DANGER OF CATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With Hyomei,
Becomes SeriOus.

Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought.
If you have catarrh, there is an ir-
ritated state OF the mucous membrane
and weakened tissues which afford an
ideal Judgment and culture medium for
disease germs, especially those of con-
sumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the dis
eased tissue and work destruction in
the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest. surest
and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by
the direct method. breathing Hyomei.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach. but is breathed in. directly
following and destroying all disease
germs that may have been inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by Summers pharmacy is the
best evidence of their confidence in the
treatment and should dispeI all doubt
as 70 its curative properties. They
agree to refund the purchase price 10
any one whom Hyomei fails TO benefit
and YOU do not risk a cent in testing
its healing virtues. A complete outfit
costs but s1.00 If it helps you. not a

IMITATION TERRORS
Parents Indignant About
Nerve Racking Ordeals
in "Frats.''

New York, Dec. 31.-The nerve rack
ing, even though fancied, terrors of
an initiation into a Greek letter So
ciety of girl students in private and
preparatory schools in this city caused
a meeting of twenty angry mothers at
the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Moore yes
terday. Their first purpose is to break
up the local organization of the Sigma
Gamma society, and their second is to
start a campaign throughout the coun-
try against secret societies among
school girls.
1t was the story of Julia, not yet II,
as told by her to her mother, that
caused Mrs. Mills to take the first
steps. Julia Mills was initiated" Sat
urday night.
Miss Mills, according to her story,
was summoned to appear at the Moore
home last Saturday. When she was
ushered in she was led into a dimly
lighted room between two columns of
black robed. black masked figures. up
to the high priestess.
This will be test of your forth
tude. of your fitness to be a sister.
You are ordered to thrust your hand
into small caldron of molten lead,
which you see before you. Ready!
Obey orders
Miss Mills dashed her hand into the
liquid and sank to her knees in fright.
After she recovered her composure in
part she was surprised to note that
the caldron was filled with mercury.
Suddenly the lights went out. Miss
Mills felt the floor give way beneath
her and she felt herself so down, down,
and then land on the pillows.
The candidate was ordered to grasp
the hand. for which she could only
feel. Suddenly, she involuntarily drew
back her arm when she felt the clammy
fingers. She had grasped a wet
chamois skin glove filed with sand.
Again she was led forth. this time
to drink nauseating liquid out of a
skull. which liquid would serve to
make her one blood with her other
prospective sisters"
Revolving at each gulp. she was COM
PEELED to drain the skull.

TRIES POWER ON SELF
Bishop Fallows to Begin
Psychic Healing Next
Thursday.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Having cured him
self of the grip, Bishop Samuel Fail
lows will make his debut as a healer
Thursday afternoon, when, in the yes
try rooms of his church, he will treat
a number of patients who already have
applied for his services.
Bishop Fanows then will prove the
curative value of Christian pshychol-
Ogy," his theories upon which subject
surprised his congregation Sunday
evening. The bishop expects to adj
dress himself to the subconsciOus minds
of his patients and drive away all their
mental ills and many of the physical
ailments with which the average citi-
zen is troubled.
All day yesterday Bishop Fallows
was engaged in answering questions
about the new curative power which he
held. There were telephone calls and
there were personal calls, and, after
many conferences, Bishop Fallows de-
cided that the vestry rooms of St.
PauTs Reformed Episcopal church.
Adams street and Winchester avenue,
should be the scene of his debut as a
healer.
All applicants who asked that they
be made the subject of a practical test
OF the bishops theories were told to
be present in the vestry rooms from
to 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Tells How He Cured Himself
The bishop then told how he had
cured himself of the grip the night
before. Grip is one of the diseases
which, ordinarily, do not come under
the general classification which Bishop
Fallows expects to deal with. but his
theory proved of value to him even
there.
I felt the ailment coming on, so
just got a bag of hot water and placed
1t on my back. saying to myself that
I would drive it out" said the bishop
This morning it was gone, as l had
expected"
can you cure such a disease as
grip by means of suggestion in all
cases?" asked one caller. I have got
it now. and would like to have it
cured"
/ L wouldn't agree to cure 1t without
the assistance of a physician" replied
Bishop Fallows. L want to make il
plain that I expect to work hand In
hand with physicians. BY giving yot
good suggestions, however, I would dc
much toward curing the disease anc
probably would Danish 1t entirely.
Just how are you going about put
ting your theories to practical use?
the bishop was asked.
Il shall begin at the Thursday af
ternoon meeting at the church" HI
replied. After that I shall have some
regular hours for seeing persons WHIT
wish to be treated. That is detail
which shall be worked out later. &C

DR.. Hilprecht later issued a state
ment in which he said
Il attended all of the morning ses-
sions OF the Society Of Biblical Liter

afternoon session a few minutes after

1T was during this short period when

ferring to me was passed. 1t would
seem that the most ordinary spirit OF
fairness should have led the author of

him was that instead Of digging up the
clay tablets as said, he bought them
and that most of them had never been

WAS HARDEN'S ADVISOR
Princess Mentioned as In
formant of the Fighter
Against Camarilla.

Berlin. Dec. 30.-The name of Prin-
cess Charlotte Won Sake Meiningen. the
eldest sister of Emperor William, was
brought into the Harden Won Moltke
libel case today. She appeared as the
person who had supplied Maxmilien
Harden with the information concerning
the Zu Gutenberg group" near the
person of the emperor. upon which
Harden based his campaign against
the so-called camarilla.
Princess Charlotte and the emperor
have been on cool terms for several
years. The late Prince Bernhard. hus-
band of the Princess, was long opposed
TO the influence of Prince Philip Zu
Eulenburg at court. 1t is apparent the
princess did not forget this feud and
that she had been instrumental in ruin
ing Zu Eulenburgs reputation and his
consequent loss of favor with the en-
peror
The testimony today brought out the
fact that Harden had two meetings
with the princess. seemingly at her re-
quest. Prof. Schweninger. who was
present at these interviews. gave a
brief account of them in a deposition.
Friend of Bismarck.
The deposition of Prof. Schweninger,
who was physician and personal friend
of the late Prince Won Bismarck. stated
he had no in-feeling against Won
Moltke, in spite Of the GOODNESS existing
between the count and Mrs. Schwening-
err Harden, the professor set forth
had met the hereditary princess OF
Sake Meiningen at Schwereck. on one
Of these occasions the princess talked
about Gen. Count Wilhelm Won Hohenau
and expressed her sorrow that such
degeneracy should occur in high cir
cles."
The professor said he had himself
related to Harden Bismarcks opinion
of Zu Eulenburg, whose tendencies the
prince consi dered. untitled him to act
as confidential adviser to the emperor
He could not say when Bismarck had
acquired this knowledge. The chan
cellor declared also that a certain i'm
perial adjutant. whose name was not
mentioned. had more influence upon
the decisions of the emperor than had
the chancellor himself. Bismarck de-
clared in this connection. according to
| Pros Schweninger that If the members
