The school committee held a special ses-
sion in the town building last evening
The object OF the meeting was to dis
css the advisabiity OF turning tho whole
building on Liberty street into one school,
as 1t Is now used for the high and gram
mar schools, but II Is thought that by
taking down the partitions that separate
the main room from the recitation rooms,
In the high schools and placing seats
therein thst there will be plenty OF room
for the grammar school scholars. The
lower part OF the building. which is used
as the grammar school could then be
used as recitation rooms. There are three
rooms In the grammar school at the pres
ent time. The committee were OF the
opinion that under this method the entire
building would be brought under the
management OF one principal, the head OF
the high school. IL was deemed unwise
TO act In this matter at the present time,
owing TO the financial condition. The mat
ter will probably be considered at n later
meeting OF the committee. II was also de-
cided 10 lengthen tho high school vacation

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
After Trying other Treatments HyOme
Was Used with Perfect Success'

After Trying other Treatments HyOmeI
Was Used with Perfect Success
Prior to the discovery of Hyonfei,
the only advice physician could give
to hay fever patient was to go away
from home. but now any one who eN-
poets the disease. can, if HyOmei is
used. stay at home without fear of
the annual attack of sneezing, wat
cry eyes. and other discomfort.
j. F. Forbes, well known western
railroad man, whose home is at Nc
Cook. Neb., writes: Il have never
had relief from any remedy from hay
fever, even temporarily, until / dis
covered the merits of Hyomei. l will
always recommend it when ever oc-
casion requires"
There is no offensive stomach dos
ing when Hyomei is used. 1t is n re-
liable remedy for the cure of all
diseases of the respiratory organs,
and it is breathed through neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit. so that the air taken into the
throat and lungs is like that of the
White Mountains or other health re-
sorts where hay fever is unknown.
II. II. Thomas, who has the local
agency for Hyomei. advises all who
are subject to hay fever to begin its
use two or three weeks before the
time of the annual appearance of this
disease and thus prevent the attack
If, however. Hyomei is not used until
the sneezing and other disagreeable
symptoms have shown themselves, it
is necessary to use the treatment
more frequently, at least half dozen
times daily, and Hyomei Balm should
be rubbed into the nostrels both
morning and night
The fact that r. ii. Thomas agrees
to refund the money to any hay fever
sufferer who uses Hyomei without
success. should inspire confidence in
it's power to effect 4 cure.

he had a medicine in the form of
