| CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause. Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache Is a symptom, an indication of Arrangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is dkficult to locate because SO many diseases have headache as prominent symptom; de- engagement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble. kidney disease, lung trouble. eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be e much simpler matter.
 However. for that form of headache called frontal headache. pain back of the eyes and in forehead. the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head, and throat; when the headache is located fin back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh Is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappear ance of the headaches.
 There is at present no treatment for ca- tarrh so convenient and effective as stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti septfcs like red gum, blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes stuarts catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: q suffered daily from severe frontal head ache and pain in and back of the eyes. at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. I had suffered from catarrh, more or less for years, but never thought it was the cause of my head aches. but finally became convinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever I had cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
 "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas ant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty cent boxes which procured from my druggists. I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and head aches had gone for good"
 Stuart's Cat1rrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, un- der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures) no opium (,o common in cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal diseases.

THE BENEFIcENT RESULTS OF
 IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.

At a recent Farmers Convention, the State Engineer of New York delivered a sensible and timely address. The follow profit in our own State by every advo- cate for the improvement of our public roads:
 It is a query if the use of the electric trolley and a perfected system of ma cadam roads throughout our State which will permit of hauling the largest of loads from the farm to the market on any day of the year, whether the season be wet or dry these roads furnishing the opportunity for rural free mail de- livery, will almost. if not quite, revolu- tionize the agricultural portion of our State. With these conditions brought about the mechanic can live several miles from the manufactory and have a farm consisting ef 5. 10 or more acres upon which his family will be raised. they hav- ing the benefits of the mail twice a day, the daily newspaper, and the advantages Of quick and cheap transportation to the village or city, either by electric car, bicycle or automobile, AS the case may be; thus relieving the eongested districts that are now occupied by tenement houses in the larger cities bringing our farms to higher sr6te of cultivation and schooling the farmers children, both the boys and the girls, for higher sphere in life than tl.ey have been able to attain heretofore with the farms isolated by reason of bad roads. ] do not think that ] am stating it too strongly when I eX- press the belief that the influences exerted by these means for the future develop ment of our State are greater than any that have been brought to bear from the nations birth to the present time.
 The improvement of the highways of our country is the greatest problem the people have to solve in connection with the whole system of transportation We are appropriatins millions of money for building canals and railroads, yet 95 per cent, of all the material that passes over our canals and railroads must in the first the highways. In connection with our canals we are doing an immense work we are still appropriating money and making them efficient; our railroad cor porations are eXpending huge fortunes in reducing grades and making their roads straight and smooth; steamboat com panies are eXpending great sums in en- larging the capacity of their ships and in- creasing their speed What does all of this avail if we. who are to be the most benefited, do not undertake some se1si- ble system on business basis for build ing and maintaining in wise manner, the common roads Of the country? When this has been done and when that good time comes tand it is sure to come as tomorrow's sun Is to risel then will our boys be willing to stay on the farm and our daughters be willing to brcome farm CTS wives; the isolation of farm life will then have passed away, and instead of our boys and girls leaving the farm tu go into the crowded cities more will be willing to go from cities to the farms then we win have free mail delivery and the telephone, and We will be the happy and contented people that th Almig htY Attended we should oe when gave Us this rich and beautiful heritage.

inch than all the robber tarim laws ever passed by the Republican party. The av- craze Alabamian is big hearted and gen. erous to a fault and he loves his friends as devoutly as he hates his enemies For some reason he has formed a strong at- tachment for one or more members of the canine family and he would leave the State rather than lose his dog. You may tax the old muley COW and the blind mule and levy a burdensome tax on the neces- saries of life, but there is a limit and woe to the legislator who so far forgets himself and his duty to posterity as to go on record in behalf of mutton and better schools and opposed to the sheep killing cur

OUR sLovENLY SOLDIERS.

General Davis's severe restrictions upon our soldiers and their officers in the Phil irpines on account of carelessness in dress courtesies and discipline which he too generously attributes to the effect Of tropical climate. is causing much com ment in Washington. and there Is sur prise that Generals in command in the United States have not heretofore dealt more especially with the general sloven- liness of regular soldiers.
 The lack of courtesies and discipline IS some thing the public is not supposed to be acquainted with but the disregard of our soldiers for mere tidiness is too mo- torious and too objectionable to be dis missed in 8 paragraph or two in an ofii- cial report.
 The American soldier Is the world over accounted the most untidy and slovenly of all civilized soldiers, even the French and Italian soldiers, with their huge bagey trousers with ridiculously narrow bottoms, being requiped to keep their blouses buttoned and not display soiled shirts The British Is the tidiest and smartest of all being always close-but- toned, with his shoes highly polished, little stick in his left hand, and his cap jauntily poised on the right side of his head If he were seen otherwise by one of his officers he would be courtmartialed and punished
 But the soldiers of our regular army slosh and slob along. types or utter un- tidiness, and since the abolition of the canteen in the interest of temperance they are frequently seen intoxicated and in charge of policemen. It is positively mournful

News ana Gossip ef Washington
BY Luc1EN JULIEN WALKER.

