All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use Of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste FORM.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes, causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membrane that their
makers have aimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titioner who has for many years made
a close study and specially Of the treat
ment of cATARRH, has at last per
fected a Treatment which when faith
fully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures cATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharges, and curing all inflammation.

What is Education ?

Education in its last analysis is an
effort to discover truth. 1t reaches
far beyond an accumulation and cor
relation of facts. In so far as it
deals with the facts it is a process,
the end of which is the discovery of
truth, of which facts are only the
expression. Truth is more than a
fact. It is that relation which per
meates all things, giving to all orders
unity, and bringing them into har-
mony with one supreme purpose.
The real scholar is more than a sci
enlist, he is more than a philosopher,
he is more than an artist; he is a
master. Facts to him are mere Incl
dents; the truth is the essence, and
his power lies not in information as
a possession, but in his mastery as a
ruler. Perfection is the product of
truth; never of falsehood. Where er-
ror enters stagnation sets in. What
ever of wrong there is to be correct
ed, whatever of right there is to be
attained, depends upon a loyalty to
truth. There is no severer bondage
than the bondage of error, no deeper
degradation than loyalty to false
hood. The great Teacher of men
pointed out the fact to the world that
truth is the mother of freedom. Of
the many forms of skepticism, there
is none to be more dreaded than the
fear of truth. Truth can never hurt,
and falsehood can never help. What
ever of creed or tradition or policy
or doctrine may be overthrow by a
larger discovery of truth, should be
overthrow, and a disposition to keep
out truth in order to perpetuate a
pet doctrine or scheme, is a surren-
der of all prospects and a repudia-
ton of all hope. Reverence may be-
come idolatry and cease to be a vir-
tue.-President John @. Kilgo of
Trinity College.

The Commanding General of the Army.

The Commanding General of the Army.
Lieutenant General Miles, the
Commanding-Genera of the army,
will retire for age next August.
Barring the unexpected his successor
will be Major General S. B. M.
Young, now President of the War
College, who in turn will be succeed
ed by Maori General Adna r. Chat
fee, now COmmander-in-C Chief in the
Philippines, but who has been order
ed home TO take command of the De-
partment of the East with headquar-
tiers at Governors Island. He in
turn will be succeeded by Major-Gen-
eral Henry G. Corbin, the Adjutant-
General of the army.
General Corbin is the senior Ma
jOr-General and ordinarily would be
selected as General Miles successor,
but in that case neither Young nor
Chaffee could enjoy the coveted hon
or of commanding the army, for both
retire before him. General Corbin
generously valves his rights, not to
stand in their way.
These three men-Corbin, Young,
Chaffce-havc lives worth the telling
if only to show once more that in
America a man can make of himself
what he pleascs. All three are the
sons of poor men; all three have
fought their way UP to the top from
the lowest round of the ladder by
their own efforts unaided by fortune
or influence; al three were denied
the. advantages of West Point; all
three have the respect of every Off
Ger in the army who is a graduate of

before the consolidation. The extra
expense is largely due to the trans
]portation of the pupils. To offset the
small additional expense the term is
considerably longer, the work much
better done, the high-school course
has been added, the schoolhouse is
much more sanitary, and the advan-
tage of transporting the children to
and from school, especially in bad
weather, can scarcely be estimated.
The consolidation idea is growing
rapidly in Kansas, and movements
to consolidate rural districts r now
under way in many counties in the
State.
EASING THE BURDENS OF LIFE ON
THE FARM
These are some of the main rea-
sons why farm life is more attract
i've in the West than it was a few
years ago. There are other minor
ones. With increasing knowledge
and intelligence the farmers are put
ting more of SCIENCE into their work.
Improved machinery is making the
teamwork lighter. The well-to-do are
establishing acetylene gas plants in
their homes, alternating the heavy
homework which falls to the lot of
the farmers wife. The gasoline en-
CINE, too, is supplying the place of
the city waterworks.
There will doubtless always be a
certain flow from the country to the
city. It should be so. The city needs
the vitality and strength of the coun-
try boy. But the rush from the farm
to the large centers of population,
to escape the hardships and isolation
which have been a part of farm life
in the past, will probably cease to a
great degree.

