Many Americans would add mo free

There is abundant proof that catarrh
is constitutional disease. 1t is re-

Hoods Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating scrof-

The Laugh Cure.

Laughter induces a mental exhil-
aration.
The habit of frequent and hearty
laughter will not only save you many
a doctors bill. but will also save
you years of your life.
There is good philosophy as well
as good health in the maxim laugh
and grow fat"
Lauhter is foe to pain and dis
ease and sure cure for the blues, A"
melancholy and worry.
Laughter is contagious. Be cheer
full. and YOU make everybody around
you happy, harmonious and healh-
full.
Laughter and good cheer make
love Of lie, and love of life is half
of health.
Use laughter as a table sauce, it
sets the organs TO dancing, and thus
stimulates the digestive processes.
Laughter keeps the heart and
face young, and enhances physical
beauty.

How 10 Keep Young.

The fact that one has lived for
sixty, or even for eighty years, Is no
reason why he should feel old.
When Longfellow was well along
in years, his head as white as snow,
but his cheeks as red as a rose, an
ardent admirer asked him one day
how it was that he was able to keep
so vigorous and to write so beauti-
fully.
Pointing to a blossoming apple
tree nearby, the poet replied: That
apple tree is very old, but never
saw preltier blossoms upon ii than
those which it now bears. The tree
grows little new wood each year.
and suppose that it is out of that
new wood that those blossoms come.
Like the apple tree, try to grow a
little new wood each year"
And what Longfelow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the flight of time;
we cannot head off the one event
that happens to all; but we can
keep on growing new wood" and
in that way keep on blooming until
the end.

The bridegroom was John F. Fritz,
Of Caldwell, near Lockhaven. Pa.
one of the school directors of
that district. 1t was through his
influence that Miss Chatwood was
engaged to teach the district school
at that place. The bride attracted
no little attention at the county
teachers institute.
She is young. fair. and short in
stature. and the lucky bridegroom
is understood. They will reside in
jersey Shore, and friends of the
couble predict unalloyed happiness.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.
Combines Flourish in Great Brit
ain as Well as They
do Here.

Some time since an esteemed con-
temporary remarked that President
Roosevelt failed to furnish any argu-
ment or reason to support his asser-
ton had no connection with the Tar
iff. AS he had on a previous occas-
ion given his views at length, and
supported then with argument and
ample illustration, the charge was
uncalled for. But, as there is no
harm in repeating good reasons and
affording fresh illustrations. as long
as a question is disputed, we ask our
contemporaries consideration of the
dispatch from Glasgow published in
Chronicle" on the 18th inst, to
the effect that "a combination of
Scott and English tube-makers has
been formed, to regulate the home
and export business. 1t is explain
ed that 1.-THE industry has suffered
intellectually since the previous agree
ment between the firms in this line
was Cancelled eighteen months ago,
and that the new combine is wider
in scope than the old, taking in the
firms of the United Kingdom except
one Clydesdaie concern" and, it is
added, 1.-The American producers are
supporting the combine" Here is
statement of facts which shows
three tings concluslvely:
First. That trust ha, e existed an.
do exist in free trade Great Britain.
Second. That they are formed rs
easily where there is no Tariff Pro-
tective in character, as in country
where high Tariff for that purpose
prevails.
Third. That trusts easily assume
an international character as is inn
piled by the fact that American pro-
ducers are supporting the English
steel tube trust.
In the face of such a showing. it
is idle to couple up trusts with the
Protractive Tariff. Those who do
so wholly fail to comprehend the
causes that bring them into existence
and help to weaken the efforts to
regulate them, so as they can be
regulated, by methods which may
have some remedial effect.

Woman has a surer faculty FOL

sex than all the specialized scientists
who ever wrote initials after their

She shows more ingenuity in the

inventor who ever signed patent

She can throw a better bluff fy

can throw in whole series of poker
games.

