The U. s. Government in its "Pure
Food Law" does not Endorse" or guar
antee" any preparation, as some manu-
facturers in their advertisements would
make it.appear. In the case OF medicines
the law provides that certain drugs shall
be mentioned on the labels, if they are
ingredients of the preparations. Ely's
Cream Balm, the Well-known family
remedy for cold in the head, hay fever
and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain single
injurious drug, so the makers have simp-
ly to print the fact that it complies fully
with all the requirements OF the law.

ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

cure now known to the medical fraternity.

requires constitutional treatment. Halls

directly upon the blood and mucous sur

the foundation OF the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

fails to cure. Send for list ofteSti monlalS.

AN interesting chapter to the Aldrich
tariff is contributed by that eminent states
man, Senator Johnston, of Alabama. He
shows 10 the satisfaction of any reasona-
bic person that the unreaSonably high
cost of living is directly caused by the
outrageouSly high tariff, and that the trusts
are the natural offspring OF protective
tariff. 1.-The trusts" he says, Flourish
only under the shadow OF high protec-
tive walls" Standing behind these walls,
the trusts shut off foreign competition and
destroy domestic competition by CONSOLE
dations and absorptions, increasing the
cost to the buyer while reducing the price
OF production. Speaking of the wooden
schedule, Senator Johnson says:
ain all the United States there were
perhaps per cent of the people directly
financially interested in maintaining the
exorbitant tariff on wooden goods, and
perhaps less than per cent OF this 5per
cent got 81 per cent OF the spoilS beyond
living, and yet every citizen from in
fancy 10 tottering age must have WOODEN
garments and blankets, not only for his
comfort, but to protect health and even
life itself. We doubt not that every in
crease in cost of these goods has added
its thousands OF victims to the silent ten
ants OF the cemeteries and graveyards;
yet every effort to reduce even the most
prohibitory duties, so as to permit every
American citizen to be warmly clad at
reasonable cost, was persiStently voted
down."
Senator Johnson speaks the words of
truth and Soberness, and yet so powerful
are the trusts and so effective their meth
DDS OF controlling nominations and cleo
lions, that even though the people know
fire iniquity of Aldrich tariff and his char
acter of legislation, blind partisanship still
controls them.

SENATOR ALDRICH, cut deeper than he
haSever been cut before. has issued state
ment replying to Senator BriStow'S ex-
poSure of his connection with the Rubber
Trust. He admits that he is one OF the
big stockholders in this monopoly, and
that the tariff was actually increased on
rubber Iproducts in the bill which he
forced through the Senate, but declares
that the tariff does not give the company
any increase in profits. Senator Aldrich'S
statement is neither frank nor truthful-it
cannot be and at the same time make a
pretense TO decency or fairness.
If the tariff is not intended to give the
manufacturer, freedom from competition
and thereby enable him to fix his own
prices, what is it for,anyway?
