Belgium, Switzerland and Italy, and
doubtless others, have developed the
science OF military aeronautics to some
extent. although in smaller degree
than the great leaders.
II the balance of power in the Euro
pean struggle is TO be decided by
aerial artillery, as many far-seeing
experts assert, this comparison of the
strength OF the powers in dirigibles
alone becomes of tremendous signiii-
canoe. Mr.. Lawson, who recently fur
nished the United States war depart
ment with these figures showing the
aerial strength OF every nation. writes
to the New York World that while the
radius OF action of an aeroplane with
full war equipment is approximately
900 miles, coming and going over an
enemy's country-that is. COO miles
without landing-the radius OF the
latest type of Zeppelin dirigible. war
equipped. is COO miles each way, or
1900 miles without alighting. The
up-to-date dirigible is a strong. re-
liable, swift battle cruiser of the air.

can maintain itself in the air continu-
ousiy for IS hours, covering 200

Having known Farmer Burns, we in
Rock Island are glad TO endorse the
compliment paid him in the following
from rhe Clinton Herald: Frank
Gotch might or might not make a
good governor. The chances are that
he would measure up TO the average.
Bur IL Is a sure bet that if old Farmer
Burns were state treasurer without a
bond. every cent OF the states money
would be accounted for. There is a
strain of honesty running through the
wrestlers Iowa has turned out which
has marked them as exceptions in
sport OF doubtful ethics. Nobody ever
heard of Burns or GOtch framing a
match"

BLAMING THE TARIFF.

! Republican politicians have not vet
/ charged that the new tariff law brought
/ on the armed conflict in Europe, but
/ some of them are getting pretty close
TO that accusation. 4 few of the small
/ fry here and there brazenly admit
/ that the new tariff act is responsible
/ for decreased treasury receipts, result
ing. as everybody knows, from the
| European war, which has brought i'm
pOrtatiOns to a minimum. OF course.
this charge sounds foolish, but it is,
nevertheless. being made
The New York Press, an orthodox
republican paper of standing. has
taken notice of this charge. which it
repudia.es. The Press says:
Nothing could be more unfair than
70 attribute the present collapse OF
treasury receipts 10 the tariff law, and
nothing could be more foolish than to
inject Il tariff argument into any spe-
cial measure aimed TO provide more
revenue in the emergency which has
grown out of the war in Europe Any
body with the very least gumption
knows that, since the war struck di-
rectly and almost entirely at the reve-
nue. produced from tariff duties, the
bigger the proportion of receipts from
such tariff duties had been the worse
the revenues would have been hurt.
Our old tariff revenues, therefore,
would have been more severly cut by
tn war than these. The internal reve-
nue. duties, for the most part, are still
left. the income tax revenues are sim
left; it is only the tariff revenues that
are gone. If there hadn't been any
thing but tariff revenues there
wouldn't have been anything at all
left. The big thing used to be the
tariff revenues.

balance of foreign trade, /

In our favor
Thus II is. from every point of |
view. that the tariff OF last month goes /
on the boards as an argument for any
party or any faction and must stay on /
the boards as long as the war lasts.
For. while all the nations of Europe
are at one another's throats. instead OF
raising and manufacturing products
70 sell TO US. along with the rest of
the world. the tariff, which was design
ed and put into operation to let the

ed States, doesn't mean and cant mean .

Simple Facts About Catarrh.
Drady,M.D.

What causes catarrh? The causes
are too numerous to mention. But
anyway, catarTh is not a disease, only
a symptom. The primary significance
of the word catarrh is "a flow" As
commonly employed the word means
an acute or chronic Inflammation of
a mucous membrane-the lining of
any part of the body that communi-
Gates with the outer air.
Nasal catarrh is the usual condition
II is symptomatic of some local or
general disease. For instance. ade-
noids and enlarged tonsils cause nasal
catarrh. Thickened turbinated bones
in the nose cause catarrh. Foreign
bodies in the nose cause one-sided
catarrh. tuberculosis, heart disease
and kidney disease are often accom-
panied with chronic nasal catarrh.
Over-eating. excessive clothing. de-
fective ventilation of living rooms or
bed rooms. alcoholism and insufficient
exercise are predisposing factors of
nasal catarrh. Fatigue is rather a
factor Of acute catarrh-coryza-
cold in the head.
Practical Physiology.
The nasal passage runs straight
backward when the head is held erect,
not upward as many imagine. When
YOU use an atomizer. therefore,
do not direct the spray toward the
roof of the nose. but direct ii straight
back. And always have the solution
warm.
Normally the turbinate, or spongy
bones in the nose serve to keep the
air suitably moistened, TO remove
dust and bacteria. and TO warm it be
fore IL enters the lungs. When chron-
ically infamed these bodies become
thickened and obstruct the nasal pas
ages. Sometimes they require surgi-
cal removal. But remember, they are
not "growths," but simply infiamed
tissue.
Some Necessary Don'ts.
Don't snuff things into the nose.
This is dangerous and rarely helps
your catarrh. Don't use strong salt
water; it irritates and aggravates
