WHAT is CATARRH2
Hyomei Cures this Common and Disagree
able Disease.

Hyomei Cures this Common and Disagree
able Disease.
Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, enters
the blood with the oxygen and kills the
germs present there, effectually driving
this disease from the system
If YOU have any of the following symp-
toms. catarrhal germs are at work some
where in the mucous membrane of the
nose. throat, bronchial tubes or tissues
of the lungs.
offensive breath huskiness Of voice
dryness of the nose discharge from the
pain across the eyes nose
pain In back of the stoppage OF the nose
head nj night
pain in front of the aching of the body
head droppings in throat
tendency to take cold mouth open while
burning pain in the sleeping
throat tickling back of the
hawking to clear the palate
throat formation of crusts in
pain in the chest the nose
cough dryness or the throat
stitch in side In the morning
losing of flesh loss of strength
variable appetite spasns of coughing
low spirited at times cough short and hack
raising of frothy mu- ing
cough worse nlgnt ana
expectorating yellow mornings
matter loss in vital force
difficulty in breath, Il feeling of tightness
ing across The upper part
frequent sneezing of the chest
Hyomei will cure the disease, destroy
activity of all germ life in the respira-
tory organs, enrich and purify the blood
with additional ozone. and after few
days use of this treatment the majority
of these symptoms will have disap
peared. In few weeks the cure will be
complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot
exist when Hyomei is used. This is {
strong statement, but Dr. w. II. Shel
don emphasizes it by agreeing to refund
your money if Hyomei does not cure.

Tree Tags.

The proposition that historic buildings and
the sites OF historic buildings be tagged.
that they may be known at glance and
kept fresh in memory. was received by the
public with favor. That the proposition has
not been given effect by the erection of
these markers does not reflect on the just
ness and propr!ety of the suggestion. But
there is another tagging idea which should
be carried out. Labels should be planted
at the base Of park trees to indicate their
kind. This has been done in the grounds
of the Department of Agriculture, the pop
ular and botanic designation Of the trees
being given. Several years ago the trees
and shrubbery in Lafayette Square were
tagged, but most OF the labels have disap-
peared though those that remain perform
useful service Half dozen rusty. illegi-

The Change of Date Project.

1t need not be assumed that the project for
q change of the Inauguration date fails per-
manently because the House committee on
the judiciary today refused, by a vote Of
to :. to report the Hoar constitutional
amendment favorably. The national de-
mand for the change is too marked to be
forever ignored. The sentiment of all who
have ever known the discomforts even the
terrors. of March inauguration. leans
strongly toward the shifting of the date.
There is doubtless not more than a small
handful OF congressman unfavorable to the
reimbursement. as the matter is viewed on its
own merits. Only because Of the fact that
this change Incidentally involves others,
which are quite as important and desirable,
but appear specifically to be difficult, is
there any substantial ground for the oppo-
sition.
The Star has repeatedly pointed out that
II IS possible at one stroke to shift the in
auguration to late April and to bring about
a meeting of Congress shortly after its
election. The process involves somewhat
radical action. to be sure, the dropping of
one year from the term of one Congress or
the addition of one year. 1t has shown
furthermore that IL this is done the country
will suffer in no practical way, while it will
gain immeasurably in the undermining of
the Legislative methods 1t will secure
date for it's chief ceremony guaranteeing at
least safe IL not absolutely clement
weather 1t will be benefited I'm many ways
by the clearing away of the mistakes OF
the early Congresses
1t can not be conceived that the country
will be willing TO go on forever with these
two misadjustments uncorrected. For the
House now to refuse to undertake so i'm
portsnt a task because of such compare
lively slight difficulties will only stimulate
the determination OF those who adv cate
the charge of date plan, VINO it will be
remembered, embrace in addition to the
citizens OF the District thousands of the
most prominent OF the citizens Of the
states. including practically al the gov
ernors.

The Time for Giving.

With frozen streets, minimum tempefa-

a promised minimum during tonight of 10

brightest S.or the people of Washington In
view of the shortage of hard coal and the
high prices prevailing for the fuel actually
in the market. Much suffering is certain
under the circumstances. Scores Of fam
lilies, 1t is assured, will endure hardships
which ordinarily can not be appreciated by
the more fortunate ones, but which this
year. with the coal supply SO low, is more
readily understandable Reports of per-
sons being frozen to death in their unheated
rooms come to us from other cities. May
Washington be spared such horrors. Those
citizens with coal in their cellars, or who.
living in apartments or hotels, are not con-
cerned over the coal problem, should give
thought today to the needs OF the poor,
those upon whom the burden Of such an
emergency falls the heaviest. dollar

and because it knows that there is no
waste of charity funds. When fuel is prac-e
tically out of the reach of the poor and the
necessities of life are all at top-notch

though no specially urgent call for funds
has come. 1t is better to have the life

actual pinch of cruel necessity than to be a
day or two slow in providing them.

The Senate.

