NECESSITY WILL BE MET

For years one Of the greatest neces-
stiles this city has known and for
which the people have clamored, but
without avail, has been a public com
fort in some convenient place. The
reed Of such a building or establish
ment has been apparent. and the lack
of such has been commented on by the
many strangers who visit Wilmington
At last, however, it appears the city
is to be accommodated. The Board Of
Health has taken the matter in hand
and all members are unanimous IN the
opinion that this is wanted. In fact
so anxious are they, they will ask for
a meeting with the Public Building
Committee Of City Council. at which
the question can be discussed and some
plan arranged for its establishment.
The Health Board idea is to have one
in the City Hail, or some place where
it will be easy of access and public
enough to let the people know where
it is. One for male and females will
have to be started. but as each will he
away from the other. it is not thought
both can be built at once. Anyhow, al
effort will be made to have one estab-
llshed and that as soon as it is possible
to do so.

CATARRH SEASON
Disease Most Prevalent in the Fall
Months. Simple Way to Cure.

With the cool nights Of fall, catarrhal
troubles in Wilmington are becoming
more and more prevalent, and q. James
Belt,-as a consequence, finds his sales
of Hyomei increasing.
At the first warning Of catarrh, one
should begin using Hyomei A few
days treatment at this season Of the
year will often prevent a serious and
chronic attack of catarrh.
There is no stomach dosing with Hy-
omei. The virtues Of it's healing oils
and balsams are breathed through a
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit. and in that way the medi-
cation penetrates to the most remote
cells Of the nose, throat and lungs
killing catarrhal germs whenever any
Irritation there may be in the mucous
membrane.
II you have a cold. or there is ans
offensive discharge from the nose, OF
tickling or dropping at the back of the
throat, II there is offensive breath, rails
ing of mucous, and smarting and irri-
tations in the throat; ifgthere are any
OF the symptoms that indicate catarrhal
troubles, begin the use of Hyomei al
once.
You take no risk in paying 81 for a
Hyomei outfit. as 2. James Belt gives
his personal guarantee that IL the rem
