UNICATlON FROM
L. p. VAN WERDEN.
Offers to Refund Money If Hyomei
Does Not Cure Catarrh.

To Editor of The REPORTER:
| have been asked recently if the
advertisement printed in your columns
regarding Hyomei were true, where
offered to refund the money if this
treatment does not cure catarrh.
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
convenient size to be carried in the
vest pocket so that the user can breathe
Hyomei four or five times daily. With
this is included medicine dropper and
a bottle of Hyomei. The outfit sells for
81 90 and is most economical treat
ment, for the inhaler lasts a lifetime
and there is enough Hyomei for several
weeks use, while extra bottles can be
obtained for so cents.
] trust this letter will settle the
doubts that may have arisen as to our
willingness to refund the money for
Hyomei outfit, in case the purchaser is
not perfectly satisfied.
Respectfully yours,
L. p. VAN WERDEN.

Where The Money and people Go

Did you ever stop to estimate the
value of contributions made by older
settled communities toward the settling
and improvement of new countries? A
Charlton real estate man said to the
Leader few days ago: AS much as
100000 has gone from Lucas county
within the past three months to buy
land in Canada, Dakotas, Texas, and
other sections of the country, and as
much more will go out within the
next few months" These are good
speculations but the desire to get farms
have cost Iowa considerable money and
population.-Ch Leader.
When a man complains that he is
down on his luck" it is pretty safe
to guess that he is also down on his
pluck.

Now that cold weather is coming pa

Friends here have received word Of
the well-merited honor which has been
bestowed on Miss Mary Mitchell, of
Fairfield. She has been awarded the
Parsons College scholarship of four
years which is in itself an honor. She
ranks highest in her classes in the
high school, so she Justly deserves her
good fortune. She is the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j. I. Mitch
ell, former Garden Grove residents, and
she has a large circle of friends here
who congratulate her and offer best
wishes for successful and pleasant
college career.--Garden Grove Express.
Never worry over what some dear

says about you. Whoever will carry
such news, betraying the confidence OF
your mutual friend, will tell a lie,
for he shows he has a character to do it
and nine times ont of ten he is doing it
to greater or less extent right then.
Little criticisms spoken in the abandon
of friendly talk amount to nothing I'M

Decatur county is voting this week
on tax to build a new court house.
The objection is of course, the great
burden the taxation will be. But the
supervisors have pledged themselves
not to build one costing over $4,000
The idea that court house OF that cost
will be great tax burden is fallacious
Clarke county has been through all that
and no man was crushed by the weight
of taxes. Ours is all paid for, and
really the taxes aren't any lower than
when it was on the list. That either
shows the burdenwas too light to in
crease the taxes when the court house
was being paid for, or if they were
increased something else is using
them up now.-Osceola Democrat.
