The first stage of catarrh is what is

may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes SO severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever,
or it may be so slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per-
haps a majority of cases little or no at
tention is paid to the first stage of ca

THE LITTLE sUFFIx ISM
Makes It Possible to Express the Lat
est odium in Any Cause-Com-
meree and Commercialism.

1t is possible to express the obi
um latent in any cause or princi-
pie by attaching to it the sufix
'ism," says the New York Mail
and Express. Sentiment is ad-
mirable-sentimeDtalism is dis.
gushing. Humanity we should all
profess, but humanitarianism has
about it the flavor of humbug and
pretense. Industry is not only
necessary, but honorable, but in
dustrialism means the hOrrid
grind that suppresses all beauty
and pleasure. And now the die.
tiQnary makers have expressed for
us the bad side of commerce, upon
which civilization itself has been
founded, by supplying us with the
word "cOmmercialism"-by which
they denote a system of mere
hu~cksterIng on q vast scale, anC
the organization and use of polit
icaI and social powers for pur
poses of personal gain.
This is not to say that this bat
use and organization of commerc,
did not exist before Ruskin o.
some other philosopher had seer
lit to decorate the word with tn
suffx. They certainly did, an,
probably to a greater extent rela
lively to the business done, thar
now. It is a good thing for tn
honor Of commerce and for tn
whole world, whose life and we
fare depend on commerce, that W
have the word, for it's existence
a proof that we have become col
sOioaS Of the evil.
