State Editorial.

State Editorial.
The State points to the letter OF
Mai. ]. F. J. Caldwell, which it prints
this morning as a model.
First. it is a model in its content.
1t pointedly sets forth timely, prac-
tical and useful suggestion. Every
person writing to an American soldier
or sailor should take this letter to
heart.
Second. the letter is model in form
It is not too long. 1t wastes no words.
It saws what the writer means and
stops. In expression it is correct and
scholarly.
The State is not saying this by way
of throwing a bouquet to Maj. Cald-
we'll. whose literary attainments do
not require praise at its hands. The
State is merely using the letter as a
text from which to preach a short SER
mon to many other correspondents
Were half a dozen such letters, SO
terse and pithy and full of common
sense, received by The State each day
it's readableness would be smartly en-
hanced.

writer's of letters OF lamentation to
soldiers in camps of instruction. Such
letters, as she says, telling OF the Va
cant chair at home and OF the desc
laticn. weeping and sleeplessness CT
the women writer's have the effect Of
grieving and dispirit:ng the men who
need all of their energies for the du-
ties before them. OF course, it is
some relief to the people to pour oIt
their miseries to others, and / pre-
sumo that the most of such writer's
mean no harm, but only yield to
natural weak propensity. But grief IS
proverbially selfish and as little as
the female letter writer's may be aware
of it, they. by their wail!ng, obtain
little temporary relief at the expense
of those to whom they write and at
the expense of their country and its
NEST righteous and vital cause. The
article also quotes an officer of
training camp as to the depressing
effect of such letters" as Doro-
thy Dix calls them, on the young men
in camp. They only do harm. 1t
was a common remark in Lees army,
in the winter of 1S64-65, that hardly
any soldiers deserted except those

may get what solace they can by tell
ing their troubles to third persons;

to follow Monta:gne's teaching that

The Right Of Weather Prophecy.

State Editorial.
As the politicians are in the habi1
of saying on the hustings, 1--WE are
prophet" but it is our bounden duty
to defend a prophet from aspersion.
neither a prophet nor the son OF a
Therefore, with alacrity The State
leaps to the rescue and defense OF
the Dutch Weather Prophet whose
exile from the columns of The State
is ruthlessly demanded by corre-
spondent this morning.
The State holds that the right OF
prophecy in all men born free and
equal is inalienable and inseparable
from their enjoyment of life, liberty
and happiness. All men may, in this
generation, be divided into two class
es. propehts and prophets, and it
is The States unshakable opinion, ii
we may paraphrase popular maxim,
that one prophet is about as sood as
another, if not little better.
Where is the man, Cor woman),
without a prophetic soul who foTbears
TO venture an opinion in conversation
as to whether or not it will rain, or
whether or not a tire Will last Tor
another thousand miles without a
blowout?
The principal objection to the Dutcn
prophet that could be raised is that
he has succeeded in accommodating
little more halo than the common
run of prophets and, therefore, IS
a little of it's radiance be reflected
through the newspapers columns ana
it profit by it, why complain? IN TINS
material age it is the business OF eT-
cry prophet to stand on his own legs
and soon or late. if it appears that
the Dutch Weather Prophet have not
a leg to stand on, he will fall down
and then there will be none so poor
to do him reverence.
lCome TO think of it, mankind may
be divided into three classes lnstea1
of two and the third is composed Oh
the official, weather observers OF the
United States. They make no pre-
tense to prophecy They forecast.
The differences that they draw may
be made by any man who is lntelI-
gent and Industrious enough to study
the facts recorded by the thermometer
and the barometer and transmitted oy
the telegraph. they are a doWntroo-
den bunch of people. So indeed are
nearly all people confined by the
rnles of their craft to dealing with
bonedry facts in dry time. For
sooth, though the rains pour and the
tempests beat it is the hard fate o.
the weather mans facts to remain
vaterprfoof. dry and arid. Hence
only a few people read them, the
vast majority of the thirsty turning
to the prophets for refreshment,
We do not mind saying that the
Dutch Weather Prophet is sound,
solid and sincere~man and therefore
The State places as much faith in him
as it does in the whole school Of 2Oth
century prophets together. We are
confident that he never misled any one
Intentionally and our correspondent
should bear in mind that it is an es-
sentiaI part of every mans education
that he be misled from t'ne &c time

Catarrhal Deafness
May Be Overcome
A simple, safe and reliable way
that calls for no ugly trum-
pets, phones or other
instruments.

To be deaf is very annoying and
embarrassing. People who are deaf
are generally mighty sensitive on this
subject. And yet many deaf folks
carry around instruments that cali at
tention to their iufirmity. Therefore
people who are hard of hearing, who
suffer, from head noises. or who are
actually deaf from catarrhal trouble,
Will be glad to know of a simple
recipe that can be easily made up at
home for a few cents cost that is
really quite efficient in relieving the
disagreeable deafness and head
noises caused by Catarrh.
From any drug store get one ounce
of Parmint double strength) about
Toe worth. Take this home and put
1T into a simple syrup made of a
pint of hot water and four ounces of
ordinary granulated sugar. Take a
tablespoonful four times a day,
This treatment should by tonic ac-
tion reduce the Inflammation in the
middle ear that a catarrhal condition
would be likely to cause and with the
Inflammation gone the distressing
head noises, headaches, cloudy think
ing and that dull feeling in the ears
should gradually disappear Anyone
who suffers from catarrh. catarrhal
deafness or head noises should give
Parmint a trial. 1t is pleasant TO take
ana Is quite ineXpensive.-Adve
ment.
