So many children. grown as well as

WARM WEATHER HELPS
Get Rid of Your catarrh by Using HyO-

Everyone who has catanh should
take advantage of the warm weather to
get rid OF this annoying and distressing
disase. The right treatment, faithfully
followed, in May or June, viii benefit
much more quickly than in the winter
and early spring.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head and throat by taking drugs into
the stomach. 1t cannot be cured in that
manner. The only way in which this
too common disease can be cured is
through direct application that will
kill the germs of catarrh and prevent
their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that aceomplishes this. 1t
il the simplest, most pleasant, and the
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
ever been discovered
When using Hyomei every particle
of air that enters the air passages of
the throat and head and goes into the
lungs, is charged with healing balsams
that kill the catarrhal germs and soothes
and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement, and in
short time, especially if used at this
season of the year, there will be no fur

THE ASSESSORS WORK.

The work of the board of assessors of
the city of Barre, which has now been
brought to a close for the year, seems
to have been done with despatch and
precision. The assessing has been done
within the limit allowed, with five days
to spare, while accuracy has been one
of the watchwords of the board. In
city of the makeup OF Barre there
is much likelihood of error in name or
location because portion of the popu-
lation is of the shifting order and be-
cause of the chance for mixing up in
the photography of the names. Here
tofore great difficulty before the asses
sors has been the confusion in names
of persons liable to be taxed. And
that confusion has led to difficulties be-
fore the board Of civil authority and
the city council. This the listers have
endeavored TO obviate. How well they
succeeded viii be known when the time
comes for the collecting Of the taxes.
The cost OF the work has been under
that of year ago because clerical aid
has been dispensed with except on oc-
casions when absolutely required.
