the upper part Of the vessel from
what is below the water line, and thus
shields the boilers, engines and dyna-
mos that are her heart and other vital
organs. Far below its surface Is the
spot where, according TO Kipling,
"The scaled stokers yelped delight,
AS they rolled in the waist and heard

Another interesting thing that the

finished cruiser finds out is that Iowa =

something over $4,000 pounds Of 1t are

fact that the danger of serious conse-
quences is lessened by the division Of
the hull along the water line into Sc
ries of Independent watertight compart

for as fast as the hole admitted the
water, the water would In turn expand
the cornpith, which would almost Inn

vent leaking until the damage could be
repaired.
The comforts of the interior arrange

Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by drugging the stomach. Temper
airy relief may he given, but cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said he only way to cure catarrh
would be to have change of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest pocket
and by breathing it few minutes four
times a day soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81 90
and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and if one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents. 1t is the
most economical of all remedies adver-
tised for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method of treating diseases of the respi-
ratory organs.
w. II. Sheldon has sold great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells the
more convinced he is that he is perfectly
safe in guaranteeing to refund the
money if Hyomei does not cure.

Mrs. BeadeIl has Marrow Escape

Mrs. William Beadell of Arlington. N.
j., wife of the former editor of the
Register, participated in a sensational
runaway at Flushing, l.. l., Saturday
afternoon, says the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle. She with three other friends
were out riding with the family carriage
and team of her father, Supt. j. j.
Chickering, when the pole to the
carriage broke, falling to the ground
and frightening the horses. The coach
man was thrown into the gutter, and
the team ran several blocks at break
neck speed narrowly escaping wrecking
several teams and running over several
people when the carriage brought up
against hitching post, throwing the
party into the gutter, Mrs. Beadell and
her father were badly bruised and in
jured, and the carriage was a total
wreck. 1t was very narrow escape
from more serious result.

CURES CATARRH.
"Uyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered" says DIR.
w. ii. sheldon.

Do not try to catch catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner, The only way in
which this too common disease can be
cured is through a direct application
that will kill the baclli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accomplishes this. 1t is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most prom
inent men and women in the country
who have been cured by this remarkable
remedy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers,
even eminent physicians have given
strong testimonials as to the remarkable
powers of HyomeI to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, consisting of an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordin-
airy cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases of catarrh, longer use may
be necessary, and then extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for soc. 1t is
not alone the best Dit might be called the
only method of curing catarrh, but it is
also the most economical.
DIR. w. II. Sheldon has so much con-
fidence in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh, that he will, for limited time
sell this medicine under his persona
guarantee to refund the money if tn,
purchaser can say that it did not hell
them.

LETTER TO THOMAS BURNS.
MTDDI EBITRN. VT,

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard. Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead-andzinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs
E r Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $l.25 gallon. Mrs Bow
man can. She has sold about all the
paint, that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe: had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that cheap is
dear paint, and told the people.
Mr. Burt Young bought gallon of De-
voc for rooms that had always taken a
gallon: had half left.
Mr. E II Hitler, jeweler, painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no parti-
culars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job be ever had.
Mrs Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for a cheap paint
town with bright woman in it.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co,
New York.
P. S. A. Calhoun & son sells our paint.
