There is more catarrn in this sec- tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally ID doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

USERS OF TOBACCO
PAYING WAR TAX
Representative Dawson Discoy-
ers a Joker" in Existing
Federal Revenue Laws

WASHINGTON, March 30.-What is
designated as a '.joker'' that cost the
consumers of tobacco in this country
nearly s45.ooo,ooo was found today in
the existing revenue laws by Repre-
sentative Dawson OF iowa, who at once
introduced a bill to correct the error
by restoring tobacco packages to their
original sizes
Under the Dingley tariff the two
ounce packages of tobacco sell to the
consumer at cents each and the four
ounce packages for 10 cents. In 1898 a
war revenue tax of 6 cents a pound
additional was levied. At the same
time, in order to serve the convenience
of the trade, authorization was given
for the reduction Of the sizes of pack
ages from two. three and four ounce
to one and two-thirds, two and a half
and three and third ounces, thus en-
abling the smoker to procure a cent
and a 10 cent package of tobacco "at
the store"
The war revenue tax was repealed,
but the packages of tobacco remained
the same size. Since 1902 the consumer
Of tobacco has been paying the equiva-
lent of war revenue tax to manufac-
turers-

throwing fresh fuel on the naval agita-
ton.
England's foremost admiral always
has been outspoken concerning his
views and since his return to London,
after having been relieved of the COM
mand of the Channel fleet, he has de-
clared he would do all in his power to
stir up the country to insist upon a
large and particularly more efficient
navy.
Lord Charles had a long discussion
on naval affairs with Premier Asqutth
today. He regards the shortage OF re-
serve stores as the chief weakness of
the navy. although the state of repairs
of the smaller craft is unsatisfactory
to him.
There are good reasons for believing
that the cabinet has already decided to
build eight Dreadnoughts and has noti-
fed the ship builders Of the intention
to lay down the second four within the
fiscal year.

way in the direction of Westminster,
headed by a band playing the "Marsei1-

parliament barred.
The police had been instructed to
avoid making arrests as far as possible,
but because of the repeated and deter

was impossible to stop them by other
means. Consequently dozen of the
women were taken into custody. The
women are charged with assaulting the

the failure of the municipal incinerator

Warren Blakesley, a Hayes politician,

LEAGUE OF JUSTICE
OF NATIONAL SCOPE
Rev. William r. RAIDER Tells oil
Fight Against Corruption in
Eastern Cities

The organization of national
league OF justice in the United States.
patterned after the local league Of
justice, is imminent, according to Rev.
William r. RAIDER, pastor of Calvary
Presbyterian church and an active OFF,
Ger in the local league, who returned
Saturday from tour Of the eastern
states.
THE plan to organize this national
reform league. which had its origin in
San Francisco, with the local league
of Justice, was received with favor in
the east" declared Doctor RAIDER last
night. Il talked the matter over with
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, president of
the national municipal league of
Philadelphia, and he looked With much
favor upon the idea It was suggested
that q national convention of the re-
form leaders IN the various cities of the
United States would prove practical
way OF organizing the national move
ment. Such an organization would re-
inforce the reforms IN many of the
cities and so mold public opinion that
corruption in municipal offices would
be impossible because of the lack of
opportunity.
MOVEMENT ALREADY STARTED
The foundation for this national
league has been started and the move
ment is making rapid headway. It is
believed among the persons interested
in flse national league movement that
the nationsl municipal league. alreadx
in existence. will prove a valuable basis
for the main organization Through
the municipal league the vision of a
national league OF justice is to be
realized
"As ] toured the principal eastern
cities I found that the need of a na-
tional reform body was great neces-
sity-that the largest cities are quietly
undergoing a general house cleaning.
In each Of the cities a subtle influence
opposed to the work OF reform could be
felt by those who had hand in the in
vestigation of municipal corruption

addressed q similar meeting, at which
he declared that the need OF national

daily, and that the support OF such an
organization would prove successful as
