There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatments pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case II
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

America is not fond of many
evenings at home, and with the
development of transportation fa-
cilities that bring the show within
the list of the ruralist's possible
amusements there is rapidly in
creasing tendency of out-of-town
folk to turn to show going as a
time killer.
1t is noticeable that while the
picture shows fairly swarm in
every city. and vaudeville houses
multiply without star wing, b e
growth of the number of the
'tirst-class" houses is not large
outside of New York. The out
look just now is that there will be
a reduction of the number which
two theatrical .ssyndicates believed,
two or three years ago, might
prove profitable in the minor
American cities.
The popularity of vaudeville, at
perhaps an average of 20 cents

looking solely for the cheapest

did not kill cheap melodrams be-
cause they were cheaper, but be-
cause they offered a greater varie-
ty of entertainment. The vaude-
vile houses would have perished
if the lower prices of picture shows
had been the death of melodrama.

Assessment Of high license taxes will
not help to reduce the liquor traffic. but
might increase 1t, according to Rev.
Lewis z. Purdum assistant pastor OF First
Congregational Church. in a sermon yes
terday.
There is, OF course. some advantage
in charging high license fees" said Rev.
Mr. Purdum. High license decreases
the number OF saloons. 1t eliminates
great many of the cheap, filthy, grog-
shops 1t makes II a little more difficult
for the poorer people to spend their time
and money in the saloon. But there is
a disadvantage in high license.
I'VE must not overlook the fact that
when YOU prune a tree II bears more
fruit than II did before When you make
the saloon a seemingly clean, respect
able, attractive place 1t will tempt q
great many young men, and older ones,
too. who would not be tempted by the
low, disgusting saloon. And we must re-
member that We have a duty to per-
form in regard to the so-called respect
able people as well as to those who are
less patriotic.
1T is claimed by some" continued the
Rev. Mr.. Purdum, in upholding the
Jones-works excise law, that the. pas
sage OF such laws would interfere with
personal liberty. II is said that this Is
a free country. II is, but there is limit
to our freedom.
I'VE are free to move as We please so
long as We remain within the circle OF
right We are not free to cross the cir
cumference, and when We make alco-
holic liquor and give 1t or sell it to our
brothers. thereby putting them in such

more than 50 per cent of railroad officials
will not employ them, We are not keep
ing within the circle OF right. We are
treading on ground where freedom is un-
known. Therefore this country does have
a right to pass temperance laws and does
not thereby interfere with personal lib

yesterday that the baby is to be auc-

stoutly denied.
II is said that those now in charge Of
the baby recognize in the food show an
excellent means of placing the child with