The senatorial contests are increasing in
interest, and the sign is a good one. A seat
in the upper house of Congress has always
been highly attractive to men of political
ambition. We hear, 1t Is true, a good deal
about the degeneracy OF the Senate: that 1t
has fallen from It's high estate that 1t is
now but a club of millionaires: that 1t no
longer exercises an influence for the best
things; and SO on. But the pessimist does
not fix the status of the Senate. 1t is, as
it has always been, body of dignity and
great ability and usefulness. and it affords
opportunity for public service such as
the most patriotic and gifted of men may
well desire 70 seize. Some Of the aspirants
of The day are men of well established ma
tIonal regulations. and the prospect Is that
within the next few weeks some excellent
selections will be made.

Mr.. WI at Home.

The following from Victoria. B. c., ap-
peared in the press dispatches printed yes
terday:
COPIES of interviews given to a Chinese
paper by WI Ting-fang, ex-minister from
China to the United States, have been re-
ceived here.
THE minister is quoted as saying that
the exclusion laws against Chinese are
carried out in a way never intended by the
American legislature. The higher officials
do not mean that they shall be SO carried
out, but the execution of the exclusion law
is left in the hands of customs officers who
enforce the law in way which Is injurious
to both America and China. He says the
application Of the exclusion law to Hawaii
and the Philippines is ridiculous. the cir
cumstanceS there are entirely different
from those prevailing in the United States"
1t was natural for Mr.. WI to take up this
subject promptly upon his return home.
His countrymen are interested in it, and he
has late Information for them. We need
not complain of his presentation of the sit
uation here, although its accuracy is to be
questioned. rigld-the most rgid-execu
ton of the Chinese exclusion law Is de-
manded by public sentiment in America.
and the customs officials are doing nothing
to that end which is not Endorsed by their
superiors. The law was enacted in entire
good faith in the interests Of American la
Dor. and no official, high or low. dares wink
at even loose construction Of it. Indeed,
within the past few days an important ter
ritorial appointment has been bestowed
upon man who in minor post signalized
his diligence by exposing conspiracy for
smuggling Cinnamon into the United States
from Mexico.
But benefit will flow from Mr.. Wu's
assurances to his people that the exclusion
law is in the hands of officials who are
alert and even extreme in their interpreted
ton of it. The Chinese. there is reason to
believe, have been misled on this point.
Solicited strongly to try to elude the
watch. some of them have gone about it in
a way indicating that they had no very
good opinion of its vigilance and effective
ness. Mr.. WI will undeceive them about
thai. He can tell them, and probably will
as he develops the subject that the watch
grows stricter and stricter all the time,
and that the American borders now are
we'll picketed.
Mr. WI holds to his opinion that both
America and China are injured by the con-
tinuance of this barrier. That Is his privi-
lege But he probably has nothing new to
offer in support of it. He argued his case
with great. and even unusual, freedom last
winter and spring while Congress was busy
with the subject. but he was powerless to
impress his views upon those in authority.
They heard him with patience and respect,
but obeyed, as they should have done, the
demands of their constituents; and those
demands, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
were all for. keeping the gates closed
against unrestricted Chinese immigration.
The new law is working well, and its repeal
is. Of course. utterly out of the question.
1t is on the books to stay.

No Rest for the Weary,

From The Boston Herald.
Alas, what will be the use of an ocean
voyage when they get TO furnishing all the
news from land daily aboard ship? The
chief benefit hitherto attaching to q trip
abroad has beer the sweet boon Of cutting
ones cables and hearing no news for q
week. 1t has been the sort Of a relief that
busy people need In order to give them en-
tire rest and nowhere could 1t be found
more complete than at sea. And now all
this is to be changed, and the same ever
lasting news that keeps our nerves taut on
land is to follow us at sea. It's sorry fate
for health and rest seekers afioat. Per-
haps some of the ocean liners may appre-
ciate its drawbacks and announce voyages
without the wireless attachment. In which
case they will deserve the patronage of
those who seek sailed repose and rest.

thereby. The National League was on the
defensive, with the American invading its
territory and capturing its players appar-
emily by strictly legitimate means, with
out invoking the breaking of contracts,
while the National had begun to raid the
contracts and to put up excessive pre-
miums. The agreement signed Saturday by
the representatives Of the two organizations
grants practically all that the American de-
manded and gives the National practically
nothing in exchange. 1t seems a very one
sided bargain, save that it establishes the
old-time reserve rule once more in force
for the protection of both sides. The Ma
tional finds its circuit paralleled in five of
eight cities and large majority of it's best
players transferred during two years of
warfare to it's rival. A peace pact signed
in 1901 when the newly expanded American
organization was knocking for recognition
would have been a wise foresight.
Locally the new agreement is eminently
satisfactory. The Washington team re-
tains all it's star players. some of whom
were under suspicion of contract jumping,
and there are no signs Of a repetition Of
the team-wrecking methods which In the
past have frequently shattered the cap
itafs hopes for a good showing in the
pennant race. This long-suffering public
has been often disappointed, and yet stead
lastly season after season continues to sup
port the local professional club in good
measure. Even a little passing success
awakens great enthusiasm, proving that
however often the Washington fan" is
discouraged he continues to hope. He en-
joys the spectacle of the game. and as long
as 1t Is conducted clearly. with due regard
for honest principles and with persistent
local enterprise, he will continue to patron
ize 1t and to persevere in his expectation
that some day the pennant will float over
the grandstand.
