So tho Distressed.
Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in
cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, end
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modern science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive core. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the 6tomach.
As a rule, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of the physi
cal and mental forces.
Paxacaxnph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the »Vin. When applied it opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
n«A muscle*, removes the congestion and
draw* out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate raw* of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can ha procured
at drug stores In ag cent, and go cent, and
gi.oo bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company

TAX THE “DRUMMER” PAYS
A Considerable Item In Commercial
Traveler’s Expense Acconnt in
Host European Countries.
Three or four drummer*, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warm
discussion over the bane of the
drummer’s existence on the road,
the “drummer’s tax”—not so bad
as it used to be, however, when
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“By Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it over on the other side.
What they do here isn’t to be
spoken of in comparison. Here
it is merely a small local matter.
Over there it is national. At least
it is for any of us who come from
foreign countries. In Denmark,
for instance, there is an annual
tax of $42.88 if a man represents
| one house and half that for each
' other house represented. In Nor
way you have to have a trade pass
good for 30 days, costing $20.80.
| Prance is easier and you don’t
have anything but a business
! passport, which costs no more
than you want to pay. In Hol
land you have to have an indus
trial tax receipt, which costs six
dollars. In Swederr the price is
the same as in Norway, $26.80,
and if you try to get out of it you
will catch a fine of from the price
of the trade pass up to $184, and
they are strict about it, too.
“In Austria you have only to
show a proper trade license and
in Switzerland a business pass
port. They don’t cost any more
than you want to give up to the
chaps who let you have them, ,/n
Russia the price is $25.75 as trade
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal
tax. And if you are a Jew you
don’t want to go to Russia to sell
goods. You may be all right, but
Russia doesn't like that kind and
shows it by pushing the ‘drummer
tax’ on Jews up to $275.50, be
sides the communal tax of $5.15.
England’s the place, though,
where you want to go. That’s the
great free trade land and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and
sell to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are so
| free over there that, by Jove, you
! almost /eel like asking the coun
try to pay you a few hundred a
I year just because you are there.”

English Royal Commission Reports
TKftt Tlo W o*or rvf Trrrili Tnfnn
tlcm Has Been Exaggerated.
I The English royal commission
on sewage disposal lias issued a
report that should tend to allay
the frequent “oyster scates”
caused by the assertion that shell*
fish are polluted and made unfit
to eat by typhoid germ®. They are
of the opinion that there is not at
present exact knowledge warrant
ing such sweeping measures as
the compulsory purification of
sewage before discharge, for there
is nothing, they state, in the ap
pearance of shellfish to distin
guish those which hare been ex
posed lo sewage contamination
from those which have not been so
exjxised.
The denial of the validity of
bacteriological examination as a
test is very important, for this
test has rested on the assumption
that the bacillus coli communis, or
other allied organism, does not
normally oeenr In tlie oyster. Over
1,000 oysters taken from the pur
est waters and from beds obviously
liable to pollution were examined
and the bacillus coli was found in
nearly all of them, from whatever
laying they were taken, though as
a rule a very much smaller num
ber of bacilli was found in those
from pure than in those from
polluted waters. The commis
sioners say:
“If it Rhonld Be seriously con
tended that the mere presence of
bncillns coll, or coli like microbes,
in an oyster should condemn it,
few oysters would probably es
cape condemnation,0
Concerning the possibilities of
the communication of disease By
shellfish, they state that there is a
prima facia probability that at
times ftving typhoid liacilli might
he-conveyed hy shellfish to the con
sumer and produce enteric fever,
experience confirms their views
that the extent to which the ill
ness is actually conveyed cannot
Be determined, the present state
of knowledge on the subject not
ranking ft possible to make an an*
carats namevktW statement.

the best materials and workman
ship, and one wfaieh is mad* in the