Man is the bass accompaniment,
but woman is the twiddy bits, the

The protracted industries are the
producing class. Their wages gov
ern all others. If they have work
and less pay they cannot buy. and
all who live by merchandise or trans
portation would have less work and
les pay if the wage earners spend
less for their needs. In fact, the
needs of working people would have
to be cut down if it were not for the

TIME CHANGES,
An Ex-MayOr of 0wensbOro
Reduced TO Want.
Jas. X. Tharp Reduced to Poverty
BY Disease, Sleeps on Bed OF
Boards in Humble Home.
[Owensboro Inquirer ]

The vicissitudes of even official
life are wildly shown in the rather
sudden death of former Mayor W.
P. Small on Monday and the applica-
ton on the day of his funeral to the
present Mayor for aid for another
ex-Mayor, James K. Tharp.
Mr.. Small died in comfortable cir
cumstances, the owner of consider
able city property. Two other
ex-Mayors, John Thixton and j. H..
Hickman, are in the very BEST cir
cumstances financially. but former
Mayor Tharp is leading lonely and
wretched life in a thin-planked
shack" on the rivers edge at the
foot of Bolivar street. There he
has lived several years alone and
above the door he has nailed board
on which he has pinned the legend,
"An Eveless Eden"
Mr.. Tharp has been married twice.
His first wife died as the result of
an operation performed in Louis
vile hospital. Later, he remarked,
but his second wife left him. This
was several years ago. He worked
several years at removing houses,
and taking small contracts, but
rheumatism and other ills that flesh
is heir to, or easily contracts, have
left him almost helpless, and he has
had to ask for aid from the city and
from charity organizations.
Recently Mr.. Thorp's son, Clar
ence, returned to his fathers .home,
where he is now very i'll and not ex-
pected to live. He is occupying the
only object in the little house that
resembled bed. and the father has
been sleeping on rough boards for
two weeks. A local minister visited
the place on Wednesday and he de-
scribed it as being a most repulsive
place for a human being to visit,
much less to live in. The situation
Of young Tharp, while it is repul-
sive, is also pitiable. His past con
duct has been bad and he has often
been convicted of drunkenness and
recently served long sentence in
Jail for theft, IN the commission of
which he had with him his young
step-son.
MIR. Tharp formerly ran the Stone
wall house, which was located where
the Bell house now stands. The
name was derived from a very
larg picture Of Stonewall jackson,
which stood in the saloon and was
used as the screen. He was elected
Mayor while running this house, de-
featiug Mr.. Scott, but was in turn
defeated by Mr.. JohnIThiyton, now
President of the Bank OF Commrce.

Hints to hOnSekeeperS.

Olu pieces OF VelVeteen SnOuld,
after they have served their origi-
nal purpose, be saved for polishing
cloths They will answer the pur-
pose of wash leather for plate clean
ing, ETC.. perfectly. and save buy
ing anything fresh. Wash the vel
veteen cloth as often as needed in
soapy water, and hang out to dry.
Varnish on the hands should be
removed with methylated spirit;
paint or tar by rubbing in butter or
lard. When the stains are loosened.
wipe the hands as clean as may be
with soft paper or rag, and then
give them a good washing with soap
and warm water.
Sailed pecans are even more de-
liclous than sailed almonds. They
are rarely prepared at home, for
the reason that the nuts are difficult
to remove from the shells without
breaking the meats. This difficulty
is entirely overcome by pouring
boiling water over the nuts, letting
the water cool on them. Crack by
striking small end of nut, and aalt
as you would almonds.
Leather goods, if their appearance
is to be preserved, should not be
kept in places that are too dry, as
the heat will cause the leather to
crack. Nor in damp places that will
make it mouldy. To freshen leather
chair seats, travelling bags, book
covers, ETC., that have become shah
by or spotted, rub them with the
well-beaten white Of an egg. Sole
leather bags are best cleaned by
using ordinary russell shoe polish,
cleaning them in the same way that
shoes are cleaned.
There IS no piece of furniture in
the house that gives the lady of the
hou:e more anxiety than the piano,
as it must not only be saved from
scratches at the hands of care
less servants, but it must also be
kept from damp. 1t should be kept
open a little while each day, to pre-
vent the keys from being discolored.
a piano tuner says that a growing
plant in the room will prevent damp
ness. Do not polish with a cloth,
hut use the coach brush.

Immediate use of finely powdered
rice or flour to the wound. This has
been proved great success in al

from Il very severe cut.
An old housewife says that if
bacon is soaked in water a few min
utes before frying, this will prevent
the fat from running.
The best treatment for indigestion
and troubles of the stomach is to

by starvation or by use of a good di-
gestant which will digest the food
