WAT IS cATARRHl
Simple Way 10 Overcome the Dangers OF
This Dissgreable Disease.

Catarrh is an Inflammation of the mu-
eous membrane Of the nose, throat and
lungs, with many annoying symptoms. In
this climate there are few who do no, suf-
fer from this disagreeable disease, often in
a chronic and dangerous state.
Fortunately, within the last few years, a
simple and reliable treatment for catarrhal
troubles has been found-Hyomei, a com
bination of healing and germ-killing bal
sans, that when brelthed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every out
ht, reaches the TIMES; cells in the respira-
tory organs, carrying It's healing and health
giving properties to every part where the
catarrhal poison Is present.
Used in this way, Hyomei kills all caiar-
rhal germs; drives the poison from the sys-
TEN and heals all irritation that may be
present in the mucous membrane.

toms, such as offensive breath, burning

MILLIONS IN DAMAGES.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Fearing that it may cost them mill
ions of dollars annually in damages
awarded to injured employees, leading
railroads of the United States will unite
in an effort to overthrow in the courts,
on the ground of unconstitutionality, a
law passed by the last congress entitled
IAN act relating to liability of common
carriers engaged in commerce between
the states and territories and foreign
nations, to their employees but COM
monty called the employers liability
act" although confined to railroads.
AS a result of several conferences be-
tween attorneys of eastern and west
ern railroads, an agreement has been
reached to carry to the United States
supreme court the first case brought By
ar. injured employee of some road which
involves the disputed points in the new
law. The plan of the railroad lawyers
has been made known to the govern
ment and the attorney general has an
| nounced that he intends to ask leave
to intervene in the first case brought
under the law. to support the .constitu-
tionality validity and Interpretation OF
the act.
An exhaustive opinion on the new
law, which has been ratified by a, large
number of leading railway lawyers, has

roads will rely to upset the new. law is
thus described:

congress, namely, that as to commerce
there shall be no states. Debates in
congress on this act also show conclu-
siyely that such was the object sought
to be accomplished. Yet the judicial
department has been declaring for
hundred years that the power to- regu-
late commerce wholly nvsithin state
was a power which 9the states never
surrendered to the federal government,
and, as congress wen knew, much OF 81
