TO PURIFY wATER.

nURE drinking water is one Of the
greatest problems of modern life.
The great centers of population
during alls ages have had their epl-
denies, though in modern life We have
found means Of checking them. The
great scourages Of ancient times were
attributed to the wrath OF the Deity
but we have come to understand that
human Ignorance was at the bottom.
The discovery of bacteria has led us
into many absurd conclusions, and II
certain theories are followed out we
begin to wonder that animal lie yet
survives. But many things we have
learned. and that we are beginning TO
proht by our knowledge may be in
ferred from the Increased longevity Of
the race. We know now that most dis
eases are contagious, and We may now
more accurately than ever before trace
this contasion to its source.
in the worlds history untold mil
lions have suffered death because they
have drunk from polluted wells or
streams, and yet it was not tin the
close Of the nineteenth century that the
real cause become apparent The
novice can now explain that while a
glass Of water may be as clear as
chrystal and be pleasant TO the taste,
yet it may contain the germs Of disease
and death.
Consequently. all sorts Of remedies
have been sought. Boiling the water
is the safest. but because OF the incon-
venience connected with it, the prac-
tce viii never become general. We
read that the japanese army is allowed
no water but what has been boiled. and
this may account In a measure for the
health OF the Mikado's soldiers. Re

used in streams and reservoirs was

met with little favor.

James Belt or Money Refunded,


The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an

Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. II is
the only method of treatment that sends

mote part of the air passages, a bal
samic air that restroys all catarrhal
germs IN. the breathing organs, enriches
and purines the blood with additional
ozone. and makes permanent and COM
plete cures of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.OO and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried In the vest pocket, a
medicine dropper and bottle Of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime. and
II one bottle does not cure, an extra
bottle Of Hyomei can be obtained for
SO cents It is the most economical OF
all remedies advertised for the cure OF
catarrh, and is the only one that fol-
lows nature in her methods of treating
diseases Of the respiratory organs.

The people do not turn TO gaze
When he goes by;
He tolls denied the joy Of praise,
No banners fly
In token OF his worth; his name
The busy world has never learned;
II Death should come tonight to crouch
Relentlessly beside his couch.
The world would roll on unconcerned.
Yet when his common task is done.
Beside his gate
There stands an eager little one
with arms that wait
To clasp themselves around his neck.
With pure lips that await his kiss:
And though his work may never bring
Him fame or wealth. what greater thing
May any man achieve than this?

VATE TRUST we have read the last

kin case The crime which
this fiend committed over six years ago

been sentenced to prison for life, and
there is hope that the prison doors have

net around this woman. California has
spent many thousands of dollars and
the skill Of her ablest lawyers has been
