NEWS IN BRIEF
Guards Save English Premier
From Injury by "Young Hot
Blood” Militants.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 9.—Fresh Buftre-
Kette outrages stirred England to
day. Members of the "Young Hot
3lood” 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 as they were on their way
to 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 I
Enchantress for a cruise through the
Mediterranean for inspection of Brit
ish fortresses and navy depots.
Saved by Their Guards.
Only the fact that they had a heavy
bodyguard of policemen, soldiers and
f irlvate detectives saved them from
njury at the hands of militant suf
fragettes.
Mrs. Flora Drummond, or '‘General'’
Drummond, as she is known because
of her Amazonian qualities, who 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 Unio i,
was In a serious condition to-day.
She had refused to eat for a week to
*pite 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 Wins 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
polic e include a number of passionate,
burning love letters from a former
Socialist member of Parliament. The I
letters show that he is Infatuated
with one of the leaders of the "wild 1
women" and that he allied himself;
with the "cause” at her command. ;
Other documents show that the;
most dangerous branch of the union
is called the "Service of Young Hot
Bloods." No one but young unmar
ried women of high courage are ad
mitted. These arc some of the ques
tions put to them before they are ad
mitted into this branch of the union:
Are you willing to die a violent
death to-day?
Are you afraid of dynamite or
any otner High explosive?
Will you swear to Hunger strike
if sent to jail?
Will you renounce the softer
characteristics of womankind in
favor of a great principle?
Are you healthy and strong and
able to Hold your own against a
eingle policeman?
The arsonettes and the members of
the dynamite squad are recruited
from the "Y. H. B.” service.

"He spoke rapidly, ate very fast and
smoked hard. Speed was the essence
of his nature.”

speed temporarily and gradually to
slacken it again.

Better Than
Medicine
Breathe Hyomei and Be Rid of
Catarrh—Cleears Stopped-Up
Head .
Nature has a remedy for catarrh
and troubles of the breathing organs,
a treatment that is far better than
dosing tbe stomach with medicine.
It is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicate the air
you breathe, reaching the most re
mote air ceils 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 air passages. It has a
powerful healing and antiseptic ef
feet 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
the throat and 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
the 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. Extra bottles of liquid
if later needed 50 cents.
Druggists everywhere.
