RIGHT TIME TO CURE CATARRH.
L. p. Van Werden Guarantees Hyo-
mel Will Cure If Used Now,

The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled, is the best
time of the whole year to treat
catarrhal troubles with the expectation
of complete and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh, or even a
tendency to catarrh, should use Hyomei
now, for the benefit will be gained
twice as quickly and the disease
thoroughly eradicated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and includes neat pocket
inhaler, a medicine dropper, and sut1i-
Gent Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. The inhaler lasts lifetime, and
it more Hyomei is needed, extra bottles
can be obtained for so cents.
In Leon there are scores of we'll
known people who have been cured of
catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure
you, L. P. Van Werden will return your
money. This is the strongest evidence
he can offer as to his faith in the
remedy.

Vacation time is almost here and the
matter of providing employment for the
children forces itself upon the atten-
tion of every household where children
are found. In the cities it becomes a
subject of public discussion and some
of the most useful charities of the pres
ent day are those which are devoted to
securing for the children at least occa-
sional relief from the distressful con-
ditions that prevail in congested dis
tricts. Vacation schools, the multiple
cation of city parks, and fresh air ex-
cursions are some of the ways the city
people mist take to give children there
small portion of the blessings of fresh
air and sunshine that are the lot of
every child in Osceola. But although
no such necessities press upon us there
is still need to provide a pleasing
alienation of useful work and health
full recreation for the summer months.
One Of our exchanges says, "The long
idle days of the summer are the worst
season of childhood and youth" and the
statement is none too strong. Osceola

Odd Twins.

G. o. Bradley hands us paper print
ed at Madison, Mo-, his former home
containing the following curious
item:
~ have harness mare that foaled
twin colts one day last week. One is a
fine female horse colt and one is male
mule colt. The horse colt measured 3
feet and inches at birth and the mule
colt 2 feet and 8 inches. Both are per-
feet colts and as spry as kittens. Now
if any of your readers know of case
like this would like to hear from them.
If.anyone doubts this ask H. 7. Engle,

Talking Eyes.

Poets must have about seventeen
senses that are denied to the rest of
US. They talk about laughing eyes,
but, as a matter Of fact, if an ordinary
person were to hear pair Of eyes ut
ter merry ha, ha! he wouldn't know
whether to send for the eye doctor or
call up the bug house.
When the poet said to the girl,
Speak to me only with thine eyes," it
wasn't because he was tired Of hear
ing the sound Of her musical voice, al
though the foxy gentleman might have
been afraid that she was going to say
No whereas If she talked only with
her lamps he could interpret the an
swer any way he saw fit.
Youth Is romantic, and doubtless the
girl thought it was a fine sentiment.
However, we can see where an accom-
plfshment like that In after life could
prevent lots Of suffering. Suppose a
married man could get his wife to talk
to him that way. He could let her 20
on for few hours and then turn out
the gas and tell her to proceed and en-
Joy herself.

Americans pay more for transporta-
tion of mail than all the other peoples
of the world combined. In the last year
for which comparative figures are avail

railroad transportation of mail alone.

paid for transportation by all means
only s37,OOO,0OO or $4,000 less than
we alone paid. Freight and passenger
rates have gone down. They are cheap

pay the railroads about half the rates
they charge the government and yet

pay for the transportation of mail just
as much as it paid thirty years ago,
while all other transportation rates
have greatly decreased in that tine.
