Chicago. Sept. 25-InvestIgation OF the affairs OF

that claims Of perhaps thousands of policyhoIders

existence by merging into the Western Life In

policyholders of the original companies have gone
through a process which leaves them practically
uninsured. although they are still paying their
premiums, and have been doing so for years. This
condition is not particularly the fault of the West

Charges that the company being "milked

PEACE THE TREATY'S AIN
Baron Hayashii's Viescs-Sr Charles
.Dilke's Opinion.

London, Sept 27.-Baron Hayashi, in an in
terview after the publication OF the treaty last
night, said:
The new treaty forms an effective safeguard
against the renewal of disturbances IN the tar
East That is its object we cahhoI say that
8 permanent peace has been secured; that is
too much to be sure OF, but we can aver that
tranquility has been assured Tor long tlfae 10
come This applies not only TO Great Britain
and Japan, but also all powers having political
or commercial interests in that part of the
world in fact to all who have been interested in
maintaining the status quo repeat the treaty
IS sure guarantee Of peace. Tor that IS ITS am
enS object II should be clearly recognized by
ali that e is not meant as menace to any one
II has no aggressive intent, its only object be-
Ing 10 secure the peace Of the world so far as the
Far East is concerned. The treaty is so clearly
xvorded that no further comment is needed, and
I am convinced that it viii form, as was in
tended the most powerful factor for peace
hope that the people OF both countries will real
lie this and viii keep to the spirit of the treaty
for very long time to come.
Sir Charles Dixie took the position that the
new treaty makes no change in the pre-existing
status quo but said II was an inevitable conse-
ouence of the new conditions in the Far East,
sad that IT was certainly a stronger guarantee
of the maintenance of peace than the previous
alliance. He held that Russia never really
a menace to the Indian frontier, but merely
played on the susceptibilities of Great Britain.
With regard to Persia. Sir Charles did not be-
lieve that Russia would ever risk quarrel with
India He said:
In reality the countries most affected are
France and Germany, because to both the new
treaty secures possessions which they might
have found it impossible to defend. To France
the Arrangement is entirely satisfactory. With
Germany the case may be different, because it
deals q blow at the aspirations which Germany
is supposed to entertain with regard to the
Province OF Shan-Tung, and because GermanyS
Present privileged position in Shan-Tung NAV
become non-existent by reason of the treaty.
Germany therefore, may have some slight feel
e lott n THd
imposed. It is only in this respect that the
treaty is likely TO give rise TO any permanent
unpleasantness. In all other respects it makes
for peace
While there is some criticism Of the treaty in
the radical newspapers, it is only half-hearted,
and London, in general, which has been anxious
" awaiting the breaking of official silence with
regard TO the document, heaves sigh Of relief
and greets with great satisfaction the positive
assurance OF the future assistance of powerful
Oriental ally in all matters pertaining to Far
Eastern politics.

MRS. HALLS MIRACLE.
Experiences Similar to This Have 0cca-
stoned Considerable Comment in
ShepherdSt0wn.

Few women are better known in
Lockport, N. Y, than Mrs. Pattie D.
Hall, as she belongs to one of The
best families and has a large circle
of friends and acquaintance. In a
recent interview Mrs. Hall said
1.-The experience have been through
in the last two years seems like a
miracle. l was so badly off that life
seemed almost unendurable, and my
deafness increased so that could
scarcely hear anything. The sufoca-
ton in my chest and the indigestion
caused by my catarrh, produced very
severe suffering. 1 had FIVE different
physicians, bought everything that
anybody recommended to me, but
finally gave up in despair.
Zone day my milliner asked me
if had ever tried Hyomei. began
the treatment, and can thankfully
testify that Hyomei does cure this
terrible disease. Since using it my
hearing is greatly improved, and the
only time I have any catarrhal trOu-
bic is when take cold. l then use
Hyomei, and always get instant re-
lief. Ny friends and acquaintance
marvel at the change in my health
and hearing"
HYomei has made many cures of
catarrah, and in connection with Hyo-
mel balm, of catarrhal deafness, in
Shepherdstown. Similar experiences
to that of Mrs. Halls have created a
large sale for Hyomei with Reinhart's
Pharmacy.
The complete outfit, including the
inhaler, costs but 81, while extra
bottles are but so cents. Ask Rein
harris Pharmacy to show you the
strong guarantee under which they
sell Hyomei.
