SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times Day and
be Cured.

just Breathe Hyomei Four Times Day and
be Cured.
III few years ago some one had said you
can cure catarrn by breathing air charged
with healing balsanl, the idea would have
been ridiculed, and it remained for that
eminent inventor, r. T. Booth, to discover
in Hyomei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost miraculous
cures of catarrh. and is today recognized
by leading members of the medical profess
sion as the only advertised remedy that can
be relied upon to do just what it claims
The complete outfit Of Hyomei costs ST 90,
and consists of an inhaler. medicine drop
per, and bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler for
few minutes four times day, and it will
cure the worst case of catarrh. 1t sOothes
and heals the mucous membrane Of the air
passages, prevents irritation and effects
compile and lasting cure.
In Belfast there are scores of we'll known
people who have been cured of catarrh by
Hyomei. If it does not cure you r. II.
Moody will return the money you pay for
Hyomel, This is the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to his faith in the remedy.

U. OF M. NOTES.

For the fifth time Maine Night was OBJ
served in Alumni hall, Friday evening,
Nov Sd, just before the game with Bates on
Saturday. Over seven hundred persons
assembled in the chapel, which was artis-
, tically decorated with ferns, cut flowers,
| and the usual banners and bunting. In the
centre of the room was Il large body of
| Maine men who, led by kittredge, 'o6,
cheered as only Maine men can cheer. They
| cheered the college, the evening and the
faculty, but the longest and loudest cheer
of all rang Out as the foot ball squad enter
ed, led by captain Bennett. Then the ex-
| ercises of the evening began. The chair
man was j, II. Huddllston, who presided
most pleasantly and efficiently. He
introduced each speaker, who, as he
ascended the platform, was loudly cheer
ed. Speeches, enthusiastically pleasing in
every respect, were given by Prof. Segall,
Dean Waltz, Il. A, Emery, '06, A. G. Ben
nett, '06, f. A. Parker o4, Mr. Harris of
the Law School, and lastly, Mr.. Mccoy the
coach, who has done so much for the Univer-
sty of Maine this fall This program was
made much more interesting by selections
from the band, orchestra, and Glee Club.
Then with sour Director" and ii ringing
cheer for Maine, the greater part of the au-
dience moved toward the gym" either to
dance or ''look on" The floor was crowded
and couples gOod-naturedly trod upon one
another's feet, but no one minded, and the
Maine night" dance was as great success,
as 1t always has been. Pullen's Orchestra
of Bangor furnished music for dancing,
In spite of the downpour which con
tlnued throughout the day Saturday about
thousand persons gathered on Alumni
field for the Maine VS. Bates game The
bleachers were crowded with both Maine
and Bates men, who waved their umbrellas
and cheered as though the sun never was
brighter. Ihegridron was literally nothing
Dut a mud swamp, and ling this into CON
slderation the game was a credit to both
eevens. To the disappointment of all no
score was made, and at clock both teams
trotted from the field, covered alike with
mud and glory.
The University assemblies. so popular
last year, bid fair to become permanent
institution Membership to the assembly
committee was made up cary in the fall
one from each fraternity and two from
among the ''non-irat" men. At a recent
meeting of this committee W. H. Burke
was elected chairman. The plans pro-
posed are along the lines followed last sea
son. The gymnasium viii be the scene of
the assemblies, the first to be held Decem
beI 18th. The committee are hard at work
and it is hoped as well as sincerely expect
Ell that these evenings will be the most
pleasant possible. MEG

TRICKS OF THE TRADE.

The Boston Herald some weeks ago told
how ffty-one prominent citizens of Maine
town received letters from distilling COM
pany of Cincinnati, O., informing them that
one gallon of pure whiskey had been sent
=. y. ID. to their addresses and that they
could have the same by calling at the ex-
press office and laying down $3.50 for it in
each case. The letters also stated that in the
cases containing the gallon of whiskey
were pipe and tobacco and some whiskey
glasses as present from the firm. The re-
clplents Immediately put their letters into
the hands of the sheriff and he presented
search warrant instead Of the $3.50 at the
depot and found the goods.
For years past many of our citizens have
received circulars soliciting orders for wet
goods, in some cases with a stamped en-
velope enclosed. Another scheme, tried in
this county, was sending a package of liquor
by express to fictitious address, Shortly
after resident of the town who is likely
to take the bait is notified by the concern
that this package had been sent but the
party to whom it was addressed had left
town and it might be had by the payment
of charges. Of course to be worked sue
cessfully this scheme calls for local agent.
In bill sent to this county for collection
Medford rum was charged at $15o per gal
Ion and whiskey ditto. This compound is
put into bottles of standard brands and sold
at the price of straight goods. Pocket ped
dlers sell the stuff at 40 cents for short
half pint, and their profits may be readily
computed.

Reported Railroad Change

Periodically We hear of contem'
plated changes 10 the Baltimore
and Ohio and Chesapeake and
Ohio railroads, and the following
is going the rounds of the press:
1t is reported that the Chesa-
peaEe and Ohio Railway Company
has about made arrangements
whereby it will obtain trackage
rights over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad from Staunton to
Harrisonburg, thence over the
Southern to Manassas and Wash
ington. The arrangements, If
made, will very materially lessen
the time between the National
Capital and Cincinnati and Chi
csgo and st. Louis. The distance
from Washington to Staupton
over the Southern tracks to Orange
and over the Chesapeake and
Ohio thence to Staunton, which is
the Chesapeake and Ohio route at
present, is 154 miles.
The distance to Staunton from
Washington, via Harrisonburg, is
40 miles, but while the distance lie
greater by way of the Southern
route, the grade is lighter. The
teavy grade from Charlottesville
to Alton and through the Blue
Ridge going west, and from Basic
through the mountain coming
east, lie a bugbear to fast travel.
Two engines are always used to
Pull the trains up the mountain
and the size Of the load hauled lie
regulated by this heevy grade.
The grade is good all the way
from Staunton to Washington by
way of the Harrisonburg route.

A @Blind PIG" Book.

One of the funniest of scrapbooks
is the "Blind Pig" book. 1t is not
full of blind pigs, but the young
folks who draw the pigs are blind
folded; hence the name.
Any blank book will do. Have
each of your friends shut his or her
eyes tightly and draw a pig on a
page of the book. The eyes must
not be opened until the drawing is
finished, and then the artist will see
the queerest looking thing you can
imagine as a result of his or her ef-
forts.
Each artist should sign his or her
name to the pig, which will look like
almost anything else but pig. The
book is a most interesting thing to
keep, and when its pages are full Of
pigs, drawn and signed by all your
friends, it is a curiosity indeed and
a treasure which will be Of interest
to you all your life.
