The report of Director lorth of the Census Bureau in regard to the finan ces of cities of 8,000 inhabitants and over says: "The importance of municipal stat istics may be noted from the to! low ing facts: Tho indebtedness, less sinking fund assets; of the 148 cities containing over 30,000 inhabitants in 1&03 was $1,10C,S21,G51 and of the 151 ities in 1904 tra3 $1,2228,210.933. The indebtedness of the cities of the lat ter group increased during the year 1904 by $110,083,797. The indebted ness of cities containing 8,000 to 30, 00 inhabitants in 1903 was $173,718. 313. and the last statistics compiled recorded an annual increase of $10, 098,962. The aggregate for the two classes of cities in 1903 was S1.2S0, 39,961. The foregoing, combined nritb other facts relating to' the in crease of municipal debt, makes it certain that the present debt of cities at the United States containing over 8,000 inhabitants is ia excess of $1, 00,000,000, or greater than that of the combined debt of the national and State governments and of the coun ties, school districts and other minor civil divisions. "The payments and receipts of those Cities having a population of 8.000 and over were greater than those of the United States Govern ment in 1902, but somewhat less than those of that government in its last fiscal year. They also exceed the payments and receipts of all Stato and local governments. "In 1900, 33 per cent, of the peo ple of the United States resided in Cities having a population of 8,000 and over, and in a few deca'des over one-half of the people will reside in those cities. The problem of self government is therefore becoming one of city government, and no class of statistics Is of such vital importance as that relating to cities, and especial ly to cities containing over 30,000 inhabitants."

Heart and Xerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great Western State puts the case regarding stimu lants with a comprehensive brevity that Is admirable. He says: "I am 5 6 year3 old and have had considerable experience with stimu lants. They are all alike a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous interest- As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stim ulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the nse of Postum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have "been apparent- from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer tram has left me, I sleep sounder, my nervas are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Po3tum some thing that is lacking in coffee." Name gives by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Labor and Facilities Are in Demand For Trade Expansion. New York City. It is not difficult for even moderate optimists to see improvement in the market outlook. There is nothing new in the country's prosperity conditions they simply stand pat. Men in everyi branch of business, everywhere, are making money. Ordinary limits are far sur passed. Actually the chief difficulty to-day is to obtain facilities whereby to meet the requirements of trade ex pansion. This is true upon the great railway systems only more conspicu ously than elsewhere relatively the proportion exists in virtual universal ity. In all important departments we outrun supply. Capital Is short of la bor, using all available, having need for vastly more than can be com manded, and labor is short of time offers of employment, appeals for help, running stupendously beyond what all the men in all the hours can anywhere near supply. This is the cause, the gist, the meaning, of what is so much called "the embarrassment of prosperity." To folks unligbted by the superior wisdom of profes sional Wall Street this sort of thing might hardly be hooted at as calamit ous for security vajues, but so it has been for a full year past. Wherefore, the hearty reception extended here at the New Year's opening to a few signs that some sentimental change appears. am No Dullness in West. It is especially noticeable in dis patches from the West that there was less than the customary lull in busi ness during the holiday season, while bargain sales are rapidly disposing of the moderate supplies remaining on hand. SAVING OF $10,000,000. MS! rr. m 1 1 B m 1 mm ML Th I AXATIVE or Known Quali There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain anc inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural funcons unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of tte remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has thercf yre met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer ofrers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and tho good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on tho front of every package.

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless Suf lered 10 Years Completely Cured by Three Boxes of Cuticura. "When 1 was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a brass pin, and shortly afterwards both of those limbs be came so sore that 1 could scarcely walk. When 1 had been suffering for about a mouth the sores began to heal, but small, scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time onward 1 was troubled by such severe itching that, until 1 biiea.nie accustomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow, i'his would atop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again aud the itching would accompany them. After i suffered about ten years 1 made a renewed effort to effect, a cure. The erup tions by tnis time bad appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small uoses and a salve. 1 then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. Jn addition 1 used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc 'salve, ; 's Salve, Ointment, and in fact 1 was continually giving some rem cdy a fair trial, nver using less than one or two boses or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally my heir began to fall out r.nd I was -apidly becoming bald, i used 's but it did no good. A ie.y- months after, having used almost everything else, i thought 1 would try Chfticura Ointment, naving previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes 1 was completely cured, and my tyair was restored, after fourteen y3ars of suffering and u expen diture of at least $50 to ?60 in vaini en deavoring to iind a cure. 1 shall be glad io write to any one who may be interested in iny cure.
