 Procession Committee. On Saturday evening there was a meeting of the procession committee, Dr. P. H. Hartman chairman, at the Buckingham Memorial, with 125 in at- tendance. Much enthusiasm was shown and the representatives of different so- cieties brought in reports of the part their organizations are to take in the celebration, either by parading or by having a float. There will be a large turnout of, Odd Fellows, the two di- visions of Hibernians will parade, the temperance organizations and the Tier ney cadets will parade, while the ltal- ian. Scandinavian and Polish societies will participate. Among those which will have floats are the N. E. O. F. w. c. T. U., St. Anne's society and the Colonial club.
 Business Agent M. J. Kelly informed the meeting that the labor organiza- tions will turn out in large numbers and it Is probable that a division will be given up to them. They are going to try and get some big labor man here for the occasion and will endeavor to, have John Mitchell as their guest.
 There Is every indication of one of the biggest parades Norwich ever saw. The enthusiasm surely gives evidence of such an indication and the work of the committee will be to that end. The committee appointed by the Board of Trade to assist in the industrial por- 1ion of the parade reported good prog ress and will 1t is believed warrant their being in a division by them selves.
 Saturday afternoon at o'clock there was a meeting of this committee on the industrial portion of the parade at the Arcanum club, Chairman Henry F. Ulmer presiding. This committee Is made up of representatives of nine large factories and they are all practi- cally pledged to have a float in the parade. All the other manufactories will be solicited with that end in view. There was some talk as to whether they would have the employees march behind the floats, but it was deemed inadvisable inasmuch as so many of them are in organizations which will participate.

INSTANT RELIEF FROM
 DREAD CAIARRH

Why don't you get rid of that nasty humiliating disease catarrh.
 You can do 1t if you reallly want to-
 But you can't cure catarrh m teW days. that's an utter impossibility, be- cause there is no remedy known that will kill the catarrh germs In that short time.
 But you can euro .catarrh If you VIII have a little patience and breathe m Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) three or four times a day.
 Hyomei cures catarrh by killing the germs and it kills the germs because It gets where the germs are.
 Hyomei is a powerful antiseptic and germ killing air; it is made from the fluid extracted from the eucalyptus trees of Australia where catarrh Is unknown.
 It gives relief instantly. stops hawk ing in a few days and is guaranteed by The Lee & Osgood Co. to cure catarrh. asthma, croup and bronchitis or money back A complete outfit. in- cluding inhaler. costs $1.00. and extra bottles of Hyon1ei costs 50 cents.

The Cycle of Fashions.

Progress follows the line of ad- vantage, substituting always the bet ter adapted; it never returns on itself, never substitutes fish oil for kerosene, horse cars for trolley cars. Fashion, on the other hand, moves in cycles. Could we run the successive fashions of woman's hat or sleeve or skirt dur ing a century through a biograph rap idly what systole and diastole we should see, an alternating dilation and contraction, like the panting of some queer animal-Prof. E.

In the afternoon in all the schools a part of the time was devoted to the study of the life and deeds of Colum- bus.
 An amusing reply was given by one of the pupils. A teacher had told the class of the wonderful voyage of Columbus and how he insisted on con tinuing the voyage after the. other men were clamoring to return. Then she asked: Who was Columbus?" with the view of hearing how well they had followed her talk.
 One little hand went up.
 Well, Johnny, who was he?" asked the teacher.
 NColumbus was the, gem of the ocean," was the answer.

The latter are in a small minority. The street Is used much, tn the afternoon particularly, for nurses and children, and I have seen several very narrow escapes at the street crossings, when the motor cars dashed by at a speed in which no ve- hicle should be permitted to travel on a public highway. The story is old, that no automobiles regards the rights of any others on the highway. It should not be true of any, but it unfortunate ly seems to be true of the great ma
