Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in Older to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh

Kerosene Oil Has Advanced.

Once again oil has advanced cent, and
the Standard Oil Company has this time
placed the tariff on refined kerosene. The
figure to jobbers will, with this advance,
be 1O4 cents per gallon. This is the high
est priced reached in Is years. This in
crease again illustrates how those who
control the output of oil are Selling the
opportunity to squeeze the public-rich
and poor alike. The consumption of oil
has increased enormously, both for heat.
ing and Illuminating purposes, owing to
the coal scarcity, and the Standard Oil
Company has advanced the price ip a
ratio corresponding to the increase.
The price of oil has been advanced two
cents since the beginning of the anthra'
cite coal troubles. What the advance will
be in the future none can tell. With oil
being used as substitute for fuel on
steamships and locomotives new mar
ket has been thus created which the Oil
Trust, which controls 80 per cent. of all
the petroleum produced in this country
will not be slow to take advantage of.
With oil at 1O4 cents to jobbers, it is
estimated that the resulting increase in
the income of the Standard Oil Company
will be no less that $4,000, 600 annually
on sales in this county alone. Stock
holders in the oil company received the
last quarterly dividends for 1902 on Mon.
day. The instalment was 10 per cent
amounting to $4,000, GOO, OOo Dividends
for the entire year were $45, 900, 900.

The Special Edition of the scientific
American" devoted to Transportation on
Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract wide
spread interest, both because of the very
handsome manner in which it is gotten
up and on account of the voluminous
amount of information that it contains.
1t is safe to say that anyone that reads
it carefully will find himself thoroughly
posted both as to the magnitude and high
quality of our railroads and shipping.
1.-THE Scientific American" has its own
characteristic way Of presenting what
some people might call dry statistical
matter in an interesting form, and the
present number is no exception to the
rule. Both artist and Editor have COLA
borated to certainly very good effect. and
we believe the number will meet every
where with a hearty reception.

But why these green things? Why

Why the holly about the windows

the laurel over the hcarthstone? Why
above all and the center OF all. these
green and living growths. the mistle.

Christmas seized upon these things
Tor the celebration OF the festival not

OF the power that held them green
that kept them alive. that preserved
in them the beauty of life notwith.

In the gracious protection that was

Those who celebrated the Christ.

power for their own protection and
preservation. so they took 10 them.

spirits behind the green were believed
IN by an imaginative people. and the
great festival adopted them.
The ancient Druids believed IN the
spirits of the holly. OF the laurel OF
the bay and of the great green trees
that formed the walls and living
arches Of their temples. To them these
things were pcopled with sylvan spir.

These beliefs have gone from the

them. and rejoice amid them al the

And therefore we deck our houses
to-day with the symbols of the simple
beliefs OF a long past age.
