Do NOT DOSE TIE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh by Nature's Own
mcthod--Every Breath 81 Hy
Omei BRINGS Relief.

Nearly every one who has
catarrh knows how foolish it is
to try and cure it by drugging
the stomach. Temporary re-
lief may be given, but a cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician
would have said the only way
to cure catarrh would be to
have a change of climate; but
now with Hyomei you can carry
a health giving climate in your
vest pocket and by breathing it
a few minutes four times a day
soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but S1.00 and consists of
an inhaler that can be carried
IN the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle Of Hyo-
mel. The inhaler lasts a life
time, and if one bottle does not
cure, an extra bottle of Hpomei
can be obtained for so cents.
1t is the most economical of all
remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only
one that follows nature in her
method Of treating diseases of
the respiratory organs.
Elliott & Harvey have sold
a great many Hyomei outfits
and the more they sell, the
more they are convinced that
ther are perfectly safe in guar
anteeing to refund the money
if Hyomei does not cure.

rather a battered condition.
Mr.. Stowe and Postmaster Ad-
lum were out east of the city
driving when they met Earl
Edgecomb with his automobile.
Earl stopped the machine in
order that they might drive
the horse by in safety. AS the
horse they were driving had
never shown any desperate
disposition when frightened,
they beckoned for Earl to go
ahead. No sooner had the ma
chine been started than the
horse took the bits and started
down the road at full speed.
The horse was soon tangled in
the harness to such an extent
that he was no longer able to
run. The buggy was wrecked,
but the horse escaped being in
jured, as did Messrs Album and
Stowe.

Sarah Hall Pratt was born in

184l, When eleven years old
her parents moved to White.
water, Wis. She graduated
from Rockford Seminary in
1860, coming to teach the two
following years in Fort Atkin-
son high school.
She married Geo. A. Pratt
June 22nd, 1864, in Whitewater
and for nearly forty years their
home has been in this town.
Mr.. Pratt died last Thanksgiv-
ing morning and no doubt grief
and loneliness aggravated her
long and serious illness.
She was a member of tie
Congregational church during
this period and Supt. of it's Sun-
day School for many years.
Mrs. Pratt was always in
tensely patriotic, and so ratur-
ally became one of the charter
members Of the Fort Atkinson
Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. She
was its Regent during the year
just passed.
A son, Edward Williams
Pratt, of Missouri Valley, Iowa,
and a daughter, Mary Pratt
Bright of Milwaukee; also two
grandchildren survive her.
Two sons passed away many
years ago. She also has two
sisters, Mrs. Joseph Blakeslee
Of Whitewater and Mrs. Chas.
j. Woodbury. of Oakland, Cali
fornia.
The above are the bare facts
concerning a most useful and
beautiful life. But those who
have known Mrs. Pratt are able
to clothe them with her unique
and attractive personality, a
personality never to be for
gotten. She was, pre-eminent-
ly, a friend, and numberless
people, both here and else
where, will feel a sense of deep
and individual loss when they
hear that she has gone. Her
work in the Sunday School, in
the Tuesday Club, in the local
chapter of the D. A. R. has
left its mark. But it was for
the quiet kindnesses, the help

that made the day more CHEEKY,

pleasant home that we all loved
her.

writer, she was zone of those

Tie Seven Wonders ST the World

ders Of the world, and like ma
my others, NO doubt, we hardly
comprehend what is ment by
the expression. The world has
many wonders, but what is ment
by the this particular express
ion refers alone to the following.
las described in the Pantheon of
the Heathon Gods, published in
1852, for the use of students of
every age, as follows;
1st. The Colossus at Rhodes,
a Statue of the Sun, Z cubits
high, placed across the mouth
of the harbor; a man could not
grasp his thumb with both of his
arms. Its legs were stretched
out to such a distance that a
large ship under sail might ca
silly pass into the port between
them. 1t was u years making,
and cost 800 talents. 1t stood
so years, and at last was thrown
down by an earthquake. From
this Colossus the people Of Rho
DIES were named Coloseuns, and
now every statue of any unusu-
al magnitude is called Colossus.
End. The temple of Diana, at
Ephesis, a work of the greatest
magnificence; which the anci-
ents greatly admired. Two
hundred and twenty years were
spent in fashioning it, though
all Asia was employed. 1t
was supported by l27 pillars 60
feet high, each of which was
raised by as many Kings. Of
these pillars 81 were ebony.
3rd. The Mausoleum, or Sep
ulchre of Mausolcuss, King of
Cora, built by his Queen Arte-
misia, of thepurest marble; and
yet the workmanship of it was
much more valuable than the
marble. 1t was from north to
south 63 feet long, almost411 #
in compass, and 25 cubits, or IS
feet high, surrounded with 60
columns, which were beautified
in a wonderful manner. From
this mausoleum all other sump-
tuous sepulchers are called by
| the same name.
4th. A Statue of Jupiter, in
the temple of the city of Olym-
pia, carved with the greatest
art by Phidias, out of ivory, and
made of a prodigious size.
9Th. The wallis of Babylon,
the metropolis of Chaldea, built
by Simiramues; the circumfer-
ence was 60 mile, and the bredth
SO feet, so that 6 chariots might
conveniently pass upon them in
a row.
9Th. The Pyramids of Egypt;
three of which, remarkable for
their height, still remain. The
first has a square basis, and is
l43 feet long, and 1000 feet
high; is is made of great stone,
the least of which is 30 feet
thick; and 100000 men were
employed..20 years in building it.
The other two, which are some
what smaller, attract the admi-
ration of all spectators. In these
Pyramids, it is supposed, the
bodies of the Kings of Egypt
lie inferred.
9TH. The Palace of Cyrus,
King of the Modes, made by
Menon, with no less prodigality
than art; for he cemented the
stones with gold.

General Leonard Wood is

He wants all soldiers taught to
swim. There are something like
fifty deaths a year in the en-
listed strength of the army

it as ridiculous for soldiers,

ford rivers or disembark from
transports through surf during
war time, not to be able to take

circumstances. The responses
from the army to his suggestion
that swimming be made a part

one line of hearty approval.

PARKER'S RElTERATiON.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The answer to your question in to-day's
Trbune-"Can this be true?'-has been made by
Judge Parker Yes it is true! In his address ITO
the Democracy TO the Nation" Judge Parker
iterates the charge he made against Theodore
Roosevelt and the administra tion-in substance.
that the President had made a corrupt bargain by
the terms Of which the trusts and big corporations
would not be interfered with proceeded against
by the government-provided they made liberal
contributions to the campaign fund of the Repub-
licau party
This mendacious charge by Judge Parker in his
speeches-a charge he knew to be false-has been
rebuked by the American people in such emphatic
way that never again will Judge Parker become a
factor in American politics, except a terrible
employing and solely depending on malignant false
hoods and Misrepresentation to win their battles.
With the more intelligent, sef-respecting and
conscientious American citizens truth is mighty and
will always prevail, and that is the reason why
Theodore Roosevelt has been elected by such an
overw helming vote OF the plain people who were
not only alarmed but most thoroughly disguised by
the evil course pursued by Judge Parker and his
supporters.
May we not IN the exercise OF Christian charity
think and believe that his judicial mind has been
citation with INSCRIPTIONS politicians? This coupled
with his ambition to become President. lost him
his senses. On other hypothesis can we account
for his pusillanimous address ITO the Democracy
