Hyomei. the Only Guaranteed Cure
For Catarrh.

No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are adver-
tised to cure catarrh. It is as fare SUPER
ior to them all as the diamond Is more
valuable than cheap glass. Their COM
position is secret, but Hyomei gives It's
formula to all reputable physicians and
is prescribed by them generally
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams, making a
pure liquid which, when used in the
Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air you
breathe with germ-hlling, disease de-
stroying and healing powers that re-
store health 20 every part OF the nose
throat and lungs.
The only way to cure catarrh ana all
other diseases Of the respiratory organs
is TO breathe Hyomei.
This treatment has been so suecessful
in curing SO per cent. Of all who have
used 1t. that Hyomel Is now sold by
2. James Belt under an absolute guar
antee 10 refund the money in case II
does not benefit. You run no risk what

not be sold upon this plan.
The complete HyOmei outfit costs Sl.OC
and comprises an inhaler, a bottle OF
Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will

Of Hyomei can be obtained for 5oe.

ThTE SUPPOSE that many Of our

be more nearly translated as the Sim
cere or Earnest Life.
That book is just now a fad. and
unlike most fads. it is a good one. Per-
haps the effect Of this, like most moral
discourses, viii be to turn our eyes
towards the other fellow and there
behold its proper object. Yet If we but
knew It, Wagner has a message for
each Of us.
For simplicity and earnestness are
mental concepts. Extravaganza and
ostentation are not dictated by bodily
and mental necessity, but are appetites
that have been created by artificial
nourishment.
The poor man who denies himself
proper clothes, food and a few books in
order to have a fine horse and top
buggy. and the delicate mother who will
do her own washing in order to buy a
parlor organ for a daughter who has
no more musical taste than a cow
these need tho message OF the simple
life.
And likewise the young woman who
bangs a typewriter for a few dollars
a week, who really looks attractive at
home in a plain gown, yet who will
oheerfuiiy shiver in thin garments If
they are only in style. and who spends
in cheap jewelry what should 80 into
food, she needs the message.
It is not alone the rich who should
listen to Pastor Wagner. Here Is a
plain mechanic making Ss a day. His
wife does her own work and saves on
coal and gas. On Sunday she comes
forth with bevy Of Fauntleroys and
Gwendolines bedecked in hnery which
has cost too much to produce and which
must give to the youthful wearers false
impressions.
The world is bubbling over with sham
and pretense. eve buy libraries that we
never intend % read, wear new clothes

GAS COMPETITION.

GAS COMPE TlIlON.
THE role OF obiector is not pleasant
4 but there are certain facts about
gas competition that now that the
Street and Sewer Department has be-
fore It an application for a gas fran
chlse, ought to be considered.
In the first place, It is significant, as
we pointed out the other day, that
there is not a city. great or small, in
the United States and not one in Eng
land. whore there is a competition in
manufactured illuminating gas. Yet in
most Of these cities there has been
competition which has invariably re-
suited in the closing OF all but one
plant or I'm a merger.
Then. too. II is true that in most in
stances where a competing company
has been given a franchise every effort
has been made to tie it up with con-
ditions to prevent a merger. Yet no
precautions have prevented that result.
Detroit may be taken as an example;
the franchise Of the new company was
to be forfeited in case of merger. Yet
by running up the expense account
enormously a sheriff sale resulted,
leaving the old company without oppo-
sitlon.
The fact is that gas competition is as
undesirable as competition in our water
supply. Two water companies. with
two sets Of mains would be the same in
principle. OF course we want CHEAP
gas and pure gas and If we are not
getting 1t, we have our redress.
A new company would make its gas
in the same way as the old; would de-
liver it, measure it and charge for It in
the same way. We have a gas inspec-
tor; IL his powers are not sufficient they
may be enlarged, and 1t is easily pos
sible for us all to be assured good gas
and reasonable bills.
Now there is not one chance in a
thousand that with a new company we
should have gas competition. for COM
petition would spell ruin. and a merger
would be good business. When the
time came for that, sentiemnt would
not stand in the way-it never does
when corporate interests are involved.
We give it as our opinion that there
is not a lawyer i'm Wilmington who can
draw a contract so strong that any
other good lawyer cannot get around
when the time comes for the competing
companies TO pool their interests.
Then what are the disadvantages in
making the experiment? Wen, IL the
new company is ever to furnish gas, IL
means a digging up Of all the streets of
Wilmington, and cutting through the
sidewalk in front Of every house which
the gas is to enter It means where
the mains are parallel uncertainty as to
leaks and breaks, as only by digging
up the street will the managers be able
to tell which line is affected. 1t mean.
hundred kinds Of annoyance, and ii
the end, either ruin for one company OF
. merger.
s The price OF gas and its quality
should not be determined by competi,
= tlon' because Of the nature Of the com.
modify but by the prevailing price elsa,
where. That price ranges at about a
dollar; in few cities it is less and ir
s others more. A few years ago tn,
, price here was reduced by 25 cents or
S the thousand although Philadelphia
$ continued to charge the higher rate 70,
9 several years afterward. When otber
cities generally reduce the price OF "a.

THE Teachers Bazaar which opens
4 at the rooms of the New Century
Club this evening. and which win con-
tinue through Friday and Saturday
evenings, is an enterprise which should
interest most people OF our city.
The teachers of the public schools
have formed Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton, and the object Of the bazaar is
to help this organization along. Is
there anybody who doesn't feel like
doing something to further the enter
prise?
Salaries are small, in most instances,
only sufficient to cover present needs,
and sickness and old age are the
specters that haunt every teacher. To
prepare to meet emergencies these
teachers are contributing to fund out
Of their meager salaries. thus setting
aside something against the inevitable
"rainy day"
In this bazaar which they are hold
ing they are giving the public an op-
portunity to participate. and to add
something to the fund. Many will
avail themselves OF the opportunity
regarding It as g privilege.

NO PEAcE CONFERENCE.

THERE win be no peace conference
Il at least not until the Russian
Japanese war terminates or one Of the
parties sues for peace. Russia de-
clines to participate in the conference.
and has so notified Secretary Hay
through the Russian Ambassador at
Washington.
The Ambassador was requested by
his government to say that Russia
heartily accepted in principal the in
vitatlon 70 a second conference and
gladly associates herself with the
American Government in its effort to
complete the mission Of the first con-
ference, but does not consider the mo-
ment opportune, and therefore must
withhold formal acceptance until the
war in the Far East is at an end.
Russia in this declination assumes a
vast responsibility. Her action blocks
the settlement Of problems Of interna-
tional usage. abstract questions which
are aside from the present war; But
Iit is possible that the conference is
only postponed and that she may
herself become the suitor. The trend
Of contemporary thought is in the
peaceful settlement Of international
problems, and undoubtedly another
conference would extend the policy Of
arbitration. Russia then must as
sumo the burden Of standing in the
path Of progress and reform.
