"When you throw it behind you,
what does it do?'

Tuesday / bent the kitchen poker

of this remarkable weapon
"What for?''
''Partly for tle sake Of develop.
ing scientific truth, partly for the
purpose of killing ducks. If l
want to kill a duck with boom
erang what do I do? I walk away
from him. I go off in the opposite
direction. This lulls suspicion in
the ducks mind. Suddenly take
careful aim, say at Jones man who
is chopping wood in the next yard.
l let fly, and the first thing you
know is that the boomerang has
gone whooping over my shoulder
and killed the duck-dead- dead
dead as Julius Caesar, it's one of
the most beautiful sights in the
world.'
Did you ever kill one that

"Well, that is just the point. No,

to Mrs. Metcalf, and tried again.
This time 1 aimed right at the
kitchen window, intending to hit
the bird cage behind me. The
boomerang must have got twisted
somehow, for the scientific prin

and she went bang through the
kitchen window again.
Did it strike Mrs Metcalf?'

But I explained and bent the poker
back to the proper angle. Then |

She turned over, flew behind me,

"In the hospital. She is having

soon as she comes out. 1t is hard
to suffer for semitic truth.'
"But have you managed to hit
any ducks YETI"
"Ill tell you. l caught a duck
and tied it down to a gosseberry
bush. L projected the boomerang
at that duck two hundred and

CURES CATARRH.
i'Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for Ca
tarrh Ever Discovered" Says
Dawson Drug Co.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach: it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through a direct applica-
tion that will kill the bacilli of catarrh
and prevent its growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accOmplishes this. 1t
Is the simplest, most pleasant and the
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
eyer been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians,
have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei TO
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, consisting of an inhaler, drop.
per and sufficient Hyomei to last sew
eral weeks This will effect a cure in
ordinary cases, bus for chronic and
deep.seated cases of catarrh longer use
may be necessary, and then extra bot
ties of Hyomei may be obtained for sc
cents IL is not alone the best lit
might be called the only method OF
curing catarrh, but it is also the most
economical.
The Dawson Drug Co. have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
| cure catarrh that they will, for linn
tied time, sell this medicine under
their personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchasers can say that
1t did not help them.
