CATARRH CURED
No cure, No Pay, is M o
Generous Offer.

To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs and not destroy
the tissues of the membrane at the same
time, has been a problem which was
never solved until the discovery of Hyo-
mel pronounced High-o-me).
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus,
the most powerful yet healing antiseptic
known. Breathe it through the inhaler
over the infamed and germ-ridden
mebrane four or five times day, and
in few days the germs will disappear.
The infamed condition will go, too,
and the snuffling, hawking and of
fensive breath, and the discharge of
mucous and crusts in the nose will
cease.
Then why should any cattarrh suf-
ferer hesitate, when the Red Cross
Drug Store has such faith in Hyomei
that he offers to return your money if
after fair trial Hyomei does not cure
eatarrh.
A complete Hyomet outfit, including
the inhaler, costs $1.0O, and extra bot
lies, if afterwards needed, cost but 90
cents. Hyomei also cures asthma,
,roup, sore throat, coughs, colds or
grip.

SUPREME COURT WON'T
TAKE MANDAMUS POWER

In a rather unusual decision handed
down on Friday the supreme court Of
Georgia specifically declines to say
whether it has the authority to mandam-
us the court of appeals for cases in the
hands of that body involving constitution
al questions.
The question came up on the applica-
ton for mandamus filed by George R..
Youmans, of Waycross, indicted or No
vember %. 1907. on the charge of having
allowed a bank to become fraudulently
insolvent. Youmans filed a demurrer to
the Indictment, claiming that it involved
the distinct constitutional question of i'm
prisonment for debt. The court of ap-
peals held that the indictment was valid
and that it was not necessary to refer the
constitutional question claimed to the su-
preme court as previous decisions of that
body had already decided the question.
The supreme courts denial of the ap-
plication for mandamus is based prima-
rily on the ground that Youmans did not
ask the court of appeals to refer the ques-
ton. Justice Atkinson dissented.
The question involved is held to be an
important one that may involve much de-
lay in legal procedure before the higher
courts. 1t gathered notable array of
legal talent on either side.

remedy. In this instance and in some
others of similar character there was
wisdom as well as precaution evidenc-
ed in protecting the young woman
against the tension OF an exacting ed
vocational life.
To force them to study would have
precipitated crisis-and they We're
fortunate that they were protected
from themselves.
There are some things which are
more important than book education
valuable as We all agree that it is.
When you encounter a mind that is
diseased or degenerate. education
makes the trouble greater and the
evil more ungOvernable. 1t has been
said that a great many persons pass
along through life as crazy as a bed
bug but If they avoid friction nobody
but their intimates would find it out
under average circumstances and con-
ditiOns.
1t is possible that this unhappy Vas
sar student was of that sort. AMI
only evidenced her lunacy when the
friction met her at Vassar. =.
1t is frightful to lose mental health,
and also TO grow up with out a high
education, but if one or the other must
go. let the book learning part be
omitted.
