I THICKHEADED WALL STREET Courts and lawyers are great sticklers for accuracy of language, generally using three or four words mean ing practically the same thing, to describe legal trans actions. Yet both courts and lawyers are great sinners in the way of assassinating the good old English language. As an example: the supreme court of Kansas recently drew a nice distinction between the meaning of the term "bootlegger" and "jointist." It solemnly de clared from the bench that a "bootlegger" is "a person who sells intoxicating liquors on the sly, not from any particular business location; but carrying his wares in j his bootleg, his pocket or in Some flitting hole in the wall." I Passing over the matter evidenty overlooked by the august body, that a "person" might be a female and that the lawyer's particularity is abandoned in using the pronoun "his," it is suggested that a bootlegger "carrv- ing his wares in some flitting hole in the wall" is doing From several sources come day after day warnings as a rather difficult and unusual stunt. It is too bad that the to what will happen after the war. Most of these court did not explain how he accomplished this feat, and prognostications, and most of them of evil, come from whether or not the offender also carried some of the wall. Wall Street.

CATARRH LEADS TO CONSUMPTION Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be relieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It causes headache and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, affects the voice, deranges the digestion, and breaks down the general health. It weakens the delicate lung tissues and leads to consumption. Hood's Sarsaparilln goes to the seat of the trouble, purifies the blood, and is so successful that it is lino wn as the best remedy for catarrh. Hood's Sarsaparilla strengthens and tones the whole system. It builds up. Ask your druggist for Hood's, and insist on having iL There is no real substitute.
