There is absolutely no truth in the

Their whole time and thought are

1t is little wonder. then, that many
of these women, overcome by the

sorrow and give way to despair. Many,

iRRIoArlNe A GREAT DESERT.

The passage of the reclamation act
by congress in 1902, by which money
from the sale of public lands is to be
devoted to irrigation OF the arid re-
gious OF the West. was the result of
campaign Of education and agita-
tion that will mean in time the crea-
tion of new inland empire of great
wealth and productiveness out of an
absolute desert
OF all the hundred and twenty mil
lion acres of reclamation land in the
arid West the greatest opportunity
for reclamation and development ac-
cording to l.. X. Freeman in The Re
view of Reviews, lies in the despised
desert along the Colorado river"

agricultural achievements of the great

The practicabiiity OF irrigating this
desert of Colorado has already been

several shiploads of provisions, medi-

is causing the liveliest satisfaction
here and strengthens the conviction
that the fortress can hold out. The

must have been enormous and the lat
est reports having indicated that the
garrison was beginning to fall back
upon homemade powder, which is
entirely unsatisfactory.
The authorities have all along ex-
pressed confidence that the fortress
would not be captured so long as the
ammunition held out, and the replen-
ishment of the supply is therefore con-
sidered of most vital Importance.
The ability of vessels to enter Port
Arthur is taken here to indicate that

Bantum cried piteously for Warden

his right hand and swore never to vio-
late the law again.
The crowd was exceedingly large and
special guards tried in vain to keep the
people back.

PROTECTS THE SYSTEM
AGAINST CATARRH.
Hyomei Prevents Colds and
Cures Grip and Catarrh,
Money Back If 1t Fails.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" A few breaths of Hy-
omei through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit will check
a cold or the grip at the start, and pre-
vent serious and lasting illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and diseases
of the air passages, Hyomei has a posi-
tive action not possessed by any other
medicine or treatment. 1t is pleasant
and convenient to use; simply put 40
drops of Hyomei in the inhaler and
breathe 1t few minutes. four times
each day. In this way, every particle
of that enters the lungs is charged with
healing balsam that kills all catarrh-
al germs, sooths and allays the irritated
mucous membrance, vitalizes the blood
with ozone and makes a permanent and
complete cure.
A Hyomei outfit costs only On, and
contains an inhaler. medicine dropper
and bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler
lasts lifetime and when more Hyomei
is needed, extra bottles can be obtained
for soc.
Chas. Rhodes gives his personal guar.

to refund the money II II does not cure.
