REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
After Trying other Treatments Ny
omei Was Used With Perfect Sue
aaaG

Ctdos
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, the
only advice a physician could give to a
hay fever patient was to go away from
home but now any one who expects the
disease, can, if Hyomei is used, stay at
home without fear of the annual attack
of sneezing, watery eyes, and other dis
comfort.
j + Forbes, well known western
railroad man, whose home is at McCook,
Neb., writes, Il have never had relief
from any remedy for hay fever, even
temporarily, until discovered the mer-
its of Hyomei. | will always recommend
it whenever occasion requires :"
There is no offensive stomach dosing
when Hyomei is used Ii is reliable
remedy for the cure of all diseases of the
respiratory organs and Is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, 30 that the air taken
into the throat and lungs is like that of
the White Mountains or other health re-
sorts where hay fever is unknown.
Frank w. Buchanan, Fred ii Wing and
G. r. Fogg, who have the local agency
for Hyomei, advise all who are subject
to hay fever to begin its use two or three
weeks before the time of the annual ap
pearauce of this disease and thus prevent
the attack. If, however, Hyomei is not
used until the sneezing and other dis
agreeable symptoms have shown them
selves, it is necessary to use the treat
ment more frequently, at least half a
dozen times daily, and Hyomei Balm
should be rubbed into the nostrls both
morning and night.
The fact that Frank w. Buchanan,
Fred Fl. Wing and G. R. Fogg agree to
refund the money to any hay fever suf-
ferer who uses Hyomei without success,
should inspire confidence in its power to
effect a cure

THE THRAL1 OF LEFT THE LUCKY
A. Daily Serial Of Unusual Interest to
Be Published In The Star.

The Evening Star will begin tomorrow
the publication of q daily serial story Of
exceptional attractiveness, entitled ''The
Thrall Of Left the Lucky" It Is a thrilling
tale Of the Viking days. and carries the
reader into Norway, Greenland and to the
American shores touched by the Viking
explorers who set the first white foot
upon this continent.
A young Englishman Of noble. birth, cap
tured by the Danes. after a series Of ex-
citing adventures, becomes the thrall, or
slave of Leif popularity known as the
Lucky son Of Eric the Red Of Greenland.
The struggle between the believers in
Christianity, then just spreading its infiu-
-ence over northern Europe, and the Morse
paganism, which retained its firm hold in
Greenland under Eric, is stirringly de-
picted, many dramatic situations evolving
out Of the conflict Of influences. tender
romance develops to fascinate the reader.
The author, Ottilie A. Liljencrantz. has
woven into her novel many threads Of
strong human interest. The story Is filled
with color, action and atmosphere, and Is
Interesting in every chapter. It Is based
upon authentic historical facts regarding
the Morse discovery of America and has a
distinct value In awakening interest In
that somewhat neglected phase OF the
hemisphere's story

MAKES ADVERSE REPORT.
Money Declared to Be Forfeited Cannot

]. D. Croissant recently wrote to the
Commissioners requesting reconsideration
Of his request for the return Of $1,000 de-
posted by the Washington and University
Railroad Company, which was forfeited by
reason of failure to secure a right of way.
Mr.. Croissant asked that the money be
transferred to the account Of the East
Washington Heights TRACTION Company.
Thus, he argued. no money would be. with
drawn from the treasury. The Commits
sioners referred the request to the auditor,
Mr.. Petty, who has reported adversely upon
the matter, as follows: a..
"As the attorney for the District OF Co.
,lumbia, in his opinion rendered March II,
1901. holds that the Commissioners are
without authority to refund TIE guarantee.
which. by express operation, s0f law. has
become forfeited to the District OF Coium-
bia.' nothing remains for consideration save
the request Of the writer that The Commits
sioners ask Congress to .siothA them with
authority to refund the dep0sft or allow its
transfer 20 the credit Of the East Wash
ington Heights Traction CpHpapy.
since the formation Of the present govern
ment. June IL. 1878, many, deposits have
been forfeited In consequences OF the failure
OF the depositors to keep cAhetf agreements
applications for refund have been made
none has been granted. 1T seems wise to
adhere to this rule Of twenty four years
standing, as departure from II would es-
tablish precedent which must be followed
in every subsequent application or else open
the door to the charge Of making invidtous
distinctions Since, therefore, both law
and custom forbid compliance with the re-
quest Of the writer. I have the honor to

TAKING PRECAUTIONS
TO RID GOVERNMENT INSTITU-
TIoNS OF SMALLPOX.
Wholesale Vaccination Has Been in
Progress-No Indication Of
Additional Cases.

The health department officials have
taken all the precautionary measures in
their power to prevent the recurrence of
smallpox at the several District institu-
tons where single cases Of the disease have
lately been reported, namely, the work.
house for males, the female workhouse and
the almshouse.
DR.. Woodward, the health officer, himself
made careful investigation and inspection
Of the warehouses;. The authorities were
particularly anxious to trace the source Of
the disease in the female department, for
the woman taken from there had a most
virulent case and died several days after
having been removed to the smallpox hos
pital.
Wholesale Vaccination.
Wholesale vaccination has been in prog
ress the past few days. The health office
endeavors to keep all the prisoners at these
institutions vaccinated at ordinary times.
Often however. the first treatment will not
''take' and the fact will escape subsequent
attention. A thorough examination of the
various inmates of the institution falls to
disclose any trace Of the disease among
them 1t was thought that possibly there
had been a mild case of smallpox in the
workhouse without It's having been de-
tected, but such seems not to have been
the case, unless perchance the prisoner IN
fected has been discharged. There was no
connection between the several cases.
No Indication Of Additional Cases.
The period of incubation from the case in
the female workhouse viii be ended in q
few days. and the authorities will then be
free from anxiety in this quarter. Those
employees of the male worlshouse who were
in contact with the male prisoner recently
removed to the smallpox hospital have been
! taken to the quarantine camp.
The prisoners who were in the same cell
are Quarantined at the workhouse. as there
was no way Of guarding them at the quar-
antine camp. A close watch Is being kept
on all the prisoners. The first symptoms
of disease are carefully noted. So far there
is no indication OF additional cases.
