only the light wrecking derrick to work
with.
The big Salt Lake, wrecker which
caused the wreck was being taken into
Los Angeles from the Arlington wreck
which 1t had just got cleaned UP.
The train was in charge of Conductor

concluded its consideration of the re-
port of the board of consulting en-
glneers with respect to the type of

the consulting board. At today's meet
ing the committee adoped a report to
the secretary of war; which they will

ton of a lock canal with an eighty
three-foot level. practically following
the Recommendations of the minority

today the report which Is to go to Sec

Is expected LndI u HleFtlng OF the COM

return, when the report will be finally
put In shape for transmission to Sec

There is reason to believe that the
members of the commission are in full
accord in their recommendations to the
secretary of war, with one possible ex-
ceptlon. One member of the commits
sion Is said to have expressed desire
to have read the commissions report,
but it is not known whether he may

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN
ttyomsi Inhaler That Is Guaranteed
by Short 6 Haynes to Cure
Catarrh.

Thousands who have been cured by
Hyomei, call the inhaler that comes with
every outfit "The little pocket physic-
IAN" as it is so small that it can be
carried in the pocket or purse.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, sta
tistics showed that at least 81 out of ev-
cry 100 persons in this state were suffer
ing from catarrh i'll some form. The re-
markable results following the use OF
Hyomei are shown by the smaller per
centage today of people suffering from
catarrh.
There is really no excuse whatever for
anyone having catsrrh now that Hyomei
is so readily obtsinable. If you have
any doubts al out its value, Short &
Haynes will let you have complete
outfit with the understanding that uu-
less it cures cata1rh, it will not cost you
a cent.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists of
''the little pocket physician" medi-
cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei,
and costs only 81, while additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be procured for 90
cents, making it the most economical,
as we'll as the most reliable treatment
for the cure of catarrh,
Do not delay longer the use of Hy-
omei, if you have catarrh. This is a
purely local disease, and Hyomei goes
right to the spot where the catarrhal
germs are present, destroys them,
soothes and heals all inflammation, and
makes a permanent and lasting cure.
