A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication of Arrangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to To- cate because many diseases have head ache prominet SyL1ptom,- arrangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kid ney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or ill fitting glasses all produce headaches and if could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver
 At any rate catarrh is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches.
 There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form. composed of antisep- tics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol and Blood Root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the ca atarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuarts Catarrh Tablets as a. cure for them. She says: ''I suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. had suffered from catarrh, more or less for years, but never thought it was the cause of my headaches, but finally became con vinced that such was the because the headaches were always worse whenever I had cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
 "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as safe and pleasant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty cent boxes which procured from my drug gists I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good"
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug gists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they con- tain absolutely no cocaine Qound in so many catarrh cures) no opium (so common irt cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.

When a brainy man like David Belasco, the brilliant adapter of "Zaza,' the teacher of it's leading actress, Mrs. Leslie Carter; the author of season after seasons most successful plays, 'The Heart of Maryland" Hearts of Oak" etc.; the hardest worked and the ablest stage director in America
 When such wide-awake manager of his own and other peoples affairs deliberately turns to Paines celery compound as the one safe and sure invigorator for his overworked nervous system, only willful prejudices can hesitate to give full credit to this greatest or all remedies.
 T have used Paine's celery compound" says MT Belasco, "and found it of great benefit after hard work"
 MT. Belasco has managed more actors who have become famous and taken charge of more big theatres from San Francisco to New York than any living person. He has seen time and time again members of ''the profession" who weye run down" and on the verge of nervous exhaustion, gain in strength and vigor as soon as they began the use of Paine's celery compound The atrical people, as a body, have learned that the best way to keep their nervous systems strong and capable of doing the hard work demanded of them all to Paine's celery compound whenever they feel tired out, lanquid, dull or suffering from dys- pepsia or bilious nervous attacks.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF GENERAL TRADE
Business as a Whole Has Been
 on Larger Volume
FOUNDRY PIG IRON LOWER
While Steel BilIets Are Bringing 25 Gents More Per Ton, and There is Considerable Talk of an Ad-
 vance to $1 Per Ton.

New York, February 1.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Business as whole has been of a larger volume this week Cold and stormy wealth CT has unquestonally stimulated retail business in boots, shoes, rubber goods and clothing and this has aided in Tightening the stocks carried by retailers as a result of mild winter weather heretofore. More has been doing too, in wholesale lines on spring account and business in this respect is classed as fair.
 Reports are relatively best from the west and south from which sections adviees are that the total January business compares well with year ago. The contrary is re- ported from leading eastern markets, how ever, and the aggregate done here has not so far equaled expectations. Trade col dections a whole are fair the only com plant coming from sections where mild weather has interfered with the distribution of heavy goods Shoe trade reports are, on the whole, quite good and Boston reports case orders numerous Woolens are slow of sale and the squeeze in raw cottons, though temporary has not helped convert CTS, who have to pay more for their ma terial, but get no more for their finished production. Heavy cuts in rubber goods point to coming sharp competition in this industry Staple prices are little changed, cotton, pork and white pine lumber are all higher, but fractional declines are noted in wheat corn, flour, oats, lard and tin. ~
 Foundry pig iron is lower at all leading markets, but on the other hand Bessemer is rather frmer, while steel billets actu- ally sell for 25c more per ton, and there is talk of advance of RI ton. In tin- ished products, wire and wire nails are $2 up. The weakness in. foundry goods is chargeable to large buyers, who, having satisfied their early wants, are now hold ing aloof, and to reports that~stocks are increasing. A sale of 10 GOO tons is reported closed at the concessions noted Export trade in crude forms is practically dead, but in finished lines good business is still doing in railway materials, examples of which are shipments of locomotives to France, steel rails to Mexico and South Africa and steel billets to England. Heavy calls for pipe are reported from the new oil districts in Texas.
 Wheat including flour shipments for the week aggregate 3,T6,100 bushels against 4S4S,67S bushels last week, 2,724,937 bushels in the corresponding week of 1900, 6,5S5, AIS bushels in 1899 and S635, ,035 bushels in 1S9S
 From July to date this season, wheat exports are 115,977 6S3 bushels against 120,- 119 935 bushels last season and 15O,S11, ,659 bushels in 1S9S-99.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate TOT bushels against S972,1 bushels last week. 3,59S,962 bushels in this week a year ago. 3697713 bushels in 1899, and 4,104,9S1 bushels in 1898.
 From July 1 to date this season, corn shipments are 115, ,252 444 bushels against 129 245, ,S65 bushels last season, and 99,4l3,65i buhels in 1S9S-99.

Must Be Put Down.

Mrs. Ella A Bodies recent public state
ments prove the determination of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union to
down the liquor traffic. To quote Mrs.
Boole, she says In part:
"One has but to scan the daily and
weekly papers with mind open to con-
viction to see how drink is at the founda-
ton of most of the crime-anarchy, politi-
cal corruption and domestic unhappiness.
Not that all these people were drunk
when these crimes were committed, but
the use of liquors blunts the moral sense,
benumbs conscience, infames passion,
perverts manhood and curses womanhood
One reason for the apathy in the presence
of these appalling evils is the fact that
the masses of the people believe that they
arise not from the nature of the drink.
but from the weakness OF the drinker.
But the twentieth century scientist has
discovered that they have their source in
the nature of the drink, and while some
subjects are more susceptible than others.
either by natural or inherited tendencies,
evils are as sure to follow the use of alco-
holcs as night to follow day"

peasant does not have, yet his little
industry win and does give him as
large a percentage of what he wants

for a bitter winter; he needs no over

needs no barns of hay and grain to
feed his cattle through long winter.
