LIFE GUARDS.

The Life G Glards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part Of tue British
household troops. They arc gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influ-
enza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia
do in the stormy month of March.
The best way that we know of to
guard against these diseases is to
strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla- greatest of all life
guards. 1t removes the cond .tions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions,
and imparts genial warmth to the
blood. Remember the weaker the
system the greater the exposure to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the system strong.

CURES CATARRH
"HyOms the Most Wonderful Cure for catarrh
Ever Discovered" Says X N. GoOlriek

"HyOms; the Most Wonderful Cure for cstarh
e,er Discovered" SaysK. N. 6Oolrek
Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs in the stomach; II cannPt
be cured in this manner. The ony
wav In which this too common disease
can he cured is through direct APP
nIication that will kill the bacilli of
catarrh and prevent their growth.
HvoInei is the only known method
OF treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the ONLY absOluts cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands OF unsolicited testimo-
mails have been received from the
most prominent men and women In
the country who have been cured by
this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
bankers. lawyers, even eminent physi-
clans have given strong testimonials
as to the remarkable powers OF Hyo-
mel to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 800, consisting OF an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep. seated cases of catarrh, longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained
for SOC. 1t Is not alone the best (it
might be called the only method OF
curing catarrh, but it is also the most
economical.
X. N. Goolrick has so much conf
dence in the power Of Hyomei TO cure
catarrh, that he will for limited
time, sell this medicine under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money II the purchaser cap say that
il did not hxlp them.

II was said at the navy department
that in view OF the growing compiled

was inadvisable longer TO announce the

ceiyed from Rear Admiral Coghlan was

made full preparations to meet any

wade the isthmus. In all 700 men have
been ordered to San Miguel Bay. on
the extreme western side Of the Gulf
Of Panama and TO the nearest point
on the north coast OF the isthmus To
the Gulf of Darien.
The purpose of this action Is to pre-
vent the Colombian troops from en-.

drive them out by force Of arms, and
any such engagement would probably
result in a declaration OF war against

CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND SOL.
DIERS' HOME.

General Mcmahon, president OF the
board OF managers OF the Soldiers
Home, New York, has written letters
TO members of Congress warning
them OF the dire consequences which
would follow the passage OF she bill
introduced in the House by Congress
man Rixey, of Virginia, providing
for admission OF Confederate Vet
Grams in the U. S. Soldiers Homes, in
which he sets out the violent opposi-
tion on the part of the Union Vet
Grams.
1t is noticeable, too. that from Con-
federate Veterans have come pro-
tests, as an organized body and as
individuals, against the introduction
and passage OF the bill
To us the idea of the bill, coming
from a Southern Congressman, is
not pleasing, and We are doubtfulasto
the propriety OF its passage. If it
had originated at the North, we
would have regarded the animus
which inspired it as a gracious act OF
fraternal feeling tending TO eliminate
sectional luminosity, but we would
still doubt the wisdom oithe passage
OF the bill. The few survivors OF that
glorious band OF patriots who fol-
lowed Lee are not dependents or APP
plicants for iavors or charity at the
hands Of those against whom they
fought for a principle, in the right
eousness and justice of which they
still have an abiding faith. In the
course OF human events it cannot be
long until mature chants requiem
over the last ofthese old soldiers, and
until that day comes the South will
provide, whether her treasury be full
or depleted, such pensionsand homes
as she can afford as will keep the old
veterans from actual want.
So far as we have been able to
learn the needy Confederate Veteran
prefers the pittance he receives at
the hands OF his comrades and their
descendants to any bounty he may
receive from those against whom he
fought.
