Colombia Nav Join Panama.

There is open rupture between con-
servatives and nationalists in Colom-
bia concerning presidential and vice.
presidential candidates. Gen. Reyes,
who is on his way from Bogota to
Washington is making every effort to
effect such settlement of the Panama
situation as will preserve the integrity
of Colombia. Failing to accomplish
anything at Washington, he may pre-
pare for an invasion of the fsthmus.
An Associated Press informant at Co
lon ays:-"Colombias extremity is
such and her chagrin over the loss of
the isthmus so great, that it would
not surprise me to see the republic of
Colombia eventually asking admission
into the republic of Panama, all other
efforts falling" Bonaparte Wyse, the
French engineer, to whom Colombia
granted the original concession for
Panama canal in a long letter calls on
Europe to interfere for Colombian So
vereignty against the American peril
and calls Americans 'lunatics and high
waymen."
Mr., Wyse insists that arbitration by
The Hague tribunal is the only proper
solution of the matter at issue. the
Panama commission at Colon refuse
every overture from Colombia, unless
the republic of Panama is recognized.
They declare their position to be 1r-
reyocable. The departments of Cauca
and Antioquia seeded from Colombia,
following Panama's lead in just two
weeks. President Marroquin has APP
pealed, through the Associated Press
to the citizens of the United States
claiming that this country openly vlo-
lated the treaty in the proceedings OF
its minister at Bogota and its marines
on the isthmus. He says:
1.-THE American people will not per
nit. I am sure, the violation of public
treaties. thus diminishing their glorl-
Gus traditions, in order to obtain by
force what Colombia was ready to con-
cede through pacific and equitable
ways"

men We're placed in opposite directions
upon an elongated bed. The upper half
of the volunteers ear was cut off, to-
gether with about four inches of the
skin behind the ear. This was twisted
around and fitted to a freshly prepared
wound upon my patients head. The
ear is held in place by bandages, and
the two men bound so they cannot

this position II days to allow the cir
to come through the flap of
skin that still remains a part of the
scalp If this half ear starts
to unite properly, the lower half of the
ear will be grated in the same way.

CATARRH CURED WITHOUT DRUGS
Hyome Medicates the Air You
Breathe, Kills the Germs and Cures
the Disease.


Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly and
permanently, because it reaches the
smallest air cells in the head, throat
and lungs, kills the germs causing the
disease and drives it from the system.
Hyomei goes to the root of the dis
ease, destroys the cause, and makes
permanent cures which can be effect
ed in no other way. Breathe it for a
few minutes four times a day and
benefit will be seen at once. Continue
this treatment for a few weeks and
Hyomei will have cured you.
The Hyomei breathed through the
neat pocket inhaler furnished with
each outfit mingles with the air you
breathe. 1t is local and direct treat
ment for eradicating all catarrh germs
in the mucous membrane and tissues
and in this way cures catarrh in any
part of the system. Used in connec-
ton with Hyomei Balm it has been sue
cessful in. curing the worst and most
deep seated cases of catarrhal deaf
ness.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.00 and comprises an inhaler. a bot
tie of Hyomei and a dropper. The
inhaler will last a lifetime; and adj
ditional bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for soc.
Stronger than any claims that can
be made in an advertisement, is the
fact that George E Greene win give
his personal guarantee with every Hy-
omei outfit he sells to refund the mon
ey If the purchaser can say that Hy-
omei has not given satisfaction

The vast majority of textile workers

any radical step. The cut averages 10
