Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS as they
cannot reach the sea. OF the disease
Catarrh Is local disease, greatly in
fuenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy. Halls Catarrh Med
icine is taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. Halls Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one OF the best physicians
in this country for years. 1t is compos-
ed Of some of the best tonics known,
combined with some Of the best blood
purifiers. The perfect combination OF
the ingredients in Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine is what produces such wonderful
results in catarrhal conditions. Send

DEFENDS LOWER BlRTH-RATE
Writer In Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm In
Its Continuance.

This is the rule of evolution-fewer
offspring, a longer period of infancy,
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks in the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, writer In
the Edinburgh Review points out.
Among fishes, species that exhibit
no sort of parental care, the average
of 40 gives 100000 eggs to female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number Is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working.
Among savage or semicivilized peoples
the blrthrate Is very high, as Is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But. as fast as civilization makes
its influence felt, the result is seen In
n lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations In Europe which were
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austrla-are the
countries of highest birthrate, and
hence of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: "Those who would seek
TO restore the birthratc of half CEN
fury ago are engaged in task which
would be criminal If 1t were not based
on ignorance and which is in any case
fatuous."

CRUELTY NOT FEMININE VICE
Unfair to Lay Individual Cases Of
Thoughtlessness at the Door of
the Entire Sex.

An official of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails complains of "cruel women who
come to the meetings of the society
wearing aigrettes of the plumage of
birds that are obtained by the slaugh-
ter of the mother bird and the starva-
ton of the brood"
On this solid foundation of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are, as q sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seen the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
it cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that 1t may be seen.
But is 1t not unfair to condemn wom-
en- as utterly cruel because of this one
fault? After all, 1t is not so much
fault as frailty. WOmen's vanity Is
an overpowerlng passion, and If they
must feed 1t upon the plumage OF
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits Of others life-crushing toll?
Cruelty Is really very infrequent
vice among women. Even bird-wearing
is far from being universal among
them. 1t is impossible not to remem-
Der that the whole structure of the
movement on behalf of humanity to all
creatures which has reached greater
proportions in this country than in any
other, is founded In the first instance
on the observation-disclosures of American
women. 1t would be interesting to
know how for the S. p. @. A. movement
would ever have progressed but for
the inspiration and enthusiasm that
have come from women.-Christian
Herald.

TRACING EVOLUTION OF BAR
In Old Rome It Had Its Origin In Re.
IatIons Existing Between
Patron and Client.

The Roman bar, writes s. P. Scott In
Case and Comment, deduced its origin
from the intimate association of pa
tron and client In the days of the re-
public. This relation, founded upon
mutual support and assistance, bore a
considerable resemblance to that of
lord and vassal during the middle ages
without, however. including the OPP
pressive restrictions imposed upon the
latter by the laws of feudallsm. Among
the many duties required of the patron
was that Of transactlng the legal bust
ness of his clients and appearing for
them In court. This service was at
first entirely gratuitous, but suisse
quently, when the ties Of hereditary
connection became less binding, and
consultation with patrons was aban-
doned by their clients for the advice
of jurists possessed of greater legal
erudition, voluntary fee, called an
honorarium, was expected. The amount
Of this was established by custom, and,
In the course Of time, when excessive
gifts Of this kind were virtually de-
manded, all fees were regulated by
statute.
After law had developed into a sci
ence the profession became recognized
as a distinct calling, and legal proce-
dure having been Systematically organ
lied, representation Of parties in court
was successfully effected by three
classes Of persons-procurators, cogni-
tors and advocates.

Equality OF Sacrifice

The New York Times recently said
edltorially;
"No man or woman who has acquired
Liberty Bond is relieved from the
duty Of buying War Savings Stamps.
To leave the Stamps plan OF lending
money TO the Government to those OF
narrow means and to the young people
is to be careless OF the cause Of Amer
lea and her allies.
"Does the average man or woman
who earns a substantial salary or good
wages have any idea OF the sacrifices
made by the small investors in War
Savings Stamps to do their bit in the
war? 1t is often a story OF silent hero
ism. If those in fairly easy circum.
stances eInuated the very poor whose
souls are filed with unyielding resou-
tion TO do their share TO win the war,
what boom there would be in the
Governments receipts from sales Of
War Savings Stamps"
Now is the time for everyone, no
matter what his station in life may be,
to make as great sacrifice for his
Government and for humanity as is
made by the most humble OF our citi-
zens Everyone on or before June %
should pledge himself to save to the ut
most OF his ability and to buy War Saw
ings Stamps with his savings. There
should be an equality of sacrifice.

IDEAL SITE FOR REST CURE
City Of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, In Bo-
Ilvla, Practically Place Of
Absolute Silence.

"The only tropical city of Bolivia, 1t
stands some 1900 feet above sea level
so far from the outside world that mail
deposited on January Z reached New
York on March II. OF the 10000 in
habitants Of Santa Cruz de la Sierra
1000 are female" Harry A. Franck
writes in the Century.
at is a city Of silence. Spreading
over a dead fiat, half sandy, jungled
plain, its right angled streets are deep
In reddish sand in which not only it's
shod feet, by no means in the major
ity, though the upper class is almost
foppish in dress, but even the solid
wooden wheels Of its clumsy OK carts
make not a sound. There is no mod
ern industry to lend It's strident voice,
though the town boasts three steam
establishments for the making of Ice,
the grinding Of maize and the saving
of lumber, and every street fades away
at either end into the whispering jun
gle. Narrow sidewalks of porous red
bricks, rooted by the wide overhanging
caves of the houses, often upheld by
pillars or poles, line most Of the
streets. But these are by no means
continuous, and being commonly high
above the street level and often taken
up entirely, especially Of an evening,
by the families, who consider this their
veranda rather than the pedestrians
right of way, the latter generally finds
1t easier to plod through the sand of
the street itself"

Maybe you just happened to got into

Idle conversation, the most deadly of
