KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Hyomeis Healing Air Reaches Ever,
Part Of Nose, Throat and Lungs.

Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Stom-
ach dosing does not reach the ca
tarrhal germs in the air passages and
cannot positively drive them from the
system. BY breathing air medicated
with Hyomei the germs in the nose,
throat and lungs are filled and all
traces of catarrhal poison are effectu-
ally driven out.
Some people may think that Hyomei
is simply for catarrh Of the head and
throat, but it is equity effective in ca.
tarrh Of the stomach, liver or kid
neys. The catarrhal germs are in the
mucous membrane and Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the air pas
sages, but enters the blood with the
oxygen, thus killing the germs in the
blood and freeing the whole system
from catarrh.
Hyomei is sold by the Red Cross
Pharmacy under a guarantee to re-
fund the money unless it cures. A
complete outfit costs but sIOO, extra
bottles so cents.
A guarantee like this is stronger
proof of merit than any claim that
can be made in an advertisement.
The Red Cross Pharmacy would not
give their personal guarantee in this
manner unless they had perfect conf
dence In the value OF Hyomei.

Always shrink new braid before
sewing to q skirt. In shortening a
skirt pattern, too, always fold piait
across the middle of the pattern. Never
shorten from the top or bottom of the
skirt. or the shape will be spoiled.
Never hold the skirt on your lap
while basting-remember that 1t is
most important to keep it fiat-so lay
1t OH a table and haste from top TO
bottom with small, even stitches; keep
your seams level and straight.
In making up any material with 4
nap remember that the nap should al
ways run downward; this fact should
not be forgotten when .sponging and
pressing, otherwise you will make a
shiny streak on the surface of your
material.
For an elderly woman, and also for
the woman whose back is not perfectly
flat and straight, the shoulder seam
should have more of o tendency toward
the. back of the armhole- A young.
straighter figure may have the shoulder
seams on perfectly straight lines.

STORIES OF THE MoRos.
Cruel and Fanatfca1, They ScOrT
Surrender and Eight to the Death.

CrueI and FanaticaI, They Scorn
Surrender and Fight to the Death.
The Moros are of an order much
lower than that OF any class of hui
nan beings in the United States, writes
Lloyd Buchanan of the United States
Army in Worlds Work. Unspeakably
filthy in their habits, treacherous and
cruel, they compare neither with the
Indians nor with the southern negroes.
They are ignorant and superstitious.
About year ago a force under the
strong chief, Hatai, surrendered TO Gen.
Wood a tremendous position on Bud
Kausukan without firing a shot and
gave up all their priceless rifles, be-
cause the night before navy torpedo
ooat destroyer had flashed its search
lights on the Notifications from the
sea, and the terrified defenders imag-
med that Providence had been drawn
into alliance with their enemies.
AS warriors the Moros are fanatics,
but, for all that, there is magnificence
in their disdain of death. The lonely
'juramentado," who takes an oath,
shaves his head binds his limbs and
goes out to kill and be killed, Is a
type of the animating spirit of the
race have known such one
thoughtfully to bide his time in a
walled city. whence escape was impos-
sible and when the fit hour had come,
to whip out his weapon and seek only
to strike mortal blow before the mer-
CHESS rifles brought him death.
One, by a camp, peddling fruit, cut a
soldier down with broken spearhead,
was shot TO the ground, staggered to
his feet, struck once more, was shot
down again, rose a second time and
was then stopped only by a rife bull
let through his brain. Another charged
to his death, single handed, with his
spear and knife. on company of reg
ular infantry sitting in line with their
soaded rifles across their knees.
The same wild spirit animates the
Moros In fight. At Pang Pang, where
the destruction was very heavy, after
the walls had been scaled by our
troops and the works were at the
mercy of our arms, time and again the
fire was stopped and the defenders
were implored to surrender that their
lives might be spared. But pity was
scorned with a volley and a rush of
cleaning knives. From the very val
ley of the shadow always came back
the stubborn reply, I'VE are not of a
race that surrenders." / do not think
that anything much finer or much more
impossible to deal with ever came be-
fore any army in the world.
When a Jolo Moro goes into his cot
ia be goes there to fight to a finish.
He scorns surrender. He becomes a
human tiger. He will cut you down
while you seek to dress his wounds.
He battles with the fury OF a mailman
and, If you fight with him, the only
salvation for your life is the taking of
his 1t is a grievous pity that this is
SO. But it Is.

MARKS OF ILLNESS ON NAILS.
fs1. foA.


guish Are Also Indicated.
Zone who makes close study of
finger nails will find many curious
things about them to excite his won-
der and interest" says an expert on
such matters, but none more so than
the stories of physical condition told
IN their growth.
You know that the nail of per-
son in good health grows at the rate
of about one-sixteenth of an inch each
week-slightly more than many au-
thorities belieye-but during illness or
after an accident or during times of
mental depression this growth Is not
only affected and rdarded so far as
its length Is concerned, but also as re-
CARDS its thickness. The very slight
est illness will thus leave an indelible
| mark on the nails which may be read
| lily detected as the nail grows out If
one has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism. which sends the temper
ature bounding upward to 104 or 1O5
within the space of two or three hours,
| it will be found on the nails, indicat-
| ing the difference in thickness of
growth between the time when health
was enjoyed and the thin growth OF
the iii period.
If the illness is one that comes
gradually. like typhoid fever, for ex-
ample, instead of ridge gentle in
cline will appear on the nails. Should
one have an arm broken the thick ridge
can be seen only on the fingers of the
one hand, but in all cases of general
sickness the ridge or slope appears on
the fingers of both hands. When one
has passed through period of ex-
treme excitement or mental depression.
the fact will be imprinted on the nails
either with an abrupt edge or a gentle
slope, according to the acuteness of
the mental influence.
"In no instance can the marks of
illness. accident or mental condition
be clearly seen on the nail until after
the growth has carried the line beyond
the white or half moon portion of it.

What Girls Should Learn.

Statistics show that disease and in
tOxication, crime and divorce, are due
in many cases TO miserable cooking.
The superintendent of the board of
charities in Chicago a few days ago
said there were 400 divorces In one
year in Chicago because the women
did not know how to cook and to keep
house. A large number of them adj
mitted that they did not know how.
Now, wonder, who is to blame for all
this? / think partly it is the train
ing we give our girls; they are not
fitted for anything practical in Inc.
Since the children are not likely 10
learn more than the mothers know, the
progress of domestic science will not
be realized until intelligent people
realize the Importance of 1t and sup
port the teaching in the public schools.
When the girls are learning to cook,
they should learn about the products
they work with; about the coffee ana
tea. how 1t is raised and prepared for
the market; about the raising or
wheats and the harvesting and grind
ing in the great mills, which is so in
teresting. and the making of the flour !;
the lesson of bacteria, which is simply
the knowledge of germ life; and mere
comes the lesson of the yeast-piant
which is used in the home every few
days; what they can do with that
and also about other germs that are
harmful and how to keep them out or
the home. They should learn that 1t
is harmful to leave vegetables and
fruit in the cellar and harbor germs
and. perhaps, diphtheria. Germs lodge
in this mold and increase until finally
the cellar is full, and they creep up
into the room where the baby lies in
the cradle. and bye-and-bye little cof-
fin goes out of the home, carrying the
life and light of the family, all be-
cause somebody did not know.-Illinois
