CARD From F. E, BRYAN.
His Liberal Offer to Treat Worst
Case OF Catarrh in Randolph.

To the Editor
/ have such an unusual offer to make TO
your readers, one that will be OF the great
est value to them, that / hope you viii
give this letter prominent location.
For some time have had an opportuni-
t. to watch the results following the use
OF hyomei, a treatment for catarrh that
cures by breathing medicated air, aoso-
Iutely without any stomach dosing. The
results have been so remarkable that feel
justified in making public offer to treat
the worst case of catarrh in Randolph
with the understanding that If Hyomei
does not cure, it will cost absolutely
nothing.
People who have spent great deal OF
money with catarrh specialists, deriving
but little benefit, have seen almost imme-
date good results from the use OF hyomei'
and continued treatment with this remedy
has resulted in a complete and lasting
cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
- and consists OF an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. Should
this not be enough for cure, extra bottles
Of ayomei can be obtained for 80 cents.
Compare this small expense with the ices
charged by specialists, and remember we
Guarantee the treatment will cost nothing
unless 1t cures.
hope this offer will be accepted by
many OF your readers.
Very truly yours,

A True Ghost Story.

A lady I met in Ireland related the
following facts to me just as they Oc-
Cured. She was staying at a house
near Bardon, County Cork. One even
ing she was walking up the long car
rage drive to the house-it was bright
moonlight and nearly as light as day
when she saw a tall figure coming
down the narrow footpath beside the
drive" toward her. On coming closer
she saw it was man dressed all in
black, wearing tall silk hat, and she
wondered who it could be. His head
was bent forward so that the face was
in shadow, but as they came close to
each other he raised his head and look
ed at her and showed the most horrible
face imaginable. With gasp of ter
ror, she stepped off the path, and at
the same moment he did the same and,
putting out a clawlike hand, touched
her arm, and as she Shrieked out in
fear he completely vanished. She did
not see him go, but he dissolved like
mist. His face was not like that Of
human being, and the horror of it was
quite indescribable. Her arm that the
specter touched was paralyzed and re-
NAMED so for two weeks after. This
apparition had been seen by other peo-
pie, but only at a distance, and but
few believed the stories current about
the place being haunted. Re-

JOCKEYING THE PURE FOOD BILL

Everything seems to progress at
Washington but the pure food bill, and
there are signs that this much needed
measure is being deliberately held up
till the last hours of the session, when
it will go over for lack of time The
senate has done its duty, but the house.
according to one correspondent, seems
to have built a cofferdam about the
bill. around which the stream Of leg
islation flows.
Timidity among congressman is the
explanation. There is such strong
they dare not defeat it. 1t comes from
honest manufacturers, from retailers,
and from consumers who have awak-
ened to the danger that turks in poi
sonous colors and noxious drugs in
nocently taken. On the other hand
there is a strong lobby maintained
by the "rectifiers' of bad whiskey and
the makers of fraudulent goods of all
kinds. This influence has frightened
a lot of backboneless congressman,
and they want to put the whole sub
ject over until after election. They
have toyed with the bill for months.
1t was introduced in both houses De-
cember G. and passed the senate Feb
ruary p. The house committee kept
it lin soak for a few weeks. and
substituted the house bill for the
senate bill which is a broader and
more progressive measure. The house
bill. however. is a long step in ad-
vance. and would be welcomed by the
friends of pure food. 1t was made a
special order for April 10. and on the
calendar as a special order it re-
mains. Appropriation bills and doz-
en- other measures get preference and
the pure food bill goes over from
day to day.
The house has dallied with the Hey
burn bill long enough. 1t is about time
for action, and the public will not be
satisfied with any lame excuses A
failure to act on the measure at this
session will be equivalent to defeat.
and those who are responsible will
have TO answer for their disregard of
public health and safety.

The Greek Die.

The gold or silver blank, carefully
weighed and roughly forged. was heat
ed to redness and laid by tOngs on the
die. The top was then adjusted and
the impression made by mighty blows
with a smiths hammer. AS no collar
was used and all register neglected,
the shape, but not the weight, Of each
coin varied. Parts of the device were
often lost. Sometimes the edge of the
metal cracked, and very frequently the
impression doubled. Later on a hinged
adjustment of the dies was used. Greek
dies were not made Of steel, but Of
hardened bronze They soon wore and
needed continual restoration and deep
ening. The die sculptors were there
fore constantly at work on them. Care
full examinations shows that the dies
were mostly cut with a wheel, like
gems, not with craving tools. This re-
touching Of the matrices explains the
numerous minute variations in dupli-
Gates Of the same coins. Very few are
found exactly alike. On the other
hand, it must not be supposed that
these exquisite works of art Sre al
ways much defaced The boarding in

