INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
More Here To-Day Than There Were
When Columbus Arrived.

A popular impression prevails that
the Indians are dying out. Those who
have given the subject study believe
there are more Indians to-day In the
United States than there were when
Columbus landed,
The Indians were never populous,
They were too much at war They
roamed the prairies and hunted,
through the forests, but they never
had local habitations and were never
many In one spot,
The first actual census OF the ln'
dians was taken 70 years ago At
that time there were found to be 253'
AGA. Prior to that time everything had
been by guess.
Beginning with the count OF 1885
the official reports OF Indian pOpula
ton are as follows; In 1860, at the
beginning of the civil war, there were
254,20O. Twenty years later, in $780,
there were 256, 1877. In 1900 there we're
272,023. To-day, by count of the In
dian agents on the reservations OF the
country there are 2S4,000 Indians.
The Indian is not dying out, and
there is no reason why he should

mistaken in many respects, but yet

Simple Way to Overcome the Dangers

of this Disagreeablo Disease.
Catarh is an inflammation of the
mucou, membrane Of the nose, throat
and lungs, with amny annoying symp-
toms. In this climate there are few
who do not suffer from thi, disagree
able disease, often in a chronic and
dangerous state.
Fortunately, within the past few
years simple and reliable treat
men, for catarrhal troubles has been
found lIyomei, a combination of
healing and germ-killmg balsams,
that, when breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit reaches the tiniesl cells in the
respiratory organs, giving cmfwyp
respiratory organs, carrying its
healing and health-giying properties
to eeyry part where the catarrhal poi
son is present
Used in this way, Hyomei kills all
catarrhal germs, drives the poisons
from the system and heals all irrita-
ton that may be present in the mu-
cous membrane.
If you have the ordinary catarrh-
al symptoms, such as offensive breath,
burning pains in the throat, cough,
cold, raising Of mucous, difficulty in
breathing, huskiness, discharge from
the nose, droppings in the throat,
coughing spasms, etc, begin the use
of Hycmei at once.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

is sold by the Shackle Drug company
under an absolute guarantee that it
will cure catarrh or money will be
refunded.
