snrIne and summer catarrll.

There is form of catarrh especially
prevalent in spring and summer, called
by DR.. Hartman systemic catarrh.
This form Of catarrh especially de-
ranges the stomach, bowels and other
organs of the abdomen. The whole
mucous tract lining the stomach, liver,
bowels and kidneys is in an inhamed
condition, and these organs fail to per-
form their proper function.
Systemic catarrh may be or may not
be accompanied by catarrh In other
parts of the body. In some cases there
is hacking cough. II may be also as
sociated with catarrh in the head.
But, in typical cases of systemic ca
tarrh all the organs Of the abdomen arc
in weakened and sluggish condition
Dyspepsia and BIIIOusness.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, al
other times biliousness, or the patient
may be suspected Of having kidney dis
ease or appendicitis.
Systemic catarrh presents symptoms
which resemble closely . great many
different diseases.

condition; bad habits and = weak
stomach. By bad habits mean eating
irregnlarly and too fast and not chew
ing the food thoroughly. The stom-
ach gives ont and loss OF appetite,
billiousness, constipation, and general
debility result. First get the stomach
in shape and then be more careful in
the future, and the worn ont, despond-
ent, half sick feeling will be a thing
of the past.
Two bottles of Cooper's New Dis
covery will put the stomach in shape.
Common sense will do the rest. There
are fifty thousand people in this
country who know this to be true be-
cause they've tried it.
Here's letter from one of them:
.'I was all run down from overwork,
lost ambition and energy and could
not sleep. 1t was difficult for me to
attend to my work owing to that tired
out feeling. / secured two bottles OF
the New Discovery medicine and de-
termined to try it. The result de-
lighted me for renewed strength and
vigor and energy came with the first
few doses. It's effect was different
from anything / had ever taken.

THIS is NY 47TH BIRTHDAY.

Hamil Garland, prominent as a dra-
matist and novelist, was born Sept 10,
1860, at West Salem, Mass When he
was 10 or II years old the family
moved to Usage, Iowa, and some years
after to Dakota. Young Garland re-
ceived his education in the district
schools of these two states. When not
in school he worked on the farm.
After his education was finished he
taught school in Illinois for a year or
two. Then he returned to Dakota to
take up a land claim, but soon after
went to Boston and began to write
stories. 1t was not many years, how
ever. before he again returned to live
in the Mississippi valley. and it is in
this region that he received the in
spiration for the most of his literary
work. The publication of Main
Travelled Roads" in 1890 assured his
literary success. Since then numerous
novels and several dramatic works
have been the product of his pen.

INEQUALITIES IN ASSESSMENTS

differentiation of property for tax
alton purposes is not unusual in Tex
as or elsewhere. II is not confined 10
particular sections or localities, nor
to particular classes.
Assessors of taxes are supposed to
be impartial but not infallible. Some.
times they accept the rendition of the
property without further inquiry than
may be personally answered by the
taxpayer.
Then there is the Board of Equali-
cation, which is supposed to go over
the tax rolls and correct any errors
in assessments, raising those which
are too low and lowering those which
are too high. But, even with all these
precautions against differentiation,
there has always been complaint of
inequality in taxation, of assessments
being too high in some cases and rela-
lively too low in others. There is
hardly community in which some
such instances canot be cited, and
most often the differentiation is by a

The hide-bound tariff laws have al
most put living expenses beyond the
reach OF the ordinary man. The man
who formerly found his salary of sixty
or seventy dollras a month sufficient
to live well on, is now hard put to
live at all. True, wages have in
creased some, but nothing like in
keeping with the advance made in
prices for all supplies. The worst
thing about the tariff, and it is all
bad. is that It only works one way.
II protects the rich manufacturer
from foreign competition, but It does
not protect the working citizen from
the competition OF his foreign brother.
Foreign countries cannot get their
goods into this country without pay
ing a heavy duty. in some cases al
most prohibitive. but the foreign cOun-
tries can pour their thousands of
workmen into this country to compete
with American labor. Only one re-
striction is placed. foreign labor must
not be brought over on contract. This
provision is avoided every day in the
year. The democratic party should
make the tariff its issue in the coming
and guarantee to the Amer
lean people this robber system will be
done away with. II the tariff cannot
be repealed, then the immigration
laws should be made as tight as the
tariff. Give both sides an equal go.
The tariff was originally employed to
protect striving home Industries, but
conditions have changed. and the
young industries have come
to be mighty bosses of the nation. |
