vanquished by the arguments and or

master OF tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while pondering over his
defeat In the solitude of the garden he
was accQsted by Sir William Follrtt

Sir William, acquainted with the de-
tails of the matter In dispute, agreed To
take up the case and soon afterward

FALL CATARRH.
Changeable Weather Causes Diseas,
Breathe Hy0mei and Cure Catarrh.

The changeable weather of Fall is
responsible for a great increase in the
number of cases of catarrh. 1t is now
that Hyomei, the only guaranteed treat
ment for catarrh that cures without
stomach dosing, should be used in every
home.
For more than a century physicians
have been sending persons suffering
from catarrh to Egypt, Colorado, or
Australia, where the pure, healing air
would cure the disease. For one per-
son who could take this trip, thousands
have been compelled to stay at home
and continue their daily toll. To these
sufferers who could not change their
climatic conditions, we offer Hyomei
a method by which pure air impregna-
ted with Natures own remedies for
the cure of catarrh, can be healed by
every sufferer in his or her home. Brea-
thed through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, it's heal
ing, volatile, antiseptic fragrance reach
es h lungs and air passages as no
stomach dosing possibly can do. 1t
gives immediate relief and makes last
ing cures.
The complete outfit, consisting of
inhaler, medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei, costs only one dollar, and
extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can
be procured for fifty cents.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment
will do all that is claimed FORT is fonnd
in the guarantee under which Laurens
Drug Go. sells it, al agreement to pay
back the price, If the purchaser can

Some 10000 or more years ago the

followed. The long winter was gradu-
ally drawing 10 u close, and the great
sprlngtime OF the world was beginning
to hasten its influence upon an ice COW

these raging waters and deposited

All rivers which had glacial sources
were greatly influenced by the final
melting. AS the southern part of the
ice sheet rested over northern Penn

Hopi Indians Laugh at Modern Systems

When the paIeface laughs at the Indians system
Of irrigation and sets TO work TO show him how 1t
should be done is apt 10 be very much surprised
to find that the benighted Indians devices work
much better than his At least that is the way
1t has been with the Hopi Indians, in Oraibi, Arz.

To-day the Hopi irrtgates his corndelds in the
same way his fathers did thousands Of years ago"
said Mr. Epp, land while he persists in keeping to
it, It does not seem If he would ever be able to
accomplish much.
THE Hopi system consists in making series Of
temporary dams out Of sagebrush, and when civil
engineer comes along he ridicules them and builds
permanent dams. The first time the latter are put
TO use the civil engineer finds. very much to his
surprise, that the water which is stopped IS one
quarter mud A little later. TO his aInazement the
dam is half filed up with mud, and presently 1t Is
choked TO be useless. and he has TO admit that
the Indian has the best OF 1t.
Rain, rain-that is what their religion Is all
about. To have rain means that there will be food
and health and happiness for the tribe. which
numbers about two thousand. 1t is hard TO teach
the Hopi Christianity because, unlike most Ind
ians, they do believe in one Great Spirit, but
have a bewiIdering plurality Of gods. Nobody
