OfEer to Refund Money if Hyomei Does
 Not Cure Catarrh.
10 the Editor of The Advertiser.

To the Editor of The Advertiser:
 I have been asked recently if the advertisements printed in your columns regarding Hyomei were true, where offer to refund the money if this treat ment does not cure catarrh. I wish you would please print this letter in as conspicuous a place as possible in your paper, saying that we absolutely agree to refund the money to any pur- chaser of a Hyomei outfit if it does not cure catarrh.
 This outfit consists of an inhaler of a convenient hize to be carried in the vest pocket so that the user can breathe Hyomei four or five times daily. With this is included a medicine drop per and bottle of Hyomei. The out fit sells for $1.00 and is a most econo-' mical treatment. for>the inhaler lasts a lifetime and there Is enough Hyomei for several weeks use. while extra bot ties can be obtained for 50 cents.
 trust this letter will settle any doubts that may have arisen aNS to my willingness to refund the money for a Hyomei outfit. in ease the purchaser is not perfectly satisfied.
 l. wish to say emphattcally that the guarantee on Hyomei holds good. and I will refund the money to any dis- satisfied purchaser who simply states that he has used the treatment accord ing to directions and not been helped.
 Respectfully yours,
 No. 5. E. c. Fowler.

 A pension Is itself a charity. The idea lies at the bottom of the whole act The common meaning of the word pen sioner includes that idea and extends in ase to the notion of one who at taches himself to another or to an in. stitution as a dependent often with put doubtful cause It may be given Tor good cause or not. In any case It IS In the nature of a gratuity.
 The plea that the soldier needs pen sion to complete his record of honor able service is without basis. His mil itary record Is complete without that !, If it were not he could not get tho pension. the pension. If the Government desires 10 make public acknowledgment to each surviving soldier of the Civil War m way that shall constitute a real dis tinction let Congress devise some siIn- pIe but unmistakable decoration, badge, button, any simple thing, which he may wear and every man and woman he meets will know as evidence that he IS a civil war. veteran-who Is not pen- sioner. .

Few things are more weakening than frsquent vomiting spells. but It is . mistaken idea to treat a delicato stomach with pre-digested foods and ferments. The stomach must be made to do it's own work and this calls for . digestive tonic such as pr. wiiiiams' Pink Pills. With this treatment the stomach recovers tone, beiching of eas and vomiting ceases and the digestive organs resume their function of proper iy nourishing the body.
 Mrs. Sarah l.. Brooks, of No. lS Lin- coln Park. Chicago. Illinois, gives the following account of her cure from dis tressing spells of vomiting:
 For five years oR and on I was treated In vain by different doctors for Teller from . stomach trouble which showed itself in frequent and trying spells of vomiting. Part of the time was able to work and again I would De confined to bed for three or four days In succession.
 My stomach was at times % delicate that 1t would not retain even plain water. The spells would sometimes occur at intervals of half an hour, and would leave me SO weak that would be compelled to lie down between them. I, would have several of them during the night following day of such attacks Finally became so weakened that had to give up working altogether. weighed only ninety-four pounds.
 Last January I read about Dr. wif- Hams Pink Pills in paper and bought q box and began to use them. After had used half box found that could keep on my stomach the food ate. I was encouraged by this and kept on using the pills for four months At the end of that time the vomiting spells had ceased altogether and my weight went up to IA pounds. :, T think II sure would have died if 1t had not been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills, for I sometimes vomited clear blood, and for three or four days at . The doctors said different things about my case; one said I had chronic infiam- nation of the stomach, and another said my difficulty was cancer. hut none of their medicines did me ss good at all. Finally corr 'uded u did not have blood enough to dig my food and began the treatment u has cured me. can eat Anythi |; now, and have strength for all kinds T work.

 If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach. vertigo. ner- vousness. insomnia. or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic. get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They are sold by druggists everywhere.

On the day before the election, The New York Mail spoke of Twins as ''The Ideal Mayor" Fortunately. or un- fortunately. as the ease may be, the country lost the opportunity of know ing whether he would be an ideal Mayor or not. One thing, however, can be safely said-he is man of brains and integrity. If the Republi- cans had voted solidly for Twins. he would have been elected. If the Dem- ocrats had voted solidly for McClellan his plurality would have been a large one

SOLAR srEcuLArroNs.

