Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times q Day
and be Cured.


II a few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with healing balsam,
the idea would have been ridiculed
and it remained for that eminent in
vestigator, r. T. Booth, to discover
in Hyomei this method Of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mir
aculous cures of catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members of
the medical profession as the only
advertised remedy that can be relied
upon to do just what it claims. The
complete outfit Of Hyomei costs but
S1.OO and consists of an inhaler, a
medicine dropper and bottle of
HyOmei.
Breathe Hyomei through the in
haler for a few minutes four times a
day and it will cure the worst case Of
catarrh. It soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects COM
plete and lasting cure.
In Grand Rapids there are scores Of
well known people who say they have
been cured Of catarrh by Hyomei. II
it does not cure you, John E. DAILY
will return the money you paid for
Hyomei. This is the strongest evil
dence that can be offered as to their
faith in the remedy.

There can be no doubt that news
paper advertising is rapididly increas-
ing it's lead over the billboard In the
favor OF the advertiser.
The public has again and again ex-
pressed it opposition to the billboard,
and with city after city passing laws
abolishing the unsightly disfgure-
ments the billboard is in fair way to
become thing of the past.
AS the newspaper grows in favor
the billboard diminishes, and who
will deny that the newspaper is far
greater factor in the publicity field
than it was even year ago?
AS advertising grows more out of
its infancy and out OF Its expert

WHERE WOMEN MAY VOTE.
One Triumph for Them In the East
ern and one In the western
Hemisphere.

The advocates of woman suffrage are
able TO record two recent triumphs, one
in the eastern and the other in the west
ern hemisphere, says the Baltimore
American. In the next election for
members Of both the upper and lower
chambers Of parliament Of the Aus
tralian commonwealth women viii be
allowed TO vote. They will also be
eligible for seats in both houses. They
have had the full parliamentary suf-
frage In New Zealand for TN years In
South Australia they have voted since
1896 and in West Australia since 1901.
So far as New Zealand is concerned
the admission Of women to the fran
ohise had no distinguishable effect on
the relative strength Of parties The
outcome Of the experiment in the Aus
tralian commonwealth will. neverthe-
less. be watched with interest, be-
cause there the great majority Of wom-
en- are said to be wage earners. and Il is
possible that their votes may 60 en-
masse to the labor party.
In four American states women are
already entitled to a vote and 1t seems
probable that within a few years they
viii gain the full franchise in three
other states. to-wit: Oregon. Washing
ton and South Dakota. In Oregon the
opposition to women's rights has dwin-
died TO a small fraction Of what it was
I'm 1854 and the majority against a con
stitutonal amendment granting the
franchise to women was diminished in
the state Of Washington from nearly 49,
400 IN 1889 to less than 9 900 in 1898. In
South Dakota the majority against
woman suffrage. which in 1890 was
nearly $4,000. sank in 1898 to less than
$500
Meanwhile. a partial suffrage has
been conceded to women in many parts
Of the world. Thus IN England both
married and single women have the
parish and district suffrage and in Ire
land women can vote for all Office
holders except members Of parliament.
In Norway also they have the municipal
suffrage and in France they can vote for
judges Of the tribunals Of commerce. In
Kansas women have the municipal fran
chise; IN Ohio, Connecticut and Della
ware the school suffrage; in Minnesota
the right to vote for library trustee, and
in Louisiana the right to vote upon all
questions submitted TO taxpayers On
The other hand. Il cannot be said that
women are as near 70 acquiring the par
.iamentary franchise in the United
Kingdom as they seemed some years
ago
