MANY CURES in MARsHALLTowN.
Mcbride & Will Report Good Work
Done hx Hxonei in Curinn Catarrh.

Done by Hyomei in Curing Catarrh.
1t is seldom that a remedy has made
so many cures in so short a time as Hy-
lomei has in curing cases of catarrh in
Marshalltown.
Mcbride & Will have so much faith in
the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh
that at the very start they sold the
remedy under their personal guarantee
to refund the money in case it did not
give satisfaction. AS yet they have had
but two customers who asked them to
refund the price, while scores have told
of the remarkable cures accomplished
by this medicine.
Hyomei cures catarrh by a new prln-
ciple, by breathing balsamic air, not by
pills, drugs or nauseatiEs liquids. 1t is
the only positive cure eve discovered
for this disease, and 1t is also the pleas
ATTEST method of treatment.
The outfit consists OF an inhaler, a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo-
mel, the total cost being 81. The in
haler will last a lifetime, while for
treatment Of catarrh a bottle of Hyomei
is sufficient for more than a months
use. Simply drop a little of the Hyo-
mel into the inhaler and then breathe it
for a few minutes four or five times a
day. The air filed with the balsamic
healing of Hyomef enters the air pas
sages n lungs, killing the disease
germs, soothing the irritated mem
branes and effecting a permanent cure.
If a cure is not gained ask Mcbride &
Will to return your money and they
will do 1t without question.
No fairer way of selling a medicine
was ever adopted by any one. You
ought to begin the use OF Hyomei today
on this plan.

Trying to Put President Roosevelt in An
Attitude of Hostility Toward Labor.

Of course the mpiest-minded, most
ignorant man in the world can easily
instruct the President as to how he
ought to run the government" In a
democracy this is one of the blessed
privileges enjoyed by the sovereign
voter. Having lived under the iron
rule of some effete monarchy all his
life he comes over to the LAND of the
free" and proceeds to read lectures to
the President, to governors and to may
ors of cities as to their official duties
and Obligations. Although he may not
know how many States there are in the
Union he can easily elucidate the prin-
ciples of free government to the chief
executive of the nation.
A certain Chicago "labor organiza-
ton recently gave the President a
9,0OO-word letter, conveying to him
with much elaboration of detail its ex-
act notion as to how he should run GER
tain important branches of the public
service While correcting and mildly
reprimanding the President for his mis-
takes the letter assumed the indulgent
attitude of parent to an erring child
Its sentences were framed more in pity
than in anger and its tone was pervad-
ed by a touching current OF sympathy
for the President because of the subtitle
and sinister influences that were dis
suading him from the path of recti-
tude.
The absurdity of all this will be plain
ly apparent to all who stop to reflect
that the President has absolutely moth
ng to do with organized labor or any
other kind of labor except, perhaps,
the few workmen who are employed
about his home at Oyster Bay. All the
employees of the government at wash
ington, except the executive heads of
various departments, are under the
from the eligible lists of the civil SER
vice commission. A printer in the gov
eminent printing office may belong to a
union but he is under the civil service
law and his allegiance to the govern
ment comes before all other allegiances.
The President has nothing to do with
him except to carry out his oath to en-
force the constitution.
Then why give the President 5000
word lecture on his attitude toward
labor? What is the source of this very
obvious effort to put the President in
an attitude of hostility toward labor?
A great many shrewd and far-seeing
politicians see in it the hand Of Wall
street. The men of finance and the
men who gamble in the watered stock
of inflated corporations do not like
Roosevelt. They fear the rugged and
sturdy courage of the man. They do
not like his sterling candor and integ-
rity. 1t is very easy matter for these
money-kings to quietly foment and en-
courage hostility to Roosevelt in the
ranks of organized labor. The plan IS
to make it appear that labor is SO hos,
tile to the President that his party will
not dare to nominate him.
OF course the plan will fail. AS for
"What- To Eat" we prefer Roosevelt
for President because we believe that
if Congress ever has the courage to pass
federal Pure Food law he can be de-
pended upon to enforce it honestly,
courageously and without fear or favor.

Aroostook Gives Thanks.

In our own magnificent county
everything is on the topmost wave OF
prosperity. The season just passed
has been one Of happy conditions for
the farmer. The hay crop, while not
equal to some years, was a fair yield;
the wheat crop is above the average,
more acres being planted than ever be-
fore with better yield; the oat crop
was a good one; and the splendid
weather conditions which prevailed
during harvesting enabled the farmers
to house their grain in prime condition.
The potato crop-our staple product
has fairly outdone itself. The acreage
was large and the yield enormous; and
better yet, the market has been firm
with an upward NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
