The people OF the State should

The people OF the State should
take an active interest In the selec'
ton of members of the Legislature
to be elected next fall. 1t now
seems pretty certain that the tax
reform matter will be left
for that body to consider
and dispose of, and that
being the case the greatest care
SHOULD be taken In the selection of
members. No doubt the Especial
interests" will be looking out to get
their friends elected to the legisla-
ture and to look after their welfare,
and this applies not only to pros
pective tax reform legislation. but
to many other matters as we'll. The
ranks and file must give some atten-
ton to politics next year. Don't be
satisfied with ticket made up by
some little caucus or conference. 1t
may be made up of good substan.
tial and able men. but find out
what tn y represent. There might
be scheming politicians who would
gladly keep a good friend and able
supporter of honest tax reform at
home In order to send to the senate
or house of delegates man of halt
or quarter his ability and useful =
ness because he favors this or that
candidate for United States Sen
ator. though he may be all wrong
On the subject of tax reform. Get
men who are earnestly and sincere
ly in favor of fair, just and honest
legislation of all kinds and you can
trust him to vote right when 1t
comes to selecting proper man
for the United States Senate.

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
A C Van Glider Guarantees Taat Hyo-
mel Will Cure the worst case OF
Catarrh in Point Pleasant.

Catarrh in Point Pleasant.
When one of the most reputable
concerns in Point Pleasant guaran-
tees that a medicine will effect a cure
or he will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that rem
edy. 1t is in this way that Van Gill
der is selling Hyomei, the treatment
that has made so many remarkable
cures of both acute and chronic ca
tarrh in Point Pleasant and vicinity
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it LIQUID
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or wineglass. inst breathe it by the
aid of an inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from
the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ of life in the
air passages and lungs and enriches
and purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucus MEM
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do its work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respitory organs.
complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$l.00, and includes an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment
Remember that If Hyomei does not
cure you, Van Glider will refund your
money. This is good time to cure
catarrh by this natural method and
prevent catarrhal colds that are so
common at this season.

The Missouri Pumpkin pie.

If there is anything in the cook
ing of which the Missouri farmers
wife exceIs it is pumpkin pies. An
incident at the Skidmore "pump-
kin show" last week indicates that
theoncoming generation of farm
ar's wives will be fully equal to
their mothers in this important
partionlsr. w. J. Skidmore, Skid
more's leading Citizen. offered a
prize to the country maiden who
should make the best pumpkin
pie. he to be the judge. Six pies
were exhibited. When Mr.. Skid
more took a bite of the first he
mentally decided that it would
take the prize. When he bit the
second, he decided the prize would
have to be haIved. When he bit
the third, he concluded that the
prize would have to be divided in
to three parts. The upshct was
that Kr. Skidmore was unable to
make a selection. Instead, however,
of dividing the prize into six parts,
he ruled that each was so good as
to deserve a prize, and SO he gave
six prizes instead of one. Even
the New England minoe pie has to
go way back and sit down when the
Missouri pumpkin pie marches up
on the table.-Kansas City Jour
