Catarrh Is Surely Dangerous Disease

Thousands OF people allow catarrh TO
slowly undermine the whole system
until serious disease develops-some-
times consumption.
People who have catarrh should use
every effort TO get rid of it, but should
above all adopt a sensible method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and douches
won't cure catarrh because il is germ
disease, and the germs must be destroy
ed before the disease can be conquered.
HYOMEI is the one sensible cure for
catarrh because it reaches every fold,
crevice and nook in the mucous men,
brane and gets where the germs are.
You breathe HYOMEI and as il passes
over the infiamed membrane its sooth-
ing influence heals the soreness and de-
stroys the germs.
A complete,H outfit costs 81 90
This consists of u bottle of HYOMEI
nd hare rubber inhaler. Pour a fe W
drops of HYOMEI into the inhaler and
breathe it few minutes each day, that's
all you have TO do. 1t is guaranteed
by w. 1. Benedict and druggists every
where TO cure catarrh, coughs, colds
and sore throat or money back. Extra
bottle OF HYOMEI costs so cents.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so

Not one so important to health.

LEE LECTURE TOMORROW.
Man Whom England Couldn't Hang
Will Speak at Theater,

John Lee, residing at Kearsarge, the
man whom England thrice failed to
hang. and who later spent 22 years Of
his life IN English prisons, will lecture
tomorrow afternoon at the Calumet
theater. The lecture will commence at
2:3O o'clock, and promises to be very
largely attended.
Lee has published a book on his
life. and this has been extensively read
especially by local Englishmen, a
large majority of whom are familiar
with the circumstances that led up to
his trial and conviction on the charge
of numbering an old lady at Babba
combe, Devonshire, Eng.
Lee throughout the trial vigorously
protested his innocence He was con-
victed on purely circumstantial evil
dence. The telling of his life story to-
morrow afternoon should be full of
pathetic interest, and will undoubtedly
be listened to with rapt attention.

TO VETO RANKIN BILL.
Governor Believes Fraternities Should
Be Permitted.

De FcTNlittcOs
Lansing, Mich, April Ex-Governor
Osborn win veto the Rankin bill pro-
hibitng fraternities I'm the public
schools Of the state. At least this is
the present intention OF the governor.
The bill passed the house early i'm
the session but when il went to the
senate it was supposed to be dead
since the committee on judiciary re-
fused To report IT out. But in the last
hours of the session the bill was sud-
denly taken from the committee and
passed. Then IL went to the govern
or. His reasons for vetoing. If he fin
ally does, are that fraternities cannot
be legislated out of existence that
boys i'm the high schools are just COM
ing into manhood and To take away or
attempt to take away the right To Or
ganize secret fraternities is depriving
them of some of their liberties. lie
argues also that from the moral stand
point to attempt TO legislate frater-
mites out OF existence will be merely
to drive them to secret cover, where
there will be no control whatever over
them.

URES HAVE BEEN SECURED
FOR ENGLAND OWING
TO CORONATION.

London, April 22.-The most notable
season Of grand opera ever given in the
English metropolis opens at Covent
Garden tonight, TO continue until the
end Of July. ON account of the coro-
nation il is planned 10 make the sea-
son a particularly notable one and there
is every prospect that IL will eclipse
all records for variety and brilliancy.
The outstanding features Of the pro-
gram will be the number of leading
singers who will take part the general
lightness Of the operas selected, the en-
.gagement of the Imperial Russian Bal
let. and the gala performance follow
ing the coronation. The gala perfor-
nance by royal command" will be
given on the Monday after the corona
tion, June 26. Already nearly all the
boxes and stalls have been engaged by
members Of the Court for their guests.
The prices for the special performance
range from 1926 for grand tier boxes
TO about So for a single seat I'm the
topmost gallery.
The seasons programme provides
for two novelties, SO far as London
audiences are concerned. The fore
most OF these is Puccini's The Girl
of the Golden West" which has al.
ready scored a success in America.
Mile. Destinn, who created the title
part I'm New York. will appear in Lon
don also, with NJ Bassi as the leading
tenor and NJ. Gilly as the baritone.

Madero Agrees to Armistice.

Washington, ID. c.. April 22-Dr.
Gomez, confidential agent of the Mex
lean Revolutionists I'm the United
States, today received a telegram from
General Madero authorizing him to be-
gin negotiations with the Mexican
government for an immediate armis-
tice. News Of the agreement to ar
range an armistice was Immediately
telegraphed by Gomez to Della Barra
minister of foreign affairs at Mexico
city, with whom he has been i'm con-
slant communication during the last
few days.
Gomez declared to the Associated
ably will be along the same lines of
the conferences held with Limantour
and De La Barra when they were in
the United States.
Mexican Ambassador De Zamacona
was elated when he heard an armis-
tice had been agreed to by Madero. He
seemed confident the disturbance in
Mexico would soon end.
Gomez wired General Madero Ia
send him complete instructions, not
only for an armistice but for the peace
conferences that are to follow.
The belief is general here that Mex
leo viii quickly agree to an armistice
although action by that government
may be taken "unoflclal!y" i'm order
TO avoid public recognition of the In
surrectos.
The sudden change i'm the attitude
OF Madero, who, until late last night
was reported to be obdurate against
both the armistice and peace proposals
was explained here by the fact that
Gomez in his numerous MESA ges
within the last twenty four hours
pointed out the complications that had
arisen between the United States ant
Mexico over the incidents on the bor.
der. Gomez believed American inter
Vention was not an impossibility ant
hastened to demonstrate with the Reb-
el leaders against any repetition along
the American border of such incidents
as occurred at Douglas. The Mexicar
government In its relations with DIR
Gomez, particularly through Senor ID,
Ia Rarra. has shown n desire to trea
the Insurgents with all courtesy and
good feeling. and has indicated Il II
earnest to begin systematic reforma
ton of present conditions i'm Mexico.
