MONEY BACK IF YOU WANT IT.
Liberal Way in Which Malt Breakfast
Food is Sold.

The grocer who says to his customer:
IF you do not like it, don't pay for it,
certainly inspires confidence in the
quality of his goods. There is only one
breakfast cereal, Malt Breakfast Food,
he is willing to sell in this way.
This is not "ready-to eat" fad; it is
Just an honest food, sold under a name
that describes it. and is not offered as
a cure for paresis, but simply as the
most delicious and nourishing of all
breakfast cereals. Cooked in your own
home. it comes to the table the way a
breakfast ought to come-hot and ap-
petizing.
When any of your friends complain
of headache or stomach trouble, ask
what they have for breakfast. The
chances are ten to one that the answer
will be one of the ''ready-to-eat' c.
reals. 1t is contrary to nature to start
the day by putting handful of cold
chips into the stomach. A warm
breakfast is needed, and nothing else
is so good as Malt Breakfast Food.
Tell your grocer that you want a
package of Malt Breakfast Food and
that you have the promise of the pro-
prietors to pay him for it in case it
does not please you. If it was not the
favorite cereal with those who know
what good living is, such as the guests
of the Waldorf Astoria, the Touraine,
and other first-class hotels, they could
not afford to make this offer.

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T.
A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four
lines Day Cures Catarrh.


The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breathe it for a few min
utes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way for treating catarrh will effect
cure, but the most important discov-
cries of science have always been the
simplest BY breathing Hyomei in this
way every particle of air that enters
the air passages of the throat and head
and goes into the lungs, is charged with
a healing balsam that kills the germs
and bacilli of catarrh and soothes and
allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. Its action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs $1.00 and if after
using you can say that it has not
helped you Percy w. Means and Bow
ditch & Webster will return your
money. What other treatment for ca
tarrh is sold under a guarantee like

STATE HOUSE.
What it Costs to Suppress Con-
tagion in Animals.
During q Years the State Has Appro-
priated Sum Of Sl25,882,23.
New Board of Examiners of EmbaIm-
ers Organized Yesterday.

For many years the State of Maine
provided by law rules and regulations
looking to the prevention and suppress
sion of contagious diseases in cattle.
The revised statutes of 1883 has a
series of provisions covering the sub
ject. 1t is there stipulated that 1.-The
municipal officers of towns shall cause
all cattle therein affected with lung
mufrain or pleuro-pnuemonia, or any
other contagious disease, or which have
been exposed to infection, to be Sc
cured or collected in some suitable
place or places therein, and kept iso-
lated; and when taken from the pos
session of their owners, one-fifth of the
expense thereof shall be paid by the
town. and four-fifths by the State, such
isolation to continue SO long as the ex-
istence of such disease or other cir
cumstances render it necessary; or
they may direct the owners thereof to
isolate such cattle, swine and sheep,
upon their own premises, and any dam
age or loss sustained thereby shall be
paid as aforesaid"
The statutes also provided that the
Governor may, when he deems it ex-
all necessary regulations and to issue
summary orders for the treatment or
eXterpation of any contagious disease
among cattle. and may direct the mu-
nicipal officers to enforce and carry
them into effect.
For many years the secretary of the
State board of agriculture had charge
of the work. but in 1887 a law was
passed creating a board of cattle COM
missioners. consisting of three MEM
bers. Since that time a great deal of
work has been done in the way of pre-
venting and subduing outbreaks of con-
tagious diseases among domestic ami
mals. The public laws of subsequent
years included horses sheep and swine
as we'll as cattle, as coming under the
jurisdiction and control of the cattle
commissioners.
Prior to 1884 the State was not called
upon to expend any great amount Of
money for the suppression of contagious
disease. but in that year a distemper
broke out which cost nearly $4,000 to
suppress. In fact the exact figures

An examination of the annual reports

Along both sides of the broad avenue,
which was opened, last year, from Win

planted shade trees, eyerygreens and
owering shrubs, alternately. At the
left. as one enters from Winthrop
street is a great bed of shrubbery,
which. when full grown, will make q
vertiable bower of beauty
Just where the avenue sweeps to the
west at the foot of the terrace is a
large Gamma bed, with Ricinus in the
center surrounded by Cannas and the
great broad-leafed Calcium, or Escal-
alum lilies, as they are called, around
the border.
Up the hillside are a couple of score

ance. coupled with the heat, has worked
serious injury to the farmers. Follow
ing this came the extremely low range
of temperature, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. the mercury in some part of
Maine dropping far below the freez-

crops which had broken ground, and
especially to fruit blossoms and trees
Returns received from nearly every
section of the State tell of widespread
devastation by frost, the sore need of
rain and threatened loss of the hay
crop. The strawberry crop is ruined in
many sections and the promise of a
good apple crop already destroyed.
Corning just when the trees were in full
bloom the damage by frost is heaviest
and orchards all over the State suffer
