has sent an ultimatum to Turkey, an
nouncing that unless satisfactory assur-
ances are received before noon to-day
that the Ottoman troops will be with
drawn INN ediately from the frontier,
Bulgaria will forthwith mobilize her whole
army.
The reports. however, are categorically
denied at the foreign office here, which
declares that no such ultimatum has
been sent. The officials add that the
situation Is unchanged.
In Preparations Going on.
y Regardless. of the efforts Of the powers
ato hold Bulgaria and Turkey in check
and the sultan's trade for reforms in
Macedonia, unceasing preparations for
war continue here.
All hope OF good results from the Turk
ish promises of reform has long since
disappeared and the feeling is growing
that war Is the sole solution to the Mace
DOMAIN problem, the only question being
whether it will come this autumn or be
postponed until spring.
Preparations for the mobilization of the
Bulgarian army have been carried out
with singular completeness as to detail
and a declaration of war will find the Bull
garians sufficiently prepared The equip

quantities of ammunition are on hand and

fights Of the last five years the Cum

NATURES OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures catarrh Without Danger
GUS Dragging OF the Stomach.

GUS Dragging OF the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered has 1t
been possible to truthfully say that rem
edy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times a day, and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with the
germ killing and health giving Hyomei
It is the only treatment that cures
catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes disor-
dered digestion or brings on some other
diseases and never makes permanent
cure of catarrh. Hyon1ei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose, but
penetrates to the minutest air cells in
the lungs and enters the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood.
It frees the mucous membrane from poi
sonous microbes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and in
cludes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient

Voegeli Bros, corner Hennepin and

the merit of Hyomei that they agree to
