II IS not necessary to pile up statis-
tics Quite as Hforclble an argument
ia The practice Of frequent vaccination
among doctors who are obliged to at
tend small pox patients One does not
often hear OF the death OF a physician

himself as nearly immune as he can

coming to be thought that the duration
OF this period OF comparative immunl.

great as is generally believed oy a
public brought up to regard an ugly
scar as a guaranty OF protection for
seven years and possibly longer. This
view is stiil held. however. by many
physicians. other experts believe that
while a single vaccination doubtless
has considerable permanent good
effect It canuot be regarded as giving
comparative immunity for longer
period than two years and the time
during which II may be considered a
sure preventive has lately been placed
as low as six months
In spite of the demonstrated efficacy
Of vaccination. the progress Of small
pox throughout the country has been
marked by determined protest from
the Christian scientists and other anti
vaccinationists who consider their
rights trampled upon when boards Of
health enforce a compulsory vaecina.
zion nle. Not often are the health
boards hampered in their measures Of
sefety by such action as that Of a son
oi Mrs Mary Baker Eddy. who tried
to have the law set aside IN South Da-
kota. The state supreme court upheld
the board OF health. as has been the
result wherever the contest has been
uade in America In England a com
pulsory vaccination act was passed as
early as 1858, and there has long been
a strong characterization element
there. A cartoon supposed to repre-
sent the public feeling early in the last
century shows vaccinated persons with
horned COWS leaping out Of all parts Of
their anatomy.
The Christian scientists raise the
same obj ctions to vaccination as to
other medical treatment, and the op-
position Of this body, which has grown
50 surprisingly, is large enough to be
somewhat troublesome when arrayed
against modern treatment at times Of
dangerous epidemics. There are also
emphatic persons and superstitious
people who object to vaccination on
yarioue grounds that need not be dis
cussed. One reasonable objection to
inoculation is the possibility Of infec-
ton with other diseases. There un-
deniabiy have been cases OF the kind,
but such accidents are needless now,
for the vaccine Is made from cal letul-
l.. selected calves and iE not transfer
red from one human being to another
as it used to be. in view of what vac
cination has done it ls hard to see
how sensible people can doubt it's
efficiency. The history Of Montrea's
small pox Is the classic example, and
/; Is a wonderful tribute to Jenner, the
discoyerer of vaccination. In 1885 the
Canadian city was swept by a terrible
scourge of small pox and for some
years thereafter it was the most thor
oughly vaccinated city in America.
The result was thatfor 10 years it did
not have another case of small pox.

peafneas cannot be cured

There is only one way TO cure Deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
mmbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammatlon can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by

Mr.. Nikola Tesla says that to ac-

a powerful oscillator, which will take
up little room and which, when enor-
nous voltage is turned on, will make
the shortest track through the earth
to a receiving station. From physics
man has derived apt phrases for use
in other portions of human activity.

NOT A SINGLE REGRET.
Defeat of Hannn's shipping bill VIII
Prove Gratifying to the
People.

Now that the Hanna ship subsidy
hill has again been laid aside by a de-
cisive senate vote of As to 2, with a
of increased opposition to
it's passage during the life of the pres
ent congress-, il may safely be assert
ed that no popular regret will arise.
There is, as a matter OF course a
deep chagrin on the part of Mark
Hanna and the monopoly syndicate
behind this subsidy grab. This is as
natural as has beer Hanna's repeated
loss of temper during the debate on
the measure. The administration is
pledged to the passage of the ship
subsidy bill, and it enrages Hanna that
he is prevented from paying the ad-
m~inistration's campaign debts.
The American people, however, are
not in favor of this payment. The
money would necessarily come out OF
their pockets-some S1sO,o00,O00 in al
it would vastly enrich the subsidy
| syndicate, but it would do the people
no good whatever. They cannot SCI
WHY they should be thus colossal,
taxed because certain multimillion
aires put up the money which reelect
ed Mr.. Mckinley to the presidency.
Viewed from the standpoint of tn
taxpayers of the United States, tn
present situation of the ship subsid.
bill is gratifying. 1T will be material
ly improved if the present congress
now in session shall adjourn sine di

Hon. David Meekison is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by a very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
wears he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came TO the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DIR.
Hartman as the result:
"Ihave used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. l feel
encouraged to believe that if l use it a
yhort time longer 1 will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness
a slight cough, a cold in the head, or {
trifing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
g person in his business. But this i

since the Republican victory
OF 1906.

The mar value of a share OF tock
IN the standard Oil company is $500.
Since the republican victory OF io'o'
the market value of Standard oll STOCK
has been steadily increasing. soon
,fter the election of 1896 this stock
was quoted at 5000 per share. In fep-
ruarv. 1899, it sold for $439 per share;

at hand is $s15.
When one reads the record of recent
dividends declared by this great con-
Germ it is not difficult to understand
why the market value OF the STOCK mas
increased so rapidly.
The capital stock OF the
Oil is 100000 900. In 1891,
1892. 1898. 1894 and 1895, the Standard
Oil company paid dividends amount

EXTRA SESSION OPPOSED.
Scheme to Accommodate h Trusts
at the Expense of American
Trade and Industry.

Word comes from Washington City;
"An extra session of congress is inev-
table, Why? Really because the
sugar refiners' trust and the cigar
trust want things so fixed that Cuba
shall be held in such subsection to the
United States as to admit Cuban raw
sugar and leaf tobacco into this coun-
try free of duty or at very much re-
duced rates.
No matter if the solemn pledge of in
dependence to Cuba is ruthlessly vio-
lated. No matter if destruction comes
upon the promising beet sugar indus
try of our northern and western states
or the cane crop of the south. Nc mat
ter if our vast domestic fruit and veg
etable interests are blighted. No mat
ter if domestic tobacco culture be-
comes Improbable. No matter if the
enormous business of cigar making
is transferred to Havana and Manila.
No matter if the promising develop
ment of the rice industry is throttled.
No matter if cotton drops back from
ten cents to five cents per pound.
Oh. no, why should these great do
nestle interests be considered at all?
Of course the proper thing for con-
gress to do is to provide an unlimited
market for the tropical syndicates and
for their products grown by collie la
bor. The scheme has worked beauti-
fully in Hawaii. Let us repeat it in