The people III ChC CLUES ASOA
towns generally have access to pub
lie or circulating libraries, but for
wears it has been a problem how to
extend the same privilege to the res
idents of agricultural communities.
The travelling library is designed to
solve this question. Any country ly-
ceum or club can secure a library of
fifty books, free of cost, by applying
TO the librarian in charge of the trav-
cling library, who is nov a State Off
Ger in Kansas. A library may be kept
in one community for six months if
desired. 1t is then returned to the
librarian, and another, containing an
entirely different assortment of
books, may be secured. One library
will furnish a winters reading to a
rural community.
In Kansas the club women inaugu-
rated this movement, but it proved
of such great benefit that after one
year the State Legislature took it up
and made it a State institution. 1t
now consists of upward of one hun
dred libraries, Of fifty books each,
and it is being added to as fast as
legislative appropriations become
available.
CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTRY SCHOOLS
The educational problem in rural
communities is still unsolved to a
great degree. Heretofore it has been
customary to send the more ambi-
tious children, whose parents could
afford it, to the graded school in
town after they have passed through
the district school, where perhaps
the school term was only five or six
months long. Sometimes this has
furnished a strong incentive to the
farmer to leave the country and move
to the town or city, in order that his
children may have the best in the
way of educational advantages.
While it is still a new idea to many
people, the consolidation of rural
schools bids fair to bring directly to
the farm the educational advantages
of the town. The plan has been tried
in a small way in Ohio, in Iowa, In
Kansas, and in other States, and it
has been remarkably successful. The
last Kansas Legislature passed a law
to make the plan general wherever
communities desire it, and Prof.
Frank Nelson, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, has made it
his special work to encourage the
adoption of the plan. Sup~erintend-
ent Nelson has become the apostle of
school consolidation in Kansas.
Several years ago four school dis
tricts around Lorraine, Ellsworth
County, Kan, were consolidated, and
a central school house was built at
the village of Lorraine. After the
consolidation three teachers did the
work which required four formerly,
and as the school was graded they did
it better. Some of the children lived
several miles from the CchOO1hOuSp

ROCHESTER FORD.

1t is the very highest compliment to
the Democratic party of Pima county
that it should be able to summon
Rochester Ford to it's service.
Is there anything of interest to the
people of this commonwealth that
Rochester Ford has not taken an active
part in? Is there anything remotely
indirectly or directly affecting the
public welfare of this community that
Rochester Ford has not been a contri-
butor sto?
Is there any matter, big, little or
small, affecting this community, it's
government, it's morals, it's peace and
order and prosperity that Rochester
Ford has no* been an active partici-
pant in?
Can any one say when Rochester
Ford ever failed to discharge his duty,
either to himself or the public?
Again we. say, that the very fact that
the Democratic party has been able to
summon to it's active service a man
like Rochester Ford is the very high
est tribute that can be paid to its
patriotism or to the character of the
men it has nominated for Office

scribe to platform on which the
Populists would consent to continue
W another campaign the twice-de-
feated alliance. And while he declares
that he will not be the candidate, he
labors necessarily to create conditions
that would render the candidacy of any
other man palpable absurdity. 1t is
obvious that if the Democrats and
Populists agree to pull together in
1904, Mr. Bryan must be the candi-
date.
But it is growing more probable ev-
cry day that the Democrats will aban-
don Populism and get together on a
platform which will not insult the
overwhelming majority O. the party
who are weary of socialism. Should
that hope be realized, the reorganized

His Solemn Oath.

A popular comedian tells story of
a waiter at a London restaurant who
was sadly given to drink. A party of
young men determined to reform him,
and one day they read to him an imag-
mary paragraph from a paper relating
a terrible accident In which an inebri-
ate in blowing out candle was killed
by the fame igniting the alcoholic
fumes of his breath. James pricked
up his ears at this and requested that
the paragraph might be read to him
again, which was done, to the evident
horror of the poor man, who imme-
diately went in search of a Bible
Returning with this, he expressed a
desire to take a solemn oath upon it,
bemoaned the fact that he had been a
sorry tippler and was bringing himself
to ruin and then swore that never
again so long as he lived would he at
tempt to blow out candle.

wretched home at night, after squan-
dering the weeks earnings in low de-
