CATARRfI

! Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak OF Catarri
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at FIRST, It
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated BY
the foul secretilors. and the poison through g,i

WANT EXPERIMENTAL
FILTRATION PLANT,
Board of Public improvements Pre-
pairing Draft of Ordinance
for Its Construction.

The draft of an ordinance to provide for
the construction of an experimental fltra-
ton plant will be submitted to the Board
Of Public Improvements by the Water
works Committee shortly. for approval and
Transmission to the Municipal Assembly.
The committee has given informal consid-
Grafton to the subject this week and all
members concluded that the bill should be
formulated and sent to the Municipal AS
sembly as early as possible. In consequence
Hiram Phillips. the new president OF the
board, will probably give his first attention.
among important matters, to the subject Of
filtration.
The last Municipal Assembly rejected an
ordinance for a small filtration plant. the
purpose of which was to ascertain what
system would be best adapted to the purh-
cation and Qualification of the erver water
rs it is here. The opinion of scientific men
here, as well as the experience Of others in
other large cities, leads to the BELIEF that
local conditions must be considered in es-
tablish!ng a plant, as a system that would
be effective In one city might be ineffective
in another.
The former ordinance was filed by the
House of Delegates by the adoption OF the
adverse report returned by the Ways ND
Means Committee, Of which Mr.. Hartman
was chairman. This committee created some
commotion by advising the construction Of
a plant to cost several millions OF dollars
without first demonstrating the virtue Of
the plant. IT,
The present ordinance will probable re-
semble the last one. In all likelihood, it will
authorize the installation Of a plant to cost
not in excess of $50. 900 for experimentation,
with the object Of enabling the board to de-
eide from practical investigation what
filtration system will be best for St Louis.

TEACHING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Superintendent Sedan Points Out
Its Disadvantages.

Superintendent Sedan Of the public
schools has received inquiries recently from
teachers in the public schools regarding the
demand for school teachers in the Phil
tppine Islands. The matter has come I'M
der the notice of a great many teachers,
the field apparently offering good oppor-
tunities for educators.
Superintendent Sedan does not think that
the positions offered to American teachers
would prove remunerative. The standard
currency in the islands is Mexican money,
two dollars OF Mexican money being worth
only one dollar in American money.
There is a growing demand for the
higher class educators in the Philippines"
said Mr.. Sedan Friday. but by far the
largest number Of teachers employed are
natives. II a salary Of 5000 per year is
offered to teachers they must bear in mind
that this would amount to only $1,000 in
American money. I learn further that liv-
ing in the Philippines is very expensive and.
on the whole. the position would not be
remunerative. For the lower grades ma
tive teachers are employed. For those who
are able to obtain positions in the higher
schools the opportunity may be q good
one"
