WASHINGTON. Sept. There ~

South Dakota. and partisan politics Is
not responsible for this interest. Chair
man Hitchcock and Chairman Mack,
probably. are not concerning them
selves beyond the matter OF south
Dakota's electoral vote, but most 9th
Or people want to know what South
Dakota is going to do with her divorce
laws. y
For quite n number Of years, ne most
folks know, South Dakota has had the
mere or less desirable reputation OF
being the "easy divorce" state. Peo-
ple wearied Of their martial bonds

residence In the state. and the rest was
easy. sioux Falls became famous the
world over for its colony Of would!bs
Divorces.
Finally, the better sentiment in the
state revolted against this condition
of affairs and the recent session OF
the legislature passed law extending
the time necessary for the requirement
Of citizenship from six months to one
year. The law does not become ef
feetive, however. until 1t has been aP

cATARRH NOW DURABLE
But Never by Medicine Swallowed
Snuffs, Sprays or Douches.

Catarrh is not a blood disease and
that is why it cannot be cured by any
medicine taken into the stomach Ca
tarrh is germ trouble contracted from
the germ laden air you breathe inward.
These germs fasten themselves in the
tissue and air cells of the breathing
organs, multiply by millions, cause
sneezng, coughing, raising of mucous,
discharge from the nose. difficulty in
breathing hoarseness. dryness and
Stoppage of the nose. tickling in the
throat and other symptoms that can
only be reached by the dry air prin-
cipal of Hyomei.
1t medicates the air You breathe with
the curative properties of the AuStral-
ian Eucalyptus Forests where catarrh
is unknown.
The reason you get relief i'm min
ute or two from Hyomei is because it
destroys every catarrhal germ in the
air you breathe, and its dry penetrat-
ing aroma will reach the innermost re-
cesses of the air passages, killing mil
lions of germs a minute. Their de-
struction means freedom for oppressed
respiratory organs. Mcbride & Will

Washington. March Diplomatic
authoriti les are watching with the ut

sudden crisis in relations of China and

ON the one hand there is a feeling

hand OF Nippon in the orient, ana IN
adding to her determination to brook
no rivalry on the Pacific. Out OF this
condition. war with the United States
might be precipitated, tho 1t would
necessarily be postponed.
While the present crisis has come

The truth about Manchuria, and
about the relations of Japan and Chi

matte reason against it.
These things did not materialize in
the peace at Portsmouth. The part
which the United States played in
bringing about that peace was so
prominent that a measure of luminosity
developed against this country. The
war spirit had not worn itself out. Pos
sibility of a conflict with the United
States was for a time famed by preju-
dice and disappointment and rancor
over the Pacific coast race troubles.
