The middle man. or dealer is the gainer to a considerable degree. although he is not responsible altogether for the high prices of foods. He must meet the consumers fancies, he must make his goods look attractive and he must lay them at the door of the house. All of which costs money, and of course, the consumer pays the freight.

The One Medicine
 Old People need

MT. Josiah Zeitlia, l01 years old July, 1906, lives with hls daughter, Mrs. Isaac Krlnsky, Brooklyn.
 NIT. Zeit1in was a prominent business man in his native land, Poland, many years. in 1882 he retired and came to +his country.
 He says that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has prolonged his life, and is the medicine to restore health and vigor in old people.
 He writes
 'sAlthough was 101 years old on July 3d last, l still feel that 1 am good for several years. 1 was born at Lodz, ill Poland, and after lengthy business life in the old land came to this country in 1882 to reside with my daughter. I have used Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey for many years and find 1t very beneficial. It invigorates and gives me strength. l feel that it has helped me to live the 101 years. lt seems to be the very medicine old people need to restore their failing health and strength. Josiah Zeitlin, 136 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.--August 10, 1906.
 Mfr. Zeitlin is one of the many thousands of men and women throughout the United States who owe their vigor, strength and long life to tle great Tonic stlmuIant and Renewer of Youth, Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and join in extolling its merits.

AN APPRECIATION OF
A FINE YOUNG MAN

The organist, pianist or accompan-
list seldom gets his or her full share
of praise in the ordinary newspaper
write-up of musical events.
The accompanist especially is rath-
er overshadowed by the apparently
chief performer, and is often entirely
matter of fact anybody who knows
anything about it knows that as much
depends on the organist or accompan-
list as on the leading part.
Then the piano or organ does no,
appeal to as many, perhaps, as the
song. 1t is apt to be more technique
and the country newspaper writer
knows less about its merits and the
way TO handle comment. 1t is GER
tainly through no intention that the
performer at the instrument is often
lightly mentioned or overlooked by
the home paper.
The Record man was discussing
the subject the other day with bust
ness man when the name of George
Sampson, the organist, came up.
In the course of the conversation
the business man, who was in a mood
of reverie, said 81 heard him play
the pipe organ one night at recital

mony and expressive melody, readily

sensuality.
Amidst the storm of applause he
rose, tall. straight and good to look
upon. His almost boyish face-clean-
cut-a veritable exponent of the
beautiful music that he plays. Ant

Simple Way to Cure Catarrh by Hy.
Omei Without Stomach Dosing.

1t is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to
cure nasal catarrh. 1t can not be
cured except the catarrhal germs that
are present in the nose, throat and
lungs have first been killed.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smarting and raw membrane of
the air passages in the most, throat
and lungs, kills off the catarrhal
germs and rids the system of the
last traces of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit con-
sists of hard rubber inhaler which
can be carried in the purse or vest
pocket, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei, and costs only one
dollar, while extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Mitchell & Egbers positively guar
antee a cure when Hyomei is used
in accordance with the simple direc-
tions on the package, or they will re-
fund the money. This certainly shows
their faith and belief in the virtues of
Hyomei
