AFINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND ctSTS
LITTLE

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during the
past few years that its treatment
should be understood by all.
Science has fully proved that Caarrh
is constitutional disease and theefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Sprays. inhalers. salves and nose duches
seldom if ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further Town
the air passages and into the lungs
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal leaf
ness or. head noises. go to your drggist
and get one ounce OF Parmint nuble
strength Take this home and addto it
!. pint Of hot water and 4 ounce Of
take one tablespoonful times a da.
This will often bring quick relief rom
the distressing head-noises, clogged nos
trils should open, breathing becomeeasy
and mucous stop dropping into the tl:oat.
This treatment has slight tonic ac-
ton which makes it especially effective
in cases where the blood has becomethin
and weak. 1t is easy to make. tstes
pleasant and costs little. Every prison
who wishes to be free from this desruc
tive disease should give this treatment
trial.-AdV.

not get back to earth and acknowledge
that a protective policy permits the
mills to run and the men to work. and

eminent?
The President says We have been
afraid to compete with the world.
The American people answer that
they are not obliged to compete with
the world on the level Of the poorest
fed. poorest clothed. and most ignor-
ant. II other nations are satisfied
with their wallowings, let them wal
low, but Americans do not propose to
descend to that level to crafty a

The Government Ballot.

Mile. Maclezowa. premiere danseuse
of the Diaghileff Company, Russian
amusement concern, says that to be
successful in the United States the
ballet must be a Government affair
The Democrats have already put it in
that class. President Wilson is going
through daily practice in side-stepping
on the foreign policy. The majority in
Congress are doing some toe-dancing
on the question Of preparedness. Sec
rotary Of the Treasury McAdoo is do
ing some astonishing stunts in net
balancing. Secretary Daniels is giving

pect Of the European post-bellum

Redfeld the st. Vitus' dance. They

Cost Of Operating American Ships.

The Boston Chamber of Commerce
mas issued a booklet in support of the
argument for ship subsidy. To show
that it costs more to run a vessel un-
der the American flag than under a
foreign ensign, the report cites the ex-
perience of various shipping firms.
For example. W. r. Grace & Co. find
that the wages and food of steamship
under the American flag AMOUNT to
s21773 month. compared with 1891 I'M
der the British flag. They state: "On
British steamers which we recently
transferred to the American flag the
foreign crews struck for American
wages the day of the transfer and re-
ceived them" The crews of nine
steamers transferred by the United
Steel Products Company. which
handles the export trade Of the United
Steel Corporation. received wages ag-
gregating $12,47S under British regis
try, per month, and 1851 under
American registry, an increase Of 40. "a
per cent. An American freighter Of
5000 tons carries 80 men at 1855 a
month wages. while a British ship Of
equal capacity carries q men at 1894. &C
per month. 1t is the prevailing opinion
that unless something is done to equal
lze matters, ships which registered un-
Ger the American flag under the Act Of
August Is. 1914, will return to foreign
registry after the war.

Want. a "Non. Partisan" Tariff Board.

President Wilson's 18th hour CONVEX
sion to the idea of a tariff board to de-
termine scientifically the amount OF
protection required by the various in
dustries of this country comes too late
TO inspire much confidence, in view OF
the record Of himself and his party in
opposition to that important institu-
ton. In the face Of Republican warm
ings and Republican pleadings the
Democrats abolished the tariff board
created under the Taft administration,
causing it's disbanding, losing in
large part the important work it al
ready had accomplished and depriving
the Democratic majorities Of its val
liable advice when they came to frame
the Underwood tariff bill.
In the framing Of that measure they
even showed contempt for the work
which had been done already by the
tariff board, preferring to be guided
solely by the selfish desires of their
respective districts and States, rather
than by the needs Of the industries
with which they were dealing. No one.
has been more opposed to a tariff board
than Mr. Wilson and barely a year ago
he ridiculed the idea Of the creation of
such Il board, insisting that the ma
chinery of the Department of Com
merce was amply sufficient to make all
needed investigation.
1t is only now, when Mr. Wilson sees
the handwriting on the wall and appre-
ciates that nothing short of stultifica-
ton Of the principles for which he and
his party have stood can save them
from gnominious defeat next Novem-
Der. that he becomes converted to what
he believes are the most popular Re-
publican policies. military prepared
ness and scientific tariff adjustment.
He now urges mon partisan tariff
board as matter of political expedi-
cncy, but, in view Of his well-known
Niews on the tariff ard his ingenuity
in complying with the spirit ana eyad-
ing the letter of the law, no one is
likely to put much faith in his 11th-
hou: repentance or in the "non-pa RITZ
would name.

Democratic Makeshifts.

The way the Democrats are casting
about for a substitute for the Re-
publican policy Of protection. is
laughable. All sorts of hare Drained
schemes are being preached to even
up the cost of production at home and
abroad, and to meet the dumping of
European products on the American
market. A very few Democrats come
out f1atfooted for protection. The
Chicago Herald, q Democratic sheet
suggests the adoption of advertising
as protection, accepting the theory Of
one c. E. Raymond, an advertising
man. to the effect that by good, we'll
planned campaigns we can build for
our products protecting wall that
will be better than any tariff we ever
built" But can not the importers Of
foreign products, like Lord & Taylor,
Marshall Field & Company, and
countless others, advertise as we'll as
the vendors Of domestic articles?
The joke Of the whole situation is
that one year ago the Democrats de-
clared against protection Of any kind.
What Mr.. Underwood and his bunch
Of tariff wreckers stood for was com

that his bill was competitory meas
ure. They told us that more competi-
ton from abroad would lower the
cost of living. We got more compete
