A sweet breath adds to the joys of a

Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven-
ter, placed his gun before a committee
of judges, he stated its carrying power
to be much below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result of
the trial was therefore great surprise,
instead of disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers of Cham

The missionaries tell me that the
Eskimos are a most conceited race
and that their opinion of their musical
gifts is very high. The first time a
missionary's wife played on the piano
for them they exclaimed, "She plays
almost as well as We" This conceit
of the Eskimos makes the missionaries
task very difficult. What can teacher
accomplish when his pupils think they
know more than he? The Eskimos do
not even attempt to argue, but simply
shrug their shoulders and say with
a supercilious smile, "That may be so
in your opinion, but And so, in
spite of nearly 100 years of religious
training, many of them are still only
quasi Christians, and the traveller may
still pick up curious bits of heather
folklore among them. The mission
aries have, however, undoubtedly
wrought wonders, for to them is due
every advance toward civilization
made in this bowling wilderness. The
Huskies have been taught cleanliness
to a certain degree.-Gustav Kobbe in

CURE CATARRH NOW.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL WINTER OR DIS
EASE WILL BECOME CHRONIC.
Many people in Bradford are
troubled with the symptoms of Of
fensive catarrh which usually ap-
pear at this season of the year.
Before the disease becomes
chronic use HyOmei and get com
plete relief from catarrhal trou-
bles. If you do not treat the dis
ease promptly it may become
chronic and almost incurable. Use
Hyomei now and cleanse your
system of catarrhal troubles, and
you will be free from catarrh and
far less susceptible to coughs and
colds during the winter.
There is no stomach dosing with
Hyomei, just breathe it.
