IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Egg Market Firmer, but No Scarcity
Yet--Weather Affects Receipts.

Boston, March 4.--There is little
change in the local butter, cheese and
egg markets from last reports save for a
frmer feeling around New York and a
fear of similar conditions locally. There
is no scarcity of eggs in the local mar
ket, but spell of such weather as New
York is having would affect the re-
ceipts; hence, the firm attitude of re-
ceivers Fine butter keeps clasely sold
up and firm, but the market still favors
buyers on the undergrades. Cheese is
quiet but firm in the lack of large sup
plies.

CATARRH LEADS TO
CONSUMPTION
1t Requires a Blood Remedy--Hood's
Sarsaparilla Is the Best.

Catarrh is as much a blood disease as
scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be re-
lieved, but it cannot be removed by sim
ply local treatment. 1t causes headache
and dizziness, 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 weakening of the
delicate lung tissues, which leads to con-
sumption.
Old reliable Hoods Sarsaparilla is
found to be of great service in the treat
ment of catarrh. 1t goes to the seat of
the trouble, purifies 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. 1t builds up,
Ask your druggist for Hoods, and get
it to-day.--Advt.

Cutting Out Free Seeds.
(LincOln Co. Times.)

(LlnCOln 20. llHleS.J
Congress is going to drop the free
seed business and it is high time. Os-
tensibly the sending out of free seeds
to the constituents of congressman
Vas to encourage agriculture and gar
dening, and on the packets of seeds
was the request that the recipients
send to the department of agriculture
tho results of the experiments. This
was a request that probably not one
person in ten thousand complied with.
and the few reports that were made
we're doubtless thrown into the de-
partment waste basket. AS matter
of fact this free seed business was a
cheap instrument in the hands of con-
gressmen to get on good terms with
their constituents. Almost every
body felt good in receiving packet
of poppy, radish, lettuce and other
seeds from their representative in
congress. 1t made him feel that he
was not forgotten. In fact SO weak
is human nature that II voter was
inadvertently forgotten he felt that
he was sighted, and no one likes to
be ignored. Jones of Pumpkin Hol-
low may not have planted the seeds
when he got them, but 1t made him
feel good to think that his congress-
man, Notwithstanding that he was
stepped to the ears in affairs of state,
was thoughtful enough to send him
packet of seeds with his compliments.
