CELEBRATION UNIVERSAL.
Methods Differ Greatly, but New Years
Is Observed Everywhere.

Methods Differ Greatly, but New Years
Is Observed Everywhere.
The commencement of new year
has been held in veneration by every
nation of antiquity. Notwithstanding
the diversity of opinion as to what is
really the beginning Of another year,
all agree in celebrating some day OF
joy and festivity.
The ancient Greeks began their year
about the summer solstice, June II;
the Persians also in June, the Chinese
in March, and the Abyssinians begin
their year in August. Among the an
Gent Mexicans the beginning of the
new year was in February.
The new years day of the, Romans
previous to the age Of julius Caesar
was vague and uncertain and was held
generally in March or April. Caesar
sent to Egypt for the celebrated as
tronomer, Sosigenes, by whose assist
ance the Julian calendar was regulated.
The last day of the old year and the
first day of the new were cOnsecrated
to the god Janus by these old RO-
mans; hence he is usually represented
with two faces Cooking backward and
forward.
The ceremony of wishing one another
a happy new year originated with the
Romans, as did the custom Of present
ing new year gifts.
In northern Europe the druids went
into the woods on the last night Of the
year and cut the mistletOe with a gold
en- instrument. This was afterward dis
tributed among the people, who pre-
served it about their persons as an am
ulet against the dangers of battle.
In Scotland New Years eve is called
Hogmenay or Singin cen. because in
certain parts of the country the young
men are in the habit of going about the
country singing long song suitable to
the season and begging meals and mon
ey. which are generally distributed
among the poor.

IF YOU HAVE CATARRH
READ THIS.
Breathe HYomei Four Times Day and
Watch Results -Gives Prompt Relief.

The pleasantest, most convenient
aud most scientific method for the
treatment of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put few drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every
complete package and then breathe
its air for a few minutes, four times
a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most i'm
portant discoveries of science have
always been the simplest. BY breath
ing Hyomei in this.way every particle
of air that enters the air passages of
the throat and head and goes into the
lungs is charged with healing balsam
that kills the germs and bacilli of
catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show an improvement and in short
time there should be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive but
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you w. W. Albers will
return your money. What other
treatment for catarrh is sold under a
guarantee like this?

EAT A SQUARE MEAL AND
NOT FEAR DIGESTION

There are hundreds of people in
Wausau who were not the least bit
surprised when they read in the Pilot
that W. W. Albers is selling Mona
on a guarantee to refund the money
in case it did not relieve. This re-
markable dyspepsia remedy will re-
lieve the worst case of Indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the general
played-out condition that afflicts every
one suffering with stomach trouble.
Mi-e-na does not simply relieve, it
aims to cure.
w. W. Albers can tell you OF many
well known people in this city who
this remedy has restored to health.
often after they have tried many
other methods of treatment with lit
Tie or no benefit. No other dyspepsia
remedy has made 50 large a reyca.ss..

that W. w Alhers stands ready to
refund the price to any customer
whom it does not help.
The best kind Of advertising is the
praise Of pleased customer. and
there are hundreds in Wausau today
pfaising Mona because it does what
1t IS advertised to do. A few months
ago they could eat nothing without
wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mona, they eat what
they want and when they want with
no fear Of suffering.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.
Der d

umn all the Christmas cheer that has
already come to this door. Not ex-
pensive gifts, indeed, but all the
more acceptable because coming from
true, loyal hearts. Some from shut-ins
and invalids, whose weak fingers can
hardly hold pen; and somehow these
few words carry more Of the heart
than any printed booklet, yet these
are appreciated too.
If we could but grasp the hand OF
each one, but that is impossible, and
so to all, this little corner must carry
all the cheer possible. May this be
the Merriest and Happiest Christmas
and New Year.! The very best ever.

seem possible that anybody could be
otherwise than glad and happy? Yet
we mothers know by experience that
even on Xmas morning we are apt to
feel irritated and impatient over
petty trifles. No doubt we have been
sitting up late and tired nerves are
calling for rest Then how provoking
to hear the children routing around

any work to do. The girls must be

Some Lucky New Year Ways.

Throughout Europe many delightful
New Year customs prevail. In Scandi-
navia a feast is always prepared for
the little birds, which might otherwise
go hungry on account of the deep
SHOWS.
In Holland, as in Scotland, the wind
is noted with care, because the luck
Of the year will be determined by the
direction whence it blows. The south
wind brings heat and fertility, the
west wind milk and fish, the north
wind cold and storm and the east
wind a fruitful season.
In Italy the New Year is day of
greeting and good will and special
feasting. Sicilian peasants take ad-
vantage of the fete to drive to town
in their gay carts, so that the country
roads are merry with the music of tin
king bells.
And Swiss folk, practical, industri-
Gus. stop their work for the nonce and
visit friends, even when they have to
carry their babies down the mountain
slopes in cradles on their heads.

tkJI* NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
What the New Year
Should Mean to You

VT does not seem a very long
g time ago that we were talk
ing about the coming of
new year, with its neces-
sity for the balancing of all ac-
counts, that we might learn just
how we stood with regard to
the profits and losses of the
twelve months that were about
to be filed away in the archives
of life as ancient history. And
now that that ssnew" year, too,
has gone we are face to face
with another New Years day
face to face with the same old
problems.
To many of us the year that
has passed has not been par
ticularly pleasant. To some of
us, in fact, it may have brought
SO many frustrated hopes, so
many disappointments, that we
are more than usually glad to
bid it godspeed that we may
hail with joy the advent OF
new and, as we fondly hope, a
better opportunity. Yet, as a
matter of fact, if we stop for a
moment to look back over the
twelve months that are now so
rapidly drawing to a close,
there are but few of us who
will not find that the old year
!. has been a pretty good year
after all

JANUS.

'Tis mine to guard the portal Of the year.
To close or open to the seasons four
And to the importuning throng of days.
Sometimes hear the tread of stormy feet,
Hoarse trumpet blasts and loud assaulting
blows
And threats to pull my ancient fortress
down,
But other times they come with batteries
smooth,
Entreating, Janus, Janus let US in!'
I watchful stand; will not turn the key
Until my glass and fingered dial stern
Declare the moment ripe. Two ways I
look;
Two faces I present-one scanned with cid
And gray with looking on the frozen past,
One fresh as morn and fronting days to be,
Now, while the surging, deep toned bells
lament
The passed year, e'er tickle. they shall
change
Their solemn burden for a round Of joy,
Ginning the praises of the year new
crowned
Edith Thomas in New Years Masque."

PROHIBITION FAVORED
 BY KING GEORGE
British Monarch Volunteers to Give Up Use of Alcoholic liquors in
 Royal Household.

London, April 1.-King George has added his plea to that of the ship owners and, in some cases that of the laborites themselves, that some vigor- ous measures be adopted to cope with tho question of drunkenness, which, it is urged, is having the effect of de- laying the delivery of munitions of war.
 The King has volunteered, if it is considered advisable. personally to give up the use of all alcoholic liquors ar to issue an order against their use in the royal household. Such a notification has been sent to David Lloyd George, the chancellor of the eNchequcr by the kings private sec retary, Lord Stamfordham.
 At a meeting of the Glasgow Ii- quor dealers it was decided to ask MT. Lloyd George receive a deputation from them which will suggest a dras- tic reduction in the hours for the sale of liquor. The same deputation will confer with the labor leaders.
