LONDON. May 9.—Fresh suffra
gette outrages stirred England to
day. Members of the •‘Young Hot
Blood'' service of the Women's Social
and Political Union burned Oaklea
Mansion, at Barrow, causing a $50,000
loss.
Other members of the union at
tempted to attack Premier and Mrs.
Asquith and First Lord of the Ad
miralty Winston Churchill and Mrs.
Churchill a a they were on their way
* ti f the Victoria Railway station to
day.
Mr. and Mrs. Asquith and Mr. and
Mrs. Churchill were leaving on a
journey to Venice, where they will
embark upon the Admiralty yacht
Enchantress for a cruise through the
Mediterranean for inspection of Brit
ish fortresses and navy depots.

bodyguard of policemen, soldiers and

fragette*.
Mrs. Flora Drummond, or ’‘General'
Drummond, as she is known because
of her Amazonian qualities, w r ho col
lapsed In Bow Street Court yesterday
during the trial of the women arrest
ed in the raid on headquarters of the
Women’s Social and Political Union,
was in a serious condition to-day.
She had refused to eat for a week to
spite the government and her health
has become so badly deranged as a
result that an operation may be nec
essary. She was removed to a nurs
ing home this morning
Love Win* New Ally.
Interesting sidelights on the or
ganization of militants are being
brought out at the trial of the mili
tant leaders. Letters seized by the
police include a number of passionate,
burning love letters from a former
Socialist member of Parliament. The
letters show that he is infatuated
with one of the leaders of the "wild
women" and that he allied himself
with the ‘‘cause" at her command.
Other documents show that the
most dangerous branch of the union
its called the ‘‘Service of Young Hot
Bloods." No one but young unmar
ried women of high courage are ad
mitted. These are some of the ques
tions put to them before they are ad
mitted into this branch of the^ union:
Arc you willing to die a violent
death to-day?

Death Rate Decreased From
174.5 to 139.7 Per 100,000
Population in Last Decade.
WASHINGTON, May 9. That the
death rate in the United States from
tuberculosis during the decade end
ing in 1910 has diminished from 174.5
per 100.000 of population to 139.7 was
the # statement made here by Dr.
Frederick la. Hoffman of Newark, in
an address before the sociological
section of the National association
for tne study and prevention of tu
berculosis.
"In other words," said Dr. Hoff
man. "nearly 200,000 lives were saved
from 1909 to 1910, in the campaign
against this disease."
Dr. Hoffman stated that the death
rate in New* York City, 289.1 in 1881,
had declined to 180.1 in 1912. He
made no mention *of any 5*o-cal1ed
"cures."
Surgeon B. S. Warren, of the U. S.

4hat deaths of government employees
from tuberculosis were much lower
than that of other laborers in similar
occupations, because of the superior
sanitary conditions.”
"About 50,000 new cases of tuber
culosis are constantly drifting about
the country for long periods without
even consulting phyHcianjs," was the
statement by Dr Harry Lee Barnes,
superintendent of the Rhode Island

LONDON. May 9.—Interesting
trials in King Edward's character are
revealed in the book. “What I Know,”
by C. W. Stamper, private automobile
expert to the late monarch. It says:
‘ The King liked speedy traveling, but
insisted on careful driving through
towns and villages. His walk was
never leisurely. He was in and out of
a motor car or a train in a moment.
“He spoke rapidly, ate very fast and
smoked hard. Speed was the essence
of his nature.”
The King’s* chauffeur always was
instructed by the equerry to observe
the legal speed limit, but if the King
complained, he was to increase the
speed temporarily and gradually to
slacken it again.

Among Saturday’s Specials
Nature has a remedy for catarrh
and troubles of the breathing organs,
a rreatmenl that is far better than
dosing the stomach with medicine.
It is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicate the air
you breathe, reaching the most re
mote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, killing the catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the musous
membrane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the na
tural remedy, for it gives a curative
bath to the »ir passages. It has a
powerful healing and antiseptic ef
fect similar to the air in the moun
tains where the forests give off the
fragrant and healing balsams.
Hyomei has benefited so many suf
ferers of the worst cases of catarrh,
with offensive breath, raising of mu
cous. frequent sneezing, droppings in
i he ifiroat ami spasmodic coughing
that it is sold under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not do all that is claimed for it. If
Hie treatment does not help you,
there will not be a penny’s expense,
while if it cures the cost is nominal.
A complete Hyomei Outfit sells for
only $1.00. Kxtra bottles of liquid
if later needed 60 cents.
