REMEDY
FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and
Be Relieved.

If a few years ago some one had said you
could treat catarrh by breathing air charged
with healing balsam, the idea would have
been rdicucd and it remained for that emf
nent investigator. r. 7. Booth, to discover in
Hyomei this wonderful method of treatment.
Hyomei has performed almost miraculous
results in treating catarrh and is today recog-
nized by thousands of people as the only adver-
tised remedy for catarrh that can be relied up
to do just what it claims The complete
outfit of Hyomei is inexpensive and consists
of an inhaler, medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyome
Breathe the air of Hyomei through the little
inhaler druggists furnish with it for few
minutes four times day and it will help the
worst case of catarrh. 1t soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the air passages, prevent
irritation, and effects complete and lasting re-
lief
In Belfast there are scores of we'll known
people who have been relieved of catarrh by
Hyomei. If it does not help you A. A Howes
& Co., will return the money you paid for Hyo-
mel. This is the strongest evidence that can
be offered as to their faith in this remedy.

Bishop Says Germans Blame Kaiser
for Not Fighting Sooner.

A commanding figure Of interest
at the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, in ses-
sion at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, is
Bishop John Nuelsen, who supervises
Methodist work in European nations,
speaking 6 languages and ruled over
by three emperors, five kings and two
presidents, sys dispatch to the
Philadelphia Ledger. Bishop Nuel-
sen has visited every war front and
gives amazing testimony of the mis-
cry of the men in the field. In an in
terview he said:
''The war must continue many
years, unless the unexpected hap
pens. Germany has completely con-
served her energies. In peace times
she raises 80 per cent. of all her
food, and now the parks are turned
into gardens. The surgeons have
done great work, and 80 per cent. of
the wounded recover. Economy is
Systematically enforced. Prince and
pauper receive the same amount of
bread, butter and milk daily When
the husband goes to war his wife
takes up his work and receives his
wages"
"Why did the Germans go into this
war;" the bishop was asked. ''The
people blame the emperor for not
fighting sooner, since they believe
that the other powers were jealous
of their prosperity and had de-
termined to crush them.
s'The war has brought all the Eu-
ropean nations to their knees. 1t
has driven formal religion down into
the heart and developed vital per-
sonal piety never before known. AT
the first sweep of the war there was
a religious revival, but that was
shallow. The latter awakening Is
very deep and permanent. They see
now that in the pursuit of prosperity
they forgot God. This ought to be
warning to America"

RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.
Story of Jewel-Studded Snuff Box
Presented by Louis XVI, of France.

In Backward Glances," printed in
the News and Courier recently there
was a reference to the rafting off in
Baltimore of the diamond-crested
snuff box presented to Col. John Lau-
rens, of this State, by Louis XVI, OF
France. This reference was taken
from the Charleston Courier of May
10, 1866. The Courier of the day
before, that is of May 1S, 1866, print
ed a full and interesting story of the
presentation of this snuff box to Col.
Laurens by the king of France. AS
the details of this incident in South
Carolina are probably not familiar
to most South Carolinians of this
generation the Sunday News reprints
below the Courier's story. The Sun
day News is not informed as to the
final disposition of the snuff box.
Probably this is known in Charles
ton, but the only information avail
able at the moment is that contained
in Prof. Wallace's admirable Life
of Henry Laurens." In this book, in
the sketch of Lieut.. Col. John Lau-
rens, Prof. Wallace says:
tsThe king gave Laurens on the
completion of his mission gold snuff
box ornamented with the royal por-
trait and set with brilliants (not dia-
monds, as commonly stately Years
afterwards the member of the family
to whom it had fallen was forced to
sell it. It was bought by an enthusi-
astic admirer of Laurens who outbid
all others with the intention, she
said, of restoring it to it's owner
which, however, she omitted to do.'
The story from the Courier fol-
lows:

hour for my revenge was near. Yes
terday, 1 went to the Russians and
offered to lead them to your posi-
ton. At first they mistreated me,
but they became convinced that I was
honest, when I demanded a large
amount of money for my service.
Two regiments with small cannon
and machine guns were ready for the
attack upon you and at midnight this
force started to move over the ice.
1 led the regiments where I wanted
them. When the ice began to break
l disappeared into the rushes. They
sent a few bullets after me, but only
one of them grazed me. Just listen!
Do you hear the dying wretches
shouting over there?'
eel heard the shouts and what l
saw through the rushes in the faint
light Of the morning almost froze the
blood in my veins. Of the seven
thousand Russians who had started
out to attack us about four thousand
had already been swallowed up by
the swamp and the remainder was
struggling for breath.

sent him behind the front. He IS
now in an insane asylum. The terri
