SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATArRRfR{
Just Breathe HyOmei Four Times a
Day and Be Relieved

If few years ago some one haC
said you could treat catarrh by
breathing air charged with a healing
balsam, the idea would have been rid
iculed and it remained for that emin-
ent investigator, R. T. Booth, to dis
cover in Hyomei this wonderful meth
cd of treatment.
Hyomei has performed almost mir
aculous results in treating catarrh
and is today recognized by thousands
of people as the only advertised rem
edy for catarrh that can be relied up
on to do just what it claims. The
complete outfit of Hyomei is mex
pensive and consist of an inhaler, a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo-
mel.
Breathe the air of Hyomei through
the little inhaler druggists furnish
with it for a few minutes four times
a day and it will help the worst case
of catarrh. 1t soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects COM
plete and lasting relief
In Moscow there are scores OF we'll
known people who have been reliev-
ed of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does
not help you r. Hodgins will return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to his faith in this rem
edy. oo-4

Elected for Ensuing year.

The board Of trade met IN Council

Of several years.
The various committees made report
showing progress along all lines, es-
pecially with reference to the cotton

board for the confidence shown by re-
electing him, and told it that he could
accomplish nothing without the hearty,
earnest cooperation of all the business
men and citizens generally OF the town

will no doubt cooperate during the

The entertainment committee lai
provided refreshments, which ,'as
served by Mine Host. j. D. Plyler, of

the board and their guest did full
justice to the Sumptuous spread.

From Lord Roberts to Hugh Scott.

Great Britain has expended III this
war an almost incalculable treasure
She hJ, sacrificed by the hundred
| thousand the lives Of her bravest
and best. She has piled upon the
shoulders of her people colossal war
debt under which they must Stagger
for generations to come. In spite Of
all these dreadful sacrifices she has
of her foes is darker now. than ever.
She does not know whether she is to
emerge alive from this ordeal Of wheth-
er the British Empire is on the verge Of
diSmemberment and dissolution.
Why? The answer is very simple.
These things have happened because in
the years before the war tn popl Of CIR
| eat Britain rejected the advice and wer
| de alto the pleading of Lord Roberts
and the other great yupunnff :oinqffj.
and the other clearSighted men who urg
ed day in and day out that Great Britai
should do as all the other great powers
ahd done and adopt system Of uni
versal service
Had Roberts advice beeen taken
there would probably have been no ar
| flor Grmany would have beeen the hope
lessness Of it. And of the ar had come,
it wowuld never have followed the
course which it has followed. If
| England had had universal service,
such for instance as France had, she
could have thrown million trained
and equipped men across the Channel
in the early days The German drive
could have been stopped before it had
gotten fairly started, for experience
eas proved that on the western front,
where the flankS cannot be turned. ade-
quately manned defensive lines can
be held against every assault. That is
the lesson of Verdun and Of the
Somme.
If a British army of million had
been instantly available at the outset
to assist the superb but outnumbered
army Of France, the Germans would
never have swept clear across Belgium
and deep into Northern France. They
might we'll have been stopped before
they had overrun half of Belgium,
Antwerp would probably have been
saved, the great irUn-bearing lands
of France ould probably not have
fallen into the hands of the enemy,
Germany would now be established
on the Belgian coast as a deadly
menace to England, the Western
Allies would not have to sacrlnce
nearly million brave soldiers in a
vain effort to oust the invader because
they would never be able to carry out
his invacasion.
All these reflections concerning what
might have been had the people OF
Great Britain adopted universal ser
vice before the war came many seen
barren and profltleSS. Perhaps the!
are. But Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, the
American chief of staff and the Amer
, lean soldier whose judgement the peo
ple of this country hold in hiSheS
esteem, has just urged In his annua
: report the adoption Of a system
universal service by the United State
as the only means Of securing an ade
quate national defence. Perhaps i
may help little If oOur people VII
reflect that what Britain has suffere'
and is suffering Is the result Of he
, refusal to do what General Scott l
[ now urging us to do.

GERMANY OFF ERS TO MAKE
PEACE
Her Terms Will Hardly Suit Allies
II Accepted Nations Would Re.
tain Former Possessions.

New York Dec. 13-It was learned
In this country yesterday that Germany
had submitted certain terms Of peace
and while no official account Of these
terms have been received yet, the fol-
lowing, it Is claimed this morning, Is the
substance Of the proposals made to
the Allies by Germany:
For the complete restoration Of
Belgium.
For the evacuation by Germany
Of all territory captured in northern
France during the progress Of the war;
For the establishment Of Poland
and Lithuania as independent king
doms.
For the retention of Serbia by
Austria Hungary, and the restora-
ton to Bulgaria of all territory lost
by that country in the second Bal
kan war.
For the restoration to Austria of
territory captured by Italy in the
neighborhood of the Adriatic sea-.
For the restoration to Germany
Of all her colonial possessions in
Africa, the far east and other parts
of the globe.
For the retention Of CONSTANT
nople by Turkey.
This information was obtained TO-
day from an unquestionable author
ity close to the German embassy.
According 10 embassy lofficia6
who have kept fully advised of the
situation, the terms laid down rep
resent the united power Of all of the
central powers and were drawn up
after full exchanges Of views be-
tween the Teutonic capitals.
1t is stated that no definite in
formation has been received by
these powers which would lead
them to believe that the entente nations
are prepared to accept them, or even
to discuss them. The prime purpose
Of the central powers in putting them
forth at this time 1t was learned from
authorititave sources, it to Smoke
out" the enemy governments and to
acquaint the inhabitants Of Germany,
Turkey and Bulgaria with a Knowl-
edge -fhet. hay H-ara- -as.htinr- Tot,
The time Is regarded as opportune
for three reasons:
First. That the recent victories
Of the central powers in the Balkans
has demonstrated from the Teu-
tonic viewpoint that these powers
cannot be crushed; that the war
might go on for ten years more with
neither side arriving any closer to
a complete victory over the other.
Second. That with the approach
of winter, military operations for
the next three months will be prac-
tically at standstil, with the ma
tions involved in the war compelled
to see about organizing new spring
and summer campaigns.
Third That the upheaval in the
British cabinet due to q popular
mistrust of that governments con-
duct OF the war, may induce the
public of Great Britain and her al
lied nations to realize the hopeless
ness Of carrying the struggle fur
ther.
According to the views expressed
in German embassy quarters there
is very little likelihood that the United
States government will be asked to
take a leading part in bringing
about a conference between represen-
tatives of the warning powers, or
that such q conference would be held
in this country. 1t Is assumed in
these quarters that any conference Of
its kind would be held at Berne,
Switzerland, or at the Hague.
