SALOON LICENSES ON
THE BARGAIN COUNTER

A saloon license in Chicago costs
$1,000, but the holder, in the palmy
days of the liquor traffic, has often
sold one for $4,000. There has come
a slump. however, and licenses have
deprecated in value forty per cent.
The liquod interests of Chicago and
of all Illinois feel themselves to be
under the shadow of coming events.

tinently reminds them-speaking of
last years spring elections-that

Which roamed the State about,
And everywhere that vote got. in

THE OLD AND THE NEW
BY DR.. Frank Crane.

Once men wrote with a quill pen
and dried the ink by waving the pa
per in the air or sitting sand upon
it. Then steel pens were invented.
Now they use fountain pens, SO as
to save the time wasted by dipping
the pen in the inkstand. The ink is
dried by blotters. Some men, in a
particular hurry, sign their name
with rubber stamp.
Formerly the business man walk
ed or rode horseback to his office,
which was upstairs over the grocery.
Thus did A. Lincoln, ct al. Now
he goes down on the subway, street
car, or elevated, or in his automo-
bile.
His office is one the ninety-ninth
floor of the Galaxy Office building;
he ascends by the elevator.
He eats his lunch at the noon
club, where he can feed and trans
act business at the same time.
When he wanted to go to another
city, he kissed his wife goodbye,
took a stage-coach, and was gone a
month; now he goes to bed in a
sleeping car and wakes up in the
other city in the morning.
He dimes leisurly in a dining car,
instead of getting out at an eating
station and boiling hard boiled
egg, a cup Of coffee and a sand
witch.
To communicate from New York
to San Francisco used to require
months, from Chicago to Pekin a
year; now it needs but few hours,
by means of the telephone and ca
BILE.
Instead of taking a week for a
Boston man to see his customer in
Albany, it is now an instantaneous
matter of telephones.
He writes forty letters by his
stenographer and typewriter in the
time it used to take to write one by
hand.
He formerly kept his papers tied
in tape in packages and stored in

Personally, the editor Of this pa
per would never have noticed some
ill-natured remarks concerning him
made by an Arcadia editor, unless
perhaps to recommend a mess Of tur-
nip greens to the Arcadian, for his
hver's sake; but one of our asso-
ciates in this office, less forbearing,
called attention to a glazing mis-
statement of fact made by the Ar
cadia editor. Instead of meeting the
issue, the latter continues to harp
on our STYLE" which seems dis
pleasing to this able and erudite
critic; and here, too, we will leave
the answer to another-this time to
lady, the accomplished editor Of
the Sarasota Times, who is one of
only two ladies who own and edit
papers in this State. Mrs. Wilson
comes to our defense in the follow
ing generous and kindly paragraphs:
.. THE Sarasota Times does not
agree with the opinion of the tdItor
OF one of our South Florida papers,
who criticises NJ. F.. Hetherington's
literary style. The State has no
better writer than the versatile edi-
tor, of the Lakeland Telegram. In

In Shinytown the people cling to
their belief that in the Spring all
men should rise, and clean up alley,
yard and lawn, till every sign Of
trash is gone-which scheme is wise.
In Shinytown they burn old hats,
and sticks and rags and bones and
cats and kindred trash; all labor
for the public veal, with fifty-seven
kinds of zeal, and not for cash. This
town is in a class alone; there flies
and germs are quite unknown, year
after year; no doctors joints there
in are built, and all the fell dis
eases wilt, when they come near.
As there are no diseases nigh, the
people don't know how to die; death

"Do more laboring men own their
homes now than under the saloon
regimen" This was one of sixteen
questions sent to fifty cities and
towns of Tennessee some time ago.
The replies showed an increase Of
48 per cent in the number owning
their own homes since prohibition
went into effect.

many thousand more foes, even in

SIMPLE REMEDY
FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei -Four Times a
Day and Be Relieved.

If a few years ago some one had
said you could treat catarrh by
breathing air charged with healing
balsam, the idea would have been nd
iculed and it remained for that emf
nent investigator, R. 7. Booth, to dis
cover in Hyomei this wonderful meth
cd of treatment.
Hyomei has performed almost mir
aeulOus results in treating catarrh and
is today recognized by thousands of
people as the only advertised remedy
for catarrh that can be relied upon
to do Just what it claims. The com
plete outfit of Hyomei is inexpensive
and consists of an inhaler, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe the air Of Hyomei through
the little inhaler druggists furnish
with it for a few minutes four times
day and il will help the worst case
of catarrh. II soothes and heals the
mucous membrane Of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects com
plete and lasting relief.
In Dallas there are scores of well
known people who have been relieved
Of eatarrh by Hyomei- II il does not
help YOU Conrad Stafrin will return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence thai can be
offered as to his faith in this remedy.
