NATURES OWN CURE.

gerous Druggine Of the Stomach.

Hyomei Cures catarrh Without Dam
gerous Drusgins Of the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truthfully say that
la remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times a day. and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with
the germ killing and health giving
Hyome. 1t is the Only treatment that
cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a per-
manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose but penetrates to the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. It frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.

includes an inhaler. dropper and suffic-
lent Hyomei for sevral weeks treat
ment.
u. James Belt has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money TO any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.

Impossible to Beach Her.

Owing to the rocks on either side OF
the channel at this point, it was
impossible to beach the vessel. The
captain stuck to his post at the wheel
and headed the vessel straight up the
river for North Brothers island, where
she was put aground in the shallow
water. Several hundred feet of open
water still lay between the burning
steamer and the shore, and many per-
sons persisted either in the water or on
the burning vessel after she had been
beached. 1t was estimated that the
steamer carried more than 1000 per-
sons. She was the largest excursion
steamer in these waters, and could car
ry $500 passengers.

The excursion was in charge of the

ence, his mother and little brother be-
ing drowned before his eyes:
when we left. the pier the decks
were packed to the limit of their ca
pacity. The band was playing, the
children were frolieking about and we
were all having fine time.
"As we neared He'll Gate, children
were called down to the lower deck,
where ice cream and soda water were
served.

each other in an effort to get to the
tables which held the refreshments.

watch the machinery. Suddenly and
without the least warning there was

flames spread with the rapidity of an
explosion, setting fire to the clothing
Of the women and children who were
grouped about the engine room watch

"There vas the most terrible panic
as the burning women and children
rushed out among those surrounding
the ice cream and soda water tables

NO RULE BUT WORK.

''The man who needs rules for succeeding in life will never sue ceed, so says Benjamin l.. Win chell, who has succeeded. A few years ago Mr. Winchell was clerk in railroad office at S9 week. Today he sits in a cushioned chair as president of the Frisco system of railroads and draws salary equal to that of the chief execu- tive of the nation.
 While talking of success as measured by dollars and cents, there is something in MT. Win chell's remark. There is a whole system of literature founded on this word, there is magazine with a large circulation, and books and periodicals contain inter views with successful persons who lay down rules for the guid- ance of young men. The advice is good enough in it's way, but being pressed for some rule which might be quoted, Mir. Win chell said: T haven't any rule but work"
