Drying PREPARATIONS simply devel-

op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose, causing a far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry
ing inhalants, fumes, smokes and snufrs
and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be
mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the
SOC. size. Ely Brothers, sc Warren St., NY.
The Balm cures without pain, does not
irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself
over an irritated and angry surface, reliev-
ing Immediately the painful Inflammation.
With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed
against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever.

and you will be as safe as if you were in
your own home. No thief in China would
steal on New Year. No murderer In China
would kill on that day Any breach OF
this observance would result in the direst
misfortune for the coming year.
The Chinese places of worship are filed
on New Year. In the country in China
some of these Joss houses are six. seven
and even ten miles distant from the wor-
shippers. Now, the women are not al
ways particular during the year to at
tend worship but on the New Year there
is great rivalry among them to see who
can get t0 the Joss House first, To do
this they will get up as early as one
O'Clock in the morning, and upon arriv-
ing there Will kow-tow in the dirt. care
gully preserving anl stains on their fore
heads or clothing as marks of their alert
ness. The men, too, are just as eager
10 get there early.
Not having the kind of newspapers in
China that are in this country it is a
hard thing for a man to get his name in
print Here you can do it by beating your
wife or getting a corner on gOoseberries
or ships There is but one way to become
known in China. and that is to be the
most liberal contributor to the donation
parties that visit the Joss houses Then
your name Will head the lists, and you
viii become famous. For that reason the
Josses do a very good business at New
Year time.
The younger generation of Cinnamon
in this country, however, are fast losing
their superstitious ideas. This is espec-
tally 50 of the converted Christians. In
San Francisco last year several young
Chniamen went about taking down the red
papers that were stuck up on the houses,
substituting white paper. Some of the
old-time Cinnamon nearly became de-
mented over the change, believing that
bad luck would stare them in the face
for the next twelve months. If one says
anything on New Year that is ont csssid-
cred exactly in accordance with the an
cient customs, he Is blamed for all the
misfortune that befalls the community for
a year.
In time all thesec ustoms will be gone
with the other superstitions We Of the
reform movement will be glad of this, for
it is the very thing that We are striving
to bring about. In the meantime, while
we still have the ancient chronology, and
differ in many other ways. l will wish all

GRUBS IN CATTLE
Press Bulletin No. 131 Issued by Asri-
cultural College.

Manhattan, Feb l6.-Recent obServa-
tions made and reports received by this
department indicate that warbles or
grubs in cattle arc unusually prevalent
In. some instances they are reported to
have caused the death of young cattle.
Marbles or grubs are the larval form
Of the OK bot-fy or heel-fiy Hypoderma
lineatal The grubs or MARBLES aren O.
ticed as little Jumps or punches just be-
meath the skin of the back. Directly over
each warble there is a small pore or open
ing in the skin through which the grub
breathes.
Life History.-The adult heel-fly or
warble-fy is a little larger than the COM
mon house-fiy In the laater part of the
summer she deposits her eggs upon the
hair of cattle in the region Of the heels
The presence of the flies among cattle
causes much annoyance. The animal
licks the part and the larvae are taken in
to the mouth. From the throat or gullet
the small larvae bore their way through
the tissues until they locate beneath the
skin of the back. where they increase in
size quite rapidly so that the Jumps are
large enough to be noticed by the latter
part Of December or early January In
February or March these larvae or grubS
work their way out through the small
hole in the skin, fall 10 the ground, bur
row into dirt or litter, pupate. and some
weeks later transform into adult flies.
In 1895 it was estimated that 60 per cent
Of the cattle in Kansas were affected with
warbles. and the financial loss by dam
aged hides was estimated for the United
States at from fifty to sixty million dol
lars Grubhy hides are usually "docked''
about one-third.
Marbles are more prevalent in the
western part Of the state and attack
young animals more severely than older
cattle.
As the adult flies do not travel far. a
cattle owner can free his herd pretty
well from these pests by treating them
at this season Of the year. II other cattle
in the immediate vicinity are affected.
the adult flies will travel far enough to
infest neighboring cattle. All cattle own
ers should unite 20 destroy this pest
Treatment.-Treatm should begin as
soon as the MARBLES are noticed upon the
animals backs. Most of the MARBLES OF
grubs can be destroyed by putting tur-
pentine. kerosene, crude petroleum or

CLAY WORKING INDUSTRIES.
Year 1902 Was One of Great Prosper
itv in Clay Workings.

Washington. Feb 16.-A chart showing
in tabular form the quantity and value
of the clav products of the United States
In 1902 as distributed throughout the sew
eral states was published by the United
states Geological Survey late in 1903. That
is now supplemented by the publication
of a report entitled, Statistics or the
Clay-Working Industries in the United
States in 1852 The author Of both chart
and repor is Mr. Jefferson Middleton, who
did the work under the supervision OF
DR. David T Day. chief of the division
OF mining and mineral resources.
The year 1892 was one Of prosperity in
the clay-working industries. the product
reported increasing from $l10,2n.5S7 in
1901. to $l22 53l in 1862. a gain Of

S HOW meSCOre orParSHa"WaS Obtained


Many people. since the initial pro-
ductlon of "Parsifal," are wondering
how Director Conreid managed to ac-
quire the orchestral score Of the opera.
The following story, recently publish
ed IN the Deutche Wochcnzeitung der
Ncidcrlanden, although not youched
for. indicates how such things come
about in the artistic world
Several months before former Dl-
rector Van der Linden Of the Amster-
dam opera started for America he en-
tertaIned the idea OF having his troupe
sing Parsifal' at concert, and OPEN
ed negotiations with Amsterdam music
dealers in order to secure the score,
The dealers secured the score with the
right for concert performances from
Schott d Sons Of MayenCe for the sum
Of $3.50 aud percentage Of the profits.
Director Van der Linden took the score
and had II copied bat the concert was
postponed. The dealers then demanded
