How To Destroy Catarrh
Germs and End Catarrh
Forever

Catarrh Is a germ disease and the only
way TO cure II so II will stay cured and never
come back IL TO kill and drive out OF your
system the catarrhal germs which have found
Judgment there. When the germs go the
catarrh will stop. The trouble with most
treatments like sprays, salves, creams,
greasy balms, lotions, etc, Is that they give
only temporary relief by opening up for
while the clogged head, throat, and nostrils-
In a little time the catarrh comes bnck as
bad ever
People who suffer continually from cararrh
should drop such temporary Inakeshifts and
get something that really gets at the root OF
the disease and stamps II out. There Is moth
ing better for such cases than breathing into
your nose and lungs the pleasant, soothing,
healing germ destroying air OF Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me) made from purest oil OF
Eucalyptus and combined with other powerful
healing antiseptic and germ destroying In
gradients. Hyomei penetrates and heals the
innamed swollen membranes OF your nose
and throat, stops discharges. clears the pas
ages and completely overcomes the disease
by destroying its cause. For catarrh germs
cannot live in your body after HyomeI reaches
them. O'Donnelis Drug Store and many
other good druggists In Washington and vi
entity have long sold Hyomei on positive
guarantee OF successful results or money lack
and md this generous policy pays. Most
druggists are now giving a pocket Inhaler
made from hard rubber with every complete
treatment sold. This makes a very simple.
easy and convenient as well as a thoroughly

method this dangerous and often disgusting
disease. ......

washlngtonians. particularly automo-

the police display. a new "go-go" signal
designed by Major Pullman. chief Of
police.
1t has many advantages over Signals

Of the universal railroad signaling sys-
tenn. with an improved lantern that
may be distinctly seen at any distance.
The standard colors are used. green
for 60. and red for stop. but the soma
phores are shaped along the limos Of
the universal railroad semaphores.
Consequently, they can be read easily
by the color blind. or by an autcmo bile
driver when the colors are obscursd.
The green semaphore 10 cut In at the
enug IKE an arrow, as are the rnllroad
semaphores. while the red one 10 round

Because OF this fact, an approach
Inc automobiles will know how the
sign Is set. before he can distinguish
colors.
At night a regular railroad signal
ling lantern, clearly visible for a
quarter of a mile, will be used. The
old bulls eye signals, heretofore in
use, gave the same trouble that was
had in Detroit and other cities. They
could not be seen until an automo-
mile was directly in front or right
on top OF the light.
The new "go-go" Is mounted over
an umbrella, and is topped by the
new lantern. II probably will be used
to supplant the signals now in use.
Experts from all OF the Govern
ment departments and bureaus, with
q number OF marines. policemen. and
coast guard men, were present at the
exhibit this morning to give informa-
tion and instruction to all visitors
who desired IL.
Though the exhibit will be open for
the usual hours today, there will be
no lectures or other features because
OF the holiday.
The exhibit occupies all OF the nrst
floor OF the new Museum building.

As for a Cemetery for Pets OF
Rich Folk Senators Are
Against Ii Too.

ALBANY. Feb. Ex-senator James A.
Foley. who represents Tammany Boss
Murphy's home district and admits he
never owned dog. tried last night
to pass a bill permitting a society OF
dog fanciers to receive funds in trust
to maintain dog cemetery. erect
monuments and keep green the graves
of pets.
Heckled by senators who could not
see the need for such legislation, Foley
lost patience and exclaimed:
We'll, the Thompson committee has
been looking for a yellow dog. Wouldn't
II be well to have n suitable place "a

Running true TO form the senate,
which doesn't believe In hunting saffron

Foley said afterward that the dog
fanciers planned to establish the ceme-
terry at Hampsdale, and that several
millionaires and women OF society were
behind the hill.

1t is not necessary to shampoo
quite so frequently if your hair is
properly cleansed each time by use
of a really good shampoo. The cas-

readers may be prepared very cheap

canthrox, obtained from your drug

NEW U.BOATS READY
TO STRIKE AT ALLIES
Germans Celebrate Year Of
Submarine War and Plan
for a Greater Campaign.

BERLIN, Feb. IS. O)clayed).-A year
ago today the German proclamation OF
submarine warfare became effectual.
and all Germany is celebrating the an
niversary Of this most modern form OF
naval war.
There is a general feeling among the
people that on this very day large num-
bers of greatly improved new F,bma
rines are ready To start against the
enemy.
All the newspapers publish long re-
views Of the last twelve months Of tn .
U-Doat war. which. they ADMIT. has
been greatly impeded by the American
objection, to meet which Germany was
compelled TO decrease her activity In
the North sea.
Immediately" scvs the Lok1lanzeI.
er. England accredited her own feet
with having again proved to the world
her sea domination.
Despite all the impedirnents, however.
the German U-boats have succeeded in
sending more than rer cent OF the
British mercantile feet to the bottom
of the sea, thereby causing a scarcity
Of tonnage which has effectively raised
| the prices of all foodstuffs and muni-
tons and caused alarm In England. and
even despair In some Of the allied coun-
/ tries, like Italy.
Meanwhile, German U-boats have
found new field OF activity In tho
Mediterranean, where II is not deemed
necessary officially to circumscrlbo a
war zone.
"rheir splendid work there Is still in
everybody's mind. England aTShc out
| set OF the U-boat war. withdrew all her
| tinc cruisers and dreadnaugtts into hri-
ing places, made inaccessible to Ger
man submarines BY nets and mines. Al
the same time she armed her merchants
men with guns.
Lately the German admiralty has
got possession OF British naval docu-
ments which order armed merchantmen
| to attack any U-hoat sighted. Creatins
| thereby a new situation which even
| America must take into account We
are confident our E-boats will yet cut
the heart OF this terrible wars creator
