CATUM
Catarrh baa become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
Very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the srateni.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

THE YOUNG MAN'S AGE
DEMAND FOR YOUTH IN EDUCA
TION AND BUSINESS.
An Unbiased View of the Henlly Ite
marknblc Movement that la Now
Taking l'lace-Prolilcins Which lte.
Kxlsteucc Urlng Into llcing.
Two very remarkable movements are
discernible In the business and the edit
cation of the times; and yet, when we
come to examine them, we lind that the
tendencies have been clearly In view
for more than a dvcadc. Six years ago
the present writer went to the presi
dent of one of the large corporations of
this country and usked him to give em
ployment to n man who had turned his
forty-eighth year. There were personal
rcufious why he should grant such a re
quest, nnd the person for whom tho
pluce was sought was entirely accept
able in character, ability and health.
The president replied: "I want to do
this, but It Is Impossible. The age of
the young man Is crowding upon mod
ern busluess so fast thnt he will soon
monopolize It. We take no ono who
has passed 45 we cannot afford to do
It. Hut I will .tell you what I will
do. If this man has a son anywhero
from 15 to 25 years old I'll find a posi
tion for him at once." So far has this
tendency already gone that tho prob
lem or getting rid of employes nbove a
certain age In now under discussion,
nnd so great has been the unenslness
thnt several of the largo concerns have
Issued statements that the old men
will not be discharged.
At the snmo time practically all of
them are tnklng on only young men,
nnd the demand has made n profound
Impression upon the highest college
nnd universities of the country. It has
been shown that If a student goes
through nil the courses to the post-graduate
specializations he U nbout 30 be
fore ho gets into active life nnd mod
ern busluess needs hlui ut least live
years before that time. It Is not a mere
sentiment hut n real conviction which
contends thnt the years lost from work
between 20 nnd 80 are In a measure
stolen from the lives of tho students.
This mny be an cxtremo view, but
many, If not most, of our leaders in In
dustry nnd In the professions believe it
In true. That there will come a ch'ango
a compromise, perhnps-seems to bo
one of tho certainties of tho near fu
ture. Along with the Increasing hold of the
young men comes the problem of car
ing for those who have passed into
what Is swecplngly called old age. It Is
not fair to Bet limits on any Individual.
So long as he Is ublo to do his work
and do It acceptably ho Is entitled to
every opportunity nnd advantage. Wo
do not refer, of course, to tho old men
of signal ability and success, for the
grave Is tho only Btop to their energies
and usefulness, and It would be easy

