KANSAS CITY'S SCHEME.
Want Andrew Carnegie to Loan
Money to Flood Sufferers.

The flood relief committee of Kansas
City, Kan, is considering the idea of ask

fererS of Wyandotte county $500 900 to aid
them in getting their homes in habbita bic
condition. Judge K. p. Snyder, a member

be provided with better houses before the
houses in the flooded districts, which were
either swept away or damaged so that they

is to get some philanthropist to loan these
families from 500 to $500 each at from
to per cent interest, in order that they
may have something with which to get
their houses into shape for habtation.
They say that practically all of the money
would be repaid and it would prevent great
suffering. The sufferers are nearly all

HAY FEVER FOR II YEARS.
Well Known New England Woman
Cured by Hyomei = Cure Was
Lasting.

The thousands of discouraged people
who dread summers approach because
they think that hay fever cannot be
avoided. will read with interest and
gratitude the following statement from
Helen F. Williams of Mansfield, Mass
For 81 years, from the month of Au-
gust until heavy frost. 1 have been af-
1icted with hay fever. growing worse
and worse each year, and of late years 1
was unable to attend to my work dur
ing that period.
Last summer 1 fortunately gave
Hyomei a trial and am happy to say
that it entirely cured me and l have
had no return of the affliction SINCE
This letter is one of many that have
come to the proprietors of Hyomei, and
the results following this treatment,
have been so wonderful that it is pro-
posed at the annual convention of hay
fever sufferers to recommend Hyomei to
all who are susceptible to this disease.
Hyomei is a treatment for hay fever
that combines the latest discoveries of
science and the best of common sense.
Knowing that a change of climate was
the only way in which relief could be
obtained, the evolution of Hyomei nat
urally resulted. BY breathing its germ
killing and healing balsams, any one
can have, at any moment of the day,
either in their home, the office or the
factory, climate like that of the White
Mountains or other health resorts, where
hay fever is unknown.
Geo. w. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kan
sas avenue, agrees to refund the money
To any hay fever sufferer who uses Hyo-
mel if it does not give satisfaction.
