Every organ of the body is liable to

corresponding to the stage of the dis

When in the pharynx it causes hawk

produces hoarseness, and often loss OF

and bronchial tubes, cough, with abund-

Upon reaching the lungs catarrh

Plans Drawn For the New Line From
Omaha.

Omaha, Neb.. April 10.-The death Of
Captain W W. Marsh, one Of the pro-
moters of the proposed Omaha mporia
Air Line, caused a temporary delay in
action Of the others concerned in the
construction Of the road. It was, how
ever arranged today to push actively
the work of negotiating for capital in
Omaha and outside, with which to build
the air line. A visit was therefore made
to the Commercial club by a number of
the bankers who are back of the enter
prise, to request the club to fix a date
for a meeting of Omaha citizens to dis
cuss the matter.
At the meeting with the executive
committee Of the Commercial club the
proposed route of the new line was
shown. It will, if constructed according
to present plans, extend through the
counties Of Douglas, Cass. Otoe. Johnson
and Pawnee in Nebraska and the coun-
ties Of Nemaha, Marshall, Pottawatomie
Wabaunsee and Lyons in Kansas, being
an air line from the southern terminus.
Invitations will be issued by the secre-
tary of the Commercial club calling

HOW NEW YORK LIVES.

New York Press
All great cities are ''destructors" of
human beings and New York is no ex-
ception. The low rate of the city is de-
ceptive, for it results not only from the
healthfulness of the city but from the
fact that there is a continuous tide of
delicate people ebbing out of the city
and a great tide of the best men and
women Of the country flowing in Thus
do great cities like New York Paris or
London sap the vitality of nation. Yet
New York in this respect is not as bad
as London, for the presence of the rivers
and bays which encrcle Manhattan and
wash the shores of Brooklyn make pos
sible the obtaining by the inhabitants of
even the most crowded sections of the
city of a certain amount of pure air
containing at least a modicum of ozone
Several years ago a London physician,
starting with the theory that a high
state of vitality can be maintained only
where the air contains ozone, made eX-
aminations Of the atmosphere at seven
points in London, three of the points be-
ing public parks In only one place did
he find even a trace of ozone in the air.
The conditions In New York are much
better, but still there are sections of the
city where no ozone exists in the atmoS-
phere. So, with bad air, crowded quar-
ters, much noise and ever present
temptations to courses of vice which I'M
dermine the constitution, New York goes
on taking in from all over the country
her thousands upon thouands, squeezing
them dry and finging them back again.
doctor who has been Investigating
the conditions of life in New York de-
clares that there hardly exists such
thing as a New Yorker, whom he de-
fines to be a New York man born and
bred whose grandparents and parents
were born in the city and who lived here
all their lives. Perhaps some reader
knows of some such real New Workers,
but it is safe to say that they are not
common. The doctor found, however
two or three persons whose grandparents
came to the city from the country and
whose parents were born and lived in the
city. The proposition which this in
vestigator thought confronted him is
tbs: People in weak health would be
unlikely to have children who could live
beyond the years Of infancy, and there
fore if no fresh blood came in from the
country or from other countries, New
Workers would die out in the third gener-
alton. In other words. If all inlets were
stopped the population of Manhattan ISL
and would become extinct within seventy
or eighty years. But the inlets and exits
of the great city are open and working
all the time, and the crowd of the weak
and the MANNED leaving the city is jostled
by the army of the fresh and the strong
coming in to join the battle.

IN which 1t appears that the number of
postage stamps sent out for use during
the current fiscal year includes /, 300 O0O.
COO 1-cent stamps, $500, 700 2-cent
stamps, and 300 236, 900 of higher denonin-

year. an increase of over 800, 100000. Ii
is not easy to grasp the full significance
Of these stupendous totals few cal
culations may help. According to these
figures sufficient stamps will be issued
this year to supply every man, woman
and child in the United States with at
least sixty stamps each. Distributed
among the population of the entire globe,
they would supply each person with post

earth three times, forming variegated
