There is no offensive or dangerous
stomach dosing when Hyomel Is used.
This reliable remedy for the cure Of
diseases of the respiratory organs is
breathed through q neat pocket in

that the air taken into the throat and
lungs is like that Of the White Noun
tains or other health resorts, where
hay fever is unknown.
The fact that Woodbridge s. Purdy
agree to refund the money to any
hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei
without success, should inspire conf
dence In Its power to effect a cure. A
complete outfit costs only o. and extra
bottles but so cents.

MACHINE TO DARN SOCKS.

to any sewing machine. Then In a
few minutes the tired housewife darns
the whole lot better than she could
have done in hours of weary labor the
old way.
The darner consists of a metal band
fitted with arms and a pronged edge.
This is set into the stocking surround
ing the worn place. Then 1t is at.
tached to the machine, which has been
fitted with the thread that is to be
used. The darner is moved back and
forth as the machine moves, which
weaves the stitch work. 1t forms Q
lock-stitch, smooth and even.
