quarters billion gallons for the years

THE NEXT CENSUS.

In view of the approaching decen-
NAL year. the house committee on
the census is one of the most impor-
tant OF those made up by the speak
er. The present congress will make
provision for the census of 1910,
upon which will be based new APP
presentation in congress and Of votes
in the election of president and vice
president of the United States.
1t was no mean ambition, there
fore, which prompted Mr.. Booher, of
the fourth Missouri district, to seek
a place on the census committee. 1t
Is a position in which an earnest and
competent Missourian will haves OPP
portunity to serve his state and his
section we'll. Mr. Hamlin, of the sew
enth district. the Missourian appoin-
ted to the committee, has an import
ant trust to execute.
The persistent complaints that
democratic states were cheated out
of representatives in congress and
electoral votes by the census of 1900
should not be repeated after the
enumeration of 1910. Every demo-
cratic member of the committee
should be vigilant and insistent that
the act providing for the census be
so framed that there shall be no
ground for complaint, says the St.
Louis Republic.
1t should be made mandatory that
sufficient numbers of enumerators
be employed in every state to find
and count all the people in it. 1t is
charged in Texas that this was not
done in this state In 1900, or at
east that very many more enumera-
tors were sent into republican states
known to have a much smaller pop
ulation. This should not be permits
aible in the coming census.
insufficient numbers of enumera-
tors being lsrCely responsible for an
inaccurate count. there should be
some certain rule for their appoint
ilent in the several states. In Mis-
souri, and the southwest the growth
Of population hes been so great since
1900 that the task of counting the
population Will require a larger force
than is indicated l. the figures of
that year.
The south and the southwest
should in the next census make the
most magnificent showing of growth
in population and industry they have
ever made. They will certainly do
so If the census is fairly made. Ev-
cry mfmber of congress from these
sections should constitute himself a
committee of one to see that there
are no errors of omission in his dis
trict in the next count of heads.

CATARRH YIELDS.
To Healing Air Of HyOmei. Sold I'm
der Guarantee by Hood & Curtin


Catarrh is the most prevalent dis
ease known to humanity. Probably
ninety per cent of the people in this
country suffer at one time or anoth-
er with this common disease.
1t is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomei,
which may be called the direct meth
cd of treating catarrh, as its medica-
ton, taken in with the air you
breathe, goes directly to every air
cell in the nose, throat and lungs;
kills all catarrhal germs; heals the
irritated mucous membrane and vi
taliZes the tissues so as to render ca
tarrh no longer possible.
Hood & Curtin give their absolute
guarantee to refund the price to any
catarrh sufferer that Hyomei fails
to benefit. 233
