 A new and specially valuable use for hyomei has been discovered, one that VIII be particularly welcomed by singers and public speakers.
 The free use of Hyomei, breathed through the inhaler that comes with every outfit. carries healing balsams to the head and throat. and strengthens the voice. E. c. Fowler, Druggist, has had several of his customers speak to him in regard to the good effects following the use of Hyomei for this special purpose. ana will be glad to sell 1t on approval to any singer, minister, teacher. or public speaker
 He feels sure that the use of Hyomei for this purpose will make many new friends for the treatment. If 1t does not give satisfaction. the money paid will be returned promptly and without question.
 The complete 'Hyomei outfit, consisting of an inhaler that can be carried in the purse or pocket, bottle of Hyomei and a medicine dropper. costs only one dol- lar.
 Many remarkable cures of catarrh and other troubles of the air passages have been made by Hyomei. and Mir. Fowler agrees to refund the money to anyone who does not find 1t a complete cure for any catarrhal trouble.
 There is no dangerous stomach drug ging with Hyomei; simply breathe It through the inhaler. and relief comes quickly. 6-tu-thu-su.

A QUIET SUMNER.
BY JULIA TRuITT BISHOP.

Copyright, 1908, by Daily Story Pub. Col We are fairly settled now, and I will send you a few lines, tired as I am. Mamma is delighted with the little old sleepy town, and I am delighted that we are out in tho country, and don't live in the town, and that we have a pony and buggy and can drive to town when we like, and that we don't have to go there unless we really wish to go. Personally would be willing not to see a town again in hunderd years. I want to sit under the pine trees over on that hill, or lie In the hammock and read, and let the June sunshine soak in, all summer long. have just read that last line over. It sounds poetical, but 1t won't be June sun shine after today. However, you know what I mean.
 In other words, I am going to take the rest cure, Nell and when you see your little sister again you won't know her. Think of it-not 8 glimpse of pen and ink or of that blessed typewriter except the few lines I am going to write you. No more of the coldness and indifference Of the city-not even a thought of the faith lessness of those In whom I trusted. l am going to live with nature, and try to grow strong and well, and forget that l ever had a sorrow.
 Oh, by the way. received a letter from MT. Grosvenor this morning. He tries to explain that affair about the Ferrand girl at the Willougby reception last week. wonder If he thinks I care? Really, the letter made me laugh. It certainly is absurd for him to think that 1t mat ters in the least to me what he does.
 This place Is too delicious for letter writing. Tho hammock calls me.
