n n OST people think catarrh is a
NI disease confined to the head and
A'A nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is SO it is so only because
these parts are more exposed to the
icissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.
The following letter which gives the
experience of Mr.. A. C. Lockhart is a

The Un-to-Date Baby.

It isn't correct any more to have
things daintily pretty. It is no longer
the proper thing to swathe the little
body in yards and yards of muslin and
lace, and put him in bed with pillows
of down and silk, perfumed with rose
or violet. Up-to-date mothers no long
err vie with each other on the point OF
delicate elaboration. They do not vie
any more at all. Their one object is to
make everything as sanitary ad COM
Portable as possible for the newcomer.
Sometimes they give a sigh for the
pretty bow or frill Of lace, but, after
all, everything in the new fashion looks
so clean and sensible and wholesome
they come to see the other was only a
perverted taste, and take no pleasure
in it. Things have advanced in the las1
few years. The nursery is one of them

For Her sisxer,s Sake.

Stendal, Ind, March 10th. Mrs. Sarah
A. Shrode of this place says:
IL suffered much as many other wo.
men do with Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. tried many medicines, but
got no relief until used Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"Nine boxes OF this remedy cured me
completely, and feel it my duty to my
fellow women to make this statement.
IT can heartily recommend them to
any woman suffering with Kidney and
Bladder Ailments"
The good words of Mrs. Shrode will
be good news for many of her suffering
sisters. Dodds Kidney Pills have prov
en- themselves to be sick women's best
friend, for they are as effectual In all
cases of Female Weakness as in Blad'
der and Kidney Disease.

1T requires something more than
nerve to be successful beggar," said
the old crippled man. "The asking
for aims is the least part of the profess
sion. People think because we ask
every passerby for something that we
expect each to contribute. This is the
reverse of the story. We know pretty
well as soon as man or woman
heaves in sight whether we can look
for lift or not. We study humanity.
we get so we can tell from the face
what the inclination of the person is.
LAS not every cynic looks sour, 80 every
beneticent person does not wear his or
her heart on her sleeve. In fact, we
get more FROM the sour-looking peo-
pie than from those who are gay.
Those who are gay are usually broke,
and If they are not they are too busy
figuring on having good time with
heir money to help beggar out.
Business men are generally easy
marks, because they would rather give
up than be detained with the harrow
ing details of how the arm or leg or
eye was lost in a terrible wreck. Grab
one when he is in hurry, and he will
part with a coin nine times out of ten
rather than miss the engagement,
even if it be a lunch appointment.
Children, contrary to general belief,
are poor givers. In the first place,
their nickels are few and far between
as rule, and in the next place they
are usually in rush to get to the
nearest candy store and spend it.
Women, too, pass us by. Whether
they expect the men to do all the Civ
ing, or whether they dread contact
with suffering, know not, but 1 do
know that few women contribute.
But by far the bulk of the money
which is given to beggars comes from
the middle classes, and this, perhaps,
is due to their knowledge of, and &C
quaintance with suffering themselves.
Most of them have had more of the
ups and downs than come to the very
rich, and they have a fellow feeling
for us. They are the ones who stop
and listen to the story we have fixed
up. We reach them at once, and very
yarely fail to land them.
.''By the way, if the man is good
artist at his story and knows the
game, begging is not such an unprotit-
able business after all. AS means
of earning living it beats several OF
the trades all hollow. The proceeds
do not seem large to the casual OBJ
server, but when you figure up at the
end of day beggar who cannot
average from 81 to $40 a day is not a
good hand at the business. I have
made as much as $40 a day for months
at time. My family lived we'll, and
i managed to do so at the same time,
During gala days and carnival times

The big crowds now in the city have
helped things considerably. All of the
visitors have money, they have come
here to spend it and if it does not &C
one way it will another, and so they
turn it loose without a struggle. A
man cannot be proud and be beggar
but he can sometimes afford to put his
pride in his pocket for while If ne
is making money. When he has the
money he will find that his pride is
all right. New Orleans Times-Demo-

SOMETHING ABOUT PIE.

Noting the many reports coming in
about large sweet potatoes the mind Of
The Richmond Dispatch naturally turns
20 pie. and in an editorial last Sunday
st fairly revels in gustatory recoilections
and anticipations. That is natural. and
1t is also natural that it should very
strongly intimate that nowhere else on
this globe can such potato pies be made
as in Old Virginia. Your true Virginian
religiously believes that in all earthly
blessings, from Pocahontas to potatoes,
and from Patrick Henry to possums. Wiz
ginia stands Just I-e-e-tle higher than
any other bump on the universe. That Is
all right. but when The Dispatch adds a
diagram and specifications for the manu-
facture of potato pie, we are not so sure
Of its correctness. This is it's recipe:
Here in Virginia we make two sorts of
potato pie-the sliced and the mashed
but in either case much depends on the
seasoning. One must put into 1t butter,
eggs. sugar, lemons, and cinnamon. Also
@ Dash OF brandy or wine. The potatoes
should be thoroughly cooked, out not
dried up. The crust-usually there is no
upper crust-shouid be light and crispy

that IL can hardly or correctly be denomi.

lite of the country people. the flavor OF

time people like the odor from the spice.
laden wales of Araby the Blest. If the
yams of Virginia require all those add
tional aids to make a complete and ap.
petizing pie, then they lack something not
wanting in the yams of Alabama, If we
know anything about it. and we think we
do. A cook of the olden times, with Do.
tatces properly seasoned by time, wouldn't
need so many ingredients as above enum-
Grated, and she would turn out a pie that
would make even Virginian bless the
maker. They would be potato pies in fact
as well as in name.
But we can readily believe that The
Dispatch's recipe would produce really
eatable pie. whatever name we might
give it.
The Mobile Item enters on its sixth
year with few words of self-gratulation
which are pardonable. With all its crank
iness at times and on some subjects, The
Item has good points which deserve sue
cess, and we rather like it, and are glad
of its growth. 1t will come round all
right in time.

Corliss Tumbled.

Representative Corliss (Rep) of De-

one of the Michigan Congressman who
opposed the policy of reciprocity with
Cuba, "a policy" says The Detroit Free
Press Qnd) which Is not only dear to
the President. but to the rank and file
Of the voters as well" The Free Press
thinks. however, that Mr.. Corliss's atti-
tude as to reciprocity would not alone
have defeated him. He was opposed by
a local interest which, says The Free
Press, was. perhaps. not so much in
terested in the success OF the Democratic
candidate as 1t was in the defeat Of the
man who had fret convinced the Presi-
dent that the so-called guessing contest
for money, which have been adopted to
increase the circulation of moribund news
papers, are lotteries which approximate
in evil influence the institutions like the
one in Louisiana, that have been pro-
Inhibited by law; and the fact that Mr..
Corliss induced President Roosevelt to
have the Attorney General begin pro-
ceeding that are designed to abate the
practice did not tend to make the attacks
upon Corliss grow less"
