1t has often been said by scientific and
medical men that nature has provided a
cure for every disease, an antidote for
every poison. This saying was never so
clearly exemplifed as in the discovery of
HYOMEI, the first Dry Air Germicide
ever found Of sufficient power to kill the
germs of all respiratory diseases, yet vo-
of air breathed and leave it free from
moisture. For years physicians have
1abored to find some cure for Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption, and
statistics show how utterly they have
failed in their efforts. This has not been
for the lack of a remedy which would kill
the bacilli of disease, but due to the fact
that such remedies could be used in no
other way than through sprays, douches,
atomizers and vapors, which precluded all
possibility of their ever entering the bron-
chial tubes and lungs. What 4 contrast

NO MORE HENRYs.
One Point of Difference Between the
Preacher aud the Native.

| From the Washington Post.
Anent so much talk just at this time
about patriotism and Americanism,
which one hears at every turn, there
is occasional mention made of some
grand old colonial statesman who is
deserving to be called both a patriot
and an American. 1t was while dis
| cussing such characters, as against
cheap, sentimental patriotism, that a
man who takes a trip out of Wash
ington once in a while told the follow
ing story the other night:
He was travelling through one of
those picturesque valleys of the Old
Dominion, where nature has been most
lavish In bestowing beautiful scenery
the winding river, the fertile meadows,
the hills rising in the distance, and all
that. The train stopped at a small
station; the conductor did not even an
nounce it's name, as the halt was only
made to take on fuel and water. Some
one remarked to stranger, evidently
a clergyman, in front of him. that the
town was the birth place Of Patrick
Henry. Our friends attention, at
tracted at this, he looked out of the
window and saw a small, tumble-do
shanty, pile of cord wood, and a few
houses. But the clerical gentleman
arose and went to the platform. Gaz-
ing out upon the gorgeous beauties of
nature, he exclaimed, dramatically:
"Oh, what glorious hills, what bracing
atmosphere, what a charming climate.
what a fertile soil; ah, it is no wonder
that Patrick Henry should be born
here"
Just then a rustic old Virginia far
mer, with hayseed in his hair and milk
on his boots, who heard the remark.
turned about, and walking toward the
admiring traveller replied in character

Quartermastcr CCXe has been promised
extra rations for the additional men in
camp, and hereafter there will be no scare
ity of food, 1t is thought. The fact that
the regiment is carrying extra men,
some twenty-five who arc waiting for a
chance to enlist is responsible in II grea :
measure for the short ratlons that nave
caused so much grumblng.

Washington, May 3.-With the seiz-
ure of Manila "A grave problem arises
as to the disposition which shall be
made of the new territory thus ac-
quired by American valor 1t is as
sumed that the city at least will be
retained as the fruits of the victory,
and this would naturally carry with
IT the possession of the rest of the is
land. But the United States has not
entered upon this war with the pur-
pose of territorial aEgrandizment i'm
the far East, and there is no expecta-
ton in administration or congressional
circles that the occupation will become
permanent unless in the event of new
complications. The islands, or so much
of them as may be necessary to af-
ford the American fleet in Asiatic wat
ers base of supplies, will certainly
be held until the close of the war, but
when the time comes for making dis
positions of them there may be embar-
RAISING circumstances to be consid-
cred
1t is proposed by Republican sena-
tors that the Philippines shall be ex-
changed with Great Britain for the
Bahamas or for other British insular
is quite probable that other European
nations would object to a swap of this
kind, which would insure Great Brit
ain predominating influence in the
far East. 1t may be, therefore. that
the United States will be obliged to
maintain a protectorate over the Phil
ippines. The islands cannot be given
back to Spain, and there will be objec-

ain, Japan or any other power The
people are hardly able to govern them
selves, and there would seem to be no
way out of it except for the United
States to establish some kind of gov
eminent there and see to it's protec-
tion from aggression. This is only one
of the complications which are bound
to arise out of the war.
PURPOSE OF CONGRESS.
Congress is determined that the war
shall not end until Spain shall have
been driven out of the Western hem
isphere. This means that Porto Rico
must be abandoned as we'll as Cuba,
and assurances have been given that
the senate will not ratify any treaty of
peace which does not promise the ces-
sion of Porto Rico to the United States
as an indemnity for the war 1t is not
known that the president feels as
strongly on this subject as some 9TH
ers, but the writer knows that a mes
sage has been conveyed unofficially
from the White House to the British
foreign office stating that the war will
not be closed as long as Porto Rico or
any other piece of American territory
remains under the Spanish flag. 1t is
believed that this policy will be accept
able to the American people, and that
the administration would not be justi-
fed in waging a costly war for the
liberation of Cuba and then leaving
Porto Rico subject to Spain's control
and liable to the same insufferable
treatment which has made Spain's
course in Cuba a stencil in the nostrils
of the world.

Alger in behalf of friend who seeks

While waiting to see the secretary the
commissioner remarked that the pros

have had the effect of increasing the
immigration to this country.
Many of those who came believed
that the enlisting of great number of
men In the army would have to be
filled by others, and acknowledged they
had come here, believing more work
was to be had because of the war. The

Attention has been called recently to
the prominent position taken by some
residents of Maine in public affairs at

Of Mr.. Reed, the speaker of the house
of representatives; Mr.. Dingley, the
Republican leader in the house; Sec
retary of the Navy Long; Senator
Frye, who is chairman of the commit

who are very prominent just now in
public affairs in the United States. The
present governor of New York, Frank
5. Black, is a Maine man, a native of
the town of Limington, in York coun-
ty, one of the two counties which is
included in the congressional district
of Speaker Reed, Cumberland county,
which includes Portland of which Mr..
Reed is native, being the other.
George c. Perkins, of California, for