The sun Is an interesting ana Wor- rying problem to astronomers. In a recent lecture Sir Robert Ball, an emt- -nent Irish astronomer, told his hearers that our great hsat-giver loses sixteen inches of its diameter every twenty rarf na ITS, which means a shrinkage 3- sss seet each year. This looks as Ii great luminary would go out n a sss, but as its diameter is set aassna,ax Sss, 400 miles it hardly need ea ihe ssurance of the speaker that si at.,l5 take probably twenty-four ...si.ion years to put 1t into the class of has-beens.
 Sir Roberts theory is that 1t is this continual shrinkage that Is the cause of heat. To make it plain. If we take q sponge filled with water and apply gentle pressure the water will be forced out and the sponge grow small Ter. That's what's the matter with the sun. Some force that we are not exactly onto is squeezing the caloric out of that body and thus reducing It's size. After a while there'ii be none of 1t left but none of the present gem eration will be here. And that re- minds us that the amount of light and heat received by the earth is so in- finitesimally small, when compared with the whole, that no one can find figures to express it. When we conn pare the area of our planet upon which the sun is shining at any one time with the immmeasurable space into which the rays must penetrate it gives us rather humifiating idea of our little- ness. If carload of wheat should explode and one grain strike a man in the face it would be fair compsri- son--perhaps.
 And speaking of the sun we notice that a German astronomer has been telling how things would be If the sun were red" That "if," by the way. has about as much work to do as any conjunction we have any knowledge of Tn this case. as The Boston Globe puts it, If the sun were red, roses, red ink and all other things that are now red wouidAr Arefiect it. So also would snow. the lily and all things that are now white; but these would, of course. be red. Everything else would swal- low up the red ligbt and appear quite black. Grass, for instance, would be black as your derby hat. and so would the blue of the sky, but the while clouds in the heavens would be reat'
 We suppose no astronomer or other scientist win try to change the suns color, and if any one has such an idea we hope somebody will get out an i'm junction at once. It might be that we could get along as we'll with a red sun as with the present one, If nothing else would be affected. but we object to black grass. black skies and the like. The astronomer doesn't say SO. but doubtless all of us would be black as coal cellar. That would be q good joke on us for our colored brethren to use. And the poets who chortie so melodiously about the beau tiful white snow and the serene blue sky would have to reform their vocabularies and fetch out new com parisons. Let the sun shrink as it k will. but we object to any chiAge in Nts color.

About the cheekiest incident in con nection with the late campaign in New York was Arthur Brisbane attending a meeting of Presbyterian ministers In order that he might deliver an address on .The Newspaper and Religion" Brisbane, as contemporary words it, lis the man who, for a good salary, grinds out the sophomoric slush printed as editorials in William R. Hearsts paper" We call 1t cheeky, because his object was to convince these ministers that the Hearst newspapers form a great moral and religious agency for the upbuiiding and betterment of hu- manity. As the crowning feature of his he declared that Hearst reflected whiskey advertising to o the amount of $50o,o0o in the interests of public morality. The very day this statement was made Hearst's New York American was advertising whiskey in big display type. The public will be slow. to believe that man who pub fishes papers pandering to the depraved taste of the mob will deliterateiy re- ject s500,0o0 a year in the hterests of public morals. Aseto that hatter. the public win be slow to believe that the Hearst papers will stop at anything that will add to his notoriety. We can unhesitatingiy set Brisbane down as the limit.

4 ROAD THAT MONTGOMERY MUST
 HAVE.

A ROAD THAT M0NTG0MERY MUST
 HAVE.
 If there is anything Montgomery needs more than another, 1t is direct rail communication between, this city and counties north and northeast of us. In days gone by the farmers of Talia- poosa and Co0sa made their way here overland with their wagons of cot ton and produce. They liked the city. its msfchants. the prices they re- ceived for their goods and what they had to pay for their purchases. Wno now sees people trading here from Rockford. Bradford. Kellyton. Alexan- der City, Gocdwater. sylacauga or any of that rsgiong They all go eisewhere' Why? Because railroads carry them to other points.
 A line from Montgomery northward would be of incalculable benent 10 th's city. It would go through country almost entirely peopled by white iarm- CTS and their. families, and wno ra'ss many thousands of bales of cotton. pc. aides vast quantities of hogs, cattle horses, and everything that man or beast needs to eat. They naturaiiy in' cline to this city. for it is their natural tradinx point. and yet we rarely see any of them here.
 won't some of our active ousiness men interest themselves in this matter! A railroad through that country would pay handsomely because people ana business are ready to hand. It will not be a case of people going to a railroad. but a railroad going to people. A road from this city to Gadsden would put new face on things here. and at every point touched by such a road. The wonder is that men seeking good in- yestments have not long ago seen the advantages of such a railroad and built 1t.
 Montgomery must have close rail communication with our friends to the north and northeast of us. It has been delayed too long. Now is the time to begin the. agitation of the sub ject, and if properly followed up. the work can soon be started.

