FIGHT FOR A NOMINATION
A Chicago Alderman Demonstrates
With the Gloves His Right
to Another Term.

Chicago, Dec. 13-Alderman Edward r.
Litzinger of the fifth ward fought Will
liam Keorke, president of the West End
Fifth Ward Republican club, four rounds
at Blockringers hall last night. Incl
dentally, Mr.. LitZinger was Endorsed by
the club as a candidate to succeed himself
as alderman at the election next spring.
The bout was fought according to Mar
quis Of Queensbury rules, and four-ounce
gloves were used. Timekeepers, referees
and rubbers- down were, on hand, and the
three minute rounds were tabled off with
all the punctuality Of a Jeffries- F1tzsim
mons fight. The go was finally stopped
by Goerke's friends, "out of sympathy for
Mr.. Goerke.'' After the affair was over
the president of the club arose in his
corner.
IF there is anybody in this hall who
doesn't think Mr.. Litzinger is entitled to
re- election next spring at our hands, he
said, IT want him to take my word for it.
This bout was friendly al fright, but
got enough uppercuts and swings that I
never heard of before to show me that
our alderman. If anyone doubts my word
In this matter, let him step into the ring
and I think Mr. Litzinger can satisfy him
the same as he did me-"
About 800 members and guests of the
club were at the ringside. It was the
regular monthly meeting of the organ
ization, and, besides the friendly bout be-
tween Mr.. Goerke and the alderman,
there was lot of inspiriting oratory, re-
freshments and band. t.

JUST BREATHE IT
Pleasant Way to Cure acknowledgements
Stomach Dragging Avoided
by Using Hyomei.

One of the advantages of treating ca
tarrll by Hyomei the famous breathing
treatment for this disease, is the fact that
q noticeable improvement is seen in the
first days use. 1t is the only natural and
rational way to cure catarrh.
This disease cannot be cured by the use
Of pills, tablets, liquid medicines and So
called system toncs. Under such treat
ment the germs Of catarrh will live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei cures catarrh by new principle,
by breathing balsamic air. 1t is not
alone the only positive cure ever dscov-
cred for this disease, but it is also the
pleasantest method Of treatment.
The outfit consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the purse or vest pocket
a medicine dropper and a bottle Of Hyo-
mel, the total cost being $1.O0. The in.
haler will last a lifetime, while there is
enough Hyomei for more than a months
! use. Simply drop little of the HyOme
into the inhaler and breathe through il
for few minutes, four or five times
day The air filled with the balsamit
healing of Hyomei enters the air passage
of the lungs, killing the disease germs
fecting a permanent cure.
If Hyomei should chance to fail in you
case. ask your druggist to return you
money and he will do so without question
What other treatment for catarrh or ca
tarrhal colds was ever sold before on tlli
mo Cure, No Pay" plan?
