Catarrh Victims Susceptible.


People who have had catarrh of the
head, throat, nose or lungs are much
more liable to catch the grip than other
people.
The reason for this Is that the mucous
membrsleo Of the head, nose, throat or
lungs are Injured by the catarrh and
the germs which cause the grip find
easy entrance into she system.
Ills well established fact that per
feciiy sound mucous membranes consti-
tuts a barrisr 10 the entrance OF disease
germs.
The best precsution any one can have
against the grip is to be perfectly free
from catarrh.
Peruna Preventive.
Asa preventive of grip, Peruna has
done great deal OF good in the world
by it's beneficial effect upon tn mucous
membranes.
Catarrh has another untowaFd in

After Effects Of Grip.
The whole nervous system is i'm
paired; the digestive organs deranged ;

duced, more or less, ty the grip, and

THE LAueHALor BOY.

The Laughalot boy has returned to town. His features are tanned and his arm are brown; But his eyes are as bright as two eyes may be, And his heart is stin light and merry is he. And the dog in the yard and the bird on the limb Are happy again for the coming of him, And the breezes blow sweeter than ever they blew And the sky seems brighter than ever
 before, And the world is place in which troubles are few. For the Laughaiot boy is at home once more. The Laushalot boy has been out on the hills And climbing the fences and wading the rills: He has rolled on the grass. he has played in the hay, His muscles are strong and his laughter is gay; He has heard the wind passing through acres of corn, He has plucked the sweet ears and is glad he was born; And the breezes blow sweeter than ever they blew.
 And the sky seems brighter than ever
 before, And the world is place ln which
 troubles are few, For the LaughaIot boy is at home
 once more. -s. E. Riser, in Chicago Record-Her- ald.

INEFFECTIVE LABOR.

Some alarm has been expressed at what is declared to be the growing ineneiency of labor. It is claimed by those in position to know that men and women operatives are not giving so good a return for their wages as they used to give when wages were half as large, and the result shows in the things we buy. Our clothes, our shoes. our rubber goods, our wooden ware. our books. our bindings, our wagons our boats. our houses, do not last as they should Everywhere we find indications of nasty, slouchy work. and this is the more irritating because we are asked to pay more nowadays for poorly finished product than we paid for better dozen years ago.
 One reason for the falling on is found in the minute subdivision of indusetries, that makes of mechanic mere tender for a machine-a peg or cog in system. Once a man could make pair of shoes. Now he cuts soles, or punches eyeiets, or stitches. The workman of today does not know his work. but only minute part of it He does what is set for him to do in mechanical manner, without interest in or concern for the result, and perhaps not Knowing what the result is to be As for putting brains into his bcsiness, there is. hardly a place to apply them.
 And it Is by no means impossible that the employer must bear his share in the blame for the decline, fnasmcch as the modern greed has led him to put dishonest materials into his goods. The man who manufactures nothing but shodGy andselIs t fsrw ool ought not to be astonished if his working force mixes shoddy workmanship with the better kind he thinks he fig paying for. With examples of unfair dealing at headquarters. with knowledge that his boss is practicing deception on his customers. it can hardly be expect ed that the workman will exert him. self to give a better return for his wage than he is now giving When the employer accepts the new com inerciaI morality he will have rhe right to demand better service ct

REGARDING MARS.

Mars is inhabited again. How do we know? Prof Percival Lowell has said so, and whatever Percy says may be counted on as an honest-to-good- ness fact. There's no possible doubt about it this time, because Percival has squinted through his glasses and seen at least 59 canals constructed for irrigation purposes, to say noth- ing of hen coops five-cent vaudeville the-a-ters, dusty streets, autos break ing the speed limit, and other ezi- denees of civilization.
 PereiYal also says that Mars is growing somewhat aged and dry. Hor- TOTS! Putting aside age, think of a nice place like Mars getting dry. (Waiter, draw two for Mars) From our sayant we have it that the dry ness is caused by the departure of ceip0and dew. but the dear professor ,ajnS to inform us whether the rain sid dew got sick of their jobs and aiked for more congenial surround ngs, or just naturally petered out. Anyway, it was a mean thing for the :ain and dew to do. Don't miss that.) And so to Mars, feeble and dry, we extend our heartfelt sympathy, the sympathy of one who has lived in land of milk and honey, planked whitefish, and other delicacies. Would that we might extend a helping hand to those far-off planets. Poor Mars!- Milwaukee Sentinel.

At no other period since the finan- cial revolution of 1873 has this power ful institution. which for many years. until recently. has dominated tae money situation throughout the world. found it expedient to resort to such a rate of discount as T per cent. But notwithstanding this extreme measure New York anDears to be able to com mand all the gold that it needs. Al ready 1t has secured more than s4e eoc, ,oc9 in tae precious metal. and r@ gardless Of the high discount rate t will continue to drain the foreign mar met.
 The reason is obvious. The agricul- tural crops of Europe this year. are away below the average. In Scotland and the north of England the grain crop Is reported to have suffered dam age to the extent of sI5.oo0.Ooo. So short is the grain supply of Russia which with America and Argentina practically supplies the world with cereals. that the czar threatens to prohibit it's exportation.
 On the other hand. the wheat and  corn yield in America the past seas on has been one of the greatest oa record. We have more than we re quire: certain European countries are extremely short in their supply and must purchase our surplus: they Great Britain in particular-aave more gold than their necessities de mand: it takes gold to buy breaC- stuns, and logically Europe must trade her surplus of gold for Ameri- ca's surplus of wheat and corn.
 The bar of the great scales of in ternational trade is rapidly assuming a horizontal position. A few more tons of gold-not a great figure in the international equation-and a nor nal status will be established. h the meantime the intelligent Ameri can. guided in his actions by the light of history, and realizing that his coul try is the richest, the greatest and the soundest on earth in this or any age, will cut his suit according to the cloth.

It is now predicted in Washington that the president will recommend separate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico in his forthcoming mes sage. This would be in line with his declarations recently on the question. If Roosevelt will be as vigorous support of recommendation for sin gle statehood as he was in support of his joint statehood recommendation then we may expect that the time is not far distant when Arizona will emerge from the territorial wilderness and add shining star to the present galaxy of states.
