of the wheat
is excellent "the best ever raised, F."
was the expression of our miller, Mr..
Robert Cotton, who has been in the
business here, for over thirty years.
Its quality is uniformly excellent. The
yield is greater in almost every case,
than the farmers who have threshed,
expected. We have not heard of a
crop that has averaged less than 20
bushels to the acre. Most crops range
from "a to 80, many average 30, and
some run above 35.
Mr.. Ed Bates of Bokescreek threshed
an average of 38 bushels off a field OF
10 acres. Mr.. T. J. johnson of Jeffer-
son threshed 6O14 bushels off 20 acres,
and 10 acres of it averaged about 40
bushels. Mr.. Coulter Allen threshed
an average of SO bushels-but his
acreage was small. The average, nc
doubt, is above 20 bushels. to the acre.
The crop is doubtless the largest
ever raised in the county. In 1880 our
crop reached 731, 494 bushels. That
was the largest ever raised in the
county, but the average was less than
16 bushels to the acre.
This year with an average of 20
bushels, our crop will be 769,9S0 bush
els. We believe it will exceed that.
Our crop is better than in any
county about us, and one of the best
informed men on the crop in the State
told us he believed we had a better
crop of winter wheat than any county
in the Mississippi valley.
The average in the State is set down
at only 10 per cent of an average crop.
In Northwestern Ohio, in some coun-
ties, there is not more than one fourth
of crop.
