edy Made from Australian Eu-
calyptus and Other Antisep-
tics. Just Breathe It.

II you will use a common sense method,
getting rid of eatarrh Is easy.
Germs cause catarrh, you know that. and you
also know that in order to end eatarrh you
must destroy the germs.
In every HYOMEI outfit which is sold by
Henry Evans and Jas. O'Donnell and druggists
everywhere there is a little bottle of antiseptic
LIQUID that will kill catarrh germs.
Pour a few drops OF this liquid into the lit
tie hard rubber inhaler which comes with the
outfit and breathe this now antiseptic vaporized
air over the membrane of the nose and throat
infested with catarrh germs.
It's pleasant, soothing and healing, is this
vaporized air, and 10 is really the only remedy
known that can reach and kill catarrh germs.

Department was carrying free for the
government. The weighing and count

months of the year 1907. The latter
part of the period was considered dull,
commercially, but this would not nee

eminent During this half year $4,000
600 pounds of government mail was
handled, which was at the rate OF
$4,000 tons a year. The report showed

however, in proportion than these fig-

session only a portion of the time the
weighing was made, and the vast
amount of free seeds and free govern

spring were, therefore. not included.

postal service handled $4,000 pieces or

BOARD AFTER HAHRS
/. AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY
Determined Effort of the Au-
thorities to Break Up
the Custom.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, September 1o-The
work of the board OF investigation ap'
pointed by Supt- Gibbons for the purpose
of inquiring into hazing at the Naval
Academy has broadened its scope. and
there is every indication that the board
will make an exhaustive inquiry into the
subject, as did the board appointed by
Admiral James H Sands, then super
intendent, which met in 19o5-19O6. and
unearthed the facts upon which Ions
series of courts-martial Of midshipmen
for hazing was founded.
All on the Grill.
So many piebes were called before the
board today that the purpose of the board
to ask every fourth classmen what he
knew in regard to hazing was manifest
While there is no doubt that hazing does
not exist to the extent it did prior to
1905, it is thought that enough has al
ready been found to substantiate the fact
that hazing has never stopped for any
considerable period. There Is general anx-
iety as to whether courts-martial VIII fol-

Commander G. B. McVay, jr., the SEN

nearly 10000 letters a day are re-
ceived at the Capitol. The Post ONCE
Department is the greatest producer OF
government mail, with the Department
OF Agriculture second and the Treas
ury Department third. The Treasury
Department receives an average OF
about 1000 letters a day. One word
saved in every letter mailed by the fed
eral government would enable IL 10 lay
off enough stenographers to do the
work of a business corporation trans
acting an annual million-dollar bust
ness.
Counting the stamps on stamped en-
yelopes, postal cards and newspaper
wrappers, over 1900, 900, 900 postage
stamps, or more than a thousand for
every man, woman and child in the
country, are issued every year. These
range in value from i cent to So. The
average stamp user has never seen a
five-dollar stamp, yet more than 5000
of them are sold each year, while over
10000 one-dollare stamps pass through
the stamp windows of the country, In
the years gone by the government is
sued a stamp worth 500. II was a
newspaper stamp. and was never seen
by the public. Ii was placed on the
book in the Office OF the dispatcHng
postmaster and Cancelled there: All
newspaper stamps have been discon-
tinued.
The story of the origin of the postage
stamp has in il pleasing little romance.
Some sixty-five years ago Rowland ftili
was STAYING at an English inn when the
daughter of the landlord received a let
ter by mail. Looking 1t over from one
end to the other she inquired OF the
postman what the charges were. he re-
ulied that il was a shilling. She dio not
| have the money to pay the charges ana
| Hill paid them for her. Afterward she
| told him she was sorry he had done so
that she and her lover had evolved a 1T
| tie code of their own by which they put
their messages on the outside or the let
| tiers and thus could send them through
the mails without paying, allowing the
postal authorities to eestroy the letters
after they had looked them over and re-
fused to pay tie charges. This put HUI
to thinking, and the pay-in-advance
stamp was the result
The Post Office Department has long
striven to do everything in its power for
the convenience of the big users or the
mail Large business houses long felt
the loss from the petty grating or
stamps by Office boys and others higher
I'D. To provide means of identification
so as to protect the buyers OF large
quantities of stamps ii was arranged
that the stamps may be perforated with
numbers or letters not over half an fneh
square. This has resulted in a large
decline in the petty differing OF postage
stamps.

Portugal Meets Resistance in Break.

gn Correspondence of The Star.

LISBON, September 20, 1911.
Senior Bernardino Machado, speaking
at Setubal, was enthusiastically ap-
plauded when he referred to the pro-
visional governments law with regard
to the separation Of the church from
the state. In the north the commits
sion for the registration of church
ornaments has encountered resistance in
several villages. The second attempt
to compile a register at Chello led to
the ringing of the church bells and the
assembling of large number of
peasants. mostly women. armed with
scythes and axes, who surrounded the
church. The troops were not able to
effect an entrance until they had fixed
their bayonets. All the ornaments, in
Guiding images, had been previously re-
moved from the other churches.

During the series of courts-martiaI
which took place early in 1906 many mid
shipmen were dismissed. and the prosecu-
ton was finally ended when the first class
pledged itself to end hazing. While the
pledge was not renewed by other classes
the heads of the academy have called
the midshipmen's attention to the federal
statute on the subject and the oath that
all midshipmen take on entering to abb
stain from all forms of the practice.

CONAN DOYLE CONVERT
TO HOME RULE IDEA
Gives His Views in Message
That Was Read at Demon
Strati0n in Belfast.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

DUBLIN. September %, 1911.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, twice union.
list candidate for parliament, was asked
by the Belfast Evening Telegraph to send
a message to be read at the loyalist DEM
onstration in Belfast. He replied, an.
nouncing his conversion to home rule
saying:
II have twice contested parliamentary
seats as q unionist. but on each occa.
sion I very carefully defined my own po.
sition as regards home rule. That posi-.
ton was that home rule would only be
safe with an altered economic condition
and gentler temper among the people
and, above all. after the local representa-
tive institutions already given had been
adequately tested 1t seems to me that
these conditions have now been fairly
we'll complied with. So far as being law
abiding citizens goes, England, which is
just recovering from a period of abso-
lutte anarchy, is not in a position to criti-
else Ireland, which remained perfectly
quiet during the same time.
There are other more general consid-
erations which have, as 1t seams to me-
profoundly altered the whole Irish aues-
ton. One Is the apparently complete sue
cess of home rule in South Africa. This
has had a great influence upon my mind,
for the animosities In Ireland are tep.d
compared to the boiling racial passion
which existed only ten years ago.
Irish Loyalty Needed.
"a second is our assurance that Ireland
never can break away from the union.
since South Africa showed that every
state of the British empi.e would unite
against any disruption. l think that a
solid loyal Ireland is the one thing which
the empire needs o make it impregna-
Bile and / believe that The men Of the
north will have a patriotism SO broad and
enlfghtened that they will un ierstand this
and will sacrifice foe the moment their
racial and religious feelings In the conyic-
ton that by so doing they are truly serv-
ing the empire.
sarhey may rest assured that any at
tempt at religious persecution or finan-
cial spoilation would be made impossible
df any one contemplated such a thing)
by the burst of Indignation which II
would produce. There may be an element
of risk in home rule. but we ran the risk
in Canada, and we ran the risk in Africa,
SO surely we need not fear, after two
successes. to try it once again. believe
that after an experience of a united.
friendly Ireland nothing would induce the
north to go back to the old conditions"
