Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.

The great majority Of nervous wonen

The greatest obstacle In the way Of re-

The amount of money handed over to her depends, not on her ability
or industry, btu, on the moncy-making capacity and the disposition OF her
husband.
We may say that She finds her reward in the happiness and adec-
ton OF her family; but no other worker does his daily tasks for such
remuneration. In other departments OF labor the incentive to rise rests
'on the fact that there is money in rising. Only in home making and
the rearing of children is this requtal lacking.
In London women sanitary inspectors visit the tenement districts,
keeping an eye on the landlords and melting the mothers to better house
keeping. They teach the bad effects Of filth and disorder and the prop
or feeding and care OF children. Why should not the state 90 a step fur
thcr and to the housewife who attains a required standard make a GER
tain annual payment Though necessarily small, this income would add
to the wiics dignity.
A great deal OF sentiment is woven around the home, but practi-
caly man, especially when uneducatcd, dcsphes woman's work because
it commands no money. 1t isn't a bit more important to drive a cart than
to wash dishes. but cart driving eompels respect because it receives a
wage.
Under the system suggested, the state would say: your work as
homc-nakcr, well done, is OF more importance to society than any serv-
ice you can render a a wagc-cancr. Provided you reach a required
standard. the public will make up to you the loss of your wages

As nations we can often help ourselves by helping ono another. Our
several republics should be one in sympathy. one in disposition to help
each other, one in determination to make the three Americas great in
the possession Of the highest civilization, and WELD a grand influence for
the good OF mankind.
The movement for closer relations between the several republics will
increase from year TO year. II has often been said that trade follows the
flag. Trade and the flag should go together. and in the interest of the
United States and our sister republics am anxious to see American
ships with the American flag floating over them, anchored in the ports
OF the south. laden with American products and manufactures for the
markets OF those countries, and again laden with the products OF those
countries for the markets Of the United States.
| hope to see the day very soon when the three Americas shall be
bound together by lines of ships and by railroad and telegraph lines. so
that the whole people OF all these nations-North, Central and South
can conveniently come aud so and mnglc and trade together. to the
advantage Of all.
The first duty of government is to secure its independence and the
freedom and protection OF its citizens. The government, of the United
States years ago gave expression to the doctrine that no foreign power
should subiugate or interfere with the establishment OF independent
republics on the American continent. The Monroe Doctrine is stronger
in our history.

A decision has been rendered by the
commissioner of internal revenue to the
eject that after this date no check
books bearing the internal revenue i'm
press according to the war revenue law
of 1898 will be returned to their owners
after cancellation. Heretofore these
checks have been returned to their own
ers, but the appropriation for that pur-
pose has been expended and no funds
are available. There was large num-
Der of stamped checks and drafts
printed with the stamp during the war
with Spain, and the expense of return
ing them after the repeal of the law
was no small item. The owners gen.
orally wished to keep them, and an dp-
preparation was made by Congress pro-
viding for their return after redemp-
ton.
