MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption.

If people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be
warned so often about this fatal dis
ease, which, when neglected, invari-
ably ends up in Consumption, at the
cost OF millions of lives every year.
Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the
right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
but temporary ease Although the
effects are often seen in the form Of
pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble is internal, and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood to all
parts of the system, so that the mu-
cOus membrane or internal lining Of
the body is thoroughly indicated.

DOING GREAT STUNTS
WITH WILD ANIMALS
Carnival Attracts Large
CrOwd--GOOd Shows in II

The Johnny Jones Carnival Co, is
making good with all of its promises
in Americas this week. Large crowds
have been in attendance since the
various shows opened on Monday and
the outlook is promising for con-
tinued good attendance during the
remaining three days of the week.
There are the usual outside features
of an ordinary carnial, the Ferris
Wheel, the ocean wave, the merry
go-round. the ball galleries, etc, each
of which has its army of devotees. But
the main attractions are under can
vas. Chief among these is the wild
animal show, undoubtedly the best
ever seen in this section.
Capt. Curley Wilson, the head train
er of the show, does some remarkable
stunts with two royal Bengal tigers,
probably the finest specimens of these
animals in captivity, with polar
bear and tiger in the arena at the
same time, and with an untameable
India lion.
One of the three lions on exhibit
ton has been so tanned by the trainer
that it is as affectionate to him as a
great Newfoundland dog would be,
apparently enjoying his caresses and
eager to be in his company. With
this lion Capt Wilson goes through
some striking performances, the ami
NAL eating meat out of his mouth,
wrestling with him, submitting to the
trainer carrying him on his shoulder,
and otherwise showing perfect sub
mission to his masters will.
George Walters, a boy trainer, does
some remarkably fine and highly dam
gerous work with four beautiful
leOpards and a silver wolf, all five
being in the arena with him at the
same time
In a cage in the tent are three
five months old lion cubs Down at
the depot in the car, with the mother
lioness, are four other cubs, these
little ones being but six days old.
If nothing else in the carnival is
seen the animal show should not be
allowed to go unnoticed 1t is sell
dom that an opportunity is presented
to see as good an exhibition as this
in Americas. There are various other
attractive shows, all going to make
up a carnival that has been in sue
cessful operation in the South for a
number of years
From New York to the North
Pole" a panorama with electrical
features that are startling in their
realism, accompanied by an exceed
ingly instructive and entertaining lee
ture, is drawing many into the large
tet where it is. given at every per-
Torrance The Plantation Band and
Singers. a musical and comedy show
that is delight to young and old, is
another star attraction that helps to
keep up the high reputation of the en-
tire carnival.

PREPARING FOR
THE NEXT CENSUS
Only Small Increase in Cost
Over Twelfth.

Washington, d. c., Dec 2.-The di-
rector of the census has just issued
his annual report to the Secretary
Of Commerce and Labor. After re-
viewing the work of the year and de-
scribing the current work of the bu-
reau, and the director proceeds to
the subject of the next census of the
United States. that of 1910
In regard to its cost, he says
Il estimate that the cost of the
thirteenth census, including the cost
of the conducting the four annual in
vestigations and the two biennial re-
ports that the census office is requir-
ed to make simultaneously with the
taking of that census, will be $14,-
10000. The lump sum appropriation
to be provided in the appropriation
act for the next fiscal year should
be not less than $4,000, 000."
Excluding the cost of the four an
nual Investigations and the two bi.
ennial reports, the probable cost Of
the census proper is estimated al
$12 $3.50, 900. The cost of the las
census, that of 1900, was So. 52O 600
In other words, the director is plan.
ming to take the census of 1910 at al
increase in cost of only $4,000 over
the census of 1900, and this in spite
of the enormous growth in the popu.
lation during the decade, a growth
largely contributed by foreign-borr
people who do not speak English, {
class which it is expensive and diff.
cult to enumerate. Formerly the
increase in the cost of the census
from decade to decade has been about
30 per cent.
The director adds:
The fact that the office is now
organized at the highest point Of
efficiency. that no time will be lost
in getting ready, in testing the apti-
tude of green clerks, and in develop
ing new systems means fully $1,000
900 saving in the organization of the
thirteenth census
Another important means of bring
ing about this saving is the fact thai
the bureau will build and own the
necessary tabulating apparatus in
stead of renting it, as heretofore. Or

been used in tabulating the census
of 1900, and which was owned and
operated by a private company, was
withdraw from the bureau of the
census because the company and the
director could not agree on the rem
tai
The withdrawal compelled the d.
rector to ask Congress for an appro-
priation for experimental work in de
veloping new mechanisms to be own
ed, controlled, and operated by the
government. The results of the ex-
perimentaI work have exceeded all
expectations. The new mechanisms
invented are of greater speed and
efficiency than those they supersede,
and can be built and operated at d
saving in money. Several of the new
tabulating machines were successful
ly tried out in the tabulation of the

AMERICUS Is LONG ON
MUSIC BY THE BAND
Three BandSsOn Street at
Same Time.

Music by the band" was the order
of the day in Americas yesterday,
and as the leader swung his baton
the three bands played alternately at
Rylander's corner to the delight of
streetful audiences. First in line was
the Italian band of a dozen pieces,
playing with the carnival shows here
this week. This is one of the finest
bands, numbers considered, that has
played here in a long while. Every
note is clear cut and the perfect har-
mony of the instruments blends in
sweetest cadence. 1t is an all Ital-
ian band and each member a master
of his instrument The band of the
Jesse James show gave two concerts
as WELL and good ones. too, while the
colored band connected with the Car
nival was also in musical evidence.
The Italian band was an easy favor
lite, and it's concert this evening at
Z O'Clock will attract large aud
iece as it has every night this week.
