SAYS AMERICANS ARC IADLY DECEIVED Declares It Is Kaaarltf . af Maaey Leaders thai Caaaes the Suf fering; of th Poor Classes. OAKLAND, Cal., Feb. 8. Dr. Maud Al len, formerly of Portland, Ore., a medical missionary from India, who arrived today on the ateamer Doric after an absence of seven yeara, aaya that It la foolish for th American people to aend ships full of wheat for the succor ot the famine sufferers, be cause there never la any real dearth of cereal In that empire. It la the rapacity of tbe money lendera that starves the suf fering natives, at the same time that India 1 actually exporting wheat to. other coun tries. There 1b a class of men there called benyaa," said. Dr. Allen,., "who are the owners of tbe money and. have no compunc; tlon about charging the highest" price 'for the Us of their money. Hundreda may be starving around them, but they are un moved. They get a 'corner' on th product of the farmers just as I don In America. If there la a failure of crops In one prov ince, the price of wheat goe to a price that makes It prohibitive to the people ot th stricken district., Wages a Starvla gtaaaara. The wages an to small that It Is Impos sible for the natives to save anything and they are always at th mercy of the banya. Th banyaa control th farmer of th rrosperoue district,' too, to auch aa extent that they can fix the price at which th product of the fields must ba sold. The farmer is alwaya In debt to these men. 'It Is the want ot money and not the want of wheat that brings ao much Buffer ing., There have been two famines during ray stay ln India, but they have beea con fined to certain districts. Tha rest of India could supply these districts with wheat, tor the warehouses are full, If the people bad the money to buy it. Wo have often wondered why tha Amer ican people did not know this condition existed. We have been amused at it our- aelves. Of course th wheat is distributed. but where does a shipload of wheat go with hundred thouaand Starving people T" "Why does not the government Interfere when It sees thousands starving and dying of hunger?" Dr. Allen was asked. "Because the government I afraid of an other Indian mutiny. To Interfere with the banyaa would mean an uprising that would cost thousands of English Uvea, for they are the all-powerful class. The govern ment cannot force them to give away their wheat It tried awhile ago to clean out a village that was Infected with the plague, but a riot occurred Immediately." DEATH RECORD.

' Humphreys' Homeopathlo Medicine Co.. Corner William and John Street, New York. go LPS An Ideal Medicine A Nw Discovery Which Cur All Forms of Catarrh. The tablet is the Ideal form la which to administer medicine, but until recently id sncceesful catarrh tablet had . ever been attempted. There la now, however, an ex cellent and palatable remedy for catarrh In tablet form, known aa Stuart' Catarrh Tableta and sold by druggists, composed ot the most recent discoveries ln medicine foe cure of catarrh and results from their use have been elghly gratifying. The old time treatment of catarrh waa In tha form of Inhalers, washes, douches, spraya. etc. Later on Internal remedies were used with greater success, but being In liquid or powder form were Inconveni ent to use and like all medicines ln liquid or powder form, lose their medicinal prop erties whfen opened or exposed to th air. Stuart' Catarrh Tableta contain highly concentrated antiseptics. Red Gum, Blood Root, etc. which kilt the catarrh germs tn th blood and mucoua membrane, and tn thla respict are strictly scientific and mod ern, because all authorities are now agreed that catarrh la a constitutional blood dis ease, and local application can have only a transitory effect. The uee of Inhalera, douches and sprays ia a nuisance and Inconvenience and can lln no wlac compare favorably with tbe eame antlaeptlca given In tablet form Internally, where they can reach the stomach and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produoed A prominent lawyer and public speaker of Pittsburg, says: "1 have been troubled -with catarrh of the head and throat for twelve years. In this climate It aaema im possible to get rid of It The continual dropping of mucus from th pose Into the throat caused Irritation and hoarseness, seriously Interfering with my public speak ing. It took me an hour or more of cough ling, gagging, expectorating and aneexing every morning before I could settle down to work and thla condition gradually brought on. catarrh of stomach causing loss of appetite, poor digestion and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly. My physician advlced mo to try Stuart'a Ca tarrh Tableta and I took them for two months and was astonished to find how quickly they cleared my head, throat and ; atomach and T have no hesitation In rec ommending them. They are not only pleasant to take, but they seem to get at tha very root ot the trouble, because slnco using them I have had no trace ot catarrh."
