high water made them harder to catch
and the streams were not depleted.
If there should be low water next
spring It Is the game warden's predic-
tion that there viii be phenomenal

In 1905 there We're 1.759.00 fish
fry distributed in the streams. in adj

the Rio Grande railroad along its

Sharp defends this policy on the
ground that by stocking private ponds,
restaurants and hotels have been given
q source OF fish for food. and have
ceased to depend on fish caught In de-
iiance Of the law from the public
waters The effect has been a great
help to fishing interests, and now that
The private ponds are established, the

Commissioner Sharp says that he
has made arrangements with the In
dian agent at White Rocks to carry

that arrests can be made Of volntors

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE

HYoMEI A SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT Fob
cArARRH BY BREATHING INDICATED
AIR.
Ever since Hyomei has been known,
its formula has been given to physicians,
druggists, and, In fact, to ell intelligent
people who could appreciate the true
merit Of the combination OF healing
gums, oils and balsams, Of which 1t ID
composed.
Many leading physicians endorse BY.
omei and prescribe It for catarrhal
troubles. In fact, quite few OF them
use it themselves to break up cold and
prevent pneumonia. They regard 1t ~
a natural, yet scientific way OF curing
catarrh.
Breathed through the pocket inhaler
thar comes with every outfit. Hyom"
destroys all catarrhal germs IN the an
passaRe s of the tLroat and nose, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and effectually drives from the
system all traces of catarrhal poison.
No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are advertised
az ca<arrh cures. 1t is as superior tt
them all as the diamond Is more valuable
than cheap glass.
The complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of a neat pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper, and bottle of HyOmei costs
but 81, and extra bottles can be obtained
for so cents, making it the most economi
cal method of curing catarrh, as well a!
the most reliable.
"A. Shurtleff & Co. have sold grea
many Hyomei outfits and have seen suci
remarkable results from its use, thai
they sell it under an absolute guarantee
that it costs nothing unless it cures.
