Some Results
Of Catarrh
Even Slight Cases Of catarrh Have
Terrible consequences.

Every case of catarrh, Of course, is
not fatal. Nor does every case result
In consumption or bronchitis, but
nevertheless they are very frequent.
No man or woman knows what his or
her case of catarrh will lead to. Men
of robust health have succumbed 20
resulting consumption and partial
, idiocy. Women Of strong vitality
have become nervous wrecks and vic
tins Of bronchitis. Your good health
is not always preventive against
the catarrh germs.
The more you feel sure there is no
danger of the catarrh resulting in a
disease more serious. the more danger
there is; simply because you neglect
yourself. This happens in hundreds
of cases and we see it recorded almost
daily in the letters we receive. IF

frequent expression. showing that our

Eminent Doctor
Says Blindness
Due to Catarrh
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.)

\ L
London, Aug. 6.-Dr. H. Manning
Fish, Of Joliet, ILL.,, declared at the
medical congress that most Of the
blindnes in the world is the result of
catarrh in the upper nasal cavities or
the bony cells composing the roof of
the nostriks.
Dr. Fish described his experience In
thirty-six cases. covering a period Of
several years, claiming that in each of
these, immediate improv ement of the
vision followed the effective treatment
Of the diseased nasal cavities, and ad-
vised that in cases of loss of vision fol-
lowing grip, measles scarlet fever and
kindred ailments, relief be sought
through treatment Of the noses of the
patients.
/ Catarrh is caused by germ which
must be destroyed before the catarrh
Itself can be cured. If not cured
blindness may result. An extended
history of the many extraordinary
cures effected by the Gauss treatment
will probably be brought to the atten-
ton of the next international meeting
of the medical congress.

DIFFERENCE In FUEL VALUE.

Roughly, a pound of coal has the
heating power of two pounds of
wood, although the heavier the
wood, generally speaking, the great
er its fuel value, just as anthracite
coal is more valuable than bitumi-
nous, and the harder and heavier
the bituminous coal the greater its
value.
The relative worth of heavier
wood is illustrated in the lower val
ue of such light woods as cotton
wood, willow and poplar, as COM
pared with mountain mahogany,
which is so heavy it will not float
in water. Generally, also, slow
growing woods have greater fuel
value than the more rapid growing.
Mahogany cuts fairly easy when
green and can be broken when dry,
but in cold weather the edge of an
AK is easily broken in attempting to
chop it, On account of the intense
heat generated in its combustion
care must be taken not warp stoves,
and a bed of Goals has been known
to hold fire for three days.
A ton of coal is equal to a cord
and half or two cords of wood.
Notwithstanding coal has higher
fuel value, and the fact that in parts
of Wyoming and Utah rich deposits
able that il half dozen of the
larger cities of the intermountain
region were excepted, more wood
than coal is used as fuel This is
due to the lack of transportation IA
cilities and the more convenient ac-
feasibility of the wood in nearby
canyons, usually within the national
forests.
In central Nevada as in southern
Utah, pinyon and cedar are the
woods most used for fuel. Sage
brush is substituted because of
scarcity of these in the region of
Paradise Valley and the mining
camp of Tuscarora. 1t is surprise
to many to learn that fuel can be
obtained in regular crops, at inter-
walls of a fews years, by taking the
main stalk of bunch of sagebrush
Settlers usually obtain their supply
for several years in clearing their
land. Although there is much litter,
=, sagebrush burns so readily there is
scarcely any fuel that will cause in
tense heat so quickly, or with which
meal can be cooked with so little
weight of wood. Furthermore, a
man who has tried both asserts no
greater labor is required in prepar-
| ing the sagebrush for given
amount of cooking than cutting oak
or other larger timber in the east,
hauling it home, and preparing it
for the range.
