Senator Hale, after his vigorous and in
dependent stand about expenses for the
navy. during the Congress just closed, has
the qualification of finding the navy de-
partment and the administration coming
straight around to his way of thinking.
President Roosevelt has recently told the
senator that the programme, agreed upon
by Congress for the building of new war
ships, in fashioning which Mr.. Hale had
more to do than any other half dozen
senators or members of the House, meets
with his 1.-THE President's) full approval.
Further more the President has stated
that he is satisfied that the sentiment, ex-
pressed in the debates of Congress against
building an enormous navy, but for keep
ing the present navy up to its strength, as
it Will be when the ships now authorized
and building are completed, is about tbs
correct thing.
The arguments which Senator Hale
drove home with unanswerable logic,
have convinced the President. OF course
the senator had practically all the strong
influences of Congress with him in his
fight, but he deserves no less credit for
what he accomplished.
AS he has itersted and reiterated, Mr.
Hale wants splendid navy, more eff
Gent in fighting units than any other in
the world. But, because of our location
on the worlds map and for other reasons
he is fully convinced that Congress has
already authorized a sufficiently large
navy and that, with forty arnored ships
in commission, our efforts should be to
maintain that navy at the highest pos
sihle standard, rather than to enlarge it in
the number of ships.

NOT 4 PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomei, tbs Guaranteed catarrh
Ours, Pre- cribed by Ply sici ans.

Ours, Pre- cribed by Ply sicf ans.
No one should confound Hyomei
with the patent medicines that are
advertised to cure catarrh. Ii is as
far superior to them all as the dia-
mond is more valuable than cheap
glass. Their composition is secret,
but Hyomei gives its formula to all
reputable physicians.
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-killing,
misunderstanding and healing pow
ers that kill all catarrhal germs
there may be in the throat, nose and
lungs
How foolish it is to try and cure ca
tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids.
The only natural way to cure this dis
ease and all other diseases of the res
p'ratory organs is TO breathe Hyomei.
This treatment has been so successful,
curing % per cent, of all who have
used 1t, that Hyomei is now sold by
G.. \. Parcher under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. YOu run no risk
whatever in buying Hyomei. If it
did not possess unusual powers to
cure, it could not be sold upon this
plan.
The complete Hvomei outfit costs
sl.ou and comprises an inhaler, a
bottle OF Hyomei and dropper. The
inhaler will last lifetime; and addi-
tional bottles Of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.

Gowns for Graduation.

The informal talk at the last meet
ing of the school board of Ellsworth
in relation to the apparel worn by
the girls at graduation ought to meet
with the hearty approval of the
public.
In substance it advocated less ex
pensive gowns, not ,..iy because the
occasion in itself does not warrant a
lavish display of dress. but also be-
cause of the well-known fact that a
class rarely graduates some of whose
members cannot afford expensive
dresses, and yet who naturally do not
wish to appear in gowns strongly con-
trasting with their more well-to do
classmates.
Little argument is needed to sup
port the advocates OF less ostentasious
graduatio2s. To some the event is
the slime of their hves', and to have
it marred by the feeling on the part
of even one that she cannot keep the
pace in the matter of dress set by
others, is a source of regret that a
lifetime cannot remove.
This subject has frequently been
exploited in these columns; the opin-
ions of many whose opinions are
worthy of consideration have been
given. And now that the hope has
been expressed by both the superin-
tendent and the school board, that
heed will be given to their sugges-
tons, it is earnestly to be hoped
that they will be sustained by public
opinion, and that parents will CO.
operate in bringing about a much
needed reform.
Ellsworth is not alone in this desire.
Other Maine towns are striving for
the same end. And in Massachusetts,,
too, the demand for simplicity in
dress is being made. In Dedham the
superintendent of schools has taken
the matter in hand, and with the aid
of the principal of the high school
and several influential parents hopes
to bring about a reform.
In Maiden the school board has
gone TO the length Of suggesting a
limit OF cost beyond which graduates
should not go. The board went so
far as 70 issue circular which reads:
SIN taking this action the committee
has no desire to infringe upon the
undouoted right OF parents to do
what they will with their own. The
committee, however, wishes to go on
record as opposed TO undue display
at the graduating exercises of the
public schools under its charge, and to
state its desire 10 have these exercises
simple and entirely free from ostenta-
ton and rivalry. The puolic school
graduates from all walks in life should
meet together on plane of common
equality

OF preventing another Inauguration
as early in the season as March 4. In
times of war men may die gladly for
their country, but it is criminal to
claim martyrs in times of peace and
rejoicing. Congress should be COM
PEELED by the people at no matter
what cost to its Incidence to change
the date to April 80. the date upon
which Washington took the oath of
Office, and which could almost with
certainty be counted upon to produce
weather which would offer no menace
to the health and lives of the great
crowds VINO are subject to exposure

Change the Date.

