Our Rich Gate.
Written For the Troy Daily Times.
By Walter J. Ballard.

Porto Rico, the pearl of the Antil-
les" is rightly named. 1t is a rich
gate" of opportunity through which A
merican enterprise and American ideas
(the worlds chief civilizer) are entering
to great advantage. No: only advan-
tage to ourselves, but equally 50 to the
natives of the island who are adapting
tn selves SO readily to the benefits Of
American rule. In what we have done
for Porto Rico so far we have been
building better than we knew" The
Gay is now upon Us on which we have
to take up the control and energizing
of another new people-the three isl
ands and numerous 1slets of the Danish
West Indies, only few miles distant
from Porto Rico If thought best by
the administration at Washington, all
we need do is to say to Governor Hunt
of Porto Rico and his American associa-
tes: "Your administrative territory is
enlarged" and the problem is practic-
ally solved at the start.
Porto Rico will also be of immense
value to us IS base of supplies and a
strategical point in connection with our
proposed isthmian canal through
which, in very few years, half the
commerce of the world will pass, and
by means of which the vigorous At
lantic will be welded to his tair Pacific
bride. When the day of that happy
marriage arrives Porto Rico will be
"best man" and Hawaii the charming
bridesmaid, while the newly uni.ed
waters will flow on to kiss their sister
of the Orient-the Philippines - not
forgetting little Guam on the way.
Leaving the future and turning to
the present, let us see how Porto kicn
is fitting herself for the responsibility
which viii undoubtedly be hers in the
near future. Is she making headway
along American lines of progress, or
only hanging on to us to be cared for
as if she were an unpromising child3

FARMERS ALONG CANAL ASK
DAMAGES OF GOVERNMENT

Farmers of Tampico and Hanna
man townships. near Sterling. whose
lands and crops were damaged by
water, which they allege was caused
by the sluices of the Hennepin canal
feeder not being properly built. took
their first definite steps Saturday to
file claims against the government for
damages. There is considerable red
tape" connected with the filing of
the claims and getting the matter be-
fore the court of claims.
The interested farmers, Peter Kel-
ly, EnOs Diller and Thesis Cortus, con-
tend that their crops were damaged
to the extent of $4,000. In order to
take the first steps.it is necessary
for the injured parties to appoint 4
board of appraisers. This board will
visit all of the farms in dispute, and
will appraise the amout of damage
done, and will then submit a sworn
statement TO the court of claims.
through the attorney of the plaintiff
To get this before the court would
probably require three months time,
and possibly longer. The result of the
proceedings will be watched with con
siderable interest. as il is rumored if
these parties are successful other
claims will be filed.

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY

Or at Least Everyone Who Suffers From
Catarrh.
Catarrh in its various forms is a
national disease, and the fact that
nearly everybody suffers from it
more or less leads many to neglect its
proper treatment.
Nasal catarrh is a common cause of
headaches, destroys sense of smell.
and if neglected reaches the throat,
causing impairment and sometime :
total loss of voice. Bronchial catarrh
leads easily to consumption. Catarrh
of stomach and liver are very serious
and obstinate troubles, while it is
now generally admitted that catarrh
is the most common of all causes of
deafness.
All the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the
local symptoms being a profuse dis
charge, stOppage of nostrils irri;a-
ton and frequent clearing of the
| throat, sneezing, coughing and gag
ging.
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhalers. sprays, saIves, etc.
simply gives temporary relief, and ev-
eryone who has used any of them
knows how useless they are and their
inconvenience is such that very few
have the time or patience to con
tinue their use.
a radical cure of catarrh can only
be obtained from n treatment which
| removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood, because no one will now dis
pute that catarrh is n constitutional
or blood disease, and local applica-
tions can have no effect except to
temporarily relieve local symptoms.
| 4 new remedy which has been re-
! markably successful in curing ca
/ tarrh is a pleasant tasting tablet
which is taken internally and acts
\ upon the blood and mucous mem
4 branes.
j 1t is composed of antiseptic rem
1 edies like red gum, blood root and
i similar cleansing specifics which
1 eliminate the catarrhal poison from
/ the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the
i taste are dissolved in the mouth and
i thus reach the throat, trachae and
i finally the stomach and entire ali
/ mentary canal. They are sold by
druggists everywhere under the name
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
i If desired, when there is much
stoppage of the nose, the tablet may
be dissolved in warm water and used
as douche in addition to internal
use, but douche is not at all neces.
sary. a few dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. DIR. Ainslee
says: THE regular daily use OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets taken inter
nally will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the in
convenience of a douche or an in
haler.''
j They seem to give a healthy tone
to the whole mucous membrane anC
it is really remarkable how soon they
will clear the head and throat of thu
unnatural and poisonous catarrha
secretion.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is un
doubleday the safest, most palatabl'
) and certainly the most efficient ant
convenient remedy for any form O
catarrh.
