Age ia Relative.

Senator Depew, who has passed his
10th milestone, in a recent interview
delivered himself of this philosophy:
What is age? Certainly not years.
The secret of this young old or old
young is not heredity nor in spe-
cial rules of hygiene or health-that
is within the limits of temperate life,
but it is in that broad, catholic, cheer
full view of life, which welcomes
laughter and minimizes tears; which
counts a loss Cor a misfortune as a
discipline needful for the future in
the lesson which it teaches; which
has faith in human nature so deep
and trustful that it cannot be de-
stroyed by any number of frauds or
deceits; which has the element of
Micawber and of Pickwick, with the
shrewdness of Sam Weller and the
delightful optimism of Col. Newcomb
one who at 60 or 20 or so can hit
as straight from the shoulder as at
80, and doesn't do it so quick
Take a man determined to make his
way in the world. Give him health
and education or the facilities by
which he can acquire an education
by his own efforts; up to so he will
push and plunge; up to 40 he will be
recovering from the mistakes of the
previous 10 years; between 40 and ~
he will be enlarging the edifice whose
Foundation he has laid with such toll
and struggle and many disappoint-
ments and many failures.
From So if he wishes to live to be
100 with unimpaired vigor of mind
and body, heart and spirit, he will
strive more to enjoy what he has than
to add to it.

Prices in Newspaper Pro-
ductfon.

Newspapers all over the country
are advancing their subscription
price. The latest to do this are the
two daily papers of Galesburg, the
Mail and the Republican-Regi
Heretofore they have been supplying
their papers at 40 cents a month, but
beginning June 1 they will charge so
cents month.
The increase in subscription price is
necessitated by the increase in the
cost of all the elements which com
bine in the making of newspaper.
Paper. ink, machinery. news service
are all advanced in price. as is also
the price of labor. which is the great
est expense in newspaper office.
Publishers have been holding to the
old price hoping that type founders
and paper makers would find some
way to reduce their price to the old
time basis. But instead of declining
they are gradually going higher. until
as said business conditions have in
many instances not only warranted
but required the advance in the price
of the produced article.

Senator Hanna's positive declara-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt will be the
republican nominee for president
next year seems to settle the matter.
The truth is, perhaps, that Hanna
would prefer another candidate. but,
recognizing the strength of the party
momentum for Roosevelt. he intends
to yield as gracefully as possible. Re
membering how Roosevelt was ''shunt-
ed into the vice presidency in 1900 in
order to get rid of him i'll New York

idency hoodoo over his political for
tunes, it is easy to agree with Bobby

CHARM AGAINST ASTHMA.
Breathe BaIsamIc Air of Hyomel-QuIck
Relief for That Choking"

Relief for That CHOKING"
Hyomei is just as valuable in the
treatment of asthma, as il is in cat
arrhal troubles, and many letters
have been received from prominent
men and women who have been cured
of asthma by this simple treatment.
Rev. George II. Honey, of Deer Park
parsonage, Baltimore, writes: The
Hyomei came last Friday morning.
Mrs. Honey had been suffering severe
ly three weeks daily with asthma
when she began using it, and after a
few times of breathing it the asthma
ceased. and has not returned She
has had this trouble since she was Z
years old. and we have spent hum
dreds of dollars in search of relief.
When you consider all this, l think it
is most remarkable thing. that once
using Hyomei, should remove the
trouble entirely"
There is no disagreeable strangling
inhalation with Hyomei as with or
binary asthma cures. ITS aromic,
fragrant medication is breathed
through an inhaler, both as a pre-
ventiNe of asthma and cure for
acute attacks. 1t gives immediate re-
lief and prevents reoccurrence of
the disease.
Asthma appears in so many diff
ferent forms, that there are probably
some cases Hyomei will not cure; in
these t. II. Thomas will refund the
money. as the proprietors of this
treatments writes that they do not
want to take anybody's money, I'M
less perfectly satisfied with the good
done by Hyomei.

NAMES OF NEW WARSHIPS.
Kansas, Vermont, Minnesota, Miss
issippi and Idaho.

Washington, March 6. - Secretary
Moody has rendered decision as to
the states after which the five battle
ships provided for in the new naval law
shall be named. The three 16, 000-ton
battleships are to be named Kansas,
Vermont and Minnesota. and the two
l2,000-ton vessels Mississippi and
Idaho.
That no time is to be lost in the con-
struction of the new ships is evident in
the action of the secretary directing the
general board to prepare the circulars
for the Is, 000-ton ships, which are to
be of the Connecticut and Tennessee
class. AS there are no 12,000-ton ships
on the naval list, it will take longer to
prepare the plans and specifications for
the Mississippi and Idaho.
