TIE PLEASANT AND EASY WAY
TO CURE CATARRH. a

People are quitting stomach dosing
to cure catarrh. It's a good sign. 1t
shows an increase in intelligence
which is no doubt due TO increased
educational advantages.
A little thought will prove to any ca
tarrh sufferer that the only way tocure
catarrh is to kill the catarrhal germs.
And the only way to kill the germs
is to get where the germs are with a
powerful antiseptic so penetrating that
it will reach every part, every nook,
corner and crevice of the germ infest-
ed membrane and destroy the pests.
That is just what Hyomei does. But
1t does more; it not only kills the
germs but soothes and heals the raw
and infiamed membrane, and brings
it back to its normal condition.

Even greater ridicuIe greeted the
presidents espousal of reformed spell
ing. This was hitting the trail OF
progress little too hard for the aver
age American. He preferred to spell
as his fathers had spelled, even though
it were the most abominable way ever
known to any language on earth. In
this matter Roosevelt was simply
ahead of his age. We shall come to 1t.
Give us time.
One of the most noteworthy acts OF
the present administration was the
presidents successful effort to bring
about peace in the anthracite coal
strike This not only ended trouble
some labor controversy that was bring
ing distress to thousands, but estab-
lished a precedent for arbitration, Of
industrial disputes.
1t is one of the anomalies of the con-
Trajectory character of this man that,
while he has stood for the militant
attitude and has so insisted that boys
learn how to shoot and that the nation
should ever be prepared for war, his
most conspicuous deed as president, at
| least in the eyes of other nations, has
| been in the interests of peace. To the
world at large Theodore Roosevelt Is
rhiefiy known as the man who ended
The war between Russia and Japan.
Tor nineteen hundred years there has
been no more honorable title than THAI

"a tration of Theodore Roosevelt

have been in Office seven years and
six months, lacking ten days. From
the night of his wild ride down Mount
Marcy, during which he came into the
highest Office in the world, to the pres

striking, not to say spectacular. 1t is
yet too early fully to measure either
his work or his influence. That can
only be done by the future which can
know the effects of the causes he has
set up and can view him with dis

time Is to recount the things for
which he has stood and to give the re-
suits he has accomplished so far as
they are apparent. Whatever may be
his place in history, he has certainly
filed Il large angle in the public vision
Of his own day. Despite the Cpposi-
ton of powerful interests and the col
umns of abuse that have been aimed
at him, Theodore Roosevelt has had a
larger personal following in his own
country and has aroused more inter-
est in the world at large than did any
other president while in Office, with
the possible exceptions of Washington
and Lincoln.
Mr.. Roosevelts policies and activi-
ties naturally fall into two general d.
visions-those that are political and
official and those that are not political
or that fall outside of the ordinary
sphere of presidential duties. 1t goes
without saying that the first class by
