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,

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."
Druggists aell Stuart's Catarrh Tablet
at 60 cents for full sized package.
They can be earrled In the pocket aad
used any time and aa often as dealred, lnc
they contain no cocaine, mercury or any
other lnturloua drug. . '
