sixteen who had the misfortune to find
favor in his eyes. His pockets being
empty he persuaded three comrades to
kidnap the maid. whom he then took
off to another village as his wife.
But her father. on discovering her
whereabouts, had her sent back by the
police. and then demanded $3.50 for
loss Of her services. as we should say.
BOkayeff. to whom the demand was
made. would not or could not pay. The

OLD TOMBS IN EGYPT

Some important archaeological dis
coveries made recently at Benz Hasan,
a site in Egypt famous for its painted
tombs and early architectural features,
are detailed by Prof. John Garstang,
of University college. Liverpool.
A vast metropolis has been un-
earthed, remarkable for the preserva-
tion of the furniture in its tombs and
for the wealth of material which these
supplied in illustrating the burial Gus
toms Of the Middle Empire. Four hun
dred and ninety-two tombs hewn in the
rock have been opened and examined.
More than 100 of them had never been
previously entered since their doors
were closed at the time of interment

DO NOT DOSE The STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own Method
Every Breath of Hyome Brings
Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by drugging the stomach. Tempo
rary relief may be given, but cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four time a day soon cure your
self
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but S1.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and if one bottle does not cure an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for so cents. 1t is the most economi-
cal of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh. and is the only one
that follows nature in her method oil
treating diseases of the respiratory or
gans.
George f. Greene has sold hundreds
of Hyomei outfits and the more he
sells. the more convinced he is that he
is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not
cure.
