Misses Louise, Helen and Gladys Catarrh Germs Easily Killed By Breathing Into Throat, Nose and Lungs a Pure Antiseptic Air. If you have catarrh and want to get rid of it you must kill the germs which cause the disease.
The best known way of destroying Catarrh germs is to breathe into the air passages of your nose and throat and lungs the pleasant, penetrating air of Hyomei (pronounced High-0me). Hyomei is made from purest oil of Eucalyptus combined with other powerful, healing, antiseptic and germicidal ingredients. You breathe it through a little pocket inhaler which F. W. Jordan, and other leading druggists in Bedford and vicinity are furnishing with every complete treatment sold.
Every time you inhale the sweet, fragrant air of Hyomei through this little device you are drawing into your swollen, flamed, germ laden membranes a medicated air which will not only reduce all the swelling and inflammation and open your clogged nose and stopped-up air passages, but will absolutely and positively destroy every trace of Catarrh germ life it reaches. Druggists are so sure of the blessed, lasting relief that Hyomei brings to catarrh sufferers that they sell it inthat money paid refunded if variably on the positive, guarantee successful results are not secured from its 11 June 2t. 44 410 OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treatment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years.

SPIRIT OF '61 RALLIES TO THE SUFFRAGE CAUSE G. A. R. Veteran Who Fought to Free the Negroes Enlists in Battle for the Ballot That is to Emancipate the Women of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, June neatly folded dollar bill was received at the State Headquarters of the suffragists here today, with instructions that it be dropped into the suffrage Melting Pot, the proceeds of which are to be used to finance the women's campaign for the ballot.
Other offerings of greater monetary value have been received the Pennsylvania suffragists, but none have been appreciated more than this gift, which came from the pension envelope of a bent and aged veteran Civil War. There was a message with the gift which enhanced its value. It came from Private George H. Weaver, of the 201st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, one of the gallant little band that checked the Moseby raiders in their guerilla attacks on the Northern forces in Virginia during the troublous winter of '63. "I fought to free the negroes," the message read, "and I feel that it is only right that I should do something to win the same rights for our WOmen." Unfortunately, I am not as young as I was in those days.
It would be impossible for me now to even 'take the stump' for the cause that I believe in. But I have a pension envelope that comes in regularly and I am sending you a share of its May contents. I hope it will be of help." Newspapermen who called today at the home of "Private" Weaver, at 1611 Penn Street, this city, found a cheery old veteran whose spirit has refused to succumb to either age or the infirmities that are part of his wartime heritage. "Yes, I made a contribution to the 'he said. "I did it for two reasons.
First, because all life I've believed in the kind of freedom and government that Lincoln stood for--the kind that gives the same privileges to all who assist in bearing its burdens. Then again, I want the women to have the vote because of the good they do with it. I believe in -some of the youthful fire came back into the tired old eyes the veteran- "I've never known them to fight for anything that was wrong. And God knows that is the kind of people we want to help make our laws!" Mr. Weaver refused to take any credit for his donation to the suifrage cause.
In fact, he became embarrassed when told of the grateful enthusiasm with which the State suffragists had received his gift. "I'm just trying to live up to my 'he said, "and if I live until election day I'll vote for them. If every good citizen does the same the women will win." -Many People have after told us the same storyeating, gases, heartburn.

410 ate WASHINGTON LETTER Interesting Notes From Our Correspondent at National Capital. Washington, D. June efforts have been made by the German Ambassador here to inform his government of the strength and depth of American feeling on the subject sinking of the Lusitania, and of the impossibility of any withdrawal of our government from the ground already taken. To supplement and reinforce his official report to Berlin on the position of the United States in his present critical situation, he has sent Meyer Gerhard, for whom a safe conduct home was obtained by Secretary Bryan, as a special representative to Berlin. He also had a personal conference with President Wilson last Wednesday and although some officials talked hopefully about the final outcome, yet until the German answer to second note is made public, or least until its tenor is known, there promises to be no letting down the strain.
What sort of an answer Germany is going to make is something no one here knows. But there are some ominous signs on the horizon which give the outlook added gravity. Great care was taken in the preparation of the American rejoinder Germany. Twice it was in the hands legal experts of the State partment, and twice it was recalled by President Wilson. The President's desire in framing it was have document state explicitly the position of this country so that cannot possibly be misunderstood abroad or invite protracted discussion on the fundamental issues volved.
