BRITONS %DETERIORATING
GOVERNMENT COMMISSION TO INVEs-
TIGATE THE CAUSE.
Physical Decadence Must BE Checked,
a Newspaper Says, OF National
Life Will BE Periled.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The government has
appointed a commission to inquire into the
alleged physical deterioration of the lower
classes in the United Kingdom. The clerk
of the Privy Council is the chairman. He
is assisted by the former head Of the army
gymnastic school, the president Of the re-
form school, the chief of the navy recruit
ing station, and others.
The appointment of the committee was
the outcome of a debate in the House Of
Lords. July 16, during which Lord Meath
and the bishop of Ripon drew attention to
the terrible conditions prevailing among
the poorer classes. The Duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council, then
admitted that Great Britain's military and
industrial outlook was seriously threatened
and promised an inquiry into the matter.
subject was also brought in the House
of Common by Sir William r. Arson,
parliamentary secretary to the Board of
Education, who declared $1,000 children now
attending London schools were physically
unfit for instruction. The director gen.
eral of the army medical service reports
that one man in every three offered as
recruits had to be rejected.
The appointment of the commission is
hailed with approval. The Daily Chron-
icle says: IF the people as a whole are
deteriorating, we must change our ways
or give UP the national struggle as a mis-
take The creation and preservation OF n
fine stock of mankind Is the first and the
only reason for national existence. and IL
the mass of the people, is going down hill
in physique, We may, be quite sure IL is
going downhill in character and in intellect

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe HyOmei Three Times Day
To Be Cured.

If few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
it remained for II. 4. Booth, that emil
nent investigator, to discover in Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most mi-
raculous cures of catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members of
the medical profession as the only adj
vertised remedy that can be relied up
on to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit OF Hyomei
costs but $1.00, and consists of an i'm
haler, a medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
err for a few minutes four times n day
and it win cure the worst case OF ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects a.com-
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance Company, j. S. Nugent, OF
New York City, writes, "Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh. from which she has been suf-
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-hnown people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. IL
it does not cure you Feldmeycr
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as to
their faith in the remedy.

The well known assyriologist, DIR.
Hugo Winckler, has published an &C
count of the legislation promulgated
by King Amraphel, of Babylon, which,
so far as is known at present, was
the first book of laws ever given to
the world. King Amraphel lived 2250
years B. c., and is mentioned in the
Bible as a contemporary of Abraham,
so that his statutes were drawn up
full FIVE centuries before the laws OF
Moses. They number 2S2, and con-
tain the following
IF a woman who sells beverages
gives bad value for the money paid
her, she shall be thrown into water.
IF a wife be spendthrift, or II she
otherwise neglect her duties, her hus-
band may put her away without COM
pensation; but if a man put away his
wife for no other reason than that
she has no children, he shall return
her whole dowry.
IF a betrothal be rescinded. the
man shall pay the woman compensa-
ton.

 Secretary Hays illness has prevent ed conference between the secretary and the Colombian minister this week, but upon MT. Hays return to the state department General Reyes expects to see him, and the chances are the gen. erals mission will be concluded very soon thereafter
 General Reyes has cabled the Bogota government setting forth very explicit ly the true situation here. He hassnot attempted in his advices to cloak the fact that there is no hope of prevail ing on the United States to retrace it's steps on the isthmus. The only pos sible result General Reyes could bring about here, as he has officially inform ed the Bogota government, would be the securing of satisfactory peace terms with the new republic.
 Five additional battalions of marines will be recruited and held in readiness in case it is necessary to enlarge the marine force now in isthmian waters. Tn the event further re-enforcements are sent the Yankee probably will be used to transport the additional ma- rines.
 General Reyes is preparing state ment of the position of Colombia in connection with the developments aris- ing out of the declaration of the inde- pendence of Panama. This will be laid before the secretary of state at an ear ly day and will serve as the basis of whatever claims Colombia hereafter may care to make. It is understood that Hon. Wayne MacVeagh has been engaged by the Colombians and will as sfst in the revision of the statement prepared by General Reyes and in the arguments which will be presented in behalf of the attitude of the Colombian government.

tonishment of everybody, he urged his charger to climb some 200 steps. At the top the prince dismounted and con ducted his recruits through the palace, where he explained the different rooms and objects of interest, recalling the era of the most famous Hohenzollern.
 At ten years old the prince was made a lieutenant and marched beside the stalwart grenadiers of the guard in many reviews before his imperial fla ther. He was sent for four years to the military cadet school st Ploen. With his two next brothers he was treated as much as possible like the other schoolboys by the emperor's own or ders. He was athletic and found .bicy- cling one of his favorite sports. He would often engage in an impromptu race with other wheelmen along the smooth roads outside the lovely old Holstein town.
 When the crown prince was seven teen he was made present of his pri- vate shooting preserves. These are in the forest of Spandau and are very rich In game This shooting is the preroga- tive of the heir to the German crown. In his first shoot with a large party the crown prince, at this time slim, handsome youth, already taller than his father, brought down with his gun a fair share of the bag.
 For many years the crown prince was anything but strong. However, since hss has taking to shooting and other sports the heir to the throne, without being of the ruddy, robust or der of being, Is rapidly turning into a very well developed man. With him also lawn tennis worked wonders.