 Lexington Herald.
 To Kentuckians one of the most i'm. portant elections held was the contest in Breathitt County. where the Hargis regime. masquerading as Democrats, have controlled Jackson and Breathitt County with rod of iron. Lawless- ness has there been rampant. assassina- ton frequent. With the insolence of Tweed, those accused by popular opinion of these crimes have asked The p people of .Breafhitt County % have answered by defeating the so-calied Democratic ticket. which was in no sense a Democratic ticket, simply using that name because they had control of the Democratic organization, and elect ed the Fusion ticket by a majority which, es far as could be learned last night, will run over 500.
 Neither the fight in Philadelphia nor in Cincinnati was more bitter nor as dangerous for those who took part in 1t as the fight in Breathitt. To the Flu sion ticket and those who led 1t to vic- tory the people of the mountains, the people of the State, owe praise and con- graduation.
 This election means much to the peo- pie of Breathitt. It means the dawn ing of a brighter era, the enforcement of the law. the safety of life and prop erty. The result in neither Phiiadel- phia nor Cincinnati, New York nor any other city meant as much to the resi- dents of that city as did the result of this election to the people of Breathitt. To them today we extend the congrat- ulations of the people of the Blue Grass.

John Armstrong; Hero.

New Orleans Morning Star.
 Our excellent contemporary, The Plea along the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road, pays a handsome and deserved tribute to John Armstrons. boss of the bridge crew near Chef Menteur. When John Armstrong was informed, by tele- phone, as the telegraphic wires were down, that his services were urgently needed in repairing damages, he in- stantly at night. in raging tempest, clear the track. Superintendent Mar shall is loud in praise of this act. Like President Roosevelt. John Armstrong does things"
 The Picayune says:
 This same John Armstrong. who Is in charge of the bridge crew near Chef Menteur, is totally uneducated. He cam not write. and when 1t comes to read ing. the best he can do is to slowly decipher q train order If he was educated, any of the /big bridge com panies would pay him ;26'OSO a year the Louisville ano Nashville considers him.
 We do not precisely take that view. John Armstrong, as he Is, is a priceless man. Had he been educated. he might have been less prompt and alert. He Is like General Forrest. in that respect. somewhat. Forrest could read 'and vet he is considered. in high quarters inc best commander on both sides of the war between the States. He knew how to win victories and reap their fruit, and this was not the case with some other educated generals of higher rank. It is contended. by General Beauregard and other West Point graduates. in the old memoris. that For rest needed only military culture to have been perhaps the greatest of Con federate ckieftains in a martial sense. We take issue with that statement, although we may seem impertinent. The probabilities are that had Forest been scientifically trained he would have been a partial failure. Be that as 1t may. John Armstrong Is a hero. and none the less because his reading and writing are imperfect

The result of the election in Phila- deiphia and Pennsylvania should be joyfuiiy received by good people every where. The Democrats soiidly united with members of the Republican Party who were sick of the corruption of the old Quay machine and the State and city can now hold their heads up and boast of freedom from bossism and grafters. The combination is made up of men who. on other issues, will go back to their original political align ments. but they have the proud con- sciousness of feeling that in the pres ence of danger to their country they have no politics beyond that of the public good.

Judging by the vote cast in Indian Territory on the question of State or- ganization and constitution. 1t would seem that there is no great desire for separate Statehood. The bill for a State composed of Oklahoma and In- dian Territories will be pressed. and all effort for two States abandoned. The people out there are entitled to Statehood, particularly when they num- Der more than million and half, and are as enlightened and progressive as those .of any of the older States.

The Brooklyn Eagle. which vigorous ly supported the candidacy of Mayor Mcclellan, says of the three mayoralty candidates in Greater New York: The dramatic feature of the fight has been the candidacy of William Randolph Hearst. The cleveres& speeches have been made by William M. Wins. The most consistently dignifed attitude has been maintained by Mayor Mcclellan" In this connection it Is interesting to recall that Greater New York has had only three Mayors. as follows: Robert A. vanwyck, Tammany, who defeated Low. Tracy and George in 1897; Seth Low. fusion, who defeated Edward NJ. Shepard in 1901. and George B. Me- Clellan, Tammany. who defeated. Seth Low in 1908.

Columns have been published in the newspapers in recent months recount ing the fueds, murders and assassina- tions in Beathitt County. Kentucky. A family of the name of Hargis had con- trol of affairs and being in power con- itrolled the political machinery. They and their retainers posed as Democrats. but they were simply out for their own benefit. At. the election last Tuesday, a ticket for county offices was put out against the Hargises and won by a handsome majority. The atmosphere hereafter will be clearer. and living be more comfortable in that mountain county of Kentucky.
