Catarrhal Troubles Prevalent

SPRING MONTHS CAUSE SICKNESS.
BREATHE HYoMEI, AND BE CURED OF
CATARRH.
Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other time OF
the year. The sudden changes that come
during the spring months are prOduc-
tive OF many cases of catarrh that with
out proper treatment will become
chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient, and
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh, is Hyomei. Simply
put twenty drops in the little pocket in.
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times day.
No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con.
coctiOns are taken into the system when
Hyomei is used. Breathed through the
inhaler, the balsamic fragrance of Hyo
mel penetrates to the most remote cells
of the nose and throat, and thus kills
the catarrhal germs, heals the irritated
mucous membrane, and gives complete
and permanent cure.
Thousands of testimonials have beer
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. J. S. Nugent, treasurer
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, writes: "Hyomei has completely
cured my daughter of catarrh. from
which she has been a sufferer for years. '
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last
lifetime and there is sufficient Hyome
for several weeks treatment, it is the
most economical catarrhal remedy
known. Extra bottles can be procured
for fifty cents. Ask F. A. Shurtleff &
Co. to show you the strong guarantee
under which they sell Hyomei.

Governor Folk ON LIQUOR License,

(From his address to the Missouri Legislature. !
have heretofore spoken to you of the
pernicious effects of the state licensing
the liquor traffic in any form. The So
called high license law should be amend
ed so as to eliminate the licensing of the
liquor traffic by the state. If the liquor
business is an evil thing it should not be
permitted at all. Certainly the law
should not sanction such business and
by licensing it make the state partner
in the iniquity. Stripped of all useless
verbiage, this act levies tribute on all
debanchery and crime; in this respect it
is indefensible from any moral stand
point. IL it be insisted that men will
drink and sell liquor anyway and the
state may as we'll profit by their appe-
tite and lust for gain, it could with equal
force be argued that men will kill and
therefore the state should license murder
in certain forms and in certain places,
SO as to profit by this weakness of man
kind.
II it be said that the licensing of the
liquor traffic be justifiable when the
proceeds of the license 60 to help main
tain our worthy institutions, the answer
should be: The state Of Missouri is
wealthy enough to support adequately
its institutions without making them
owe their existence to the licensing of a
business that degrades the youth and
pOllutes the morals of men. Fit be
right to maintain our institutions in part
by the licensing of the wrong, the same
principle would justify the support of
our institutions wholly, and even the
state government from the fruits of
legalized crime. The government of
Monte Carlo draws its sustenance from
the licensing of the gambling table, but
such an idea is abhorrent to every Mis-
sourian. II it would be wrong to sup
port the state government by putting
price on evil, 1t ia wrong to license the |
liquor traffic at all "''s is not the de- |
mand o. but of !!

that Barchard was in town as late as 10
O'Clock the night before, but there Is no
trace of his movements after that hour.
