Bishop Potter of the Protestant
Episcopal church in New York has
aroused veritable hornets nest by
his action in assisting at the dedica-
ton of the Subway tavern, temper
ance saloon in New York city. The
bishop and those who uphold him
contend that it is better to supply the
unuuenchable thirst for intoxicants
under conditions that favor temper
ance in their use than to attempt to
entirely eradicate an appetite that is
almost universal and evil only in its
over-indulgence. Critics of the bishop
maintain that the actual drinking,
aside from the question of excess is
evil and sinful, and that the sale is
immoral if not criminal. There is
little hope of agreement between per-
sons of such diverse points of view,
but it is worthy of note that the men
and women who have had the widest
personal experience with the liquor
problem in all its aspects, have taken
theoretically the same ground that
Bishop Potter is practically exempli-

New York Copies Vermont Law.

IIWTIITIt- IVII ANNN'NfI
A Massachusetts exchange THINKS
that Vermonters have especial reason
TO be interested in the opening OF
Bishop Potter's modest saloon IN
New York city, from the fact that one
of its rules is a copy of one OF the
unusual provisions of yermont's new
license law. This rule is designed TO
prevent treating in the saloon The
exchange then goes on The inclusion
of an anti-treating rule in the
Vermont law has proved in many
places. if not in all. a valuable pre-
ventive of one of the evils most close
ly connected with the saloons. In the
New York saloon the rule, however
can hardly be given as effective en-
forcement."

that Hyomei will cure the worst and
most deep seated case Of cstarrh that
he will furuish full months treat
ment OF Hyonei on trial.
While it would be unreasonable to
expect chronic case OF catarrh which
has been growing worse for years, could
be cured within moDtL, yet he feels
sure that the thirty days treatment
will convince the user that Hyomsi is
infsllible in driving catarrhal poison
from the system. There is no danger
Gus stomach drugging when Hyomei is
used. Simply breathe its healing bal
sans through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit and the germ
killing and health giving air will pen-
citrate to the most remote cells in the
air passages of the head, throat and
lungs and drive catarrhal poison from
the system. Nothing else will so
quickly cure a cold in the head or stop
an ordinary cough.

Hyomei Invaluable. 1t strengthens the

Catarrhal deafness is cured when Hy
