No stomach dosing. Hyomei is made
chiefly OF oil Of eucalyptus and eucalytol
taken from the eucalyptus forests Of in
land Australia, and combined with the
excellent antiseptics employed in the Lis
terrain system
In inland Australia the atmosphere is
so imprcgnated with loalsam thrown out
by the eucalyptus trees that germs cannot
live, and in consequence catarrh and con-
sumption are unknown.
Breathe Hyonei and get the same
pleasant germ-killins air as you would

Hyomei is sold by druggists everywhere
and by the Tragic Drug Co. at Sl,oo a

You can make your own flreless cook

the food ten or fifteen minutes in one

pack them all around with more crump-

possible. Finally place a discarded
cushion or pillow over the kettle COW

all around. The food will then con-
tinue to cook and should keep steam

That the poor may cool their skins
and cleanse their bodies on summer
days. more and more Of our cities are
establishing free public baths. Over
forty cities have fallen Into line in this
crusade, although 1t was only few
years ago that tho Federal Bureau of

lished model public bathing beaches.

struction in swimming. and many OF
our cities maintain public pools, where
men and women, boys and girls, may
refresh themselves with the greatest
OF God-given balns against summer
tortures-pure,' cool water. No city
without It's public bath can now call 1t
self progressive. or. indeed. humane.
Nor can a city without Its public
play grounds now hold up its head with
a good conscience. To afford summer
relief to their thousands of youthful

Army's New Heatproof Underwear.
The matter OF cooler summer cloth
Ing is another with which government
as we'll as science is beginning to
deal. After making a thorough study
of the subject the army has adopted a
new kind of underwear to relieve the
burning skins OF soldiers serving in
hot climates. like that of the Philip
pines. Experiments showed that GER
tain co1ors next to the body protect
1t more than others from the violet
rays OF the sun. which cause the mos,
serious results in summer. 1t was found
that the film Of our skins was. like the
film of the photographers plate, sem
sitive to these rays and Just as the
photographers long ago found that they
cannot penetrate orange-colored glass,
the expertmenters found that they
would not enter undergarments OF that
hue. So orange-colored underwear
has just ben adopted for these hot
weather soldiers, and II 1t affords the

New War Against Dust.

fender in this matter OF raising sum-
mer dust. and 1t Is the worst destroyer
OF macadamized roads, whose surface
1t quickly dsintegrates, besides throw
ing high into the air the dust derived
from horse traffic
Tests with an automobile were late
ly made. in this connection. by Logar
w. Page. director OF the office of pub
lie roads. He had high-speed ca
driven over macadam roads at speed
varied from ten to sixty miles an houl
and discovered that dust raised by the
driving wheels OF the car increased
In proportion with speed. whereas. thai
from the front wheels was practically
the same at all speeds.
Dust preventives OF all kinds have
been studied BIZ his bureau Upon
macadam roads they find that water
lays the dust. but that It's action is
purely temporary.
Bittern, the mother liquor obtained
from the evaporation OF sea water. has
also been tested, as we'll as solutions OF

concluded that the solution Of the dus

VIRGINTA,s FUTURE.

Il believe" said Governor Mann,
in addressing the Rural Life Con-
ference at the University Of Virginia
Yesterday" that during the four years
before us, in which | shall be the
governor OF this commonwealth, with
the help Of the able men who have
taken hold of it in this state and the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. we will increase our corn crop
from $4,000, 900 to 100,000,000 bu-
shells and that when this increase
comes from the use of improved and
intelligent methods the farmers will
not be satisfied to work their other
crops by the old plan, but will apply
these methods to everything they
grow, and thus increase out revenue
from agriculture from $1S2, ,OOO,OOO
as at present to nearly $400, 900, 600.
When this time of prosperity
shall come the enthusiasm which has
been stirred up for good roads will
manifest itself. Our highways will be
put in splendid condition for the

COLONEL GUFFY FAILS.

Col. James M. Guffey, national
democratic committeeman for Penn
sylvania, who figured so prominently
as an object of attack by the Bryan
adherents at the last national demo
cratic convention in Denver. a multi
millionaire oil man, has gone into the
hands OF a receiver, who was appointed
late yesterday by Judge Joseph NJ.
Swearingen, in the Common Pleas Court
of Pittsburg, Pa.
The action was taken upon bill in
equity filed by j. H. Galley, and John
S. Willard, who is familiar with Col
onel Guffey's affairs was named as re-
ceiver
The bill filed alleges that Colonel
Guffey'S Indebtedness is about So, 700,
900. of which about $950,0 900 is un-
secured, that the defendant has no ready
money with which to meet the pay
ments due, and that certain creditors
are threating to sell his collaterals and
enter suits.
1t is further asserted that Colonel
Guffey has assets of over $l7 900, 900,
a large part Of which is stock of the
J. NJ. Guffey Company and the West
Virginia Company, two coal companies
which own 1876, 700 acres of coking
coal in the State OF West Virginia.
These properties are asserted TO be
worth at least SO, ,000,000 and the bill
in equity maintains that they are
estimated to contain 1000, 100000
tons Of coal, which at profit OF cent
a ton would realize $4,000, 600.
Other assets of Colonel Guffcy to
the value OF two or three millions
consist of stocks and bonds Of other
corporations.
All OF these stocks and bonds are
pledged as collateral and the receiver
ship was found necessary to prevent
sacrifice of this collateral. The order of
the court restrains all creditors from
disposing Of any Of the collateral
securities or other assets of Colonel
Guffey pending further order OF the
court. Colonel Guffey said last night:
MY assets are more than double
the amount OF my obligations. | don
expect the receivership to continue any
great length Of time. have properties
of great value and it is only question
OF being permitted to dispose OF them,
without sacrifice, to pay all my obliga-
tiOns.

WORK OF BRIDGE wRECKERs.

As was stated in the Gazette, an at
tempt was made to blow up the
West Belt Lines new bridge on West
Carson street, Pittsburg, Pa, at 2:3O
O'Clock yesterday morning. The con-
tractors who are building the bridge
have been having some labor trouble,
because OF their insistence upon the
open shop policy.
The detonation rocked buildings and
broke windows throughout the West
End district. Some heavy object came
flying Through the fog and punctured a
big hole in the deck Of the steamer
Valiant, lying in the Ohio river nearby.
The mysterious missile then rolled off
and sank, leaving the astonshed crew
to fear that Haley's comet had hurled
parting shot The operator in Lake
Erie switch tower was knocked from his
chair by the explosion and all the win
dOws in his tower broken. The 600
prisoners at the Western Penitentiary
were all aroused, and they feared that
an earthquake had occurred. The
police are investigating the explosion,
and declare it to be their theory that
union workers tried to wreck the bridge
because as many non-union men had
recently been employed.
The contractors, the McClintic-Mar-
shall Construction Company, offer
