nized parents, the whole country is stirred to action. There is sharp in quisition by every school board. The doors are examined; fire escapes are ordered; fire drills are made compul. sorry and regular features of school discipline. The solicitude of parents everywhere forces activity where there has been carelessness.
 But year after year preparations |are made for celebration which means certain injury for 5000 per sons, many of them children. Many of these injuries will be fatal. Oth- CTS leave marks the rest of life.
 A great calamity comes to city ill the form of an earthquake or fire. There is loss of several million dol lars. The sympathy of the world is manifested in the contribution of large amounts. But at the same time the regular annual outlay for noise and fireworks goes on, involving a total expenditure of more than $20,- 000,000 for which there is not the slightest return in anything of tan gible value.
 4 recent writer has called atten- tion to the fact that the United States is the only civilized nation in the world that tolerates such a celebra- tion of great day. Others with equal reason for thanksgiving and pride have devised ways of commem- oration far more worthy than the barbaric one by which Americans re- call the spirit of 1776.
 It may take a generation of edu- cation to show the folly of the con- ventional Fourth of July celebration. But the tremendous aggregate of an- nual loss from this cause ought to work a reform in people ordinarily considered blessed with good share of plain common sense.
 The "safe and sane" Fourth is not yet popular, but it is far to be pre- ferred to the usual celebration with it's accompaniment of noise personal injury, death and appalling loss from fire.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes- timonials.

The annual appeal is being made by the newspapers throughout the country for a "safe and sane Fourth of July. It is a matter which can not be too much emphasized, says the Chicago Tribune.
 There is little doubt that an in creasingly large number of parents dread the approach of the national holiday each year. The long list of accidents always is appalling. The constant fear lest the fatalities come to the individual home is natural one.
 The insurance company officials join the parents in their protests against the methods of observance which have so long prevailed. When they scan the reports of destructive fires properly charged against so- called patriotism there is small won der at their attitude.
 A recent writer makes some com parisons which are striking and which should awaken serious thought. The training of American people has been such that comparisons and statements of certain results make slight impression. But it is worth while to think while to think a while about our barbaric celebration.
 For example: When a school build ing in a community takes fire and many children are burned to death in sight of their helpless and ago.
