A FEW REASONS
Which are Rapidly Making New Catarrh
Cure Famous

S.uart'S catarrh Tablets. the new
C@tarrh cure has the following ad-
NJut?gtS over other Cdtarrh remedies.
FIRST: These tablets contain no 60
c#inc, morphine or any other injurious
Grlt" and dre AS safe and beneficial for
chilren rs for adults this is an i'm
portant point when it is recalled that
many catarrh remedies do contain
these very Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this rem
cd} ioes not deterioratt with age, or an
"Nlpsure I" the air as liquid prepara-
ucrs invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
:-lvcS the medicinal prnpriaties but it
Is 50 far more cCnvenient to carry and
tn use at any time that il is only a
question of time when the tablet will
entirely superspdc liquid medicines as
il has already done in the medical de-
rartment of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the com
position Of StuartS tatarrh Tablets:
they contain the active principles ~
tucalyptuS bark. red gum. blood root
and HydraStih. all harmless antiscptics
which. however. are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found. hecallse They
eliminate them from the blood
Next: You can not cure "atafrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarrh-
al disease which is in the blood for
this reason. inhalers, douches. sprays
and powders never really cure catarrh.
Dut simply give temporary relief
which q dose of plain salt and water
Will do just as well.
Catarrh must he driven out of the
system. out of the blood. by an inter
nal remedy because an internal remedy
il the only kind which can be assim-
Hated into the blood.
StuartS Catarrh Tablets do this bet
tes than the old form Of treatment be
cause they contain every safe specific
known to modern science in the anti
septic form Of the disease
Next: The use Of inhalers. and spray
ing apparatuses. besides being in
effective and disappointing, is expen-
'sive. while a complete treatment of
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets can be had at
any drug store in the United States and
Canada for so cents. l0-l2-l4

Gambling.

The writer once spent Saturday
afternoon In the study Of dignitary or
the church while the ecclesiastic strug-
gled in vain to frame an argument
against gambling to be presented to the
congregation on the morrow. He aban-
doned the attempt. Far be it from a
literary journal to assert powers the
possession of which the professionally
religious are fain to disclaim, yet with
submission we even venture to believe
that at least one cogent and effective
argument lies against all forms Of gam
bling-one. namely, based on the truth
that wealth, great or small. is trust
and therefore may not be put in risk.
The moralist may declare that the
gambler gets, or at least wants to get.
something for nothing. Men will laugh.
They know better. The winner gave
his chance to lose for his winnings.
For his losses the winner got his
chance to win. But ask the Spectator
whether he would gamble with trust
funds held by him for~orphans and
then suggest to him the one great truth
that is selling hold Of mems conscience,
the most hopeful sign in these perplex-
ed days Of social unrest, that men are
trustees of all that they call their own.

1t is an interesting fact that, what
ever the reason may be, life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. III
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number Of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere proyi-
sion for the families Of the insured.
The scope of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly enlarging. A nov
ell and Interesting recent development
of it is the insurance of the lives Of
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.

FOR SMALL INVESTORS.
Patience and Push the Sure Way ia
Profitable Poultry Business.

Poultry and egg raising Is eminently
adapted to the person with small capl-
tai who IS anxious that the investment
pay without running too great risk.
One may begin in the most humble
way In poultry raising, and then gradu-
ally increase the size of the plant as
conditions warrant. 1t Is really case
Of learning n business while slowly in
vesting capital In 1t. And this Is really
the best and most sensible way Of ap-
preaching the business. To start in
with all the capital invested at first,
and then learn later by bitter expert
ence, Is just the way to get discour-
aged and find that there Is no money
IN the business.
With the smallest amount of capital
one can go into the business, especially
If there Is a suitable place at hand for
the work. One can rent a small poul-
try farm and then learn by experience.
even raising fruits and vegetables the
first few years to help pay the expenses
Of living. Ultimately, however, the
ambition should be placed on chicken
and egg raising for the purpose of mas
tering it as n speciality.
Let enc begin with 80 hens and find
out The first season what can be done
with that number. From this stock he
can prepare his next seasons increase
without further calling upon his capt.
tai. By method of exchange of eggs
with nelghbors near or distant new
blood can be introduced, ard there will
not DO much danger Of close inbreeding.
In many places there is a regular
system of exchange of eggs In this way,
and at very little expense new breeds
are constantly being added. From the
so hens of the first season the flock
can be increased to 200 for the second.
If you have been successful with the
90. you are probably prepared the sec
ond year to handle 200, especially IL
proper houses and yards have been pre-
pared in advance. That is very essen
tial. and throughout the whole devel-
upment Of the business never neglect
to increase the quarters Of the hens
and chickens IN proportion to their in
crease In numbers.
With plenty Of accommodations and
ner might well increase his stock to
500 for the third year. The fourth
year he might go up to 100 or 500 and
the fifth season round out the business
with an even 1000. When you have
reached that number. the plant is
pretty good sized one, and its further
increase must be made gradually. There
are poultry farms Of 5000 and 10000
hens. but the owners have learned by
careful experience how to handle such
numbers In the most economical way
Any beginner, Of course. can grow up
10 such proportions II he has the push
and 30 aud the good business common
sense which enables him to raise and
sell to the best possible advantage.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY GIRL.

Denver Times.
She is plastic and elastic and can trip the
light fantastic in style enthusiastic
with abandon that is rare.
She is sweetness and petiteness in bunch
OF great completeness and she keeps
us at her feetness in q manner debo-
nair.
She can daily on the ally with ten pins
and make q tally, and the boys
around her rally when she's out upon
the links.
And she'll patter round and chatter on
most any weighty matter, but she's
talking through her hat-her little
thinker never thinks.
Oh, she's happy when she's frappe and is
throwing bright and snappy bits OF
Chillkoot pass at chappy, freezing out
the spoony boys.
And the measure OF her pleasure in her
never ceasing leisure is a little world
OF treasure in unmitigated joys.
She'll abuse you and amuse you and both
well and i'll she'll use you, and she'll
finally refuse you, tho heartbroken
you implore;
But don't bother-get another-be con-
tent to be her brother, for she likes to
see her mother hopping up the
kitchin floor.