The inaugural ceremonies held on
March have claimed another distin-
guished victim in Don Manuel de
Azpiroz, the Mexican ambassador to
this country. While on the east front
of the capitol during the inaugural
ton the ambassador was taken with a
severe chill, and last Saturday he died.
The doctors in attendance from the
first held ont no hope of recovery.
and his government was notified.
Senator Bate, of Tennessee. died a
few days after the Inauguration as a
result of exposure, and the prosrra-
ton of Secretary of State Hay is
attributed to the same cause. Sew
eral prominent men, among them SEN
ator Poster, of Louisiana, experienced
severe and combining attacks of the
grip after Inauguration day, and the
number of less conspicuous victims OF
the exposure will never be known.

sion should at least have the benefit

A Patent Medicine Case.
BLUEHTLI, Me, March Is, 1906
IA tke Editor Of The A.1aericdn:

Bhit<4- me- @fAohNh ~ ASeSs
To the Editor of The American:
notice in your last issue, among the
Bluehin items, your correspondent wrote
that Sheriff Webster had seized barrel OF
liquor belonging to parties in town.
would say that Mr.. Webster seized a
barrel of California port wine belonging
to this company, which is used in the COM
position of our medicine, and not to sell
for people to get drunk on. There has
been at times some talk in this locality
about this medicine. However, the talk
has been by persons who were entirely
ignorant of the facts of the case; we are
not responsible for persons putting
whiskey or other strong drink into bot
ties bearing our label.
This has caused all the trouble and gos-
sip regarding these goods, and people not
knowing the facts of the case are ready to
believe that the medicine we are putting
up is being used as beverage for people
to get drunk on. Any person who desires
to do so can get drunk on water by add
ing whiskey to it; so he can also on
Morrison's tonic by adding Jamaica GIN
ger or other alcoholic liquors. But to
drink our tonic for the purpose of getting
drunk any adult will get drowned before
getting drunk ON this medicine OF ours.
/ have purchased the right to manufse-
ture patent medicine, and must use port
wine and alcohol in its composition, and
if there is any law prohibiting me from
getting these goods which constitute our
medicine, then / am in possession Of a
bogus plant, and have no right to COM
pound medicine.
There are medicines selling in Maine
to-day that contain from fifty per cent. TO
eighty per cent. of alcohol, while the
Morrison's tonic, that such breeze has
been raised against, contains less than
five per cent. of alcohol.
Truly yours.
JOHN w. KANE,
Manager of the Morrison Medical Co.

electric light on the growth of plants are
being undertaken by the horticultural So
ciety of England. Experiments in Amer
lea have shown marked effects, but not
desirable ones in all cases. Caulihower
and radishes run largely 10 top. Melons,
eucumbers, strawberries, beans and other
vegetables were quickened in growth by
several days. Flowers are inyigorated and
produce deeper shades of color.

Mark c. Devereux, of North Castine,
has collection of relics, among which is
a barred shot. Mr.. Devereux was blowing
on his field near the shore when he came
upon the shot. 1t weighs about twenty
FIVE pounds; there are two large iron balls
connected by an iron bar, about eighteen
inches long. 1t is supposed it was fired by
the English at the house which was there
in I779. Mr.. Devereux has smaller
cannon balls found near the same place.
He also has some old copper coins.

An Interesting Irrigation Exhibit.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 29.-Because
OF the large amount of land ia the Pa.
citic northwest which has been re-
claimed by irrigation, and the larger
amount which is at present worthless
on account of the lack of water sup.
ply, the irrigation exhibit at the Lew.
is and Clarke exposition will prove
unusually interesting. The exhibit
will be complete, we'll arranged and
instructive, and will prove a marvel
to eastern people, who know little of
the wonderful results which an arti.
fetal water supply has accomplished
In many western districts.
The exhibit will consist largely of
working models of irrigation projects,
the largest being patterned after the
S3.000,O 600 plant now being built in
southern Arizona. The models will
show the of storing the water
by reservoirs, the method of carrying
it into the lowlands by means of can
ais and fumes, and its final distribu-
ton TO the land TO be irrigated.
There will also be models of dams and
reservoirs, and an exhibit of instru-
ments used in determining the amount
Of water which may be utilized from
any given stream.
