CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become inhamed
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the ur1-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. They allay the inflammation
and temporarily relieve the disease, but

to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon

REBATES GIVEN FOR THEM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Babies are
worth from $500 to $3.50 each at the
board of review. without attempting
to establish a market price which
would be beyond criticism or which
would satisfy the parents, the review
ers have adopted sliding scale with
the above figures as the extremes.
In the tax equation babies are re-
garded not as assessable property
which increases the taxes of the
parents but as grounds for rebates,
offsets and drawbacks.
This secret was not divulged until
the closing days of the boards session
for fear the revenue of the city might
be reduced materially by sudden in
crease in population, but now that it
is known, there is reason to believe
Chicago will reach the 100000 mark
before the board reviews taxes next
year.
Roy o. West, father of a four-year-
old boy and a four-months-old girl, is
the chief apostle of the theory that a
citizen who is the father of a baby
school and park taxes, and should be
credited with 1t.
Small Taxpayers Favored
AS the reviewers system works, 1t is
not made applicable to the taxpayers
whose assessments run up into the
hundreds of thousands, but the small
taxpayer is credited with an offset for
each child he is rearing-that is, If he
comes in and makes complaint that his
taxes are too high.
Since the board took up the review
ing of assessments Mr.. West has been
heard to ask one question insistently
and consistently of all his applicants
for reductions-to wit: How many
babies have you?" Yesterday it was
admitted that babies were as good
as tax receipts.
The circumstances leading up to the
admission included a large fatherly
looking German, a smooth shaven
young man, a shrewd middle-aged man
and a young business man. The
fatherly looking German got to Mr..
West first.
whats your salary?" asked West
Eighteen hundred" said the Ger
man.
How many babies have you?"
-Four" said the German with
smile
That's ALL" said West, dismissing
him. Against the Germans assessment
of $4,000 he wrote "$SOO"
Favors Pensions for Fathers
The smooth shaved young man came
next. He went through the same
questions, answering $500" and "two."
you ought to be pensioned instead
OF taxed" said West, writing mo as
sessment" on the young mans papers.
Then came the shrewd looking middle
aged man, who replied "$2600" and
none" West wrote confirmed" after
the assessment of $1,000. The young
business man had friends case in
hand. The friend was assessed $500
end thought $3.50 was high enough
West and the young man argued the
matter for a moment, but the reviewer
did not seem inclined to lower the
assessment.
HE has a baby only a month old
and that's expensive" the young man
said, at a hazard.
There was no further discussion.
West reduced the assessment to $780,
Thus caught in chain of evidence
he admitted that babies were grounds
for tax rebates.
II don't know what the parents
think they are WORTH" he said, but
It takes about $1,000 to keep one"

A Hot Weather Htnt,

Do you know that the two essen
tails for good health in hot weather are
keeping the system clean and regu-
lar and tonic for the stomach and
bowels?
Mull's Grape Tonic Is q valuable
remedy for hot weather. 1t cleanses
the system Of all impurities and poi
sons. It contains nearly SO per cent
grape, which is the best hot weather
tonic known. 1t is an ideal prepare
ton for heat debility and the many
dangerous ills prevailing during sum-
mer weather. 1t fortifes the system
thoroughly.
Heat prostrations, summer bowel
and stomach troubles are rare in fam
lilies where Mull's Grape Tonic is en-
ployed. There is nothing SO dangerous
in hot weather as constipation, which
is the result Of the more serious hot
weather diseases. Mull's Grape Tonic
is the one successful constipation cure
"a splendid stomach and bowel tonic.

SOVEREIGNS AND FASHIONS.
Styles Put Into Vogue by Royalty to
Cover Physical Defects.

