AS a result of the chanSeable climate,
, catarrh has become one OF the most
, prevalent and universal diseases known
to man Nearly one-third OF the people
of the United States are afflicted with
catarrl in some of its many phases and
stages Add to this the fact that ca
tarrh rapidly tends to become fixed or
chronic, also the further fact that it is
capable of producing a great many 9TH
er diseases, and we begin to realize the
true nature of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become that
in every city or town of any size num-
crous doctors are to be found who make
the treatment Of catarrh speciality.
OF course a great deal of good is ac-
compliShed in this way, but as yet
comparatively small number of the peo-
pie can avail themselves of this treat
ment because of the great expense ne
cessarily attached to 1t.

NEED OF PRACTICE.
"As the cities grow in population, our
young men become less and less accus-
toned to the skillful use of firearms,
Many u man nowadays dies in old age
without even SO much as firing rifle.
What chance would the most heroic yalor
of such an one have against trained
marksman firing from a mile away, with
the aid of telescope? None, whatever,
OF course. An encamDment aids in this
particular, by encouraging rife practice
and generous rivalry in excellence in
that most importnnt branch of a soldiers
duty Volunteers from the whole State
are there, and compare their skill. IN
deed some States offer perpetual trophies
to be shot for.
Another most inlportant result of a
camp is that organizations are brought
together and given a unity of feeling and
purpose not otherwise attainable.. Oftl-
GERS and men learn to know each other
and the regiment or battalion sees itself
a living actual entity.
AS TO DISCIPLINE.
again. men and officers are brought
under military discipline-they not only
learn how to do things-care for them
selves in the open-what the regulations
require them to do md what not to do,
but they learn to see the reasons for the
regulations. They also become familiar
with military forms, customs and cour-
tesles. Their whole time being given to
the task, the progress made is wonderful.
I'm addition, battalions and regiments
are brought together as a whole, and the
officers learn how Ito handle their men,
and the men learn how to be a part of a
great whole and yet net in unison. But
above all, officers and men learn by ac-
tual experience how to protect themselves
by a proper observance Of sentry and out
post duty-upon the intelligent discharge
Of which the safety Of the whole COM
mind may at any time depend-they learn
how TO challenge what to do in emergen-
cy; how to throw out proper advance
guards: how to form and police a camp
in short. they learn the soldiers duty by
experience instead Of theory, and be-
neye that ten days in cntno is worth a
year in the armory."

AMERICAN
WILL AID IN THE FIGHT

Pittsburg. Aug. 9.-Prcsident Sam
uel Gompers has pledged the American
Federation of Labor 10 the support of
the Amalgamatcd association. After
a conference with President Shaffer
lasting for the greater part of two
days he issued Il statement tonight
specifically u%phOlding the position of
the Amalgamated association and
pledging the moral and financial sup
port Of the Federation in the strike
against the United States Steel COrpu-
ration now in progress. His written
review of the train of events leading
up to the industrial quarrel sustains
the course of the Amalgamated assO-
citation and declares that nothing re-
mains for labor but to battle for the
cause of unionism.
In n lengthy statement issued by
President GOmpCTS he says:
1T appears that the company took
the position it did with an avowal
that II would not allow the extension
of the union TO non uniOnists. Such Il
position and nVOwal are tantnmOunt
to declaring that, Notwithstanding the
growth of the craft. the organization
had reached II status beyond which 1t
could not extend.
Organized labor advances or re-
ccdcs; never stands still. 1t therefore
follows that If the trust. by its great
wealth, can prevent the extension and
growth of the Amnlgamated ~ussocia-
ton, is encompasses its d"isintegration
ana destruction. The only powers
then standing between the trust and
the workers as Il protector are the ten
der mercies of its directors. Against
such a calamity the sense Of Justice
aud humanity revolt, and against II
we sOlcmnly protest.
I'VE shall stand by the Amalgamat-
ed association in the present conflict
10 the full extent of our power, both
morally and financially; we shall aid
In every lawful way the men ON strike
10 maintain the workers in their right
to organize and the extension of their
organization, so that the only power
which stands for their protection and
advancement against the nvurice of
concentrated wealth may be perfected
and ~perpctuatcd.'
