cerning catarrh. The first is that ca
tarrhis the most prevalentand omnipres-
ent disease to which the people In the
United States arc subject. AL classes
Of people have it. Those who stay In
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that it Is diff

quite a degree of enthusiasm to the
quaint and fetching styles of the
sixteenth century. The gagged
skirt, the flowing sleeve and pointed
bodice all belong to that PARKWAY

that period are also in vogue, but
the ingenious authorities have so
arranged them that they give a
square appearance to the shoulders
instead Of the slope which, though
SO charming where it suits, makes
some women look terribly dowdy

King Stir Up Contentious
Among OmeIaIn.

The recent distinction conferred by
the king on the cities Of Melbourne and
Sydney in giving their chief magis-
trstes the enhanced dignity Of lord
mayor and the title Of right honorable
has raised some questions Of etiquette
and precedence, says the London
Chronicle. It is contended in some
quarters that the title Of right honor
able gives the lord mayor of Mel
bourne, the temporary capital of the
commonwealth, rank and precedence
over thepreEdent of the federal senate
and the speaker Of the house of repre-
sentattves, who are only honorables. II

kindred points, and an amicable solu-
ton arrived at. By the way, Montreal
and Toronto, the leading cities Of Can
ada, are inquiring why they also should
not have lord mayors. Well, II they
bestir themselves and request Lord
Strathcons to prefer the request in
the right quarter, doubtless their am
bition win be gratihed. The Canadians

Chicago,

Milwaukee buildings are being inn
periled by a worm eating away the
foundations and there appears no way
of preventing it." said Raleigh T.
Jacobs, Of the western city, to q Wash
ington Star man recently. THE city
building officials are much worked up
over the effects Of the worm, which is
known to science as the limnoria- The
attention Of the building department
has been called to the sinking of build
ingS and the bullying Of walls on bust
ness blocks, and in many instances it
has been necessary to brace the build
ings with heavy beams to keep them
from falling.
''The old buildings, mostly Of brick,
which line the sides Of the river in
Milwaukee were built upon what build
erB call floating foundations. First a
layer Of railroad ties was laid and the
stone foundation was placed on them.
It II on these ties the worms are ap-
parently at work. The worm floats
along the surface of the water, and
when the water recedes the worm is
left stuck to the docks and walls. It
works its way inside the foundation
and bores continuously, so It can very
readily be seen the amount Of damage
that can be done. The newer buildings
erected on piles covered with cement
are not affected by the worms"
