CLASH IN MEETING
DIR. SANDERS AND REPRESENTA-
 TIVE JOHN THE PRINCIPALS.
Discuasi0n Held Ca E,sfnbiishment Of State sanitaFium For Tuberculosis Patients By Joint Cemuait- tees---Institution Fav-
 sire&.

At a joint meeting last evening of the members of the Senate and House Committees on Public Health, when the proposed establishment of a State san itarlum for the treatment of tuber- culosis was taken up, a decided clash of opinions occurred between Repre- sentative John, who has introduced one bill on the subject, and Dr. W. H. Sam ders, the State Health Officer, who has another measure he wishes passed.
 The differences in the two bills were gone into, and the difference grew per sonal at one time. when Colonel John declared his willingness to have his bill amended, but not by people who were not in sympathy with it's objects and who wished to divert the money from the establishment of a sanita- rum to some other purpose.
 ing to Know why 1 MT Joh1 had de- clared anyone was not in sympathy with the purpose of Mir. Johns bill
 It was finally agreed that a sub- committee should be appointed. to be composed of three members from the House and two from the Senate, to take up the two measures, and any others that might be presented, and frame compromise measure. That the institution should be established seemed to be the consensus of the com
 Both measures provide for a com mission to have charge of the pro- posed sanltarium, of which a majority shall be physicians anc minority laymen. The Go rnor is to be Pres ident of the Commission, according 10 both bills.
 MT. Johns bill makes an approprIa- ton of $30,000 for the establishment of a sanitarium, but Dr. Sanders declared 1t contained some ''dr stic provisions with regard to the commitment tn it of persons suffering from the dread disease.
 Tho Sanders bill, on the other hand, carries larger approximation. $50. 900. and has the extra feature. besides the establishment of q sanitarium, of prO- viding for the education of the peo- pie on the subject of tuberculosis and other diseases.
 Or. Glenn Andrews was the first speaker, after Mir, John and Dr. San- ders. He demanded action.
 Eli P. Smith. of The Birmingham News. called attention to the terrible death rate from tuberculosis. which he declared caused fourteen per cent of all the deaths Tn Alabama. The people, he said, made a big furor when there were a few deaths from yellow fever, but forgot the larger number of deaths from tuberculosis
 s. W. Wslch, of Talladega. of the Board of Censors, of the State Medical Association. pleaded for harmony, a1d for results
 Before the tuberculosis asylum bill was taken up. a short discussion was had upon MT Johns bill for tho es- tahlishment of sanitarium for in- ehrIates. but nothing was done upon that subject.

CATARRH GROWING LESS

Due to Use of Hyomei-Cures Without
 stomach Dosing.
 Inquiry at the local drug stores shows that the sale of remedies for catarrh has decreased very much in the last year. Some medicines which were formerly bought 8 gross at time are now purchased in half dozen lots. and are rarely called for.
 There Is one notable exception to this decrease in sale, and that is Hyo- mel. This remedy is. In fact. Fespon- sible for the decrease in sale of ca tarrh medicines. as it has made so many cures of catarrhal troubles that naturally there Is much less demand for remedies for that disease.
 People who have been trying differ ent medicines for catarrh during many of Hyomei by Fowler's guarantee, that the, remedy would cost nothing unless cured. Much to their surprise, they found that Hyomei cid what it claimed eff 1t did not Fowlec could not sell it under this guaranteed and they soon became ardent advocates of the use Of Hyomei.
 There Is no disagreeable stomach dosing with HyomeI; 1t Is used by be- ing breathed through a neat pocket in- haler. The complete outfit costs but one dollar. extra bottles. if needed. fifty cents.
 With every Hyomei outiit Fowler gives his personal guarantee that the money will be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at all in buyAng this reliable rem edv tb-25-5
