the evening of March II.

OF The Times of March Is. From pre-
vious experiences the contest should be
bitterly contested.
On several occasions has this plan
been followed by the members of the
Boys Club. which is one of the largest
and best known organizations of its
Kind in the District. Always. according
10 the members the result has been
more than satisfactory.
The plan, they say. Is a good one for
several reasons. one being that in per-
fecting themselves for the match it Is
always necessary to read every word Of
The Times carefully, with the result
that NOT only do they familiarize them
selves with the spelling of the words,
but also with the news of the day.
Candy made by the boys will be on
sale at the contest, and it is possible
that several inpromptu recita lions and

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines. and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
In the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and thor
ough way to cure catarrh. Killing the
germs in the air passages, it enters the
blood with the oxygen, destroys the mi
crobes in the blood. and effectuaily
drives from the system all traces OF
catarrhal poison.
Thousands OF testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy.

and partly the confusion of the Russian
retreat, whereby kuropatkin's organiza-

The wrang1ing of officers added to the
confusion, each seeking to exculpate
himself.
The Japanese, who were always feeling
for weak places discovered what they
were looking for IL Fushun, and threw
an Irresistible force northwestward.
