KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root Of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use Of
pills, liquid medicines and so-called sys-
TEN tonics. Under such treatment the
germs of the disease will still live in the
passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and thor
ough way to cure catarrh. Killing the
germs in the air passages, It enters the
blood with the oxygen, destroys the mi
crobes In the blood and effeetually drives
from the system all traces Of catarrhal
poison.
Thousands Of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made by
this remedy J S. Nugent. treasurer of
the American Union Life Insurance Co.,
of New York city, writes: "Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of catarrh
from which she has been suffering for
years.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy0mei
to cure eatarrh is the fact that Rickert q
Wells will agree to refund the money Il
you say Hyomei has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists Of an inhaler that car
be carried In the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle Of Hyome. The
inhaler lasts a lifetime, and If one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyome
can be obtained for so cents.
Now is good time to cure you

went to the theater nothing would do

best way to keep your money from
getting rusty and what she didn't

Some Of the danes whose fore
fathers had walked over IN advances OF

to think that Mrs. Neucoign was

were for giving her the marble heart

the purpose Of showing you how much
below the average you are-in income.
That was where they were foolish

their tomahawks she simply laid her
self out to make them look like lot

her the next night with a spread that
made the DANES look like a free

half a column, while the danes was
let down for half a stick. Every time
they tried to cross her bows she
blanketed them and sent them or on
the other tack looking for a fresh
breeze. Matilda never had any trouble

in the millionaire class she
had been plain Tilly and the days
when she went to the county fair and
wore white organdie with blue rib
bons were marked in her calendar
with a large black mark. Matilda's
parent on her fathers side was cele-
brated for the number of worldly
goods that he did not possess. When
he felt like it and wasn't busy saving
the Government he gave weak imi-
tition OF q man working for living,
but most Of the time il was Matilda's
mother who kept the wolf at arms

took pains to impress upon her
daughter the fact that it was not only
ungenteel, but also very inconvenient

with an adult appetite into the bar
gain Therefore Tilly determined that
when she had arrived at years Of mat
rimonisl discretion she would look
around for a long while before she
finally settled down in any particular
nest for keeps. The parental roost
was preferable TO any nest that she
had TO maintain by her own unaided
efforts. Now it must be known that
Matilda was long way from being
the worst looking piece of humanity
that ever Inhabited a shirt waist. Not

number Of features and general attri-

but these members were distributed
over her face and person in such a
manner as TO secure the best possible
results from the standpoint of stu

1t follows as a matter Of course that
Matilda had the usual number of op-
portunites opened to her for entering
into the matrimonial state. Some men
think that the only way that they can
show their appreciation OF a hand

of lively games, upon which broke the
welcoming shrek of the snowplow.
And how the winter night was rent
with cheer upon cheer for the captain
as once again they boarded the train
with a fair passage ahead.
The major, by force, captured the
seat beside her.
I'VE can't begin to thank you, Of
course. 1t was a case of salvation, pure
and simple. And that stew-perfectly
deliciousl If 1 might ask you to ac-
cept my card"
AS she took the bit of pasteboard she
started and flushed; then, with a fiut-
tering apology, was off to adjust the
wraps of an old lady who was trying
to get nap. And when at the first
stop she left the train, escorted by
bodyguard six or eight strong, with
musical "Good-by, everybody-and bon
voyage!" over her shoulder, the major
felt that his advances had not been
warmly received.
During the two days which the major
and his son, who had gone ahead, spent
over the business which had called
them from home the younger man
found his patience tried by the inces-
SAINT illusions to "the girl who saved
our lives"
"a girl like that. Warren, would make
a wife worth havingl Capable to the
last degree! None of your esthetic-
ethics about her. What you can see in
that college creation you're so deter
mined to-"
IF you please, father, remember that

marks even from you. If you would

Comforting, to say the least. Win
dows so frosted you can't see OUT

How a cup of coffee now would cheer

The majors dismal reflections were
interrupted by a clear, ringing laugh.
Irresistibly he stopped by the seat OF
the fresh-cheeked. tailored girl in the
wide hat, who had been variouSly min
istering to the hungry, cold, tired car
ful. Now she had a youngster in her
lap, sitting his fretting with bites of
juicy orange. 1t looked inviting.
II am sorry to say" came the con-
ductor's voice from the doorway, that
the drifts make 1t impossible for us
to go on. We have sent for the plow
to release us. and 1t can probably get
here in two hours. AS all trains after
o'clock are through expresses, the
station is closed for the night; so 1
am afraid"
A chorus of groans drowned the rest
Of the announcement. Helplessly and
hopelessly they looked at each other.
The tailored girl alone, slipping the
child from her knees, held a moments
consultation with the conductor. Then
she called cheerily:
Il am organizing a foraging expedi-
ton. May i ask for volunteers, please /?
-Four men, l think-young ones. Well
let the rest of you help when we see
what's to be done"
The response was instantaneous. She
had to be firm in accepting the four
who had reached her first. Like a
captain, she managed her crew in un-
disputed sway, and before the now
interested crowd could grow impa-
tient they found themselves filing
through hastily shoveled paths into
the stations single building, almost
warm already with a huge fire in the
stove.

But his father was peering through

And she's-no-yes-she's getting on!

can of cream frozen almost solid. I'll

pondering, unable to keep his jealous

Then a burst of triumph from the
kitchen: "Oh, see what I've found!
