The japanese divide the twentyfour hours
into twelve periods. of which six belong to
the night and six to the day, their day be-
ginning at sunrise and ending at sunset.
Whether the day or night be Tong or short
there are always six periods In each To at
tain this, the characters or numerals on the
scale are adjustable. Two Of them are SET
one to agree with the sunrise, the other
with sunset, and the four characters be-
tween them divide the space into equal por-
tons. Thus when the period of daylight Is
longer than the night, the day hours will be
proportionately longer than those at night
Another popularity in their scale is that
they use only six characters those from
four to nine, and these read backward.

CATARRH SUFFERERS.
In its earlier stages catarrh is more of a nuis-

Catarrh is essentially disease of the mucous

A new remedy which meets these requirements
and which so far has been remarkably successful

These tablets act upon the blood and mucous

such valuable remedies Blood root, Hydrastln.

The leading druggists of this city are

one Of the fairest offers that can be made,

the diphtheria bacillus passes out of It's