Germany has agreed to pay damages for the injury done by a subto the American steamer Gulflight, torpedoed off Scilly lands, and has asked the American government to present on behalf the owners the usual claim. She explained that her commander did not see the American flag until after the torpedo was fired. In regard to Mexico the President has shown an element of true greatness by frankly announcing that he has changed his mind, and saying that unless the Mexicans adjust their differences within a short time, may find it necessary to take some affirmative action looking to the termination of anarchy there. It probabyy that either Duval West or Conova, who made reports on Mexican conditions, will be returned Mexico in order that this government may have the benefit of observation unblinded by partisan bias in favor of any of the contending factions. The revocation of the passports of Leon Raines and Karl Recknagel, American citizens living at Dresden, for their attacks in the press upthe United States, makes it impossible for them to return to the United States before the conclusion the war.
State Department officials, however, said if the men should back to the United States, there no law under which they can be refused admission or their citizenship denied. That the investigation of charges irregularities in examinations at Naval Academy at Annapolis, will far reaching and that it probably last ten days was brought out the first day's session of the court inquiry appointed by Secretary the Navy Daniels. In the meantime, the midshipmen are on board battleships on which they were have started for their summer cruise through the Panama Canal to Francisco. The efforts of the board of inquiry will be centered upthe task of ascertaining just how by whom the text of the examination was obtained. There is a bethat neither the Board of Inquiry the Secretary of the Navy will be favor of inflicting so severe a punishment as dismissal upon the scores midshipmen who received the questions but did not know that they were the examination questions to given.
But those responsible for the giving out of the information are regarded as likely to be punished most severely. The results of the pan-American financial conference held here and visit of the delegates to different this country are not to be superficial or even merely educaPermanent committees to carry on the excellent work that has begun for the promotion of better understanding between busimen of the United States and those of South soon be appointed by Secretary America, the Treasury McAdoo. These committees will do the real work of bringing the United States and other American countries into closer rela- It has been formally announced by Department of Justice that an appeal will be taken in the "steel trust" suit, which was dismissed by Federal Court at Trenton, N. Attorney General Gregory said that the suit was begun in the last administration, he was in complete accord with the view of the law then taken. It is understood that the cabinet is favorable to an appeal.
The revival of activity and higher prices on the New York exchanges, inspired by the decision in this case, failed to stimulate the local securities market. As far as local issues are concerned. their stability has been pretty well proven during the to follow the general trend of impast few months, and they are likely provement in the course of time. The $1,500,000 damage suit brought by Daniel J. Sully, the former cotton king of New York, in local courts against John Hays Hammond, millionaire of mining fame and who was President Taft's official representative to the coronation ceremonies of King Edward VII of England, has resulted in a mistrial, after the jury had been deadlocked for 32 hours.
Sully claimed that Hammond violated a contract and agreement for the promotion of the Doremus cotton gin. The case has been pendfor several years, and the trial took nearly three weeks. The United Spanish-American War veterans see a slight in the recommendation of the War Department for the appointment of Col. W. E.
Harvey as commander of the District National Guard, over the head of Maj. C. Fred Cook, who was one of the first to volunteer in the SpanishAmerican War, and who served with great gallantry at the front in the Cuban campaign. Secretary Garrison declares that the objection raised by the Spanish War men, that Colonel Harvey is not a veteran, is unsound. Colonel Harvey, he says, is a competent officer, and he cannot be influenced by the lack of war service.
The operation of the Cummins amendment, to the interstate commerce act requiring travelers to make a formal valuation of their baggage caused some surprise at the Union Station here. Barring some slight delays the system requiring passengers to fill 1 out slips stating the value of baggage has worked well. Clerks in the Federal departments here will have half holidays on Saturdays this summer from June 15 to September 15. This was President Wilson's order last year on the subject, and it still holds good unless a change is made. The Austro-Hungarian Ambassador and Mme.
Dumba, who have leased a place in the Berkshires, near Lenox, expect to go there soon, closing the embassy on Connecticut Avenue for the summer months. The Italian Ambassador will go to Beverly Farms, where he has taken a place for the summer. The German Embassy has been officially closed, most of the staff and clerical force having gone to the summer embassy, which been established this year at Cedarhurst, Long Island. Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, is still in the city, however, will remain here indefinitely pending the outcome of the present situation. A bridal gift of great value and exquisite workmanship will in a short time be sent to Miss Genevieve Clark by the members of House of Representatives, colleagues of her father, Speaker Clark, and admirers of the young lady, whose marriage to James M.
Thompson will take place June 30. A special committee oppointed by the last and headed by Representative James R. Mann, have been invited to view this gift, a diamond necklace and silver jewel case, selected by them some time since, and just completed by the 'Shaw Brown Company, in whose window the necklace is on view.
