500 Reward, 500.

The readers Of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that's Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list Of testimov

the Exposition pensioners, who
have been drawing from SIS, 900
to $4,000 a month from a pie

certainty" that the patriots who

No Babies Born After Year 2015

There will be no children in
the United States under five
years Of age in the year 1920.
Babies, accordingly will have dis
appeared from this country as
early as 2015.
This is the mathematical con-
clusion of Prof. Walter F. Wilcox
Of Cornell University announced
to the American Statistical Asso-
citation at it's concluding session.
The only hope Of seeing babies
in the United States after 1920,
according to Prof. Wilcox's cal
culation, is in possible importation
from France. France, he says,
will continue to have babies
eighty years after the United
States has quit.
There is propertionately more
race suicide in the United States
than in France, said Prof. Will
cox.
An endowment for the stork
was recommended to the Ameri-
can Sociological, Association by
DR.. Elliott Howard, professor Of
sociology in the university Of
Nebraska. In an address on
THE Social Control Of Domestic
Relations" he declared the state
should honor motherhood by en-
downing mothers.
Parents who raise families, :"
he said, ARE entitled to payment
and security from the state the
same as the soldier or the judge
or any other public servant. The
woman who gives a child to the
state should be allowed an in
come by the state for taking care
of that child. That would make
the mother the ruler in the home,
That would be social justice. .
