Feature Of New Law.

A feature of the new weights and
measures legislation enacted at the
last regular session of the legislature
which has just been brought to the
public attention is the fact that it will
now be necessary to teach the new
weights and measures in the public
schools OF the state in connection with
the other standard tables already
taught. To prepare for this the at
tention of the teachers of the state
will be called to the new law at the
various county institutes, and Miss

Washington-Arriv of the press
translation of the German note con-
frmed impressions which have been
current in official quarters for several
days that Germany would refuse to
give the assurances asked for by the
United States in her last note that the
lives of Americans travelling the high
seas on unarmed ships of any nation
ality be not endangered.
Another Issue Raised.
The apparent restrictions placed by
Germany on the use of American
passenger ships, which are to be given
complete immunity from interference
only If they do not carry contraband,
was regarded in many quarters as
adding another to the many issues
which have arisen over submarine
warfare. Assumption of liability for
the loss of Americans in the Lusitania
tragedy was considered to have been
wholly evaded by Germany and the
chief principle for which the United
States announced that it would omit
mo word or act" to see observed was
viewed as having been lightly passed
over"
To Hold Germany Responsible.
What the course of the United
States will be is problematical. Many
of those in official quarters who have
been familiar with Germany's pro-
posals as outlined by Ambassador
Gerard in the last few days are in
favor of an emphatic assertion by the
American Government that it intends
to exercise the rights which it holds
under international law, placing upon
Germany the responsibility for any
future violation that may cause a
breach in friendly relations.
Many persons conversant with
diplomatic precedents in the framing
Of notes believed that the next step
OF necessity would be an advance in
the position of the United States, for,
having asked for assurances and failed
to receive them the field for further
negotiation had been considerably
narrowed and now requires some as
sertion Of rights.

Berlin.-The text OF the German
note follows:
Berlin, July g.
"The undersigned has the honor to
make the following reply to his Excel
lency Ambassador Gerard to the note
OF American interests by the German
submarine war. The Imperial Govern
ment learned with satisfaction from
the note how earnestly the Govern
ment of the United States is concern
ed in seeing the principles of humanity
realized in the present war. Also this
appeal finds ready echo in Germany
and the Imperial Government Is quite
willing to permit its statements and
decisions in the present case to be
governed by the principles Of hui
mainly just as it has done always
always" Humane.
"The Imperial Government well
coined with gratitude when the Ameri-
can Government in the note OF May
Is itself recalled that Germany has al
ways permitted itself to be governed
by the principles of progress and hui
manity in dealing with the law OF
maritime war. Since the time when
Frederick the Great negotiated with
John Adams. Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas jefferson the treaty of friend
ship and commerce of September 9,
1855. between Prussia and the Re
public of the West, German and
American statesmen have, in fact, al
ways stood together in the struggle
for the freedom OF the seas and for
the protection of peaceable trade. In
the international proceedings which
since have been conducted for the
regulation OF the laws of maritime
war Germany and America have joint
" advocated progressive principles,
especially the adjustment of the
right of capture at sea and the pro
lection of the interests OF neutrals.
Would Change International Law.
Even at the beginning of the pres
ent war the German Government i'm
mediately declared it's willingness, in
response to proposals of the Ameri-
can Government, to ratify the Declare
ton of London and thereby subject
itself in the use of its naval forces to
all the restrictions provided therein
In favor of neutrals. Germany like
wise has been always teacious of the
principle that war should be conduct
ed against the armed and organized
forces of an enemy country, but that
the enemy civilian population must
be spared as far as possible from the
measures of war.
"The Imperial Government cherishes
the definite hope that some way will
be found when peace is concluded, or
perhaps earlier, to regulate the law OF
maritime war in manner guaran-
teeing the freedom of the seas, and
will welcome it with gratitude and
satisfaction if it can work hand-in-
hand with the American Government
on that occasion.
IF in the present war the principles
which should be the ideal of the future
have been traversed more and more
the longer its duration, the German
Government has no guilt therein. 1t is
known to the American Government

Of Hyomei here in Ellsworth are
unioue in the annals of medicine.
such astonishing successes have been
made by this remarkable remedy that
the proprietors have authorized g. A..

omei under an absolute guarantee that
it will knock out cartarrh for good.
Ii it does not, the purchaser can have
his money refunded by Mr.. Parcher.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is pronounced the only method of
treatment that sends by direct inhala-
ton to the most remote part Of the
air passages, balsamic air that de-
stroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enriches and puri-
fies the blood with additional ozone,
and gives permanent and complete
relief from catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life time,
aud If one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle can be obtained for a
trihing sum. II is more economical
than any remedy advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature

GETTING BULL ON FEED.
Treatment For Animal That 10 Weak

From Excessive Bleeding.
Several times you have had inquiries
about what to do after excessive bleed
ing following dehorning, writes j. E
Allyn in Hoard's Dairyman. We had
such a case. A yearling bull Of some
value became SO weak that he could
stand only with difficulty and wholly
refused food or drink for nearly two
days. Apparently nothing would tempt
him.
The first expedient tried was fresh
milk. He would not drink, but every
three or four hours / "drenched" him
with a pint, which he would readily
swallow and which probably helped
him to hold on Finally thu second
day, after several trials, found thai
a pinch of salt on his tongue seemed tc
arouse his interest a little. This sci
me to puzzling over what had heard
about intravenous injections Of saline
solution that physicians use In the
case Of loss of blood. Not being ex
pert in that sort Of thing, | did moi
care to venture exactly that, but in
stead offered him warm brine tt
drink Rather to my surprise he
drank it readily and perhaps a hal!
hour later began to eat little. From
that time on everything seemed to g
well, and In few weeks the "old man
was himself again.

fault. 1t is more than habit. One
may by the right kind of treatment
overcome bad habit. but this is some
thing that is born with the cow, as q
rule. We find it in certain family re-
lations If the mother is addicted to
being short milker her offspring will
be apt to have the same characteristic.
The only way know of to overcome
such failing in family Of short
mixers is to cross them with bull
that is known to come from long
milking ancestry. Some cows have the
characteristic Of holding out long
time. Another COW l had for many
years could scarcely be dried off at all.
1t seemed to me best to give my cows
a time of rest every year after a long
period of lactation. But when tried
to dry that COW off found had job
of no small proportions on my hands.
She was as persistent in keeping on as
the other COW was in stopping. l am
sure could have MIXED her the year
round.
Now, by taking bull from long
mixer and mating him with a COW
that does not hold out long we may
get a cross that will hold out longer,
and so we may after a time breed the
fault out entirely, but does 1t pay
Seems to me not. especially If one is
situated SO that he can get good COW
