THEORIES ABOUT
CATARRFT.
PECULIAR IDEAS REGARDING A COMMON
DISEASE.


DISEASE.
Mark Twains cure for a cold In the head was
simple. but he claims very effective in his own
case his plan was to eat nothing whatever for
twentyfou hours, or presumably until the trouble
had disappeared.
Although not able to speak from personal ex-
perience as to the effectiveness Of this treatment
1t certainly has the merit OF extreme economy but
1t occurs to us that the application Of IT to
of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficult
ties.
Catarrh, every knows, is a chronic cold
in the head and Mr.. Twain's treatment II ft
should become fad, would make Of us a nation
of fasters; an army, emulating the example of the
immortal Tanner, who achieved divide fame
by fasting forty days.
Catarrh 10 certainly becoming a national disease
and there Is little doubt but that errors in diet,
particularly overeating. is very common cause.
Most people, however. more interested In the
cure of the trouble than in the cause and modera
medical science has produced more effective and
less heroic remedies than Mr.. Twain's.
Hydrastin is a remedy, very effective in
some forms Of Catarrh. Red Gum Is another

Catarrh have been entirely cured BY the sanguina-

that all druggists carry them in stock to
supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and It

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets used by thousands

They clear the head and throat from the dis

BILE law, law inexorable, irrepealable,
fixed, merciless.
1t did not occur to William Mckinley
to say that prices should be fixed by
act Of congress. He had learned too
many lessons in the school Of actual ex-
perience to be caught by chaff. Trust
killers will probably claim that they
are not asking congress to fix prices.
Well, it is true that they are not draw
ing up schedule of rates for manufac-
turers and others, but they are calling
upon the national legislature for inter
ference in the event Of certain contln-
gencies. If an article be sold at less
than a fair market value to the detri-
ment of competitors, all concerned in
the sale, except the purchaser, are to
be called into court They are to be
prosecuted for nisdemeanor, With
fine among the possible consequences.
True, the government does not then
say what shall be charged, but it does
virtually the same thing when it says
what shall not be asked. Within the
limits defined by fair market value, it
regulates prices That is to say, it

and formulated by the president who
was shot at Buffalo.
There is and there can be no such
substitute. To the trust killer the at
tention of the fool killer should be
called. Knox himself has admitted that
the amount of capital embarked in in
dependent enterprises within the past
two years at least equals the total cap
ital of the great combinations formed
within the past twelve years. With
that admission he brought down his
whole case in ruins 1t signifies that
the trusts, so-called, have not strangled
competition. On the contrary, they
would seem to have stimulated it. In
twelve years billions have gone into the
big combinations, but in two years
more billions have gone into indepen-
dent enterprises. The situation thus
stated is of easy comprehension-cOm-
petition has not disappeared from this
part of the face Of the earth. There is
as much of 1t as ever The indications
are that there will be no less of it than
ever. Also. it is speaking with Will
liam McKinley's automatic gertrude to
say that the fittest will survive and the
unfittest go under, without particle of
reference to what congress may do or
may not do. Any effort it may make
to coddle the inf1rm, will help the weak
in not the least degree. Higher laws
will dispose of them. AS to the dis

Those who have oil or oil stocks to
sell will be encouraged by the reports
of the success of oil on the Pacific ocean
and in the Sandwich Islands. 1t is an
nounced that oil will soon replace coal
as fuel on all of the Pacific steamers, if
tests now being made on the Pacific
Mail lines prove successful. All of the
Oceanic Steamship companys boats
will soon be refitted as Oil burners, so
successful have been the results with
the Alameda and Mariposa. These two
steamers are of three thousand tons
burden, the Alameda on the Honolulu
run and the Mariposa on the Tahiti run,
but the Sierra, Sonoma and Ventura
are soon to be taken off the Australian
run, also for the purpose of refitting
them with oil burners. Oil has almost
entirely replaced coal on the sugar
plantations in Hawaii and is reported
to be effecting tremendous saving,
both in the cost of labor and of fuel.
Nearly all of the plantation on Oahu
now use crude oil. Immense oil tanks
have been erected on the Honolulu wa
ter-front for storage of oil, and it is

