The New Centennials.

No one doubts that the st. Louis
Worlds Fair will be a magnificent dis
play, but, wholly apart frC.n its merits
as an exposition, it is likely to render
this country an important service.
Hitherto our centennials have, gen
orally speaking, commemorated mill
tary or political events. The first
Congress met in IVA, our independ-
ence was declared in 1776. Yorktown
was taken in 1881. the Constitution
was adopted in 1887, Washington was
inaugurated in 1889, and each of these
landmarks was recognized hundred
years later. Undoubtedly this was
proper and patriotic. and none of these
great chapters in our history should
be forgotten.
The coming Exposition, however,
marks the great feature wherein the
nineteenth century surpassed the eigh-
teenth. New things began to chal-
lenge the old order of war and polit
tics. The vast Louisiana territory
was peaceably acquired, not won by
force of arms. In 1903 the St. Louis
Worlds Fair will observe the hun
dredth anniversary of a peaceful trans
fer. This may lead to appropriate
NOlu llltlliOl dllOnS VI ullpll steam
boat, of Stephenson's locomotive. of
the early public school experiments,
of gas, electricity. anRsthesia,
and the many triumphs of the cen
fury that has run its course. We
know the nineteenth century well
enough to grumbie over its faults,
but it was vast improvement upon
its predecessor.
Every act of military prowess in
the eighteenth century can be matched
in the nineteenth. Trafalgar and
Waterloo. Buena Vista and Sebastopol,
Gettysburg and Gravelotte, Manila
and Santiago, prove that there was
good fighting at the beginning, middle
and end. But was not the prom
inent feature of the age. Many swords
were beaten into plougshares. In
dustrial improvements, schools, hos
pitfalls. a general advance along the
line, cheer the student as he looks
back on the hundred years between
the death of George Washington and
the close of the nineteenth century

to Mr.. Lothrop's story. He was an
Irishman.
Sure, couldn't tell whether he's
one of our men, or not" he said. But
there's a lot of them living with their
families up in the shanties near the
woods. I'll have Tony go over with
you. He speaks English. Where is

to say. Tony did what no one else had
done so far-he began to cry. 1t was
what Mr. Lothrop had felt like doing
for the last four hOurs-but he hadn't.
He turned to the undertaken:

bang-up funeral"
The man looked at him curiously.
Certainly, sir" he responded
Mr.. Lothrop counted out five TWEEN

Tony: For the wife and children" he
said. He put a small roll in the
Italians horny hand. Then he walk

the line was coming in. Mr.. Lothrop
boarded it and settled himself in the
seat. AS he passed the spot where

operators, "and was going to have. a

Another operator spoke to the first

Maybe you're right" said the other
operator. Il always said if he was

But Mr.. Lothrop's face told nothing

that his fellows could not understand

Miss Bertha l.. Kay, just re-

gave recital last night under the
auspices OF the Young People Of the
Baptist church. The opera house
was well filled, and the young de

style. Her recital OF 'Helen Damre,"
which is full of pathos and dramatic
power, was given with a finish and
attention to detail which showed care.

several encores. Miss Kay has a well.

powerful. has pleasing charm OF in

audience to the end.
Other numbers on the program add.

Some Suggestions on How to
Advertise

Do you know that many lines of
business can be easily doubled? In
place of spending a whole lifetime
making a fortune, do It in half the
time and half the other half to see
the world.
How? First, by letting the world
know that you are doing lots Of busi-
ness In your line, and then people will
naturally want to go where the busi-
ness is being done and deal with
successful people
Second, tell the people OF the good
things you can do for them, the good
your business will do them, and tell
them Of the progressive methods you
employ for their benefit.
The world wants the best and will
go to the man who offers It in the
most attractive manner. Humanity
needs your best service whether you
be In bank, merchandise, manufac.
turing, brokerage or real estate.
Tell the world OF the bargains and
the advantages there are in coming to
Salem to trade, to buy homes, to do
business, and tell them of THE AID.
VANTAGE OF COMING TO YOU
AND DEALING THROUGH YOU.
The man who sits in his place OF
business and waits to get his share
OF business will grow old waiting for
1t. He may by penuriousness save
something in a long lifetime. But he
has never made a fortune.

Medicines

Catarrh is the short route to con.
sumption, and the Importance of early
and judicious treatment Of catarrh.
whether located in the head, throat
or bronchial tubes, cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
The list OF catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numer.
Gus and confusing, from sprays, in.
halers, washes, ointments, and salves
10 powders, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies It is almost entirely a matter
of guess work as to what you are TAX
ing into your system, as the propri.
etors, while making all sorts Of claims
as to what their medicines will do,
always keep II a close secret as to
what they are.
The success and popularity Of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because II not
only cures catarrh, but because ca.
tarrh sufferers who used these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be
ing composed of Red Gum, Blood
Root and similar valuable and anti
septic ingredients, and are pleasant to
the taste and being dissolved In the
mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucuous lining Of the throat
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases Of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advan'
tage Of knowing what you are putting
into your stomach is of paramount
when 1t Is remembered !
that the cocaine or morphine habit
has been frequently contracted as the
result OF using secret catarrh rene !
lies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with .
cordial approval from physicians, be
'ause their antiseptic character rem
lers them perfectly safe for the gen.

Some one asks why the growing
generation of women have so much
more slender underplnning than their
fair predecessors? The X-Ray man
is not an authority on the matter, as
his observations range more to other
topics. But Il is probable due to the
same processes as dlshgure the feet Of
Chinese women. The elastic garter
is every whit as bad as Chinese foot
binding. Foot-binding disfgures the
foot alone, while the elastic garter
stops the flow of blood to the lower
part of the limb, and, as a result, there
is constant failure TO develop that
part Of the limb below the knees. The
muscles are shrunken and lose their
fullness and rotundity. The ankles
are weakened The feet are cold.
Hence our women have beautiful
arms, but beanpole too often toward
the lower extremlties. We know this
is rank heresy, and will cause some TO
discontinue their subscriptions TO this
paper. but 1t is just as true of the man
who wears the elastic garter about the
calf of his leg. In the case Of the wo-
man II Is much worse, because many
of the magazine advertisements rep
resent them as wearing the elastic
garter above the knee. But above the
knee-or below the knee, the elastic
garter is unhygienic, and should be
forbidden by law. Here is a chance
for some member Of the Legislature
to distinguish himself
