ClTlRRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION
It Requires 1 Blood Remedy
Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the Best.

Catarrh is as much blood dis
ease as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t
may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
It causes headache and dizzlness,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing
and affects the voice, hurts the
stomach, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health.
One of its worst effects is the weak
ening of the delicate lung tissues,
which leads to consumption.
Old reliable Hoods Sarsaparilla
is found to be Of great service in
the treatment Of catarrh. 1t goes
to the seat of the trouble, purihes
the blood, and is so successful that
it is known as the best remedy for
this common disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. It.
builds up. Ask your druggist for it.

The Life of Henry Labouchere by Al
gar Labouchere Thorold will interest
alike the student Of English politics. and
of character. He was born with silver
perhaps we should say gold-spoon in
his mouth. In early life he YVES an in
veterate gambler and lover of advent
ure, and that spirit, and his diplomatic
service, made him familiar with all parts
of the world. In journalism. in diplom-
acy and in the English parliament he was
unique figure. There was but one Lab
by, as he was familiarly called. He
was for some time an atrache of the
British legation at Washington, and was
ever after friend of this country and
an admirer of its system of government.
His position in British politics may be
best stated in the homely phrase "agin
the government. He was radical of
radicals. He stood for home rule for
Ireland, for the disestablishment of the
English church, and for abolishing the
House of Lords. He was caustic critic
of the British policy in Egypt and in
South Africa, and the chapters devoted
to these questions are interesting and IL
Eliminating. Another chapter contains
what seems to be all that can be said for
and against Socialism. Mr.. Hyndman,
the well-known socialist leader, was to
speak in Mr.. Labouchere's parliament
airy district and the latter occupied the
platform with him. Those opposed to
socialism will find Mr.. Labouchere's ar
guments conclusive, while socialists will
no doubt continue to pin their faith to
the principles set forth by Mr.. Hynd-
man. Most interesting are the chapters
devoted to the seige of Paris, and Mr..
Labouchere's letters to the London Daily
News give the best account extant OF con-
ditions in the beseiged city. Later Mr..
Labouchere was the owner of the Daily
News, and for time the manager Qf a
London theatre. Then he became con-
tributor to that well-known London
weekly, The World, edited by Edmund
Yates, lone of Dickens young men. -
He wrote on finance, but did not confine
himself strictly to that subject. Then,
without any disagreement with Mr..
Yates, or desire to compete with him, he
decided to start weekly paper of his
own on similar lines, and would have
called it The Tyre had he not been dis
suaded by his friends, and the new pa
per appeared as Truth. 1t was success
from the start. Indeed, Mr.. Labouchere
deposited SIS, 900 to the credit of the paper
and later So, 500 additional, but the fund
was never drawn upon. At first Mr..
Labouchere wrote nearly the whole pa
per, but gradually dropped out, rarely
going to the office, and finally contribut-
ing only the parliamentary articles.
Then he sold the paper at less than its
real value to his associate who had con-
Quoted the paper successfully for many
years. Mr.. Labouchere was, as his name
would indicate, of French Desert, and,
as his biographer says, a Frenchman
rather than an Englishman. He was
noted for his wit, which was the more
conspicuous as it is not common trait
of his English countrymen. This bog
raphy is now in our public library.

nearby residences and stores, and the situation
became alarming at one time. The tall chin

blew heavy cement cap off the top,which fell
in fragments on the roof and into the chimney.
A slight explosion seemed to dislodge brick and

the fire in some degree. Chief Shute of the
