Without Stomach
Dosing.

II for q few minutes four times a
day you breathe Hyomei, all catarrhal
germs will be destroyed and the irri-
tated mucous membrane restored to
health.
With every Hyomei outfit there is a
neat inhaler which can be carried in
the purse or pocket. Hyomei breathed
through this contains the same heal.
ing balsams that are found in the air
upon the mountains, where catarrh is
unknown.
1t destroys all catarrhal germs in
the air passages Of the head, throat
and nose, and makes q positive and
permanent cure Of cstarrh.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
while extra bottles of Hyomei can be
obtained for 30 cents, making it one of
the most economical treatments for ca
tarrb.
Druggist Gokay believes so thorough
ly in the merit of Hyomei, that he
guarantees to refund the money if it
fails. This is certainly the strongest
evidence he can give Of his faith in
the Hyomei treatment. 1t enables any
one to use Hyomei without risk Of
spending money for nothing.
Ask Druggist Gokay to show you a
Hyomel outfit and explain to you what
a simple and easy way it is to relieve
and cure your catarrhal troubles.

CHIEF RESIGNS
Commissioner Ware VIII
Retire at the Close
of the Present Year

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Commis-
sioner of Pensians Ware to-day ten
dered his resignation to the President
and it was accepted, to take effect on
January 1.
Tonight Commissioner Ware refused
to discuss his action in any way ex-
cept to say that the newspapers of the
country had been ''resigning" him for
the past two years.
For at least a year ii had been def
nitely known that Ware would resign
from his office soon after the fall cleo
tions and return to his home in Kan
sas TO resume his law practice. 1t is be-
lieved here that Commissioner Wares s
action was not due to any suggestion
that the severance of his relations with
the Pension Office would be agreeable
to the President. On the contrary, 1t
has been no secret that Commissioner
Ware soon after assuming his duties
found them distasteful to him and that
this distaste steadily increased.
There is no intimation tonight as to
who his successor will be.