UTAH HA8 A MODEL TOWN.
Moriuona Claim Only Bucceasfnl Ex
periment In Local Government.
There Is one town In tho United
States whoso Inhabitants do not hun
ger for tho tlesh pots of other commu
nities laylug claim to a higher degree
of culture. The place Is named Vernal
nnd It Is situated not far from the res
ervation of Uintah Indians In Utah.
Ono of Its attractions Is that there has
never been any local tax levied on the
townspeople, for tho reason that tho
sensible system of city government
provides n perfectly adequate Income
without the necessity of taxation.
Nothing Is given away by the city gov
ernment of Vernal. If any franchises
or privileges are desired they must be
paid for and puld for at their full value.
Saloons uro looked upon aa a luxury
thnt can be dispensed with, but as tho
town Is not a total abstinence commu
nity the snloona aro allowed to exist
by tho payment of a large fee to the
treasury.
Grime Is taxed to the utmost Fines
rnther than imprisonment are the pun
ishment for evildoers. Instead of a pris
oner being supported for a term at the1
ATTutncu) of the city he la mulcted In a
sum deemed commensurate with the
enormity of the offense and the money
goes to the town's exchequer. In this
iv the burden of tho city's expenses
Is placed on the shoulders of those who
deserve to be made to bear it, and the
well-behaved citizen instead of suffer
ing by the action of the wrongdoer in
being compelled to support him in jail
actually benefits by bis wrongdoing In
the absence of taxation.
Bo proud are the citizens of Vernal
of their model town that the city offi
cials almost invariably turn back Into
the treasury the amounts received for
salary. The only man who Is really paid
by the town for his work-is the city
marshal, who devotes bis whole time
to the duties of bis office.
Aa might be expected, the town la
splendidly laid out, possessing miles of
asphalted streets, one of tho finest
school buildings In the West and ample
means for the building of more ns they
are needed. No breath of suspicion hns
over been directed nt the otllclals of tho
town. Their action In refusing to re
ceive salaries might In Itself divert any
suspicion of "hoodllng." The town
numbers about 4,000 persons, nnd ns Its
adlmrnblc sytem of government Is at
tracting numbers to take up their resi
dence there It Is probable that It will
emerge from rompnratlvo obscurity
during the next few years and become
one of the most Important cities of tho
West.
WIVES AND BEATINGS.
Women Discuss the Amount of Abuse
Their Bex Bhoulil Ktidurc.
"How much beating should a wlfo
bear before"sho made up her mind to
leave her husband?" was ono of tho
main subjects discussed to-day nt tho
women's conferenco of tho In-Hlo-Nnme
Society In All Souls' Church, at
Madison nvenuo nnd 00th street. In
tho opinion of Mrs. Louise Seymour
Houghton, editor of a religious news
paper, the wife should submit rnther
than leave her husband to be at the
mercy of bad Influences.
Mrs. Hougton said that, although
there were times In tho present stnto
of society when a divorce seemed neces
sary, a higher and moro Ideal stato
would make such n thing Impossible.
She called attention to tho stormy do
mestic life of tho prophet HoBea, In
order to show to what extent one part
ner should bear with tho Indiscretions
nnd the sins of the other.
The Bcntlments produced n sensntlou,
and there was a murmur of dissent
Ono of thoso present nBked If tho
woman Injured by nn Intoxicated hus
band should remain with him. Mrs.
Houghton said that she had known
many noble wives and mothers whoso
husbnnds had beaten them every Satur
day night. Tho speaker Bald that It
would be better for the family If tho
injured wlfo had tho grace and tho
Htrength of mind, nnd, nbovo nil, tho
love for her husband, to hold to her
famly relations.
Mrs. Elizabeth D. Grannls suggested
that such treatment of n wlfo on tho
part of a husband was degrading to tho
marriage relation. Mrs. Houghton an
Bwcrcd that one soul could not degrndo
another without that soul's consent
She said that she had known In tho
lower walks of llfo of husbands who
had beaten and Ill-treated their wives,
nnd thut after all, they had como
nround nil right: whereas, If tho wives
had left their lords nnd masters, the
men might have gone Irretrievably to
tho bad.
"What I wish to ask." Bald Mrs. Ar
thur Smith, "Is, how long should n wlfo
submit to beating before she leaves her
husband?"
"Mrs. Houghton, If I understand her
correctly," replied Mrs. Grannls, "said
there was no limit Now, thero was
John Wesley, whoso wife dragged hi in
around the house by tho hair of his
head. It seems to mo that It would have
been moro dignified had he resented It"

When Monsieur Clemencenu was In
tho French Chamber of Deputies, ho
became, for some reason, tho Idol of
tho working man; but his popularity,
according to the course bf nature,
brought Its pcunltlcs. Ho was besieg
ed by all sorts of people, who enmo
merely to ask questions, and sometimes
they wero questions of thoTuost trivial
sort ,
He was originally n doctor, and used
to glvo advice for uothlng at certain
hours of tho day. Ono morning a
working man entered his room, and
Clemencenu suld, without looking up
from his writing:
"Tako off your coat and shirt I'll
attend to you directly."
Throo minutes later ho found tho
man had stripped to tho waist.
','Thero Is nothing tho matter with
you," said tho doctor, when ho had
mado an examination,
"I know thero Isn'tl" returned tho
man.
"Then what did you como for?"
"To consult you on n political ques
tlon." "Hut wbnt did you strip for?"
"I thought you wanted nn Illustra
tion of tho emaciated body of the man
who lives by tho sweat of his brow."
Tho political question remained un
answered. Monsieur Clemencenu was
too exasperated to do moro than tell
tho man to dress nnd go home.

