HOW HYOMEl HELPS THE
HEALTH.
Kills the Germs of Grip, Catarrah and
Colds. costs Nothing If II Fails"
says ChaS. Rhodes.

Now that Hyomei can be obtained in
nearly every town and city in the coun-
try, il is possible to buy from druggists
a health giving climate, to be carried in
the purse or pocket. BY breathing it a
few minutes four times day you can
soon cure grip, coughs, colds and even
the worst and most chronic cases of
catarrh.
Chas. Rhodes has seen so many re-
markable cures made by the Hyomei
treatment, that he sells il with the posi-
tive agreement to return the money If it
fails to cure.
A complete outfit costs but 81. and
consists of pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks.
1t effects cure in the worst catarrhal
troubles and if breathed at the COM
mencement of colo or the grip, will
check it quickly and prevent sicknnss.
Extra.. bottles OF Hyomei can be obtained
for soc.
when breathed through the inhaler,
the germ-killing health-giving Hyomei
goes to the most remote cells OF the
throat and lungs, killing all the catarrh-
al germs, soothing the irritated mucous
membrane and vitalizing the blood with
ozone.
At this season of the year, every one
should have a Hyomei outfit to proven,
and cure catarrhal troubles, and ward
off attacks of grip, pneumonia and sim
liar germ diseases.

ORANGE rREEs AND FRosTs.

The closing decade of the last cen tury proved very disastrous to Florida oranges growers. Thousands of them saw the labor of years to naught in a night, and about half of their number retired from the fight showing that 50 per cent of the groves were abandoned after one of the great freezes.
 Those who have held on are trying to solve the problem of protecting their trees from a cold which may come at any time during the winter months, and which, they hope, may never visit them. A number of expedientst have been restored to. Tn some groves piles of fat pine logs have been placed here and there among the trees, ready to be lighted when q falling thermometer shows that the dreaded visitor is near. Tn several instances the entire grove has been surrounded by a high fence, slats being placed across the top to support roof of heavy canvas. A tent has been devised which can be put over the trees when it seems ne cessary and this has been tried in several sections of the State. Another device consists of a box for each tree, a small door being cut on the south side, through which a lighted lamp or stove can be put, All these methods to save the fruit, are, of course enor- mously expensive, and require a larger bank account than the average grower can boast of. Many of the groves, however, are owned by wealthy snon- residents and rich corporations, who are making experiments which may solve the problem that presses upon them. The golden reward that comes to the orange grower after a few years of toll, provided the weather condi- tions have been favorable, is a temp tation to continue the warfaN, even after seeming defeat. There are few lines of industry pay as well, and in addition, certain prestige attaches to the owner of paying grove Their number at present is comparatively small Florida Letter in Country Gentleman

In view of the requirements of the December first settlements, the per cent. call money rate in the afternoon was not unexpeet- ed and seemed to have no effect on stocks, which reached the highest of the day afterwards.
