Simple Way to Cure Catarrh by
Hyomel Without Stomach
DOSinu,

1t is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to
cure nasal catarrh. 1t cannot 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 nose, throat and lungs,
kills off the catarrhal germs and rids
the system of the last traces of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of a hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the vest-pocket, medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, and
costs only one dollar, while extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents.
l.. P. Van Werden positively guaran-
tees cure when Hyomei is used in
accordance with the simple directions
on the package, or he will refund the
money. This certainly shows their
faith and belief in the virtues of Hy-
omei

Nothing is more important to Leon
than the good health Of her people.
How can they fill their place in this
busy town unless they are we'll?
No one trouble is responsible for
nervous ills, sleeplessness, general de-
bility, weakness, back-aches, rheumatic
pains, even ill-tempcr and peevishness,
than indigestion.
Fortunately, a combination of rene
dies, called Mi-o-na stomach tablets,
has been discovered that absolutely
cures indigestion and restores to health
and strength the whole digestive
system.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forms Of stomach weakness and troubles
that L. P. Van Werden's give a signed
guarantee that the remedy will cost
nothing unless it cures. Mi-o-na sells
\ for so cents, and is invaluable to any.

Our two children had severe attacksof
whooping cough, one of them in the
paroNsym of coughing would often faint
and bleed at the nose. We tried every
thing that we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our family
doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey

they began to improve and we feel that

Engineer Parsons Says It Would Take Mills

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Wiliam Bar
clay Parsons Of New York, ono Of the
board Of consulting engineers who signed
the majority report in favor Of the sea
level canal, testified before the Senate
Committee on Interooeanio Canals to-day.
Mr.. Parsons explained the look can q
system. He said that the board Of con-
sulting engineers, with two exceptions,
voted at the outset to have looks 1000
feet by 100, the reason being that each
member OF the board realized that vessels
Of the near future would be 900 feet long.
Subsequently three members who so voted
changed their views because they decided
to provide for safety gates' in addition
to the regular look gates.
He was questioned closely on the utility
OF the safety gates and replied that 1t would
be impossible to say whether the gates
would be strong enough to Withstand the
momentum Of the largest vessel going
even at an ordinary rate of speed.
might be made safe, but the cost Of build
ing proper foundations would be tremen-
dous. 1T would run into the Millions" he
said.
Questioned further by Senator Dryden,
Mr.. Parsons said that In order to build the
fight OF locks Of 900 feet in length, which
were the dimensions agreed upon as neces-
sary by all but two members Of the board
of engineers, and make tho locks perfectly
safe the expense would be 80 great as to
render the lock plan impossible.

Sugar and starch as found In ordinar,
food are intended to supply energy and
strength, keep up steam to drive the human
machine, and this they do il pr operly di
gested.
But when the digestive apparatus has
had too much work crowded upon it, o.
when IT becomes weakened from any
cause, the food decays (there is no Other
word 80 expressive) in the stomach and
intestines, and not only produces gas t
distend the stomach and crowd and weaker
the heart but promotes other disease con.
ditions which develop into serious liver
stomarh and sometimes heart trouble.
II is important that the food present
the sugar and starch to the stomach in
such form that they may be readily digested
and pass TO the nerves and blood to ener-
gize the machine without overtaxing the
organs.
Grape-Nuts food does this perfectly. 1t
Is prepared by mechanical mot chemicaD
processes, similar to those through which
food passes in the healthy human di-
gestive machinery, and Is; when taken
into the system, p~re-digested, soluble and
easily assimilated. 1t ia mnde Of wheat
and barley, and as 1t comes from the pack
age, is adapted and grateful to even the
weakest stomach OF adult or babe.
A lady writes from Woonsocket, r. I.
"Grape-Nuts,' she says. 'is truly a Won
derful food. L have been practically liv-
ing upon it for the last 4 months, and I
am stronger to-day, both physically and
mentally, than l have been before for
years.
For some IL or Is years I had lived on
sweet and starchy foods until my digestive
organs were almost worn out. and / had
been troubled for a long time with nervous
dyspepsia or indigestion in its worst form.
Everything I ate fermented and l belched
gas from my stomach most Of the time.
My doctor advised me to try Grape
Nuts, and so / began using it 3 times a day,
and 1t has done wonders for me. 1t has
strengthened my muscles, toned up my
nerves and rested my brain. The head
aches that used to punish me ha We dis
appeared.
Il have gained strength to work and
power to think. Grape-Nuts is worth more
to me than all the medicine in the world.

Administration bill Simplifying Proceed.
ings and Cutting Down Fees.
ALBANY, March l9.-Assistant Corporation
Counsel John P. Dunn and Charles L. Guy
brought to Albany to-day o proposed bill
| amending the Charter Of Greater New York
relative to the Bureau Of Street Openings
and the acquiring Of property by condem.
nation. The bill will be introduced to-mor-
row by Senator McCarren and Assembly
man Bowling, 1t is the result Of a very care
full study Of the subject by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Dunn, who has for many
years been the head OF the Bureau OF Street
Openings, and embodies the views Of the
Mcclellan administration on this subject.
The bill authorizes the condemnation OF
either an easement or a fee, as the Board
OF Estimate may determine. In all lands re-
quired for public purposes. Under this
provision it will not be necessary hereafter
to condemn the fee OF streets In which an
easement has already been acquired for
street purposes.
Under the proposed amendment there
Is to be only one Commissioner Of Assess
ment instead Of three. The actual work Of
apportioning the assessments Is Of neces-
sity done by the clerical force Of the Bureau
OF SlIecb SpCL1ukSI uud tLO IuICo Will .
erence to the laying Of assessments have
been so well worked out by the courts that
there is no necessity for more than one COM
missioner of assessments. This will very
greatly reduce the fees OF commissioners.
The bill takes from the Commissioners Of
Assessment power to fix the area Of assess
ment and lodges 1t In the Board OF Estimate
and Ap~portionment. This board, 1t is held,
ia better qualified TO fix the area of assess
ment. The Corporation Counsel, with the
concurrence Of the board, is to make q pre-
liminary abstract Of awards for damages
and file the same in the Bureau Of Street
Openings and advertise the same for ac-
ceptance. This constitutes. prior to the
appointment of the commissioner, an offer
by the city OF amounts which it will pay as
damages for the property teken before
any expenses are incurred. and any prop
erty owners who accept these awards will
be paid immediately and thereafter be e1-
empted from the expenses Of the pro-
ceedings.
The bill reduces the fees OF the commits
sloners and contains several provisions to
prevent delays.
