Disorder and perplexity and all the
gods of disorder and chaoa rule supreme
In the city council. Tha city charter
and the state constitution, the referee
duiu and the emergency clause act have
involved the city in sucn a maze or am
biguity and conflicting Interpretation!
of the law that no one.' not even a
lawver ran tell lust what Is the law.
The council this morning stumbled up
against the connicting rulings or me
charter with those of tne state when an
ordinance to Improve Wilson street waa
Introduced. An emergency clause was
attached, but under the strict definition
of an emereencv none really existed.
City Attorney Kavanaugh advised, how
ever, that tne minings or tne council on
this question would not he considered
by the courts, and that It was proper
for it to declare an emergency without
stating what the emergency might be.
"Oo Ahead, Anyhow."
Councilman Kellaher wanted the coun
cil to disregard the emergency clause
and go ahead with the passage of the
ordinance. He accused the city attor
ney of trying to block proceedings.
"Mr. Kenaner aoesn t Know wnat ne
s talking about, hotly Interrupted Mr.
Kavanaugh. "I don't want to retard
legislation, but the facts are these: the
charter provides that all improvement
ordinances must De approved oy tne
mayor within 10 days after passage
and be forwarded immediately to the
executive board,, which must than ad
vertise for bids. Now, unless an envr-
srency clause Is attached to such ordi
nances they do not become effective un
til 30 ditvs after passage and the ex-
ecutlv board would therefore have no
right to advertise for bias until met ex
piration of that time. On tha other
hand, the charter says the executive
board must advertise for bid immedi
ately on receipt of an ordinance of this
kind from the mayor.

"ITnwever 1 iri nrenarinar a remedy
for this condition and at the next coun
cil meeting I will, have an ordinance
drafted which will in a measure over
come this perplexing confllctlon."

labyrinth of confusion In which it has
been floundering when an ordinance was
introduced to enable the city to get rid
of a crippled patrol, horse. .

Say to your druggist "I want HyomeiM
(Hign-o-me), and you will have started the
only sensible method to cure Catarrh.
When the catarrh victim begins to use common sense
he quickly loses his catarrh.
'. Saturating the stomach with vile drugs and obnoxious
nostrums never cured catarrh. They don't reach the
spot Sprays and douches and the like may give tem
porary relief, but they never cure. They don't reach
the spot.
" In order to cure catarrh, you must reach the affect
ed part, and you must reach it with something that
will pass over the enure afflicted membrane, and
as it passes over the -inflamed and germ-ridden
membrane, will kul every catarrh germ along the
route. -;t " . .. '.
You can't one' catarrh without killing the ca
tarrh germs, and you can't kill the germs unless
you can get the kiDer where the germs are. ,
Hyomei is a killer of catarrh germs because
when you breathe it in, its antiseptic and germicide
properties leach every nook and crevice- of the
mucous membrane, from the mouth and nose deep
into the cells of the lungs. '
.. Hyomei brings the Australian forests of pine
and eucalyptus to your home.' It is made of the
active principles extracted from these trees. ;
No one who lives in or near these forests suffer
f roqj catarrh. - No one who breathes in Hyomei,
the real forest air of Australia, will have catarrh
tor long alter the treatment starts.
If you want to cure catarrh, croup," bronchitis, coughs,
colds, asthma, hay fever, or any inflammatory condition
of the nose, throat or chest, try Hyomei (pronounced
High-o-me), the common-sense cure. The cure that
reaches the spot
"1 suffered from chronic catarrh for years, I became
almost discouraged. Two bottles of Hyomei produced
a complete cure. I recommend it to catarrh sufferers."
