WHAT IS CATARRH?
Hyomei Cures This Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh By the simple
method Of breathing it into the air pass
ages and lungs. 1t kills the germs Of
catarrhal poison, heals and so0thes the
irritated mucous membrane, enters the
blood with the oxygen and kills the germs
present there, eifectually driving this
disease from TIE system.
If you have any Of the following symp-
toms, catarrhal germs are at work some
where in the mucuous membrane of the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes or tissues
OF the lungs.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-05-18

Hyomei win cure the disease, destroy
activity Of all germ life in the respiratory
organs, enrich and purify the blood with
additional ozone, and after a few days
use Of this treatment the majority Of these
symptoms will have disappeared. In a
few weeks the cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot exist
when Hyomei Is used This is q strong
statement, but the Red Cross Pharmacy
emphasizes it by agreeing to refund your
money If Hyomei does not cure.

HAS THREE LIVES COMING.
Death in Six Different Forms
II Victim of Explosion.

With three lives still to his credit,
Thomas j.. the large black tomcat,
once the property Of Frank O'Neill, Of
Kenvil, N. j., is still interested in
things mundane.
The last and most remarkable of his
exploits was on recent Wednesday
night, when the forcite works at Ken.
VII were destroyed by an explosion
which shook the country for miles
around. Thomas j. must have been
on the roof Of one Of the buildings at
the time, preparing for his evenings
musicale. perhaps, because after the
explosion he was found somewhat
singed and considerably broken up in
tree at Ledgewood, three-quarters Of
. mile from the scene of the wreck.
He was recognized by the collar
which the employees of the forcite
works put on him three weeks ago,
when he left his former master, Frank
O'Neill, and came to make his home at
the mills. The men at the mill were
kind to him because they had read Of
the attempts Of O'Neill to kill the cat
by five different methods, including
shotgun, pitchfork, drowning and chic
roform.
Thomas J. was bowling feebly and
pitifully when found. and now has a
warm berth beside the hearthstone OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Siegle, who dis
covered him and rescued him from the
freetop.

Gently Discovers Injury.

Two years with badly fractured skull
of which she was utterly Unconscious is
the record of Mrs. George Hasserzahl, OF
Toledo, O., who is at present n arvel to
the physicians. Two years ago as Mrs.
Hassenzahl was descending some stairs
trap door fell upon her. She was
stunned for time, but it was thought
there were no serious results.
However, after the lapse ct some
months large swelling appeared above
one eye and for the removal Of this Drs.
George Hollister and Peter Donnelly de-
cided to operate. The patient was taken
to a hospital and what was the amaze
ment of the physicians to find that there
was fracture of the skull four inches IN
length. They are puzzled to know why
death did not result. The skull was tre-
PANIED and it is belived that Mrs Has
senzahl will be restored to good b salth.

CURSE FOLLOWS A FAMILY.
A Singular Mnlediction Which Has
Been FULFILLED An Historic
English House.

The Erskine family, the youthful head
Of which, the twelfth earl of Mar, has just
attained his thirty-eighth year, provides
one Of the strangest and most terrible
curses on record. BY some the curse has
been attributed to Thomas, the Rhymer;
by others to the abbot of Cambuskenneth
and by many to the bard who was at
tached to the house of Mar just prior to
the elevation Of the earl in 1851 to be
regent OF Scotland. It is most compre7
hensive curse, but local tradition claims
that 1t has been fulfilled in every detail,
not only in the banning, but in the bless
Ing with which 1t concluded. The proud
chief of Mar" was assured that his work
would be cursed and never finished and
that only when an ash sapling sprang
from the topmost bower Of his ancient
tower would the sorrows of family be
ended and the sunshine of royalty beam
on thee once more"
The earl to whom the curse was deliv-
cred destroyed Cambuskenneth abbey
and with the stones began to build a
palace at Stirling. 1t was never finished
and is still known locally and punningly
as MARS work" Other clauses in the
curse received strange fulfillment and the
predicted ash sapling was found on the
''topmost tower" between the years 1915
and 1920. In 1922, when George Nv. Wis
tied Scotland, he restored the estates
which had been forfeited for the family s
support Of the Stuarts. Finally Queen
Victoria accidentally met the countess in
a room at Stirling castle, spoke with hel
and kissed her on parting. Thus, IN the
words of the curse, "the kiss Of peace was
given to her though she sought it not,
and another prediction justified.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
DEVELOPMENT OF IRELAND.
Industrial outlook OF the Country 10
Brighter At Present Than
for Years.

European papers are commenting
favorably on the industrial outlook in
Ireland. The Handel's Museum says the
improved prospects brought about by
the land bill recently laid before parlia-
ment by the present government is in-
creasing the desire of capitalists to in
vest In Irish industrial enterprises. An
English-lrish syndicate has been
formed for the purpose OF removing one
OF the worst evils with which Irish in
dustrial development was afflicted, viz,
dear coal. The industrial difficulties
due to the absence Of coal in Ireland are
to be removed by the use of turf, in
which the island abounds. This is to be
cut. dried, and pressed into bricks. A
commission OF experts was sent re-
Gently by the syndicate to continental
Europe for the purpose Of studying the
methods Of manipulating peat, turf, and
bog-land fuel. The results were very
satisfactory, much more than justifying
the expense and effort. The expert evil
dence resulted in the establishment of
with daily capacity of $50 tons. Others
are 10 De erected, as soon as pOSS1ole,
In other parts of the island where turf
is found.
Another industry intimately con-
nected with the breaking up OF the great
Irish estates is the production Of spir'
lts and starch from potatoes. Several
distinguished persons are participating
in this industry, and the company COM
mands many millions Of dollars. This
company sent experts to the continent,
particularly to Germany. They made a
complete study Of the methods of pro-
duction, the machines used, the drying
and other apparatus, etc. The Germans
are looking for large market in Ire
land for their machinery, but expect
that the worlds spirit and starch mar
ket will be materially affected by thu
Irish product.

LONDON BREADS FIRE.
People Fear Repetition of Chicago
Horror-Prize offered for
Safety Lamp.

London people are getting afraid Of the
lamp that Mrs. O'Leary's COW kicked
over. Interest has been revived at the
grocery exhibition in Agricultural hall in
prize which for three years has gone
begging. It is offered to the inventor of
the best constructed safety lamp whose
wholesale price is not to exceed Is Sd In
which mineral oil can be burned and the
chief merit Of which must be absolute
safety.
The prize first offered was ESQ. This
year It Is increased to s120. Eighty
four lamps have been sent in for COMPETE
ton, but most of them are utterly I'M
suited for the purpose.
Some had fine wire scanolding con-
structed over the old-holder, tiny beams

er was at an angle and extinguish the
flame. las 1t would require machinist
to put 1t together, in the hands Of an
East End housewife" remarks the Daily
Telegraph, "the result might be left to
the Imagination"
Another was simplicity itself, consist
ing Of two enamled breakfast cups, one
to hold liquid. the other the wick, in some
way best known to the inventor. In
"Costerland" it wouldn't be hard to pic
ture the contrivance being utilized in
cooking the family breakfast.
The reason for this competition is the
fact that the number of accidents result
ing in upsetting mineral oil lamps in the
United Kingdom has been enormous.