There is a natural prejudice against
the advertising doctor. Sometimes he
is a fake. and, Furthermore, we have
been taught by physicians who despise
advertising to look with suspicion upon
anv man who vaunts his professional
skill as a merchant would boast of a
stock of goods. We recognize the diff
ference, and yet undoubtedly proper
amount and a reasonable kind of ad-
vertising may be approved on the
part of the medical profession; and I'M
dOubtedly many Of the advertised
remedies and advertising practitioners
are worthy of patronage. At any rate,
it is significant that a medical journal
should so pointedly condemn the dras-
tbs measures taken by the state med
ical board to punish members OF the
profession who were guilty of no great
err offense than that of advertising

she prepared for the unusual occasion.
She chung to her husbands arm as they
walked down the street and nestled
close to him in the car. The fifteen
years of married life were forgotten.
The four little Atkinses, slumbering
peacefully at home. faded away for the
first time in their short lives from
their mothers thoughts Once again

lovers side.
The first act of the play was finished
and Mrs. Atkins still dreamed. Then
horrible thought forced itself upon
her. In her hurry to dress she had for
gotten to give Tommy his medicine.
The boy had been sick, and the doctor
had told her on no account to fail to
give the usual dose at night. This was
enough. A crowd of thoughts of house
hold cares surged upon her mind. Was
little Mary covered up or had she
thrown her covers off and the careless
nurse failed to replace them? Had
she placed the dough in a warm spot
so that it would be light enough in the
morning to bake? Had the butcher
brought the meat for breakfast and the
grocer sent the coffee? She could not
remember anything pertaining to her
home; she had been so Hurried in pre-
pairing for the theater.
Romance fed for the time being at
least. Mrs. Atkins became once more
the mother and the housewife. Upon
the plea Of a headache she whispered
her wish to return home, and her hus
band, weary of the play and hungry
for his cigar and a glance at the even
Ing paper, willingly accompanied her.
The following afternoon, in pursu-
ance of his plan, Mr. Atkins hired
horse and buggy to take his wife out
for a drive. Mrs. Atkins, having been
previously advised of the arrangement,
had so provided for her household du-
ties and the care of the children that
no perturbation of mind could posi-
bly, arise on those scores. With a

laid down his paper with an i'll sup

who was busily sewing on the opposite
side Of the table.

dared to interrupt your reading that
evening paper. It's always the same
thing. You have become as settled in
your ways as If you were sixty. Now,
think it Is dreadful to let ourselves
get that way when we've only been

met, and even after we were married,
we used to take nice long walks and
drives or go to the theater often. Now
we don't do anything but sit around in
the evenings, you reading your paper
and l sewing until bedtime. 1t is not
right"
Mr.. Atkins did not reply, neither did
he resume his paper. His wife's re-
marks had awakened memories of
pleasant days of long ago, yet, pleas
ant as those days had been, the present
life suited him better. He loved his
home To him it was the oasis where
he could come after a strenuous day in
the desert Of business life. The quiet
smoke and the evening paper after
supper, when the children were snug
in bed, were sources Of keen enjoy
ment. Being just man, however, he
began to consider the other side of the
question. His wife had strenuous days,
too. in the home, yet evenings brought
no change to her, as it did to him. No
wonder she yearned for the romance of
former days. She must have some re-
lief from the dull monotony Of home
life, and he resolved to see to it.
Accordingly the next morning Mr..
Atkins purchased tickets for the night
performance at the theater. Mrs. At
kins just dubbed over with JOY at the

The seat Of the buggy was too small
for the full enjoyment Of the trip. In
deed, 1t soon became simply torture to
Mrs. Atkins as they jolted over some
rough places.
John, I can't stand this any longer"
she groaned as the buggy went over

bands side, and his weight pressed her
against the side bar Of the vehicle SO

This arrangement did fairly well for
q time until Mrs. Atkins. sitting bolt
upright, without any support for her
back, began to feel the effects Of her
strained position. Her husband, think
ing only Of the days Of long ago. placed
his disengaged arm around her waist
to support her, but his wife decidedly
objected.

band, rather relishing the turn affairs
had taken.

verely, ''but you know never allowed

any one was present. think we had
better 60 home"
As they turned into the road that led
homeward they noticed a mass OF dark
clouds that had gathered in the west.
Mr.. Atkins applied the whip freely,
but the liveryman had selected horse
suitable for the use. Of a middle aged
couple and all the efforts at fast driv
ing were in vain. The big drops began
to fall, and then the storm broke In all
its fury. They were mile away from
shelter, and Mrs. Atkins would not let
her husband drive beneath the over
hanging branches Of a tree for fear Of
lightning. The rubber laprobe and the
side and back curtains had been for
gotten by the man who harnessed up
the team. The result was unpleasant.
A limp, disconsolate couple alighted at
the Atkins home just as the storm
broke and the sun streamed forth
again.
Mary" said Mr.. Atkins the next
morning at the breakfast table, we've
tried the theater and the driving, but
they didn't seem to bring as keen en-
joyment as they did in years past.
This evening We'll take a nice, long
walk and see how that works."
Indeed we won't" declared his wife
sitting a groan as twinge Of rheu-
matism made its presence known.

future, intend to conduct myself as a
