CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING
Hyomei Cures CatarIh by Simple
Breathing-Henry Evans Will Re-

A long stride toward solving the mys-
terry of curing catarrh was taken with
the discovery of Hyomei. In fact. the
percentage Of cures by this treatment
proves 1t equal to the final tests.
The folly of taking medicine into the
stomach to cure catarrh Of the nose,
threat and lungs, has been realized by
physicians. but not until Hyomei was
known, had they a practical method
that would obviate stomach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but 81
and consists of neat pocket inhaler
that can be used anywhere without at
tracing attention, a medicine dropper
and a bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles
of Hyomei cost but 50c

germs nd enriches the blood with ad-

Henry Evans, of 922 and 924 T Street

power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that
he is selling it under his personal guar

class to the gatherings of towns
up and down the road, and we
have seen letters from saloon
keeper of neighboring county

tabernacle meeting of church
in his city. Not once does these
clundestine meetings occur but al
every camp meeting, and the Off
GERS of the church organization
will have to cooperate with the
officers of the towns in which the
camp meetings are held if they

tolerate such characters in or out

the sooner they make an example
of one of these scarlet women the
sooner they clear the atmosphere

agricultural instruction in the
public schools would make teach
ing easier and solve many of the
problems of discipline.

the school will but utilize these in
terests and show the relation of
farming to other industries, to
trade, and to progress in all that
makes for mans comfort,i will be
quite easy to interest him in such
other subjects as history, geOgrA-
ply, and arithmetic. These sub

to him because he will see their

ADJOINING AUDRAIN.

PIKE-But this account was
printed in the Rails Co. Record:
Little Lucile, 4-year-old daughter
Of Orion II. Prichett, of Frankford
visited the family Of Press Hogue
at Bowling Green last week. On
the porch at Mr.. Hogue's residence
is trap door leading to a 20 foot
well containing 10 feet of water. 1t
is the habit of the family to lower
butter aud milk into this well for
cooling and to shut the door. This
latter precautiou was neglected one
day last week. Lucille and the
other children were playing on the
porch, when Lucille fell through the
trap door into the we'll. Bonner
Hogue, aged 16, saw her fall in and
at once called her father. Quick
as thought he picked up a lasso
which his uncle in Texas had sent
him, tied one end around his waist,
threw the other end to his father
and jumped into the dark we'll be-
low. Not finding the child on top
of the water he dived to the bot
tom, felt around for her, and as
good luck would have it, caught
her dress and arose with her
through ten feet of water to the
top. Not withstanding the fact
the lasso was cutting into his
sides, he called to his father to pull
him up above the surface of the
water, when he turned the child's
head downward allowing the water
to run out of her mouth. He thus
held her until ladder could be
lowered into the well, when he
climbed out with Lucille in his
arms. She was nearly drowned
and thoroughly chilled, but proper
remedies were applied aud she was
soon restored. This act of bravery
stamps Bonner Hogue as a hero,
and Carnegie should send the boy
one of his best medals.
