been presented in the shape of printed
tables. and the chart presented by
Secretary Byers was much more COM
prehensive. as the standing Of the diff

glance.
In the matter of light and fuel, the

coal used instead. In the matter of
beef. staple products and liquor, Massil-
lon was lowest, the cost of liquor being
but 13 cents per capita. The low rate
on staple products is undoubtedly due
to the large amount of stuff raised on
the farm.
The question of furnishing tobacco to
the inmates of the state institutions was
discussed at some length. Some of the
members taking the stand that 1t was
an unnecessary expense and that the
weed should not be furnished by the
state. Others, however. were of the
opinion that the cutting off of the sup
ply would be rather cruel. as the in
mates of the institution were not there
of their own choosing and in many
cases tobacco was the only comfort
they had.

gives a very good idea of how that block
appeared 65 or 70 years ago
No. 1, where l.. Sollman has his drug
store. and c. r. Spanagel his harness
shop, is the same frontage where the
late John Reed for so many years re-
sided, and carried on the business of
making saddles and harness in the front
part, while the family occupied the
back part. and the upstairs as a resi-
dence. The building that Mr.. Reed built
and occupied so long was a two-story
brick, occupying the same frontage as
the brick that now stands there, but
that building has since been torn down
and the present one erected and that
is the only complete building since put
up on the whole block for many years.
When Mr.. Reed carried on the saddle
business many side saddles for ladies
were used, both in town and in the
country; It was quite a common thing
in those days to see women coming in
from their country homes with the
horn of their saddles laden with baskets
or bundles of produce for sale or ex-
change at the stores for goods. Such a
sight to-day would attract much at
tention. but then 1t was an every day
occurrence. 1t also was quite custom
in those days with well to do people
when their daughter got married to pre-
sent them with side-saddle. and u
spinning wheel was also much in vogue
in those days as a present to young
house-keepers; but that is all out OF
fashion. Mr.. w. w. Reed Mrs. Henry
Buckius, Mrs. Harriet Mccall, yet liv-
ing In Canton are children of John Reed.
and the late John r. Reed. and the wife
of the late John p. Rex were children
of John Reed.

and occupied while by the late George

eighty years ago, when Canton was but

The people who live in low, swampy countries seem to take it for granted that Malaria, Fevers and Ague are nec- essary evils.

These intermittent levers, malaria, fever and ague, swamp fever, jungle fever. etc., are the most persistent enemies of the human race. If the aggregate of harm they do could be realized, they would be fought as plaques.

AsToR PLANS NEW HOTEL.
palatiaI Apartments to Replace His
 toric Mansion.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 William Waldorf Astor has prepared plans for the largest and most palatial family apartment hotel on Manhattan Island. It will occupy the entire block bounded by Seventy-eighth and Seventy Ninth streets. Broadway and West End avenue, on which is the historic Vanden- heuvel Mansion.
 Plans for the Astor structure, which will be the third modern family apart ment house to be erected by W. W. As tor within three years, have been com pleted. but Mir. Astor has not yet given the word to begin work on the site He is In no hurry, for he does not care to have the structure completed before the sub way rapid transit line Is in operation at Broadway and Seventy-ninth street. This will be connected underground with the great central court of the big hotel
 This court will be the remarkable fea- ture of the structure. The area of the block to be covered will be the largest yet devoted to one structure. It fronts 250 feet on Broadway and West End av- enue ana 200 on the streets. The structure will surround a hollow square court in which will be a garden and a large foun- tain. Driveways will enter the court from the avenues. The court will be terraced from two levels. and the end for trades men from the West End avenue side will be so depressed as to be practically invisible from the main court, and also from the windows of the structure.
 The building will be nine or more stories high. and will cost over $500, 900. The architectural endeayor will be to provide spacious apartments, rather than a multitude of rooms. This will rank the hotel among the most exclusive struc- lures of its type, and rentals for single apartments will run as high as s10.0O0.
 The old mansion now on the block has been a famous landmark. It was built in 175e by Cornelius Vandenhuevel, Gov ernor of DemeIar All of the material was imported from Holland. and was the very best of colonial days. The property came into Astor possession through the original John Jacob Astor, who married Miss Gibbs, a granddaughte- of Governor VandenhueveL

WILLING TO PAY
S1o,soo for Two Postage Stamps From
 Mauritius Island.

From the Denver Republican.
 If any of the good people of Denver can discover among their old letters one bearing a stamp issued by the govern ment of the Island of Mauritius in 1S4O in the denomination of one shilling they can make an elcellent bargain with J. M. Martels of Boston, land Carl Milladt of Baden, Germany, philatelists, who are at the Brown Palace hotel. MT. Milladt is one of the leading stamp dealers of Ger many. He is among the first of foreign philatelists to visit America on business. Aside from the routine of business in connection with his trip MT. Milladt is in search of a Mauritius stamp of the issue mentioned. Among the collection, valued at $70,000, which the gentlemen have with
 them is one of the stamps of that issue,
 which is valued at $50OO. There are not
 more than four or five of them in ex-
 istence, but three of them have been To-
 cated. MT. Milladt is anxious to secure
 another of the same issue, as he will then be able to fill an order placed with him
 by an eccentric German philatelist who wishes to add the pair to his collection. For pair he is to pay 15,000 thalers,
 equivalent to S10,S00 in American money.
 '"The iEerest in philately in America is
 very keen at the present time" said MT. IodTtciS ldSI ulSHl, anu many pTOulln-
 ent men in all walks of life include among
 their belongings valuable collections of stamps. Naturally the collection of post
 age stamps Is characterized by many peo-
 pie as a fad CT hobby, but there are
 enough people ridding the hobby to make it profitable. Many collections are worth
 several thousands of dollars. We philate- lists figure that a man can scarcely leave his family more valuable heritage than good collection of stamps The collect ! ing of stamps is an attractive occupation,
 and the laynan will hardly appreciate the seductiveness of a collection which
 has grown from few hundred specimens
 of the commoner varieties to one which numbers complete sets of Ysrious issues. There are, of course. personal connec- tions which lend to many specimens a value higher than their intrinsic worth. | but like everything else that is perma nent, the stamps after all have an in- | trinsic value regulated by their capacity" stamp collectors society Is being formed in this city in which Charles Mast l and other local philateists are interest 1 ed If possible arrangements will be
 made within the next few years to have | at Denver convention of philatelists,

Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit it-not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood foi years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap. pearance -or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna. nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestage of 1t driven out. This s. S. S. does, and Is the only medicine that can reach deep, seated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns.
