Norwegian Ships
Hurt Canadians.

Halifax, n. S., Dec. 16.-The hostility
against Norwegian shipping because Of
the great hold which it has secured on
tine coastwise trade in the maritime
provinces. which has become general
during the recent depression when most
of the native vessels were idle while
the NorwegianS were regularly en-
gagged. has taken the form of an or
ganized movement to deprive the Nor
wegians of the privileges made posi-
BILE by treaty with Great Britain. The
first effort TO this end, a huge memorial
containing the names of owners, cap
tains and officers Of home vessels at
almost every seaport in the provinces,
as well as those of engineers, machin-
lists, ship chambers, and all others who
believe themselves adversely affected,
is almost ready for submission to the
Dominion Parliament.
The appeal, which aims especially to
have the treaty between Great Britain
and Norway, as affecting Canada, alb
rogated, also sets forth the grievances
of the petitioners substantially as fol-
lows:
First, the employment of Norwegian
soAiAoSS ~ tiiS SOdSIW ISc IIdue OIL Call
ada, has steadily increased and at
present threatens to displace entirely
the domestic shipping engaged n this
branch of the traffic.
Second, that the Norwegian steam
ers charter for such low rates as to
exclude all competition, being able to
do this by the extremely low wages of
the crews and running expenses of the
shi3s.
Third, that all the earnings Of these
boats and men are sent to Norway.
which also supplies all their provisions,
outnts and stores, and where all the
vessels are locked and repaired.
Fourth, that under these circum-
stances, Canadian vessels are idle and
captains and officers are Obliged to
seek service under the United States
flag.

A RECORD BREAKER.
Last Years Sales Of Hyomei, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh,
Larger Than Ever.

The merits of Hyomei (the treatment
that cures catarrh without stomach

pronounced is the relief and cure fol-
lowing the use of this treatment that it
has been publicly recommended by
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every state and town in the
country with the result that last years
sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures by
breathing medicated air and not takii.s.
drugs into the stomach, no doubt has
helped to create this widespread and
rapidly increasing army of trends
The way in which it has been sold
by Bowditch, Webster & Co, has
undoubtedly aided greatly it's introduce
ton in Augusta. They are such firm
believers in the power of Hyomei to
cure all catarrhal troubles, that they
urge people to use it with the under
standing that the cost will be refunded
to anyone who is not benefited by the
treatment. You do not risk a cent in
testing the healing virtues of Hyomei,
for Bowditch, Webster & Co. take all
the risk of its giving satisfaction and
leave you to be the Judge.
If you have catarrlh, give Hyomei a
trial and you. too, will become its
friend and recommend it to others.
The complete outfit costs only s1.OO;
nothing if it does not cure.
