THIS IS THE RIGHT
 WAY TO CURE CATARRH

deviIish germs if they only knew what you were trying to do.
 Hyomei (pronouneed High-o.ne) is germ killing vapor or air which when nreathed either through the mouth CT nose will kill catarrh germs and sooth and heal the infamed and mutilated membrane.
 Hyomei Is such a powerful germ de- stroyer that 1t penetrates every fold and crevice of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. And 1t kilIR the catarrh germs because 1t gets where they are.
 Hyomei Is pleasant to use, 1t is made from concentrated extract of pine end eucalyptus taken from trees in Inland Australia, where cartarrh was never known.

Attracted by the smooth shady lawn of the Capitol grounds. parties of Sun day School Convention delegates made t their picnicking ground yesterday. iounging about it much of the day, when fhe sessions of the convention were not under way. Many brought luncheon boxes. and a real picnic was made of the noon day hour.
 Capitol folks. onlookers from the open windows. hungered for the crack CTS and sardines and other picnic fare, for it was bona fide picnic. that the Sunday School people made.
 The halls of the old building were thronged with the delegates during the two days of their stay, many busy offi- ciais were harassed at times. 1t is to be feared. but there is always a penalty Tor greatness. and 1t came this time through innumsrabie sight seers,

Chicago, April 2s.--The 3ewesry store of John s. Townsend. just sVuth of the Loop district, has been robbed of articles valued at Sl.0o0 by scientific burglars. who tested their plundev with acid before taking 1t away.
 Plated loclkets. charms and watch chains. valued st e1.000, ruined by the test. were found strewn about thelfioor.
 Crowbars stolen from place where worknen are engaged in repairing the street ear tracks were used in opening the iron bars of a rear window.
 Several thousand dollars worth of diamonds were locked in two safes equipped with electric burglar alarms. The fact that no effort was made to tamper with these safes convinces Mir. Townsend the burglars were familiar with the preuaises.

LEARNING OF LOCATION
 OF ALABAMA FLAGS

In pursuance of the system adopted in the search of the Confederate bat tie flags of the Alabam troops Dr. Thomas M. Owen, of the State depart ment of History and Archives. has for warded inquiries to historical author- ities in many States. and has received answers bearing promise from two of the New England States. Maine and Rhode Island.
 The answer from the Maine authorf- ties tells that several Confederate bat tie flags are held in the department of archives of that State. The informer, however. tells that he is not aware of the origin of the flag. and ts unable yet to tell whether any of them are those of Alabama commands.
 The inquiry to Rhode Island develops the fact that although there are no Confederate flags in possession of the State. there is at one of the National Guard armories, a battle dag, which may be that of an Alabama detach- uent.

Placing of chain, of gin comprssses for cotton on every navfgable stream in Alabama reaching the Gulf. placed on the river banks where railroads cross, is what ths Birmingham and Gulf Navigation Company is contem- plating" says a representative of that company, who was in town yesterday.
 The Idea of placing compresses on the rivers. where railroads cross. was first suggested by Capt. H. B. Fergu- son, of the local ofice of the United States Engineering Corps, some time ago. and ct once was made topic of discussion in railroad, navigation and
 Captain Fersuson's idea was for the railroads to haul the raw cotton to ths congresses on the river, where the bales could be more easily sent on to the Gulf. in this way allowing both conveyances. the boats and the trains. to get together and 70 eniiven the traffic.
 The representative of the company. who was here yesterday, said he could not say when the work of constructing the gin fcompresses would start. but the advent of a feasible compressed bale machine into the industry had made it possible for the boats to handle great quantities of the cotton and that in this way the boat line had become
 
 had practically decided to erect at least twenty-five of the plants at various points along the navigable streams.
 At present the boat line is said 10 be not read yto handle the business that is naturally coming to 1t, but 2 shortly. as soon as the wharf faciii- ties along the river are usabie. will service. The advent of the gin com presses Into the industrial field will follow the interest shown by communi- ties effected along the rivers.
 It is said the idea of the boat line is not to antagonize the railroads. and that one thing that Is holding back the building of the Montgomery municipal wharf, is discussion with the raii- roads about direct connection between the boats and the cars at the wharf.
 The idea of a reinforced concrete bullrhead reaching from below to the foot of Commerce Street, up. stream to the foot of Coosa. built up out of reach of high water. and connecting with boats by elevators: seems the one most favorably considered, and an attempt will be made to get the railroads in- terested fin the. plan, so they will help in its building, for such structure. it 10 thought, will cost more than the Ri0.000 provided in the bond issue
 City Engineer Giichrist. who has been lnsLructeu py the CitysNounCA " pFe~ pare plans, is holding back In his work until the several styles suggested for the wharf have been thoroughly talked over and a decision Is made. ,s ss,a. As soon as the Montgomery wharf and others down stream are built. the boat line will bring It's service up to . working basis and commence work on the construction of the big gin coni- presses along the Aiabama River. which division of the twenty-five con- tenplated win be the first built.
