ENTERTAINs 100 WIDOWS.
Eighty-second birthday I'm
Unique Way.

Alfred A. Hewlett, banker, contrac-
tor and merchant, of Syracuse, N. Y,
celebrated his eighty-second birthday
the other day by entertaining at his
home about 100 widows.
Mr. Hewlett stood in the parlor and
shook hands with each of the girls"
as he called them, as they entered. The
guests wrote their names in his birth
day book, but he did not ask them to
write their ages, because" he said,
''I don't believe in encouraging lying"
Mr.. Hewlett had invited so from SYRIA
cuse and 81 from out of town. Among
those from other cities who were in
vited were: Mrs. Louise Payne, Mrs.
/. l.. Merriam, Mrs. Ethel Craig. Mrs
John NJ. Jaycox, Mrs. Ellen Merriam
and Mrs. Walter Wales, of New York;
Mrs. A. r. Woodruff, of Nutley, N. j.,
and Mrs. Moses Dolby, of Atlantic
Highlands.
True to his promise, Mr.. Hewlett ex-
eluded every man from the place. He
did not count, however, upon the wiles
of his grandson, Marshall Durston,
who, dressed up as widow, secured
entrance to the house. He was intro
duced to Mr.. Hewlett as Mrs. Balm, of
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hewlett did not remember of
having met her before, and paid little
attention TO her. but was too polite to
object to her presence.
Young Durston wore black dress,
Persian lamb jacket and widows
weeds. Black glasses made the decep-
ton complete. Durston remained for
some time, when Mr.. Hewlett was told,
He enjoyed the joke.

sic, a woman took care of the furnace,

And many other aches TO which women
are peculiarly subject are generally the
result of a diseased condition OF the
wouianly organism. When this dis.
eased condition is cured, sideache, back
ache, headache, etc, are cured also.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals inhamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness. When these diseases are cured
the aches they cause are also cured.

PREVALENCE OF CATARRH
Growing Use Of HyOmei Will Soon Show q
Decrease Of this Disease,

Statistics show that at least 07 out
of every 100 persons in this State are
suffering from catarrh in some form.
While the disease is one of the most
common with which the medical pro-
fession has to contend, it also is one
of the most dangerous. This is owing
to its tendency to affect the bronchial
tubes, causing consumption and other
diseases of the respiratory organs.
The discovery of Hyomei and its in
creased use has already reduced the
percentage of persons suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is
the simplest and most pleasant of all
treatments. Just put a little Hyomei
in the pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, breathe through the in
haler for ten minutes four times a
day. Relief will be seen from the
first treatment; cure will soon follow.
1t is the true treatment for diseases
of the respiratory organs.
Scientific and medical men recon-
mend it. Leading druggists have so
much faith in it that they guarantee
a cure or they will refund the money.
In this city Feldmeyer Brothers are
selling it upon that plan, SO that any
of our readers can use Hyomei with
out its costing them cent unless 1T
cures. Can there be fairer way!
