MONEY FOR STATE.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture
Spends Day in Washington
to Save State $I,650.

Commissioner Koiner was In WaSn1n6.

more worthy of consideration when 1t IA
known that it is to be saved on postage

II comes about this way which IN 10
self is not without interest:
The Commissioner Issues bulletins quar-.
terly, or four editions a year, and at the
end of the year report for the enure
preceding twelve months. Heretofore the
bulletins and reports have been entered
at the postoffice here as flrst-ciass mat

10000 pamphIets-in all for the year, So.
co., Twenty thousand volumes OF the
annual report are also issued, and these,
like the bulletins, sent by mail 10
farmers in every section Of the StatS.
Until now the cost OF sending cut the
bulletins has been 500 an Issue for post
age alone, or $500 for the year. The re-
ports are large volumes. and they COST
five cents apiece to mail them. They
entail an expenditure CT $1,000 for mali
ing If Mr.. Koiner succeeds In his uIl-
dertaking he will get bulletins and re-
ports entered here as Second-class mat
ter. 1t will then cost to mail the bull
letins about SIS an issue, or So for the

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain highly
concentrated antiseptics, Red Gum, Blood
Root, etc. which kill the catarrh germs in
the blood and mucous membrane. and in
this respect are strictly scientific and
modern, because all authorities are now
agreed that catarrh Is constitutional

The use of inhalerS, touches and sprays
