to Transact business,

Advices received at the War Depart
mcnt yes~ rday from Havana lhdl-
that General Wood is quite seriously III

belief that he is in danger, yet officials
are much concerned regarding his con-
dition. 1t is evident that his case has not
improved during the past four or five
days. Yesterday Secretary Root received
a letter from him dated July l, in which
he stated that he had been suffering
from a mild form of typhus for the ten
days proceeding.
Yesterday cablegTam was received In
regard to the trarsfer of an army Of
flcer. which indicated that General
Woods condition was such that lie could
not transact any business, and was not
able to be seen upon any public matter.
In case his illness continues, the Sec
retary of War will order Colonel Whit

mand in the island, now stationed az San

Probable That the Tariff VIII Be
Abolished August L.

the terms of the Foraker law. issue
a proclamation abolishing the tariff be-

stpart's Catarrh Tablets. the new Catarrh cure
has the following advantages over othei eatarrh
remedies.
First. These tablets contain no cocaine NOR
phins or any other injurious drug and are as
safe and beneficial cor children as for adults;
thi, ls an important. point when 1t is recalled
that many catarrh remedies do contain these
very objectlonal ingredients.
Next; Being in tablet form this remedy does
not deteriorate with age. or an exposure 10 the
air as llould preparations Invariably DO
Next: The tablet form not only preserves the
medicinal properties but It is so far more con-
venlent to carry and to use at any time that II Is
only p question of time when the tablet VIII en-
tIrely supersede liquid medicines as 1t has al
ready done in the medical department of the
United States army.
Next. No secret IL made OF the compost
tIon of stuarts Catnrrb Tablets; they con-
tain the active principle OF Eucalyptus bark red
gum blood root and Hydrastin, all harmless anti
septics which, however, are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they eliminate
them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure eatarrh by local appli-
cations 10 the nose and throat, because these are
simply local symptoms and such treatment can
not possibly reach the real seat OF catarrhal dis
ease whichis the blood; for thisreason. inhalers'
douches, sprays and powders never resii%% cure

one perspires more on the right side
Of the body than on the left, and that
the skin Of the palm Of the hand ex-
cretes four and half times as much
proportionately to the surface as the
skin OF the back. The pores in the
ridges Of the palm number az many
as 5000 to the square inch. They are
scarcest on the back. where there are
only 400 to the square inch These
pores are not simple holes OF perfora-
tions in the hide. as some imagine, but
are little pockets lined with the same
epithelium or pavement stuff that COW
ers the external OF the body. They
run straight down into the deepest
structure OF the skin, and there they
kink up and coil around till they look
like a fishing line that has been thrown
down wet. lnclosed In this knot are
little veins that leak the perspiration
through the walls of the tube. and it
wells up to the surface OF the skin.
II Is estimated that the average-sized
man has 100000 Of these sweat
glands. aggrcgating twenty-eight miles

OF building railroad between hani-

ago Mr. K Bell aud other Canadian

declared that It contained a great
abundance OF spruce and other Yain-

very little was known Of II until early
last summer when a number Of min

out on the proposed route to ascertaini "
the possibilities OF the country. There
was reason 10 believe that spruce
abounded and the main purpose Of
building the road was 10 secure large
supplies Of wood pulp FOR the paper
mills at Sault Ste. Marie. But i was
thought that investigation would re-
veal other important resources and
this belief is Justified BY the reports
now coming in. The prospectors say
that vast forests OF spruce, pine, hard
woods and other cedar lie all along the
route There are also great beds OF
pottery clay. iron ore, copper. gypsum
and other minerals besides millions OF
acres timbered with maple. beach and
