STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH
t. II Thomas Guarantees That HyomeI
VIII Cure the Worst Case of Ca
tarrh I'm Rock Island

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Rock Island guarantees
that a medicine will effect a cure or
he will return the money. it speaks
volumes as to the merit of that RENE
dy. 1t is in this way that L. II. Thorn
as is selling Hyomei, the treatment
that has made so many remarkable
cures of both acute and chronic cases
of catarrh in Rock Island and yicin-
ity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a IL
quid that has to be taken with la
blespoon or wineglass. Just 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 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 mucous 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 frag-
rance that is healing to the respira-
tory organs.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you. L. H. Thomas will refund
your money. This is a good time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
SO common at this season

HEALTH IS WEALTH.

GOOD HEALTH is the soil from
which springs flowers of mental, ply
steal and spiritual loneliness. From it
grows, with luXuriant naturalness,
self-consciousness, cheerfulness, am
bition and energy. The man who has
youth in his heart, pure blood in his
veins and cheerfulness, ambition, en-
ergy aAd self-confidence in his make
up,is worth more to himself, his fam
lily, his friends and his country, than
is the broken-down millionaire with
all his wealth. Man enters the world
with nothing, his entire life is spent
in strife for gold, always to the detri-
ment- and often to the destruction of
HEALTH. HAPPINESS AND MAN
HOOD. which are his most valuable
possessions.
THESE SYMPTOMS ARE THE DAN
GER SIGNALS.
Those who have violated natures
laws: Your memory is poor, your
heart beats irregular, you worry
about nothing. extreme nervousness,
tired feeling, mental depression, star
tied in your sleep. always expecting
the worst to happen. dizziness, head
ache, hate society, rather be alone,
loss of energy and ambition, the
world seems against YOU and living is
uphill work. These and many other
alarming symptoms are indications
OF the general undermining of your
system. You must be cured. Your ref
noe lies in the

STORY IN WAR CRY
BROUGHT LAD HOME
Salvation Army Organ Responsible for
the Restoration to His Parents of
George Gelwick, of Canton,

When a sweet voiced worker in the
ranks of the Salvation Army placed a
War Cry in the hands of two little
boys in Pittsburg Saturday she brought
about joyful occurrence for Mrs.
George Gelwick, of sos Newton street
whose son, Omar, aged Is, has return
ed home after an absence OF four
months. For 1t was through this paper
that the lad was returned 20 his pl os-
trate mother.
Young Gelwick has been in Pittsburg
ever since his disappearance on July
II. Descriptions of him were publish
ed in the leading newspapers of the
country, the police in many cities were
asked to assist in the search but the
lad AYERS that he saw none of these
stories.
Last Saturday two of his compan-
ions came across his photograph in the
War Cry, the paper of the Salvation
Army. In the accompanying descrip-
tion 1t said, Mother is in, a serious
condition" 1t was this sentence
which aroused the youth to sense of
duty and caused him to seek out his
brother, Bruce Gelwick, who is employ
ed in the Smoky City.
Smiles and Joy Instead of tears and
sorrow reign in the Gelwick home and
the weary, anxious search has ended.

Speech ana Says Federation was
Never in More Prosperous Condition
Receipts Increased and More Or
ganizers to be Placed in Field.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 9-The opening
day of the 23rd annual convention Of
the American Federation of Labor clos
ed at $50 this afternoon. Notable
men in the labor world were In atten-
dance, the chief being Samuel Com
pers, for twenty-five years president
of the A. F. of L., John Mitchell, pres
ident of the U. M. w. of A. The pres
ence of the latter may mean more than
is at present thought. 1t is intimated
that he and his followers are to contest
for the chair now occupied by Presi-
dent Gompers.
The morning session was called to
order by President Gompers at 1920
and was devoted to the address Of
welcome delivered by Dennis u. Dris-
coll, president of the Boston central
labor union, the reply by President
Gompers; the protesting of delegates
and the appointing of the various COM
mittees.
At the afternoon session President
GOmpers delivered his annual address
speaking for two and half hours. He
reviewed the work Of the year and
stated that the federation was never In
q more prosperous condition.
At the conclusion of his address he
was greeted with long and loud ap-
plause. President Gompers was follow
ed by Secretary Frank Morrison, who
said:
"The increase of the per capita tax
ut the Scranton convention and the re-
markable increase in membership dur
ing the past year, will increase our re-
ceipts and thus enable the officers of
the American Federation Of Labor to
xers lin" the Acid to strengthen local
unions and adjust grievances.
Through its defense fund for local
trade and federal labor unions, the Of
ficers Of the American Federation Of
Labor are in position to give protec-
tion to very nearly one hundred
thousand members.
with $22,616.72 in the general, and
So, 1896. 40 in the defense fund, there is
a greater amount of money in the
treasury than ever before in the his
tory of the organization.
"The total receipts for the year
were $247.S07,242, the expenses were
1886, 6,916.517."
The report Of the treasurer. John B.
Lennon, was then read. 1t said:
1--WE hear much recently of the great
danger to the trades union movement
on account Of the organization OF the
employers. don't beliece that this is
at all dangerous. To me the danger to
our movement lies in the divisions ex-
listing in the trade unions themselves,
and those divisions are very largely
over the question Of Jurisdiction. BY
the decisions of the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, I feel
sure that the spirit of fairness that
has always been manifested by the del
egates attending the convention, will
without hesitation rectify them"
The first days session adjourned al
$3.50 p. m. until 9 o'clock tomorrow.
