NEW CASES OF TYPHOID
APPEARING AT BUTLER

Butler. Pa, Dee. 1.-OYe death and
nu;abcg' of new cases OF typhoid fe-
yer are reported. The work of relief
for the fever sufferers has been thor
oughly organized. and needy cases are
being attended TO as facilities permit
Seventeen nurses have arrived from
Pittsburga and Rochester and others are
on their way from oil City and other
points.
The number of cases needing relief
exceed the supply of nurses and at
tendants twenty to one. Four of the To-
cal physicians are sick and the others
say it is impossible to attend to all
calls and that more doctors are needed
Immediately. Contributions of money

be brought to the notice of investors.
Attention win also be paid to the de-
velopment of the minor mineral re-
sources of Mississippi, among which
may be included glass sand, molding
sands, ignite, red and yellow ochres,
and fuller's earth, all of which are
known to occur in commercial guam
titles.
Metallic ores are not found in de-
posits of sufficient size or quality for
mining anywhere in the state, and
coal is also lacking, but the active de-
yelopment of the cement, clay, and
other resources named above would
add greatly to the wealth of the com
munity. The need for such an exam
ination and report on the mineral
wealth of the state has long been APP
preciated by its citizens, but the
preparation of an exhibit for the ST.
Louis exposition has rendered it alb
solutely imperative that prelimi-
nary examination should be made at
once

Investigating the Mineral Wealth OF
Mississippi.

Under an agreement recently made
between the United States geological
survey and r. II. Henry, Mississippi
commissioner for the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition, Investigations of the
economic geology of that state are
now being carried ON by United
States geologists. 1t is known that
large and valuable clay deposits and
extensive beds of Portland cement
ma :erials occur in Mississippi, but un-
til recently no attempt has been made
to procure such detailed information
regarding tile quality and quantity of
these materials as is necessary be-
fore the deposits can be developed.
The present cooperative investigation

WHAT IS CATARRH?
HyOmeI Cures This Common and Disagree
able Disease.

HyOmeI Cures This Common and Disagree
able Disease.
Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, en-
tiers the blood with the oxygen and
kills the germs present there, effectu-
ally driving this disease from the sys-
tenn.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and comprises an inhaler, a
bottle of Hyomei and a drOpper. The
inhaler will last a lifetime; and addi-
tional bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for soc.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs:
Offensive breath, dryness of the
nose, pain across the eyes, pain in
back of the head, pain in front of the
head, tendency to take cold, burning
pain in the throat, hawking to clear
the throat, pain in the chest, cough,
stitch in side, losing of flesh. variable
appetite, low spirited at times, rails
ing of frothy mucous, expectorating
yellow matter, difficulty in breathing,
frequent sneezing, huskiness of voice.
discharge from the nose, stoppage of
the nose at night, aching of the body,
droppings in the throat, mouth open
while sleeping, tickling back of the
palate, formation of crusts in the
nose. dryness of the throat in the
morning, loss of strength, spasms of
coughing, cough short and hacking,
cough worse nights and mornings,
loss in vital force, a feeling of tight
ness across the. upper part of the
chest
Hyomei viii destroy activity of all
catarrhal germs in the respiratory or
gans. and in a few weeks the cure will
be complete.
This is a strong statement, but T.
II. Thomas emphasizes it by agreeing
to refund your money if Hyomei does
not cure.

According TO the Kansas City Jour

vorced within single day. II re-

Our Expanding Language.

When Isaac Pittman, the inventor
of phonetic shorthand, predicted 50
years ago that English was destined
to be the universal language. he was
laughed at His prediction is no
longer laughable.
English is now spoken by about
125,00O,O00 people. \ century ago it
was spoken by 2O,OOO.OOO people only.
During that period no other leading
European language has made the
slightest advance. German has held
its own and is spoken now by sO.OOO.-
900 people, but this is no higher per-
centage of the total number of peO-
pie of European stocks than it had a
century ago.
Abraham Lincoln foresaw 100000
900 English-speaking people in the
United States alone. and later proph-
cts have described it as the home of
30O,0O0,000 when the 21st century
dawns. As the learning of English is
compulsory in India. 300,000,00O more
people are being annexed to the Eng
disappearing world.
The leading languages of continen-
tai Europe at the beginning of the
last century. French. German and
Spanish. while declining or stationary
in Europe itself, are making gains on
other continents. There are only 49,
100000 Spaniards in Spain. but 5.00O.
600 Americans talk Spanish Some
20,000,000 people speak German out
side of Germany, and twice as many
people talk Portuguese in Brazil as
there are in Portugal itself. while
French is the language of 14,OO0. 900

Dear Sir: There are several
ways of cheating in milk. An
old fashioned way is to water
it. Nobody waters lit now. A
better way is to take out the
cream-rich milk with the cream
all taken out is as good as poor
milk with it's cream all in.
But we needn't go into par.
ticulars.
You don't rob your milk and
your customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to
cheat with. Good paint is as
rare as good milk; for human
nature is much the same in milk
men and paint men.
You are just and true with
your milk; so are we with our
paint. Devoe Ready Paint is
twice as good as pure white lead:
lasts twice as long. There's
twice as much butter in it.
Yours truly,
