Prospective Candidates Have 5ut
Little Time.

1t you still contemplate running for
mayor, alderman, city clerk or police
commissioners you had best get buy
and get into the game by tonight, as
under the rulings of the city executive
committee the limit expires with today.
And all entries should be in by to-
night and the assessment paid.
The committee is going to have the
official tickets prepared at once, and
unless your name is in the hat in ad-
vance it will cost more to come in after

No poor man can afford to bother with any

GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY,
Regular Use Of Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case of Ca1arrh.

Regular Use OF Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case of Ca'arrh.
No other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyomei in the treatment OF
catarrah
The first breath of this remedy soothes
and heals the irritated and smarting air
passages, and the regular use for few
days or weeks will cure the most stub
born case. Some of the reports of those
who have been CURED of catarrh by
Hyomei read like miracles.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, consisting of an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient HYomei to last several
weeks. This will effect cure IN or.
binary cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases of catarrh, longer use may
be necessary, and then extra bottles OF
Hyomei can be obtained for sos.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that j.
Ct, Dodson will agree to refund the
money If you say that Hyomei has not
helped you.
