MOLINE MENTION

Two new phases for the crusade for
the adoption of the kindergarten
course in the public schools developed
at the meeting of the board of educa-
ton Tuesday evening. One was the
discovery that no law could be found
which compelled the board to place
the kindergarten proposition on the
ballot in response TO the petition, and
it was held to be entirely at the dis
erection of the board whether the peo-
pie shall vote on the proposition. An
other apparent setback was in the
report of Superintendent Cox set
ting forth the crowded condition of
the Ericsson and Grant buildings and
necessity for relief by opening of
school next fall.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED.
II HyomeI Does Not Cure ROu of Catarrh,
SAYS 7. II. Thomas.

II HyOmeI Does Not Cure ROu of Catarrh,
Says Il. IL. Thomas.
In advertising that he will refund
the money to anyone purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it
has done them no good in the treat
ment of catarrh, L. IL. Thomas means
exactly what this guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly 100, or else he
could not afford to make this unusual
offer. But if the treatment should
not be adapted to your case there
will be no questions or quibblings
when you go to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed The Hyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. An outfit costs but
81 and consists of an inhaler which
will last lifetime and sufficient Hy
omei for more than months treat
ment Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for so cents.
II. II. Thomas gives his personal
guarantee with every HyOmei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it does
not cure. There is no risk whatever
to the purchaser of Hyomei.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now ''eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
| best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
