Statement.

In view of certain reports that have
been circulated in this vicinity,
deem it only fair to all parties inter-
ested to make the following state
ment, tO-wit:
I have carried more or less fire In
surance in the Continental Insurance
Company for about the last twenty
years and am Still carrying some in
that company. / have also been in
sured in the Farmers Union Mutual
Insurance Company of Howard Coun-
ty for about ten years. During that
time think my insurance in the Con-
tinental Company has cost me on an
average about twice as much as that
in the Farmers company. / still
carry some insurance in the Farmers
company and l expect to continue to
do so. The reports that have thrown
up my Farmers insurance and taken
it in the Continental are untrue, and
furthermore. have never, by word
or action, knowingly done or said any
thing against or in a manner to belit-
tile the Farmers Insurance Company,
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. have no criticism to offer the

to All Sufferers from Catarrh.

Rickert & Wells are selling HyomeI on
a plan that has caused considerable talk
amongst their customers.
The plan is different from that followed
by other remedies, but the remedy itself
is different also. This treatment for the
cure Of catarrh has such an unusual
record OF cures to its credit that Rickert
& Wells offer to refund the money If 1t
does not give the desired benefit This
is certainly one Of the fairest offers that
can be made and anyone who has catarrh
aud does not take advantage Of II Is doing
himself or herself an injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists Of a
small hard rubber inhaler that can be car
ried In the vest pocket or purse, medi-
cine dropper and bottle Of Hy0mei.
The complete treatment costs but sl0O
and as the inhaler will last lifetime the
medicine is very inexpensive. Many peo-
Pile who have used it write that for the
good HyOmi has done them they would
willingly pay thousands OF dollars.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be procured
for use with the inhaler at SOC,
DO not suffer any longer with tickling,
smarting, burning, eye-watering troubles
that aftiict those who have catarrh. Hyo-
mel viii cure you, but II you should not
find 1t adapted to your case, Rickert y
