CURES CATARRH
HyOmei the Most Wonderful Cure fOr
CatarTh Ever Discovered say
Wood BEOS.

Do not try to cure catarrh by
takIug drugs into the stomach
ut cannot be cured in that man
ner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be
cured is through a direct appli-
cation that will kill the bacllli
of catarrh and prevent their
grow tn.
Hy omei is the only known
met bod of treatment that ac-
complishes this. 1t is the sim
plest, most pleasant. and the
only absolute cure that has ev-
er been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited tes-
tim onials have been received
from the most prominent men
and women in the country who
have been cured by this remark
able remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent ply
sicians have given strong testi-
anonials as to the remarkable
powers df Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs out $1.00 consisting Of an
inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei to last several weeks.
This will effect a cure in ordi-
ary cases, but for chronic and
de ep-seated cases of catarrh.
lon ger use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles of Hy-
omei can be obtained for SOC. It
is not alone the best Gt might be
called the only method of cur
ing catarrb, but it is also the
most economical.
Wood Bros. have so much
con fdence in the power of Hyo. |
mel to cure catarTh, that they |
will for limited time, sell this |
me dicine under their personal |
gu arantee to refund the money
Il the purchasers Scan say that |
t did not help them.

Keep Grass Fields Clean.

A few days work will make a
te1.acre meadow or oat field
clean at harvest, and the labor
thus expended pays as well as
any labor put on farm crops. A
ten-acre meadow should pro-
duce twenty tons of hay. and
the difference in price between
clean, pure hay and that con.
tanning visible ''admixture" of
weeds is seldom less than 50 a
ton; hence labor in cleaning up
the meadow is sold at a good
Price.
1t must be a badly infested IA
ere if good hand cannot go
over it in day, cutting out all
dock, mullen, white top and
other common meadow weeds,
though it may be found neces-
sary to go over the field twice,
once in May and again about
the middle of June,
A common hoe may be used,
bit d narrow-bladed hazel hte
wo uld probably be a better too.
The spud is used in Eastern
States to get rid of deep-rooted
weeds, and is also a favorlte
tool for this purpose in Eng
land. 1t resembles a narrow
spade. but a two-inch cbisel at |
the end of a four-foot handle is /
a very good substitute.
The farmer who has never
tried cleaning out meadow or
grain field may regard it as an
heroic undertaking, but when
once the practice is adopted it
will never be abandoned, as it

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A girl has to be very brave
not to let you hold her hand for
fear of ghosts or, burglars when
the lights go out.
It's funny how a woman will
admit that her husbands hair
is red, but figure out that their
children's is golden.
A girl seems to think she
takes a good many risks in mar
rying the best man. and more in
not marrying the worst.
A girl is so sus picious about
a man wanting to marry her
that ifshe looks at her in church
she runs1and tells her mother.
A woman can always believe
that if her son had been born
just a little taller or shorter
(his fathers fault he would be
President of the United States
for life.-New York Press.

The Glasgow Missourian SAYS,
"Walter Williams of the Colum
bid Herald is being urged by
bis friends to enter the race for
secretary of state. Mr.. Will
liams possesses all the qualifica-
tlons necessary to make a good
official, and would no doubt com
mand strong following through
out the state, but it is more than
doubt ful whether he could make
even a good showing at this late
day. Mr.. Cook has made a
record for efficiency unrivaled
by any of his predecessors, and
his personal popularity is at.
tested by the fact that he al.
ready has instructed nearly suf-
tcient delegates to nominate
him on the first ballot. This
eAoIl 10 secure a candidate to
run against Sam B. Cook had it's
origin with the Republican
press OF the state, and is foster
ed by lot of soreheads and
band-wagon jumpers who are
trying to curry favor with Folk.
In proof of the Republican
source of the opposition to
Cook, one need only look at the
editorial columns of the Globe. |

The COStlieSt Luxury Yet.

The Roosevelt administration
has acquired the distinction of
beng the most expensive In our
history. The second admins
trait on of Madison including the
war Of 1912 cost $3.50, 442, 794.
The administration of Polk,
inc luding the Mexican war, cost
$173, 800, 166.
The administration of Lincoln
inc luding the Civil war, cost
50, 347, 500, 909 in paper money,
equivalent to from 81, 500, 600, 900
to 81, 900, 100000 in gold.
The first administrat lion of
Nc Kinley including the Spanish
and Philippine wars, cost ST.
9O6, 1861.
The administration of Roose-
welt, in unbroken peace, has
cost 81, ,449, 228, 545 in gold. That
is nearly four time as much as
was spent under the scandalous
first administration of Grant
and three times the cost of the

The Indians Religion.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Charles Gibson disputes the assertion that
the primitive Indian is a heather. Says
Mr.. Gibson: THE Indians green corn
dances are looked upon wild savage
proceeding. but in reality these annual fes-
tivities are species of religion. The In
dian is more serious, sober and on good
behavior at a Dusk than at any other
time.
The reason for these annual festivities
of an Indians living When he has corn
in his crib he has plenty to live on These
dances are originally held at the ripenipg
of all fruits. In fact, ii was the custom to
thanks to the Great Spirit for granting the
privilege of feasting upon the fruits of ma
ture The Indian has always in his simple
way worshiped God.
The square grounds wherein these cere-
monies are carried on are very sacred when
the customs are carried out properly. For
instance, drunken man is not allowed in
side the tucho, the dance ground is
called. No loud talking boisterous per-
son is allowed to come within the grounds;
Furthermore, no woman with a clouded rep
utation is allowed to come into the grounds
night or day. The ceremonies are very SOL
emnly carried out. and no foolishness is
allowed 1t is also custom not to allow
any four-footed animal to come about the
place. as they are looked upon as unclean.
The man, woman or boy who had eaten
green corn before these ceremonies were
concluded was not allowed to take part at
the Dusk, as their taking a hand would
destroy the good virtues to be received
from the Great Spirit. The person who ate
green corn before the black drink was adj
ministered at the regular Dusk was con-
Sidered a backslider.
Each town in olden times had its re-
spective 'busk;' not always on the same
date. anywhere from about the 10th of July
to September of each year"

The Iron That Gave Us Leadership.


the economic results of the discovery
and development of the Mesabf range of
ore form one of the most important indus
trial facts In the past half century. Since
the first shipment from the Mesabi In 1892,
the iron ore production of the United States
has increased from I6OOO,OO0 to 30 600 600
tons per annum: the pig iron product from
9,OOO,OOo to 1SOOO.OO0; the steel output from
little more than 100000 tons to ID OOO,-
900; while the iron and steel exports OF
the United States have grown from about
S2o,OOO,O0O year to $120, 900 900 During
these dozen years We have become the
greatest iron -and-steel-p producing country.
The Mesabi was the greatest single factor
in this achievement and, without the vast
resources of the Mesabi, the present domi-
nance of the United States in iron and steel
would have been delayed perhaps for dec
AIDES. sixth of the annual iron-ore prod
uct of the world-which is more than a
third of the yearly production of America
comes from an iron range that was I'M
known in 1890. The Mesabi range on Lake
Superior yields enough to make as
much iron and steel as all Great Britain
makes. and her Industrial domnancy WAS
founded on iron. During the fifty years
range on Lake Superior yielded more ore
range has produced almost as much I'm
twelve years as the Marquette produced in
fifty. In the use of steel the cheap and
abundant ores of the Mesabi have produced
a revolution. They have enabled the rail-
roads, within the past six years, to relay
with heavy steel rails almost the whole
rail mileage of the United States.
