We received the other day copy of a
Boston publication we had not seen be-
fore-The Capitalist. Its sane and sem
sible reading matter indicated that it
was Republican in politics, but not so
partisan but that it could heartily en-
dorse President Wilson's plan for pre-
paredness. But how can it hope to sue
coed with such name? The capitalist.
individually and collectively, is the goat
of the present day. Congress and the
State Legislatures work overtime to sur
round him with barbed wire, or red tape
entanglements, and to land him in the
jail or penitentiary. Yet had it not been
for the capitalists this country would
have been unable to handle the many
million dollar contracts for war supplies
that have furnished employment to
thousands of our people who would other
wise, through the operations of the
Underwood tariff, have been homeless
and hungry today. If present conditions
are to continue we should advise the
young men about to enter upon the
activities of life not to become capital
lists. 1t is unpopular.

the country and the flag? Were they
''soulless murderers?" Were the men
they fought, who believed they were
fighting in defence of their liberties and
their homes, to be SO characterized? To-
day they are sharing in. the prosperity
which has attended reunited country
and there is mutual respect between the
wearers of the Blue and the Gray who
fought the battles of the Civil War.
Once year the flag that these veterans
fought for ia hslf-masted and we hold
memorial exercises for those who gave
their lives for their country soldiers
that Jack London stigmatizes as soul
less, heartless and murderous.

Here's Natures Own
Remedy For Catarrh
Hyomei Relieves Catarrh Without the Use
of Dangerous Drugs.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has it
been possible to truthfully say that real rem
edy for catarrh was known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is breathed
through small inhaler furnished with it for
a few minutes four times a day. and during
that time every particle of this Hyomei-l laden
air taken into the air passages and lungs is i'm
pregnated with a powerful germ killing and
heaith-giving antiseptic.
Sprays and lotions often cause disorders of
the respiratory tracts or bring on some other
diseases and never make permanent cure of
catarrh. But when the air Of Hyomei pene-
trates to the Utmost air cells of the lungs and
enters the blood with the oxygen it not only
kills the germs in the throat and nose, but kills
the bacllli in the blood, freeing the mucous
membranes from poisonous microbes and CIV
ing perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and in
cludes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hy-
omei for several weeks treatment.
A. A. Howes & Co. have so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that they agree to re.
turn the money to any purchaser who is not
thoroughly satisfied.

THE WAR NEWS.

According to unofficial dispatches from
Athens the entente Allies have demanded
that Greece either join with them and fulfill
her treaty obligations to Serbia. or demobilize;
and in order to convince King Constantine
that they mean what they say, the Allies
have declared q commercial blockade of the
Hellenic empire. The blockade seems to be a
fact. On the other hand Germany. Austria
and Bulgaria are reported to have signed q
note addressed to the Creek government de-
handing assurances that Servian troops will
not be allowed to pass safely into Greek terri.
tory but will be informed and disarmed if they
retreat into King Constantine's domain. Thus
Greece seems to be between the Devil and
the deep sea. There is still hope that she
may cast her lot with the Allies
From Berlin under date of Nov. 22nd we

Service said that German troops had begun to

English and French in the west, presumably
in preparation for another assault in force,
which have created more hopeful feeling
in the capitals of the Entente Allies.

news given out from Berlin.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it q local disease and prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment; HAIRS Catarrh Cure, manu-
is the only Constitutional cure on the market.

And soon she journeyed on,
To be with him, who not long since.
Left her ere it was dawn.
Just one short month! and she was called
To cross the shining bar,
And is joined with those in eternal rest,
Where the gates are left ajar.
She has gone before tdlead the way
For those whose steps are slow,
Then patient wait. and murmur not,
For God hath willed it SO.

According to the Washington corre-

government inveshg gators estimate that
through fraudulent schemes the public
has been mulcted of S239, 900, 600 in the
last four years. In an effort to reduce this
wholesale fraud the postoffice depart
ment has issued ffty-six fraud orders
during the last year; but while the num-
Der of fraudulent schemes has been
greatly diminished, new ones are con-
stantly turning up. The other day John
T. Hall, New York music publisher,
was given two years in the Atlanta Fed
eral prison for conducting fraudulent
song competition through the mails. In
some cases the fake is apparently so
obvious that it is surprising that any
one should be deceived by it.

An article on Thanksgiving Memo

call to many the old-time observance Of
the day. The recounter, speaking of a
Thanksgiving at his uncle's when he
was four years old, says he ''preferred
the sparerib to all the turkey and goose
in the world" This is surprising, as
within the writer's recollection the
choice of the juveniles was always for the
"drumstick" Of turkey or chicken. Us
uaIly later in life the second joint of the

A Missouri editor has been telling his
brother editors the kind of news that
should be found in the country news
paper, and here is his illustration of
what constitutes olive news"
You might see fencepost, you might
see COW, you might see an apple, and
yet none of these things alone would be
news But if you CHANGED to see COW
sitting on fencepost eating an apple,
that would certainly be live news.
If any one sees Waldo county COW in
this position they are requested to notify
this office at once by telephone or wire
less. Our speciality is live news.