Styles Put Into Vogue by Royalty to
Cover Physical Defects.
Many Of the fashions inaugurated by
sovereigns have had most unromantic
origins. Thus when Louis TX Of France
developed bald Uranium his queen
promptly provided him with wig,
saying: "Our bald kings have never
been lucky, and it i'll BELTS a sovereign
that he should not be better provided
with flowing locks than mendicant
at the gates Of Notre Dame" And
forthwith every subject throughout
France, whether he required it or not,
donned a similar wig in loyal emula-
ton Of his king.
Henry Plantagenet, Duke Of Anjou,
had an excrescence on one of his feet
which made the wearing Of an ordi-
nary shoe painful If not impossible, and
to hide his defect he wore shoes with
points two feet long, which speedily
became the rage. 1t was a different
motive which prompted Catherine Of
Braganza to start the fashion Of wear
ing short skirts instead of the long
dresses then in popular favor. She had
small and dainty feet and was anxious
that others should have an opportun-
ity Of admiring them. 1t was vanity,
too, which suggested to Isabella Of Ba-
varia the wearing Of low-necked dress
es, SO that the fairness Of her neck and
shoulders might be admired by all.
Edward vi was the first to wear silk
stockings in England, his first pair
being a present from Sir Thomas Ores
ham, who had imported them from
Spain, but it was Queen Elizabeth who
put on them the final seal Of fashion.
When Mistress Montague, one Of her
tirewomen, presented her majesty with
a pair as New Years gift in 1860 she
went into raptures over them, declar-
ing: II like silk stockings so we'll, be-
cause they are pleasant, fine and deli
cate, that henceforth I will wear no
more cloth stockings"
When Henry VIII caused his "head
to be polled and his beard to be cut
short heads were shave1 and boards
trimmed in almost frantic haste from
one end Of the kingdom to the other.
Similarly, when Francis I received a
wound in the head which made 1t
necessary for him to wear his hair
short cropped heads became at once
the fashion among his subjects, while,
to give but one more instance Of the
power of king to model fashion, when
Louis XIII first put a crown on his
boyish head it was signal for cour-
tiers and subjects throughout France to
appear with faces as innocent of hair
as his own.-London Tit-Bits.

marquis came on his errand Of chivalry
to America.
There Is another member OF the
French embassy who bears name re-
vered in ecclesiastical and secular his
tory-Count Antoine de Sala. He comes
from the same line Of northern Italy
which produced that gentle saint,
Francis de Sales, Bishop Of Geneva,
beloved by all, whether orthodox Cath.
Ole or merely admirer of noble attrib-
utes Of character and mind. st. Fran
els de Sales is the model Of the perfect
Christian gentleman, and ecclesiasti-
cally he is as much revered as Ches-
terrified in the more worldly sense. His
modern kinsman is a credit to the
name.
There are other diplomats who bear
historical names. Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador and the dean of
the corps, Is the last Of the Counts
Cassini du Thury, ennobled in the early
years Of the seventeenth century for
their astronomical achievements. The
family name will live III history as hay

guished name is Don Emilio de Ojeda,
who came to this country in 1902 as
minister from Spain and who will soon
return to Madrid to become under Sec
rotary Of foreign affairs. He is one Of
the strong links which unite the pres
ent with the distant past, for he is a
lineal descendant Of that gay cava-
lier, Hanuel Ojeda, the companion Of
Christopher Columbus. With his de-
parture Washington will lose one Of
its most attractive figures. Itisinterest-
ing to note that his successor-Senor
Jacinthe de Caligny-is Of the same
stock as the noted Huguenot chief, Ad-

Profits OF the Packers.

There has been a great deal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent on the volume OF
business transacted. There is nc
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the "beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit Of 81 -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on the
volume of business. The gross margin
OF f1fty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in ILL
nois was only about one-third as large,
or little more than two per cent on
the volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being In a trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: Gall
sQueal and no WOOL"

Good Fishing Near St. Louis On Rock
Island Line to Kansas City.

St Louis-An entslsiastic disciple
of Ike Walton thusnwrites to thu St
Louis Globe-Democrat:
after reading in last Sundays is-
sue the report Of the catch made By
the st. Louis boys at Indian ford eddy,
and on the Little Maries, we made
ready for a weeks outing at Freeburg,
near the crossing of the Rock Island
and Gasconade, and Saturday night
left this city to go to Freeburg, few
miles west Of Gascondy, arriving there
1:15 Sunday. We organized for the
week, and Monday morning headed for
the Marie, about two and half miles
from Freeburg. Here we found a
beautiful stream in the pink of condi-
ton for fishing, and pitched our camp,
catching the first day seventy-two fish
In all; among them were nine jacks,
fourteen bass and the balance channel
cats and large perch. Monday night
we had cloudburst, which raised the
river so we had no fishing Tuesday,
but put in the day killing young squir-
rels, at which we had very good sport,
and supplied our camp with meat for
several days. On Wednesday we start
ed fishing again, though the creek did
not get in good condition before Thurs
day.
1--WE remained in camp until Satur-
day noon, and l can assure any readers
Of the Globe-Democrat we made the
largest catch ever made by four men
in that length Of time, taking in all 1856
fish; all Of which were Of very nice
size. The largest bass weighed 3A
pounds, largest jack weighed Az
pounds, and the largest cat 21a pounds.
We caught in all 1875 bass and "a jacks,
the balance cat and perch. The &C.
commodating hotel man at Freeburg
packed our catch and we landed in
Marshal this morning with more fish
than were ever brought here by one
party Of fishermen"
