CHICAGO, July 5.-The Chicago Tri-
bune, in an extra edition publishes an
interview with man describing himself
as a college mate of Muenter in the Uni

as saying:
Frank Holt is the Erich Muenter
who took his degree Of A. B. at the
University of Chicago in 1899 and later
fled from Cambridge, Mass. following
the death of his wife. and has since
been a fugitive.
There is no doubt about Muenter ana
Holt being the same man.. He has kept
hidden all these years through a re-
markable rehabilitation under the name
of Holt.

"Muenter was born in Germany but
since his rehabilitation has claimed to
have been born in Texas of German
parentage. For a time he taught Ger

Commissioner Woods refused to put
himself on record today as to Holts
sanity. He declared. however, that the
irrationalism the college instructor has
exhibited thus far seemed genuine to
him. though it possibly resulted from
long hours of severe sweating.
Holt talked wildly while he gave the
police details of his plan to force Mrs.
Morgan and the Morgan children into
a room. and hold them hostages, under
threats of murder until ]. p. Morgan
went to Europe and ended the war.
The police first learned Of this plan

CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Must Be Destroyed Before Catarrt,
Itself Can Be Cured, Says Spe-
ciaIst. Wonderful Results from
Breathing Medieated Air.

Medicine taken into the stomach will
never cure catarrh. And neither will the
sprays douches, lotions, creams and
otner temporary reliefs that so many
catarrh victims make a habit OF using.
To cure catarrh so it won't come back
you must first drive from your body the
millions of germs that are fourisEing
in the inner recesses of your nose and
throat and are causing the disease.
There is a preparation which does this
called Hyomei pronounced Hlgh-O-me).
Hyomei is a germ killing vaporized air
formed from the purest oil of Eucalyptus
combined with other healing and antisep-
through the mouth and nose by means of
a little hard rubber inhaler which drug
seists furnish with it. This medicated
eerrnicidal air penetrateS into every fold
and crevice of the mucous membrane OF
your nose and throat, kills the catarrh
germs that lodge there, soothes,. reduces
and heals the swollen, intiamed MEM
branes, stops the discharge and opens up
the clogged nose and air passages in q
truly wonderful way. 1t gives blessed
relief in five minutes from catarrhal dis
tress of every kind and if you make a
pra ctice Of breathing Hyomei for a few
minutes each day for just few weeks
tarrh vanish but the disease itself will
be a thing Of the past. No one need try
or buy Hyomei on pure faith. Bowditch-
Webster Co. and many other leading
druggists In Augusta and vicinity sell it
with the positive guarantee that it must
cure catarrh or that the money paid for
it win me refunded. Hyomei is very in
snfee behind your purchase there is alb
solutely no reason why any sufferer from
Catarrh should not give it q fair trial.