Washington, Dec. 5.-(special.)-of course it was inevitable that there would be show of ears in the House over the proposition to pay the expenses of the anthracite coal commission.
 One Of the Republican speakers declared that the Presidents action to end the coal strike was one of the "boldest" acts in the history of the executive. That is true, and 1t is also true that the Presi- dent had no actual warrant of statutory law for taking such step; but he did have. as MT. Cannon go forcefully pointed out. the overwhelming authority of public sentiment. I sometimes think" |" the speaker of the next House continued that just and righteous public senti- ment coming up from the whole country of s0,00o.00O which begets action, is for the express purpose 1t represents larger than the constitution"
 Certain 1t Is that the Presidents ac- ton averted what promised to be appall- ingly calamitous conditions and saved the public from incalculbale suffering and the loss of uncouutabie millions of money It will surprise the country perhaps that there are members o1 Congress who were unwilling to vote the $6O,000 asked for to meet the expenses of the commission. One Democrat in particular, who. as . sort of travesty upon great history, is on the roll of the House as MT. Benton of Mis- souri, talked more nonsense than any one else, saying in vainglory: 'I know that to refer to the constitu- tion is to place myself in the role of a back number. Nevertheless I do have respect for the constitution and the laws, and I do not approve of this sort of pro- ceeding.''
 That borders very closely upon the spacious pleading of self-righteousness But ample explanation is found on page 62 of that sometimes interesting and always amusing volume of antobiogra phy. the Congressional Directory. There we discover that 'Maecenas E. Benton, Democrat. of Neasho, Fifteenth Missouri District"
 "Is the original offensive partisan charged with 'pernicious activity in poli- tics." he having been United States Dis trict Attorney from March 1885 to July. lSs9.'
 So MT. Benton is one of the chaps whom Mir. Cleveland honored and then was forced to rebuke, and he is so proud of having violated the law and the instruc- tions of his official superior that he must needs boast in an official publication of being the very first man to fall short of his duty. Mir. Benton Is a native of Tennessee, is 53 years old, and does not make 1t appear that he is of the blood. or family. of the illustrious Missourian whom we know in history as bearing the name Benton.

attention to the effort made to claim for Texas, the birthplace of the late Tom Ochiitree. New York paper. The Times, says the colonel was born in ''Nacogdoches parish, Texas" The Advertisers claim In favor of Sumter County. Alabama, is in danger.
 The above was sent to an old citizen of sdmter County with request for in- formation and in reply the following was received:
 Replying to your letter can state that Judge W. R. DeLoach informs me that W. B. Ochiltree told him, in 1885 in the city of Marshall, Texas, that his son Tom was born in Sumter County.
 Judge DeLoach and his brother Dr. DeLoach met the old gentlemen at the time mentioned and the latter was elated to meet old citizens of Sumter. During the interview the above information was given and I think 1t is correct.

THE ARMY CAlNTEEN.

This question of the canteen, about which there always rages bitterness that is far from sanity is to be threshed out again in Congress this winter.
 Every officer of authority in the army has in recent reports borne eloquent and startling testimony to the monstrous evil inflicted upon the soldiers by the Con- gressional act abolishing the canteen and leg vins the men the prey of foul and in- famous groggeries which flourish just out side the limits of military reservations and supply the soldiers with poisons the chief ingredient of which Is wood alco- insanity where 1t fails to kill the body.
 The increase in the death-rate. insan- ity and crime in the army since the harm less canteen was abolished has been ap- pailing Yet good women, ignorant of the conditions, have begun already to flood Congress with pathetic petitions, praying that the soldier be saved from the eanteen."

 We are yet as a people to learn the pre- else bearing of extreme tariff legislation upon the industrial prosperity of the country. Five years of experience under a particular tariff determine nothing and ten years of experience cannot be held conclusive as to Its enduring prosperity producing effects. It will probably be seen by everybody before many more de- cades have passed that panics and indus trial depressions result from waves of excessive speculation and that high tariff enactment, in fostering speculative commitment on an artificial loaning, as 1t certainly does. tends to produce the not to avert them.
