COLD NIGHTS CAUSE cATARRH.
Everyone Should Use HyOmei and Nil
the Germs.

No other season OF the year is re-
sponsible Tor as many cases OF ca
tarrh as the spring. The warm days
and cold nights, with their frequent
and sudden changes in temperature,
bring the catarrhal "snufiles" to
nearly everyone.
The best physicians long ago saw
the folly Of taking medicine into the
stomach to kill catarrhal germs in
the head and throat. Air alone can
reach these germs, and today the
most successful physicians prescribe
Hyomei for all catarrhal troubles.
The germ.killIng aud health-giving
Hyomei, when breathed through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, penetrates 20 the most remote
cells Of the air passages aud respira-
tory organs, IL searches out aud
kills catarrhal germs in the head,
throat and lungs, soothes and heals
the irritated mucous membrane, and
absolutely drives catarrh from the
system.
Thousands OF testimonials like !
this Of Capt. Cameron, In charge OF
the Salvation Army at Berkeley, Cal, !
attest to the speedy relief given by |
Hyomei. Capt. Cameron writes: II
have been sufferer from catarrh Of /
the throat for number OF years, so |
bad that could not speak so as TO /
be heard at any distance. The first |

DELAwARH's SCHOOL FUND system.
State Treasurer RawIins Tells VermOuters
How Fuud Was Accumulated 10 Delaware.

The State of Vermont, having re-
Gently appointed commission to Sc
cure information concerning the es-
tablishment of a common school fund,
the chairman, Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer,
Montpelier, VT, requested State Treas
urer Thomas N. Rawlins of Delaware,
to inform them of Delaware's methods
of raising taxes for the establishment
of such school iund. State Treasurer
Rawlins, after careful investigation,
replied as follows: ''I ascertsin that
in 1896, an act was passed by the Leg
islature providing that money paid into
the State Treasury on account of mar
riage and tavern licenses be applied to
establishing schools in this State. This
fund continued to accumulate until
1929, when it amounted to $158, 100. 10.
I also find that Congress of the United
States by an Act of June, 1886, author
lied the surplus fund in the treasury
of the United States to be deposited
within the several States. The amount
ploced to the credit of Delaware, 1886,
751. 40, was, by act of Legislature, put
into school fund, which 1 believe was
accumulated from sales of school
lands in the Northwestern Territory.
These funds have been carefully in
vested until now the State holds ac-
credited to the permanent school fund
shares of bank stock with a market
value of $75S.172 There is a bond of
the State on which interest is paid to
the school fund for $156, $50. There is
also an uninvested sum belonging to
this same fund of $22, ,O35. making to-
tai of cash values of securities of 1896,
957. The interest on this fund together
with the annual appropriate amount
ing to $134, is distributed among
the several districts of the State &C.
cording to the number of teachers en-
ployed."

SNOW HILL ESCAPES ANOTHER FIRE.
But For Water Works Recently Installed Con-
flagratlOu Could Not Have Been Averted.

The large -four mill belonging to
William H. Jones, but under a five
year lease to Thomas B. Selby and
Charles L. Shockley, trading as Selby
& Shockley, situated at Snow Hill,
Md, was destroyed by fire Tuesday
night. The mill had not been running
for some time, but would have started
yesterday grinding the surplus from
Mill No. belonging to Selby &
Shockley. No grain was stored in the
destroyed mill, and the 300 bags of
shoats stored there were saved, as was
everything else of value, The mill
was valued at $4,000, and was insured
for $5, 900 in the Millers Fire Insurance
Co. Again the water works system
has demonstrated its value and eff
cheney. The building was situated in
the midst of thickly settled tenement
district surrounding the mill of Smith,
Moore & Hargls, and had the fire got
ten beyond control of the fremen a
conAagratlon almost equal to the fire
of August 7th, 1898, in which Snow
Hill was nearly destroyed, woulC
probably have been the result. Tht
origin of the fire is unknown.

Thrilling Runaway Accident.

The Misses Reese, daughters of
Larry Reese of Morgan, near Chester
town, Nd, we're in a thrilling runa-
way accident Thursday. They were
driving into Chestertown, and when
near Tree School Spring th cir horse
became frightened. They managed
the frightened animal until they came
in contact with large rope which was
lying across the driveway. The horses
feet got tangled in herope and he be-
gan to plunge. The carriage was up
set and the occupants were thrown to
the ground with such force as to iu-
iure them quite seriously. They were
taken to the home of Mrs. George B.
McWhorter, where they received med
ical treatment. The carriage and har-
ness were torn to pieces.

KENT'S APPLE BUSINESS PROSPEROUS.
Train Loads are Being Shipped From YYOming
and Other Shipping Points.

The apple business has assumed big
proportions in Delaware this year, and
information which has reached Sec
retary A. Wilson Slaymaker, of the
State Board of Agriculture, and which
has gathered at the busy Wyoming
shipping station, shows that the apple
crop profits will largely reimburse
Delaware fruit growers this year for
their losses sustained by the late frosts
and freezes which killed peaches.
Whole train loads of apples are being
shipped daily this week from Wyoming
and other shipping points on the line,
and the buyers and producers are
having busy days from dawn to dark.
The Red Astrakhan and the Early
Summer are the principal varieties
being shipped. They are going in re-
frIgerstor cars to Western cities. ST
am informed that one farmer in this
county," said Mr.. Slaymaker, ''and
there are others all around this Sec
tion, but this one in particular. had
thirty trees of Transparent apples in
his orchard, from which he did not
anticipate crop worth the picking.
The apples developed finely, however,
and he realized 800 from the lot.
This instance happened at the Ridge
way farm tenanted by Mr.. Cullen
near Camden.

.LEVYCOURT APPROPRIATION
DELAWARE SUNDAY SCHOOL
EACH SUNDAY SCHOOL Of CENTRAL della.
WAKE RECEIVES ITS ANNUAL STIPEND.
Follow Ante BelIum Law Which Gives TO
Each County $500 Annually TO be Distri-
buted Among the Several Schools.

buted Among the Several Schools.
The sum of$7.14 went to all the Sun
day Schools of Central Delaware Fri
day by order of the Levy Court, Each
Sabbath School received the $7.14
whether its membership consisted of
seven or seven hundred. The appro-
priation is made in conformity of the
old law of 1910, which has of late
caused some perplexity throughout the
State because Levy Courtmen objected
to voting away the county's money
for religious purposes after all church
properties, church farms, and church
educational institutions and dormi-
tories had been exempted from taxa
ton. Sunday Schools in New CASTLE
and Kent county also refused this
small stipend by vote of their as.
sociations of teachers and officers, be-
cause of the fact that they believed it
morally wrong to exact taxes from the
people through the public treasures
for the support of the Sunday Schools,
and particularly when the sum raised
was, after all, Insignificant.
Notwithstanding this admixture OF
the interests of church and state, there
seems to be no way of avoiding the
distribution of each county's $500, and
Kent's schools, seventy in number,
therefore received their respective
checks, made out to their superin-
tendents or secretaries.
1t is explained in behalf of the legis-
lators of the -bellum days that they
made the appropriation in the time
when it was impossible for the Sunday
Schools to raise enough money to sup
ply their pupils with Bibles. Many
people still favor the old law, ever
tholgh various methods have beer
adopt ed to render it imperative.
