Senator Fairbanks holds on like grim death, there by issuing the manifesto that his chances are mighty slim to ever be the left bower to President Roosevelt. Organization should be the para- ’ mount issue with every democrat right now. With that Indiana can be safely carried by the unterrified, and with that. Adams county can again glorify herself by furnishing I the largest democratic majority in her history.

Kills Gerrus of Catarrh Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Disease and Makes Astonishing CureS. Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. I ndersuch treatment tne germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase ami | multiply Hvomei is the only scientific and | t thorough way to cure catarrh: killing the germs in the air passages and entors the blood with theoxygen.de--1 stroys the microbes in the blood and • effectually drives from the system all • traces of catarrhal poison. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to tne astouiseing cutes ’ made by this remedy. J. S. Nugent. I treasurer of the American Union Life ■ Insurance Co., of New York City, writes: “Hyomei has completely cured i my daughter of catarrh from which ’ she has been suffering for years.” Probably the strongest evidence ’ that can be offered as to the powers . of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact ■ that the Holthouse Drug Company will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but 81 and consists of an inhaler that can Ire carried in the vest pocket, a medicine droper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and ■ if one bottle does not cure, and ex I tra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained 1 for 50 cents. Now is a good time to cure your catarrh. Railroad Notes.

ANCIENT BABYLON. The Wny the'ExeUe Que.tlon Wn. HniKlled by t«» Solon". A translation of King Hntnourabfi code, written about 2.250 years before Christ, gives us an insight into the life of the great city of Babylon at that remote time and of the way in which the exNse question was handled by its legislators. Nearly all the deniers of wines and liquors at that time were women, its many of the laws translated from the code’speak only of women ns sellers of drinks. Severe measures were taken against those who adulterated the wines or mixed them with water, so as 1 to safeguard the purity of the article for the use of the publie. 'Die barmaid was held responsible for all disorderly scenes or drunkenness in her premises, and death was the penalty for those who did not denounce all cases of drunkenness to the police. Those worni en who were employed in the temples were forbidden to enter public hostelries under [lenalty of death, and even drinking in private was forbidden to them. Special police officers were detailed for the enforcement of the excise laws in the city of Babylon, but then as well as now the officers charged with this duty were, if we ate to believe the code in question, either negligent in the performance of their duties or too willing to accept bribes from the barmaids in the shape of drinks or even money. Severe punishment is dealt out in the document to the police officers who shall accept bribes in connection with the enforcement of the excise laws of Babyion. but it fs probable that then as well as now many of the fair saloon keepers found away to bribe the officers and evade the laws.
