When England took up the Egyptian
problem. subdued the rebel dervishes
and determined to restore fertility
where stagnation prevailed, new era
opened for the Nile region. Even the
Sphinx might have been pardoned for
smiling obviously at the temerity OF
the invader, but English keenness fore
saw great possibilities and English
persistence was not to be checked. To-
day, Egypt is one Of the most promis-
ing regions in the world. The con-
struction Of dams under the direction
of Lord Cromer the British consul
general and diplomatic agent, has add
Cd ZOO miles to the cultivable area of
Egypt. the value of which will amount
TO about S4O0,O00,O00. 1t was the great
est engineering achievement the world
has ever seen and under proper control
the land of the Nile should become the
richest on earth. That is what con
servatives bespeak for 1t and what
England Is seeking to make 1t.
But that is in the future. 1t is the
condition of the country to-day, in the

Il. H. Moody Guarantees to Refund Money
If Hyomei Fails to Cure the Worst Case
of Catarrh.
1t is no uncommon thing to see medicine
advertised as a guaranteed cure But
investigation usually shows that the guar
antee is made by some unknown firm, hum
dreds of miles away.
The guarantee, though, that comes with
Hyomei, is entirely different 1t is made
by K. ii. Moody, one of the most reliable
drug men in this section. He advertiSeS
that if Hyomei does not cure the worst
case of catarrh, he will return the money
without any question or argument. No
business house in Belfast has a better repu-
tation for square dealing than r. H Moody
and when he guarantees that he will refund
the money if Hyomei fails to cure catarrh,
no one has any question as to the agree
fnent being lived up to, both in the spirit
and letters.
Hyomei is very easy and pleasant to use.
Just breathe it through the little inhaler
that comes with every outfit; every breath
VIII bring recovery so much the nearer. 1t
kills all the germs of catarrhal troubles in
the air passages of the head, throat and
lungs, soothes and heals the irritated mu-
cUuS membrane, and is the only natural
cure for catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but one dollar,
and extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtain
ed for fifty cents Do not let a slight
catarrhal trouble develop into one that may
be serious and chronic. Use Hyomei at
once, remembering that you run no risk
whatever when you try lyomei on K. H..
Moody offer of "No cure, no pay.

Dear Sir: If you paint two houses alike
with two different paints, and one takes
twice as much paint as the other, you know
which paint to buy after that-so far as 60
far goes-dOn't you?
One of these paints is Devoe the other is
any average paint. The worst are worse
than that; the better are not much better :;
no other paint than Devoe is anywhere near
Devoe in go-far. Devoe is go further; the
rest are go-short gO-middling and go-three-
quarters. Yours truly,

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease Catarrh
is a blood'or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally and acts directly on the blood and
not a Quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years, and is a regular prescription.
It is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two ingre-
dients is what produces such wonderful re-
suits in curing Catarrh. Send for testi-
