Cures Without Stomach Dosing.
Hyomei Cures Cstarrh by Simple

Hyomei Cures Cstarrh by Simple
Breathing. Anders Jacobsen Re
funds Money If It Fails to Cure.
A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing eatarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose, throat and lungs, has been real
lied by physicians, but not until Hy-
omei was known had they practical
method that would obviate stomach
dragging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists of q neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention, medi-
cine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but SOC.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle of air that en-
ters the nose, throat and lungs is
charged with healing balsam that
soothes and allays all irritation, kills
the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
Anders Jacobsen has so much faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh, that he is selling it under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give positive re-
lief.

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.

The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.
The origin of sewing cotton was told
at a cotton manufacturers meeting by
the head Of the great thread house of
Paisley, Scotland. 1t was discovered
in 1903 by his grandfather. who had a
little business in Paisley, making silk
Irvine for heddleS, which were used by
every weaver The silk came from
Hamburg, and I'm 1903 Napoleon caused
the stock held there to be burned in or
der to hamper British trade. The weav-
ers were in despair, but James Clark
conceived the idea that cotton yarns
could be twisted together to form the
twines.
The experiment succeeded, and from
this grew the idea that cotton could be
substituted for fax in the manufacture
of sewing thread and would not be so
coarse and harsh. He began the manu-
facture of the thread in a very small
way. 1t was at first put up in skeins
and had to be wound into little balls by
tie purchaser. and then Mr.. Clark in
vented the modern spools. He had them
made by a wood turner, half IL gross at
time. They cost him siXpence Il doZ-
en-. and he charged the purchaser of the
thread halfpenny for the spool,
which. however. was refunded when
the spool was returned. The ladies o.
Paisley used to come to his shop with
their spools and wait while he wound
the thread on them. From this small
beginning grew q great industry.

The electric fan is generally associat-

it's use for cooling and ventilating our
offices and living rooms, but it has its
uses in cold weather, and in many of
fees and stores it maintains it's posi-
ton throughout the entire year. Its
use in winter is principally to secure
ventilation, though at times it is very
convenient for obtaining a more UNI

The Social CAPITAL.

We do not think that either Washing
ton or New York or any other city will
ever become the social capital of the
United States as London is the social
capital of Great Britain. Washington
will come much nearer to it than IL
does at present, but the country is too
big to have social capital Hordes of
people will come to New York to make
money, to amuse themselves, to study,
to live their lives in the least restricted
atmosphere that the country offers, but
only very rich people will come here to
find and occupy a place in organized
society. Pleasant people will always
find pleasant playmates here. There is
no lack of good company for everybody
that is companionable. But the charm
Of New York for people who still live
elsewhere is not in it's society, but In
it's shops and shows, it's sunshine, its
eating and its drinking. 1t is pleasant.
1t grows finer every day. When II Is
