There is more Catarrh In this sec
ton OF the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years doctors pronounced it to be
incurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally. II
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer

KING COAL AND FEATS
(Wall Street JournaD

Southern gas and power producers
are watching experiments being con-
Quoted in Sweden to determine the
value of the use of peat powder as
fuel for locomotives. A committee
which has conducted several practical
tests reports that the value of peat
powder as fuel Is one third greater
than the fuel value of coal. The cost
of peat powder is estimated at $4O2
a ton, compared with the price of coal
5000 per ton.
The committee has asked an appro-
priation from the Swedish Govern
ment of $3.50 QQQ. to- be used to erect
a peat powder factory. acquire peat
boys and convert the locomotives of
one railway line into peat powder
burners.
There is an immense quantity of
peat in the boys of the South, espe-
cially in Virginia and Florida. Some
firms have been mining the peat and
using 1t under boilers as fuel with
satisfactory results and at a costfar
below that of other fuel. 1t is also
pointed out that the raw peat. cheaply
prepared, might be used in gas pro-
ducers. The process to be used in
extracting the gas would be very sim
iliar to the process used in the ex-
traction of gas from coal. 1t is
thought feasible to place gas works
in the peat districts and pipe the gas
produced, without loss, for about IS
to 80 miles to gas engines, where the
power could be converted into cleo
tricity for erection purposes.

Strange how frequently President
Wilson's own words condemn him. On
April S, 1916, there was printed in hun.
dreds OF newspapers all over the Unit
cd States an installment of his His
tory Of the American People" con
tanning this comment upon the Fenian
invasion:
1.-The government at Washington
seemed singularly Indifferent; did lit
tie that was effective to check the
criminal business; was apparently
helpless against handful of outlaws.

OPPOSED BY WORKS AND CUM
MINIS.

The subcommittee CT the senate
which has been considering the Bran
deis case has voted to favor his con.
tirmation-three democrats voting for
him and two republicans in opposition.
Each member has given reasons i'll
writing for his action. The division
in. the subcommittee is along parti-
san lines only seemingly. AS mat
ter of fact, Senators Works and Cum
minis, who oppose Brandeis, are as lib.
eral in their type OF mind as Brandeis
claims himself to be; and their fail
ure to approve Of him is due to their
belief in his inherent unfitness for the
bench. Brandeis may be confirmed. 1t
would be strange if the power OF the
white house could not bring about this
result, inasmuch as there is a demo.
cratic majority of sixteen in the sen
ate. But the division which exists in
the subcommittee and which will be
shown to exist in the full committee
and in the senate itself is Ominous. 1t
means that a man has been proposed
for q place on our highest tribunal
who is deemed unfit by large per-
centage of the body who have the
duty of scrutihizing his record. Wor-
thy judges do not go on the bench that
way. The senate has not been in the
habit of mixing partisanship with it's
consideration OF the judiciary. In
fact, the Brandeis nomination is the
first in many yearsjf everywhere
grave personal charges have been
made against a nominee. If Bran,
deis goes to the bench finally. his robe
will carry some splashes which will
always disfigure it. 1t would be much
better if Mr.. Wilson should now with.
draw the nomination. The political
effect of it would remain-and there
are many who think the president has
