From Notes and Queries. =,
This word, according TO the New Monthly
Magazine of January II 1sl7. page 514. de-
rives it's origin from two 'iscotch Presby-
terian ministers, father and son. and both
named Andrew Cant, ine the reign Of
Charles I. Whiteloek. in his Memorials" !"
page 511, after narratine nthe defeat at
Worcester In 1851, says:
Divers Scots ministers were permitted
to meet at Edinburgh to keep day Of
humiliation. as they pretended, for their
too much compliance with the king; and in
called parliament, Mr.. Andrew Cant, a
minister. said in his pulpit that God was
bound to own that parliament. for that all
other parliaments were called by man, but
this was brought about by His own hand
Hence the imputed origin Of the word as
applied to fanatical preaching and hypo-
critical pretenses In religion But the ear
liest use of the word given in the III. E.
D." is 1910: by lies and cants (they)
would trick ls to believe 'em saints

bearing upon the matter to ascertain when
the Cants really lived.

THE WESTERN JOCKEY CLUB

Chicago, January 16.-"The Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans Latonia, Tan Foran Memphis and Louisville tracks will with draw from the present Turf Congress and organize a new body similar to the East ern Jockey Club" said a prominent dele gate to the Turf Congress held here yes- terday. This will mean the dissolution of the present Turf Congress, the throwing out of the smaller southern tracks and the organization of strong western body with board of stewards that will be extreme ly powerful in turf matters"
 This combination includes the big tracks of the west with the exception of Little Rock. few small southern tracks, Oak land and Ingle side, the latter of which has not been in operation this season. These tracks will be provided for however, if the present plans carry The smaller tracks will be licensed by the larger and more powerful combine Any track not so l- censed will be called an outlaw. The new body, if it goes through, will be named the Western Jockey Club, and will fix all rac- ing dates
 Col. F. M. Apperson of Little Rock, in speaking of the contemplated change, said:
 he lufl congress VIII not dissolve. It will go on as before. The clubs which will remain in it will be Highland Park, New port, Nashville and Little Rock.
 The object of todays meeting of the Turf Congress-to provide for the division of the money now in the treasury was accomplished. Each track now in the Turf Congress secures s2900. This leaves the sum of $2600 in the treasury to cover pres ent expenses. It is said that each of the big tracks will turn it's $29OO into the treas ury of the new jockey club.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE

Symptoms of Very Common Trouble.
 There~is no disease so common in the United States as catarrh, because it ap- pears in so many forms and attacks so many different organs
 It Is a common mistake to suppose that catarrh is confined to the nose and throat Any inflammation of the mucous membrane wherever located, accompanied by abnor- nal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh of stom- ach or bladder or intestines is nearly as common as nasal catarrh, and much more serious, although 1t is true that stomach catarrh and catarrh of other internal or gans is the result of neglected nasal ca tarrh.
 A new remedy has recently appeared which, so far as tested, seems to be re- markedly effective in promptly curing ca tarrh. wherever located. The preparation is sold~by druggists generally under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and in addition to being very palatable and con- venient, possesses extraordinary merit, in many cases giving immediate relief from the coughing hawking and constant clear ing of the throat and head, those symp- toms with which every one is familiar who has ever suffered from colds in the head and throat.
 Catarrh is simply continuation of these symptoms until the trouble becomes chron- ic. and grows gradually worse from year to year.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Hydrastin, Eucalyptol Guaiacol and simi- lar antiseptics and catarrh specifies from which it will be seen that no secret Is made of the ingredients, and also that no mineral poisons are used as is the case with many we'll known catarrh medicines
 For catarrh of the nose, throat, bronchial tubes. for catarrh of stomach, intestines or bladder, no preparation is so safe and gives such rapid and permanent results as Stu arts Catarrh Tablets.
 All druggists sell them for Soc for fuli sized package. You can use them with surance that you will not contract the caine or morphine habits, as the resu ! from this catarrh cure are apparent from the first days use.
