of the state which will not undergo a
rerating of insurance risks AT the an
nual meeting of the Illinois state
board. the organization of the Union
field men. and the Illinois Field club,
representing the non-union contingent,
which began yesterday at De,avan

some 500 waterworks towns in Illinois
under the jurisdiction of the state
board. and all of these have been re.
rated under the new schedule except
Moline. Springfield and Rock Island.
Decatur having just been completed.
There are about LOCO waterworks
towns of 200 population or over. and oi
these about 200 near the waterworks
towns were rated when these were
visited. Some of the Moline agents
are inclined to believe that Moline
will be rerated, Notwithstanding this
announcement. and if a reratinS is or
dered that it will apply TO all parts
of the city. except the factory district.

Moline club is TO be represented in
the foot ball field the coming season
which starts next fall. Al a meeting
of the board of directors of the club
Monday evening a petition was pre-
scented signed by many of the club
members asking that a foot ball team
be organized for next season composed
of cub members. The board of direct
Ors were very much in favor of the
idea and appointed a committee of
three to investigate the proposition.
The committee appointed is: l.. r.
Blaclman. c. L. DietZ and +. w Gould.
The matter will be taken up at the
July meeting of the directors and
decision VIII be made. There seems to
be no reason why the club could not
get a good team on the grdiron. for
the best material can be found among
the membership. Among these men
toned are Gilpin Stromberg, Clarence
IsaacsOn, William Wilson. William
Bartlett and other good foot bali play
ers. such as Carl Hammer, Harry Lind
berg, George Melin. Otto TrefZ and

NOW is THE TIME FOR HYoMEI.
Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now Than
at Any Other Season.

at Any Other Season.
Now is the time 10 use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make il so easy
TO cure catarrhal troubles. The HyO-
mel treatment. breathed for few min
utes three or four times a day in May
or June, will do good twice as quickly
as it did in January, and nearly every
one knows that used faithfully then
it completely ribs the system of ca
tarrh.
HyOmei is a purely vegetable prep
aration whose active curative proper
ties are given off when it is breathed
by the aid of the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. Ii destroys
all germ life in the air passages, puri-
fies the blood by supplying additional
ozone. and its healing, volatile, anti
septic fragrance reaches every corner
of the respiratory tract as no medicine
taken through the stomach can posi-
bly, do.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of n neat
inhaler that can be carried i'm the purse
or vest pocket and will last life time.
a medicine drOpper and a bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei can
be procured, if desired, for 80 cents.
At this season Of the year when ca
tarrhal troubles can be so quickly and
readily cured. the merits of the Hyomei
treatment should be carefully investi-
gated by everyone and complete out
fit should be in every home H. o.
Ro,fs gives his personal guarantee
with every Hyomei outfit he sells 10
refund the money if it does not give
satisfaction. There is no risk what
ever TO the purchaser of Hyomei.
