Catarrh has been SO generally thought
to be a disease confined to the head and

many people to understand that catarra
may affect any part of the human body.
All the organs of the body are lined with
mucous membrane; all the passages of
the body are also lined with mucous
membrane. Wherever there is mucous
membrane there catarrh may exist.

Free Bathing and Barbering for
Statesmen.

Free Bathing and Barbering for
Statesmen.
It Is not generally known that Uncle
Sam furnishes his legislators with bath
tubs and other accessories Of cleanliness,
but it is nevertheless a fact. In the
basement of the capitol are located the
congressional bathrooms, where the
statesmen cleanse their cuticle at the ex-
pense of the people. On the house side
ther are Is tubs, while on the senate the
number is somewhat smaller. They
are patronized by the statesmen at all
hours Of the day. Attendants are pro-
vided at the expense of the government.
The fact that the bathrooms are almost
constantly occupied indicates the extent
to which the privilege of the free bath
is appreciated. Senators and members
who live at hotels, where extra charge is
made for bath, usually wait until they
reach the capitol to enjoy this luxury.
Not only are the statesmen furnished
free baths, but barber shops are pro-
vided for their use. These are we'll pat
ronized, as no charge is made, and the
BARRIERS turn many an honest penny.

ernment and at the same time get tips

Bryan and Mckinley.

You believers In Bryan, who asserted
without equivocation that he does not
believe in public ownership of Industries
you believed in a man named Cleve-
land once upon time, and you got
Cleveland and he did not alter things
at all, and yet you reelected him. Bry-
an believes in the system "as it is." If
you do, then vote for him. If you do not
believe in things as they are, why vote
for men who do? Bryan will howl
against trusts to make you feel good:
but he proposes no remedy that will
bring relief, and il you are posted on
the subject you know this. Such men
are worse than open oppressors. They
their opportunities for lettering their
lot in life. It is just such tactics as
kings and emperors always employ to
hocus pocus the people when they get
restless and might do away with royal
privileges. Mckinley is an open enemy
of the masses, though millions of them
no more see nor believe it than do the
millions in Russia see or believe that
royalty there is only a compact to rule
and rob them. Mckinley cannot deceive
millions who are seeking better con-
dition. Bryan can and will, and is,
therefore, worse for the people, for a
support Of him will put of the day OF
deliverance four years longer than it
would otherwise be. Bryan says he does
not believe in the public ownership Of
the means Of production and
distribution. Then he believes in
the private ownership Of them,
for the ownership must be either
the one way or the other. There Is no
other way but these two. We have priv
ate ownership now, and If he wants
nothing else, wherein would the people
benefit? What difference to the people
whether it be the present owners or a
change Of ownership to other parties? I
would as soon pay tribute for oil to
Rockefeller as to Bryan. I want no
tribute. If Bryan is elected by the ele-
ments that compose the Dempocratic
party, as represented in the legislative
halls today, do you suppose that party
would permit such innovations as a
change of system? This can come only
