Paris Feb. 5.--The time has come
again for the allies to lock AROUND
and see how they stand. Three vital
points in the present problem are:
What about the trench war;
What about the war of attrition.
what Ia the diplomatic situation?
The trench war seems stationary.
bu; the people must not be deceived.
on both sides tremendous prerara-

battle, which cannot b long delayed

The Teutons are daily trying to

doubtful whether they possess the
strength 10 carry through huge at

il one factor In their favor--they have

This artillery cannot only prepare a
great attack. but il is daily killing al

HERE'S NATURES OWN
REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Hyomei Relieves Catanh Without the Use
Of Dangerous Drugs.

Not until Hyomel was discovered has
it been possible to truthfully say that
. real remedy for catarrh was known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is breath
ed through small inhaler furnished
with it for few minutes four time a
day, and during that time every
particle of this Hyomei laden air taken
into the air passages and lungs is i'm
pregneted with powerful germ killing
and health-giyen antiseptic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders of the respiratory tracts or bring
on some other diseases and never make
a permanent cure of catsrrh. But
when the air of Hyomei penetrates to
the inmost 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 bacilli in the blood,
freeing the mucous membranes from
poisonous microbes and giving perfect
health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler. dropper and suf-
ficient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
X. 4. MeRoberts has so much faith
in the merit Of Hyomei that he agree
to return the money to any purchaser
who is not thoroughly satisfied. l.27.2t

SCHOOL NOTES.

A six-year old boy wrote his first

Many young people in school fail to
accomplish average results because OF
q sheer lack of energy. They either dc
not have it or else fail to apply it in
their studies. The school cannot do a
great deal for the indolent, frivolous
pupit. Unless they mend their ways
and face about they are foreordained
to failure in life as well as in studies.
There Is another class filled with
energy and enthusiasm who obtain
meager results because of misdirected
energy; not knowing how to turn this
energy to good account they waste it;
not obtaining the best results from
their efforts they worry and thereby
lose the pleasure that should come from
mental effort. They have not mastered
the art of study.
While there are no ready-made recip-
rs for successful study no formulas for
mechanical application, some we'll
known principles may be of help.
First, the great principle of Concen-
tration is indispensable to anv sort of
successful study. Nobody but genius
can learn lesson and at the same time
do d lot of other things. He simply
cannot master lesson and entertain
company at the same time. An hour
of mental concentration is better than
a whole day of mental sauntering".
Neither is study social active; it
admits of no division Of interest; talk
ing and study do not go together. A
loquacious roommate is an expensive
nuisance. Two pupils cannot study to-
gether to much advantage; one will do
the thinking the other the absorbing.
Study is pre-eminently an individual
affair; two studying together" is
plausible method of wasting time.
Let us in the next place notice one
or two external conditions influencing
the pupil in his study. Quiet surround
ings are a necessary condition to a
pupil who has not acquired the habit OF
close concentration and reflection. All
distractions should be reduced to a
minimum. The family living room"
sometimes offers an unfavorable envi-
ronment. No pains should be spared to
secure fayorably conditions as to TEN.
perature. light and ventilation of the
room. The body should be made com
Portable SO as to favor right mental
attitude toward the work in hand. In
the case of study by night. it is very
important that the light be of adequate
power and properly placed. allowing
the rays to pour over the readers
shoulder il possible, if not. the light
should be properly shaded. By day an
open window affords the worst possible
place to study. inducing mind wander
ing and inviting sure defeat.

. LIBRARY AND PARKS.-"An act
to consolidate in the government of
the city of Chicago the powers and
functions nOW'Vested in local govern
ments and authorities within the ter
ritOry Of said city and to make pro-
visions concerning the same"
The above, which will appear on
the little ballot Nov. Z is of the ut
most Importance to every citizen in
Chicago. If it is passed, control of
all parks, the city library and the
Bridewen will be placed in the hands
of a board appointed by the mayor.
This not only involves the control of
millions of dollars, but the jobs of
some 5000 or 1000 park employees
are at stake. If the act is approved
by the voters all examination eligible
lists will become null and void and
the parks will be thrown open to the
same brand of spoils politics now pre-
vailing in the City Hall.
The employees of the public library
and the Bridewel are perhaps better
protected, as they are already under
city civil service and will remain so.
But a great injustice would be done
the library employees through the
merging of their pension fund with
other pension funds that lack the
stability of the library pension fund,
won by years of sacrifice and care
full supervision unmolested by poll
tics
The public library property belongs
under the control of the board of ed
ucation because it is a great educa-
tional institution. The consolidation
act considers it a mere place Of rec
reation or pleasure by placing it I'M
der the same control as the public
parks and Fairgrounds.
1 urge every reader of The Day
Book to vote on this act when they |
