The New Season and Its Needs; Hires
Root Beer One of Them.

With the return of spring and the near
approach of summer, the thoughts of the
average person, when turning to the re-
quisites for the comfort and enjoyment
of the new season, have come TO include
in the list that great thirst Quencher anu
-pleaser-Hires Rootbeer. In thous-
snds of homes all over the land. Hires
has taken its place as one of the pleasures
and compensations of the long. hot surl-
mer days. And the reason for this de-
pendence is not far to seek.
Hires Rootbeer is. from the very nature
of its composition and preparation. redOl
ent of the woods and fields TO which the
mind at this season naturally turns.
Roots, herbs. barks and berries. fresh
from their natural sources and well
known for their medicinal properties, are
the ingredients of this delightful bever-
age; and so combined are they as TO pro-
duce the most sparkling. foaming. fzzing,
refreshing temperance drink possible to
imagine. Thirst speedily yields to IL; and
such thing lassitude or enervation.
whether due 10 overwork. heat or low
vitality. is unknown where Hires flows
freely.
To the thrifty mother OF the thirsty
household an added reason for the
popularity Of Hires Rootbeer is its econ
omy. A package costing only twentv
five cents makes five gallons of this deli
cious drink-enough to satisfy even lie
urgent demands which are sure to follow
until opportunity permits the preparation
of more. In no other way at many times
the expense. can so much health. com
fort and enjoyment be obtained ~
through a liberal supply in the homes of
Hires Rootbeer.
To avoid the danger n substitution %
inferior preparations sold under the name
of '-rootbeer." a course sometimes re-
sorted 70 by unscrupuious dealers. il -
we'll 10 insist on getting Hires.

His friends viii tel you that when he
went to Chicago. eighteen years ago.
with sixty men chosen by himself 10
form the nucleus of a permanent or
chestra. he cheerfully gave UP large
annual income to accept one of 5000 less
in order that he might have an opportu-
nifty to leave behind him a fitting memo
rial when he died. If you were to seek
and talk with him alone you would under
stand in very little while how cheer
fully he could make sacrifice like this
or much greater one for the sake of his
passion. Thomas. sitting as he was the
other day in the parlor of his beautiful
home, with a costly grand piano at his
side and works of art all about him, fit
ted in well with his surroundings. But
there is something about the man that
makes you feel as You watch him that If
these comforts and luxuries suddenly took
wings and vanished he would lift his eye
brows, exclaim, "Ach. here comes another
of those upside-down happenings. and
then turn to his fiddle and be perfectly
happy.
When Mr. Thomas went to Chicago he
was at the head of the New York and
Brooklyn Philharmonics. conductor of the
Sunday night popular concerts in New
York. and leader of the Cincinnati Festi-
val association, and had besides more Of
fers for festival leadership each month
than he could have filed in year. But
his orchestras were 'scratches" that is
to say. it was impossible for him to work
satisfactorily with any one body of men
for any length of time. He was making
a princely income, but at the expense of
his art. Il could not help realizing the
truth he said. Il was going backward,
not forward
So. when some OF Chicago's leading busi-
ness and professional men now on the
board of trustees of the association sug-
gested to him that he come TO that city
and go into concert with a permanent or
chestra. he eagerly adopted the idea. OF
course. he was then a man with an in

to the opportunity he seized twelve years
ago. his fame has outstripped that Of
other leaders. and he possesses an or

ONLY GUARANTEED CATARRtl
CURE.
Hyome Costs You Nothing If 1t Fails,
Say Leading Druggists.

Among the many medicines upon the
market that claim to cure catarrh, none
but Hyomei has enough faith in its own
merit to be willing to refund the money
if it does not cure.
This remarkable remedy for catarrh
kills the microbes and the germs of the
disease and from it's introduction has
been sold under a positive guarantee to
return the money to all dissatisfied GUS
toners. The leading druggists have sold
thousands of Hyomei outfits in the last
few years. and have had only two GUS
toners ask for return of the money,
which in every instance was promptly
and cheerfully returned. They stand
ready today TO refund the price to any
one who is not helped by Hyomei.
The complete outfit costs s1.00. and
comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei
and a dropper. The inhaler will last a
lifetime and additional bottles of Hyo-
mel can be obtained for 30 cents.
Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes four
times day. and your catarrh will grow
better from the first days use, and will
be completely cured in a short time.
Do not try to cure catarrh with ordin-
airy stomach medicines. Breathe the
healing Hyomei which goes TO every part
of the air passages and respiratory or
gans. killing the catarrh germs and pre-
venting their growth.
1t is the only treatment for catarrh
where you can get your money back from
local dealer in case it does not help.
