Pane When one of the most reputable concerns In Granta Pass guarantees that a medicine will produce benefit .or He will refund the money, It speaks volumos for the merits of that remedy. It Is In this way that C. H. Detfinray Is selling Hyomel, the treat ment that has helped so many cases of both acute and chronic catarrh in uranis rass ana vicinity, Hyomel Is not a pill nor Is It a spray or lotion that must be rubbed In. It Is an oil, the air of which you Just breathe in your nose,, throat and lungs by the aid of an Inhaler that comes with every outfit. Benefit will usually be seen from the very first treatment. 1 The air destroys all germ life In the air passages and lungs and en riches and purities tbe blood with the additional oione it supplies. It ban ishes catarrh of the head and throat and resperatory organs wherever these mucous menvbranea contain catarrh gorms, there Hyomel will do Its fork of healing.

An Indica tion that Germany douMs her ability to Impose in Indemnity upon the en rtento allies In the event of peace Is contained In Berlin reports that new war taxes aro proposed.: . Hitherto Germany has paid Its war expenses on borrowed money. Finance Minister Holffrlch stated last August that there would le no levy of taxes, because the Indemnify Oormany would demand from con quered territory would bo sufficient to mecj all her expenses. This state ment, five days later, caused British Foreign Secretary Grey to make bis now famous remnrk, that so long as Germany Is fighting for "supremacy and tribute the war must go on." Introduction of the tax bill In Ger many Indicates that a pressing ne cessity has arisen. Retirement from Helfrlch'a original promise that the war would bo conducted on Indem nity has caused much depression. To the frightful cost to Germany's young manhood and economics sacri fice, the burden ot taxes will be add ed. This may become the final straw which will break Gorman militarism.

As a sequel to settlement of the Grecian diplomatic crisis the allies are landing further forces at Salonlkl, according to re ports today, in the assurance that they will not be molested. Exports here believe, however, that the allies do not intend to at tempt an extensive sweep in Serbia, instead, it is thought, they will swing northeast from Uskub in south central Serbia, to Sofia. Communications with Constanti nople can be cut there as readily as anywhere, and in achieving this aim the allies would have the advantage ot striking afthe vitals ot Bulgaria.