NEED

The Senate and House at Washington
will find not a few things to disagree
about, but they are not likely to dis
agree about the bill for the protection
of the person of the President. This
bill, which has passed the House,
names death as the penalty for killing
the President or any officer in the line
of succession, or any ambassador or
minister accredited to the United
States; and death or imprisonment for
not less than ten years for an unsuc-
cessful attempt to kill. 1t forbids the
entrance into the United States of per-
sons hostile to organized government or
members Of associations holding such
views, and fines any person aiding the
entrance OF such: it puts In the cate
CORY Of a principal offender any per-
son who aids abets or advises the kill
ing OF the American officials named or
any foreign sovereign; and 1t Furnishes
with fine or imprisonment those who
teach that political assassination is ex-
pedient or desirable.
This bill ought to become law and
be one of the laws that are enforced.
1t is time that anarchists and assassins
were better looked after in this free
country than they have been.

piped from there to tank cars and TAX

idly has the use of oil grown that there
are now half a dozen oil vessels operat-
ing between the Hawaiian Islands and
San Francisco. The oil is used not only
in the operation of the mills and pumps
on the islands, but also in the operation
of plantation locomotives.
Thus does coal continue to lose some
of its Importance. But wasn't it i'm

When a country is beneficent it is
gratifying to know that it's beneficence
is appreciated by those whom It bene-
fits. Awhile ago the United States, the
most heneacent country on the face Of
the globe, annexed the Hawaiian ISL
ands with pure intent to do those ISL
ends good. That it has succeeded is
shown ~ some remarkable statements
recently made by committee organic
ed in those islands in the interest of i'm
proved agricultural operations and es-
pecially Investigation of agricultural
products to meet the demands of the
United States for tropical products OF
various kinds. This committee was ap-
pointed by public meeting recently
held in the Hawaiian Islands, and in its
address to the people Of the islands
says: We find ourselves suddenly sur
rounded by intelligent, enterprising
neighbors, who call loudly to us to
furnish of our abundance and receive in
exchange of theirs Our coffee and
sugar no longer remain piled in our
warehouses. Our fruits and vegetables
no longer decay on the spot where they
were grown. We are not compelled to
seek for them market, but clamorous
purchasers come to our very doors and
carry off our supplies with an eagerness
that has caused us to feel a scarcity
ourselves, and We are assured that not
only for all these. but for many other
products of the soil that we will raise, a
ready and increasing demand may be
relied on srom our enterprising neigh

government and good business are
splendid gifts for a beneficent country
to make to people who had neither.

ton of Prices.
William Mckinley spoke at Buffalo,
September S, 1901--less than year and
half ago. He said: prices are fixed
with mathematical precision by supply
and demand" He called attention to
the fact that the country was in state
of unexampled prosperity, declaring
that all the people were participating In
it and that this participation was
shown by the enormous and unprece-
dented deposits in our savings banks
"Only broad and enlightened policy"
he added, will keep what we fave-no
other policy will get more" He was
right as to the forces by which prices
are regulated. He stated a whole case
with automatic gertrude. The PROPOSE
ton is so simply absolute and so abso-
lutely simple that those who call for
proof have everything to learn or to
unlearn. Demand is in one pan of the
industrial weighing machine and supply
is in the other. When one about bal
ances the other, prices are normal;
when one surrenders to the specific
gravity of the other prices go up or
down accordingly. The variation re-
spends to the operation of an invaria-

that he would give her five dollars if
she would go out and roll over three

fifteen below. She jumped out of bed,
few out of the back door, rolled over
four times in a snowdrift, and was

man had to give her an extra dollar to

Attached to the establishment will be a
