There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nOunced 1t a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable. Sci.
ence has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall S Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Sulphur for Diphtheria.

Sulphur is one of the most eff
ficacious and simple cures for diph-
liberia. All that is needed is flour
of sulphur and quill, and with
these, it is said. one celebrated
physician cured every patient with
out exception.
He put a teaspoontul of -four of
sulphur into wine glass of water
and stirred it with his his finger
instead of spoon, the sulphur not
readily mixing with water. When
the sulphur was we'll mixed the
physician gave it as gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out
of danger. Sulphur kills every
species of fungus in man, beast
and plant in a few minutes. In.
stead of splitting out the gargle the
swallowing of it is recommended.
In extreme cases in which the
above specialist half been called in
the nick of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow
gargling, he blew the sulphur
through quill into the throat and
after the fungus had shrunk to al.
low it. then he gave the gargle.-

.Ground Hog Day in Hardsqrabble.

To the J1MPLEcuTE; Ground
Hog Day dawned this part of
grand old Texas most groriously
gloomy and has remained such up
to the present hour, Feb, 9th, '05.
When the Auroreboselow uentured
to wink one eye at us, suffices it to
say since the morning of the End,
we have bad rain, snow. sleet and
ice, alternately, till the earth's sur
face is as slick as peeled onion,
which caused We Stoney, who has
seen supler days, to collide on the
ice, reminding him of the fact that
the wicked stand on slippery plac
es. T'is said there is no cloud so
dark, but what it has silver lining,
and we are wont to say, we are ex-
ceedingly anxious to see brighter
days. The Ground, Hog to the
contrary Notwithstanding suffices
it to say that during all this Ground
Hog weather the mercury has been
boiling up and down between frezo
and zero, and now with the burden
of three score and ten years on our
shoulders, we want to say surely
no Democratic president, eyer Wis.,
tied such weather upon us, and
want to ask President Roosevelt if
a Southern Democrat has no rights
you are bound TO respect
In conclusion dear JUMP. folks,
permit me to doff my derby to
Tom Mott who gave US such a
pleasant call in last weeks JUMP
Long may the sun shine, and the
roses bloom for you dear Tom, and
when they fail, may the tall ceders
wave ore the tomb of an honest
man. -

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK
PROMISE OF /475,00O,000 BUSHELS,
WITH MAINTENANCE OF CON-
DITIONs TO THE END. SIS

! It Is to be conceded that the April report of
the winter wheat crop cannot furnish reliable
indication to ultimate results says the C1ncin-
natl Price Current. But this does not set aside
the feature of interest which such report rep
resents. From the time the grain is seeded in
the autumn. the features Of comparative area,
Of conditions attending the seeding and subse-
quently the influence Of the winter season, all
have q bearing upon the possibilities of the final
shaping of the crop, and are matters Of current
Interest. For the present crop it Is to be said
that its start was incident to such lack Of mois-
ture rs to prevent the usual development of au-
! tumn growth, so that the plant entered upon
winter conditions deficient in vitality. The win
ter proved free from such severity as operates
to disturb in serious degree the strength Of
the wheat plant so that with the advent Of grow
ing weather the position was one of backward
ness in growth without other drawbacks of a Sc
rious nature. The influence Of the Hessian fly
had been restricted and less than frequently at
tends the crop. The month of March proved gen.
ial In temperature, with less than usual freez-
| ing and thawing conditions, such as are calcu-
Lated to throw the plant out Of ground. Thus the
situation for the LIST of April became one of more
| than ordinary uniformity of healthful position OF
the wheat plant giving it high recognition as to
average condition for such juncture in It's prog.
ress. The existing feature now Is the lack Of de-
i sirable extent of subsoil moisture What influence
| this may have on the future Of the plant and
! to what degree this may be overcome hereafter
cannot be foretold. ..,tt
| Dividing the winter and spring wheat areas
i
in 1904 was p, C31, 900 acres; in 19O3 80, s46 OOt
acres; In 1902, 29,1s2,0o acres; in 1901, 81,
100000 acres; in 1900, 27,672, 900 acres The area
| of the present winter crop represents about 81,
900 acres. The indications Of abandoned ares
this season that such loss will be small. Fo
general calculations the winter area this seasol
4 may be recognized as about 31,0O0.O0O acres
4 On the basis Of the average relation of the Jul,
condition to yield, and of the April condition t
the July condition, for the past five years. the in
Dictated basis is now equivalent to an average o
ma tely AT ,0OO, 900 bu--which allows for de
cline in condition hereafter equivalent to tn
average Of the decline in the past five years
Were the present condition Of 81 g to be main
tanned to the end. the indication would represen
a basis of about 5.25 bu per acre, or 47s, 100
bu. From this analysis it would appear that tn
possibilities of the winter wheat crop range a
i high as $4,000 900 bu and that with adverse con
ditions not exceeding the average of the pas
i $50, 600, 900 bu.

J. GREATER COST OF LIVING

Boston Transcript.


F.W. Hewes in Harper Weekly.
The partial investigation Of the gov

IL points in weekly earnings over the
record Of 1892, as against the increase
Of Of only TX points II the cost Of living e
points, and that Of. bank loans and dis
counts is 80 points, while the other two
indexes show still larger advances.
Were these not the official records pub
lished by the national government, one
would be inclined to believe them the
irresponsible imaginings of a sensation
monger.
Why is it, then, that there are today
people, and many of them, who find 1t
just as difficult to make ends meet"
as they did dozen years agos AS to
Many even find it more difficult. The
reason In those instances is wholly in
dividual and may be due to any one Of
many causes which, under any and all
conditions, bring special adversely or
special prosperity, as the case may be.
AS to the people in general, II it be
true that it is as difficult for them to
balance accounts as in former years

pansion in the qualification Of increased

were fair. In the northwest the supplies were