If wo could persuade overy man in
any kind of business to advertise, says
the editor of the Jacksonville, Fin.,
Metropolis, we would do It with the full
assurance thnt we wero doing tho busi
ness public the greatest kind of favor.
Tho difference between a non-ndver-tlslng
town nnd an advertising town Is
the difference between one that Is allvo
and stirring nnd ono that Is dead. Tho
difference between tho advertising
merchant nnd the non-advertising mer
chant Is tho difference between a man
who pulls off his coat and rolls up his
sleeves nnd gets down to hnrd work
and pushes his business, nnd tho man
who sits down nnd waits for business
to come to him. It Is the difference be
tween perseverance nnd sloth; It Is tho
difference between energy and laziness;
It Is the difference between tho nctlvo
dollar nnd the Idle dollar; It Is thcdlffer
enco between tho man of to-dny and
tho fossil who lins notions that aro
forty or fifty years old.
You look nt tho newspaper In nny
town nnd scan Its advertisements; sco
who It Is thnt advertises; what Is ad
vertised; how much, nnd you enn very
readily understand what kind of a vil

man who understands business shys
tho non-ndvcrtlsing town ns he would

Is death to enterprise aud death to pro
gress. If you aro In business nnd nrc In earn

public know something nbout yourself
by the use of printers' Ink. It not only
gives the public Information about your
business, but It helps you to do a great
work In your own behalf.

thnt your account will show the sum
of ten million, seven hundred mid thirty-seven

eighteen dollars and twenty-threo cents
to your credit. With that amount nil
you have to do Is to retire ami let tho

IN A RACK OF FIRE.
Boy Imprisoned in lilt; Chandelier of
Driiry Lane Theater.
To cling to the network of rods on
n huge chnudcllcr, ronstlng In the up
rushing heat of hundreds of gns burn
ers, with n drop of ninety fen be
neath this is an experience the mem
ory of which still makes Mr. Frank
Pnrker shudder. The circumstances
nro told In the Strand Mngnzluo.
Before tho day of electric lights
Drury Lane Theater wns Illuminated
by a great gasolier, eighteen feet
across the base. It huug ou stout
chains twelve feet long, and was fed
by pipes coming down through a man
hole In the celling. Close to this man
hole was n circular crown of burners; a
larger elrclo ran round tho bottom of
the chandelier; and In addition, "bas
kets" of lights wero grouped nt Inter
vals about the lower rim.
Tho boy who lighted this glittering
mnss of Jets and flashing prisms wns
Frank Purkcr, ti youth of 17. As no
automatic spark had then been de
vised, the method of lighting was a
primitive one. Parker used to go Into
tho garret abovo tho celling nnd reach
down through the manhole with a long
pole, nt the end of which was a spirit
torch. In doing this ho had to be very
careful not to break auy of the glass
pendants, which, If loosened, might un
der tho great heat drop off during a
performance and kill some ouo In thu
pit
Ono night, as Purkcr reached down
to light tho lower range of lights and
tho basket clusters, ho knocked tho
polo against a string of glass prisms,
which canto loose nt ouo end and
swung down, supported only by a small
copper wire. ,
Then ho remembered tho words of
tho mn linger: "If uny of the crystals
come loose, break them off ut all costs.
They nro dangerous."
So Pnrker, without hesitation, climb
ed down through the mnuholo upon the
Interlaced rods and braces of tho chan
delier, which swayed slowly above the
black pit.
As he let himself down through tho
hoop of lights which formed tho top
of the chnudcllcr, his lump caught tho
circle of open Jets, and tho llamo rau
round In a succession of sputters, one
light cntchlng from nnother, ns a row
of dominoes fulls. There ho was, Im
prisoned between Are abovo and dark
ness below.
At first he did not notice his peril, for
ho was Intent on breaking off tho dan
gerous cluster of prisms. With great
difficulty ho reached It and knocked It
Into the pit Tho pause before It strueic
told him how deep the chasm lay be
neath him. Then he looked up and
realized his position, for thero was tho
circle of blazing Jets above him barrlug
the way to the manhole.
The heat and poisonous fumes of
hundreds of lights Vushod over him up
through tho ventilator. Ho called for
help. Tho minutes slipped by. The
rods ho clung to grow hot. Then, when
ho had almost given up hope, the hend
llghtman heard his cries aud rushed
up, over tho grille, through tho dark
gurrot to tho manhole. Turning off tho
lights, he lny down, ns one does to pull
a drowning mnn from a hole, reached
through tho opening, nnd. seizing Pur
