value of the public school and the duty
of each citizen in making 1t more effl-

Governor Aycock was the leading law
yer of his state before he was elected to
his present position. He has led in the
fight for better school buildings, more
efficient teachers, more money for school
purposes and equal school privileges for
whites and blacks. He has had to meet
fierce opposition and discouraging in
difference. He has won the battle and

Stomach Dosing will not Cure

ONLY WAY TO CURE cATARRH is BY
BREATHING HYoMEI.
Ask any physician if catarrh is BLOOD
disease and he will tell you that it is
diseased condition of the mucous mem
brane and that it cannot be cured by
blood purifiers, pills, tablets, or Other
forms of stomach dosing. The only sen
sible and scientific way OF curing catarrf
is by the use of Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four oil
five times day, through hard rubber
inhaler that is so small that it can be
carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs
and cure the disease. Catarrh can never
exist where Hyomei is used. 1t has a
two-fold action, destroying the disease
germs in the air passages and lungs, and
soothing and healing the inflamed mu-
cous membrane.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co., one of the most
reliable firms in Paris, are giving their
personal guarantee with every package
of Hyomei they sell, that it will effect a
cure or they will return the money.
They have had scores of reports of re-
markable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81 {,
and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of
Hyomei and dropper. The inhaler
will last lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for 5Oc.

A Large Enterprise.
TO MAKE BIG LAKE AT THE HEAT
WATERS OF THE MAGALL0wAY.

Prof. Harold S. Boardman of the
University of Maine, with a crew OF fiji
teen men, has been engaged in making a
survey of the Magalloway valley above
Aziscohos Falls for the geodetic depart
ment of the United States government,
to see how large water storage basin in
the valley would make. With a dam
made at Aziscohos falls about 500 feet
long and 20 feet high it is estimated that
it would flow the Magalloway River
back 20 miles and make lake larger
than any in the Rangeley chain of lakes.
This new lake is being talked up with
great interest, and is receiving the at
tention of several prominent men. The
Union Water Power Company of Lewis.
ton is much interested in the matter, 1t
is stated, and is doing everything in its
power to further it. 1t will mean a

what Roosevelt Did For peter


ALFRED Henry Lewis In "success."],
When Mr.. Roosevelt was in the Leg.
islature he raised the standard of revolt
against the bosses; his cry was 'Hon.
esty and public rightp' Among honest
men who followed his leadership was
Peter Kelly, a Democrat from Brooklyn.
This was day when Willoughby street
ruled Brooklyn. and honesty was
punished with death. Peter Kelly, at
the end of his term, was politically
destroyed. Then Willoughby street
went further, and, when Peter Kelly
sought to practice law, no clients would
go to him. No man would dare take
him so much as $40 fee while he lay
beneath the frown of Willoughby street.
Days ran into weeks and weeks into
months, and times became worse and
worse with Peter Kelly. Then he grew
i'll, for it broke his heart to see his wife
and children starve. A priest wrote
the first word of it to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The note ran:
"YOur friend, Peter Kelly, is sick, and
on New Years day he and his little ones
are TO be turned ont of their house."
Mr. Roosevelt-he is not rich-sent
$500. Then he went to see Peter Kelly,
who was very low.
The reform forces had just woH the
fight for the mayoralty of Brooklyn,
and planned virtuous celebration. Mr..
Roosevelt was asked to make the prin-
cipal Grafton at this festival of reform.
The white new mayor and the rest were
there; Mr.. Roosevelt began to speak at
8 o'clock. He told them of Peter Kelly
of his illness-and of their neglect of
him. They had left him to be slaugh-
tered by the boss whom, for their in
terest, he had defied. He was man
of courage, of purity, of brains; he had
lost all, and what had they done for
him? Mr.. Roosevelt criticised; he did
not congratulate; he told them of their
callous ingratitude to Peter Kelly, and
sent the words home like javelins. The
gentlemen of reform became conscience
striker: the new mayor arose and said
that on the morrow he would give Peter
Kelly place in the law department of
the town. The new mayor was faith
full soul, and did his best. Mr.. Roose-
velt received word from him the next
day. 1t said:
"Peter Kelly died last night at half
past s."
While Mr.. Roosevelt was telling his
story. Peter Kelly was dying: he was
,hrouded and coffined when the mayors
arrived.
