The clippings are rather amusing to

the criticism is for political purpose.
No doubt some mistakes have been
made and we expect there always will
be.

CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
Only Way To Cure This Disease Is To
Destroy Its Cause.

If you have catarrh and want to get
rid of it you must kill the germs which
cause catarrh. Stomach dosing, oint.
ments, sprays, creams, doucnes, etc, fail
because they overlook this fact. They
all help by giving temporary relief but
they do not reach the germ life that
has found Judgement in your head, nose,
throat, and could not destroy it If they
did.
The best known way Of destroying
the dangerous germs Of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself,
is to breathe into the air passages Of
your nose and throat the pleasant, pene.
trating air of Hyomei pronounced
High.o.mc). Hyomei is made from
purest oil Of Eucalyptus combined with
other powerful, healing, antiseptic and
germicidal ingredients. You breathe il
through a little pocket inhaler which

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, L. l.,
Dec. 22.-French forces captured the
summit Of Hartmannsweilerkopf by as.
saulting it with strong forces, the war
office admitted today.
Battling for this position on the
west front has progressed since April.
The Germans claimed to have recap
tured it partly.
"Yesterday the French attacked
MISUNDERSTANDING and Hirszstein, "
said the war office. "They succeeded
in taking the top of Hartmannsweiler-
kopf which we have held since April.
They also took a small section Of trench
at Hilsenfarst. An attack near Metz
eral broke down. On the rest of the
western front, dark weather and heavy
snow have resulted in inactivity.
Hartmannsweilerkopf, in the Vosges,
is the dominating peak of southern
Alsace, overlooking roads to the Rhine.
Already, it has taken a bloody toll
for thousands Of chasseuers died in
the months since April in their efforts
to rout out the Teutons.
Hartmannsweilerkopf is in the Vos-
ges. For several days the combat there
has been unusually severe, and the
Paris war office last night commented
that a charge Of French troops, after
artillery preparation, "permitted us to
occupy an important part of the
enemy'c works and to take prisoners. "
