HORSES AT SEA.

They Can Smell Land Long Before II
Comes I'm Sight.
I. The ability of horses to smell land
but the equine must be credited with
this acute sense.
When a well known horseman OF
Philadelphia went to Europe some time
ago he took a blooded horse with him.
The animal was in a specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip
despite the rough weather. When the
horseman thought land should soon be
sighted, he asked the captain how far
the ship was from the Irish coast. The
commander of the steamer, in his usual
gruff manner, replied: "Your horse will
tell you. Watch him."
The owner of the animal could NOT
understand what the captain meant,
and he was not particularly pleased
with the answer. Finally, however.
and q couple of hours before land was
observed; the horse, which was a mag
nificent bay, poked his head through
the grating and,i stretching his neck,
whinnied loudly. H." -. =:
. sFhere you are" said the captain to
the horseman. Your horse smells the
land" The horse was like different
animal thereafter until the coast loom
ed up.
The captain in explaining the odd
occurrence said that the thoroughbred
detected the odor from pasture lands
that was waited far seaward and that
horses on board ocean steamers always
give the first signal when land is near.

PROTECTS THE SYSTEM AGAINST
CATARRH.

Hyomei Prevents Colds and Cures Grip
and Catarrh. Money Back If It Fails.
"An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.' A few breaths OF
Hyomei through the neat pocket in.
haler that comes with every outfit
will check cold or the grip at the
start, and prevent serious and lasting
illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and dis
eases of the air passages, Hyomei has
a positive action not possessed by any
other medicine or treatment. It is
pleasant and convenient to use; SIM
ply put 90 drops of Hyomei In the in
haler and breathe it few minutes,
four times day. In this way every
particle of air that enters the lungs
is charged with healing balsam that
kills all catarrhal germs, soothes and
allays the irritated mucous MEM
brane, vitalizes the blood with ozone,
and makes permanent and complete
cure.
A Hyomei outfit costs only 81, and
contains an inhaler, medicine dropper
and bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler
lasts lifetime and when more Hy-
omei is needed, extra bottles can be
obtained for 5Oc.
W. D. Heald gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it doea
not cure.

The Stomach Is Always Busy Form
ing Deadly Substances.

The Stomach Is Always Busy Form
ing Deadly Substances.
The body is factory of poisons. II
these poisons, which are constantly
being produced in large quantities In
the body, are imperfectly removed OF
are produced in too great quantity as
the result of overfeeding, the fluids
which surround the brain cells and all
the living tissues are contaminated
with poisonous substances which as
phyxiate and paralyze the cells and so
interfere with their activity. This fact
explains in part at least the stupidity
which Is common after dinner expe-
rience with many persons.
When food is retained In the stOm-
ach beyond the normal time, either be-
cause of it's indigestibility, the taking
of too large quantity of it or Grip
pied state of the stomach, these
changes are certain to take place. This
fact explains very large share of the
myriad symptoms which aff1ict the
chronic dyspeptic. The giddiness, the
tingling sensations, the confusion OF
thought and even partial insensibiIity
which are not infrequently observed a
few hours after meals in chronic dys-
peptics are due to this cause. Here is
the explanation of the irascibility, the
despondency, the pessimism, the inde-
scision and various other forms of men
tai perversity and even moral deprav-
ity which are not infrequently associ-
ated with certain forms of gastro-in-

CALIFORNIA; CHARM.
Few the Visitor From the EaS

Few the Visitor From the East
Finally Capitulates.
You will not find everything in south
ern California. You will miss the wide
stretches of green in the open places
far removed from the dusty cities, the
noble trees. the clear streams OF wa
ter, the blue lake nestled in among the
pine clad mountains. You will miss
that splendid miracle the change OF
the seasons, when your whole nature
comes into closer touch with the great
mother heart of nature than at any
other time in all the year. ~
You will miss much. But when you
have been here a year, when month
after month Of rare and beautiful
weather blend into each other, when
the sea wooes you and the flowers charm
You and the brown mountains beckon
you and the soft air soothes you, after
Q year has passed you find there are
some compensations for the lovely
things you have left behind you. You
come to realize that nature has done
more for this stretch of sea and noun
tain girt land than she has done for
any other spot on the globe.
You may have been charmed with
California when you came, you may
have been captivated after you had
been here year, you may capitulate
and consent to be captured by the
time two golden summers have stolen
over you.-The World Today.
