SIMPLE WAY TO CURE cATARRH BY

SIMPLE WAY TO CURE CATARRH By
HYoMEI WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING.
1t is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to cure
nasal catarrh. It cannot be cured except
the catarrhal germs that are present In
the nose, throat and lungs have first been
killed.
Direct local treatment by breathing
Hyomei through the pocket inhaler that
comeswith every outfit, is absolutely
necessary to kill the catarrhal germs and
prevent their growth and formation.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals the
smarting and raw membrane OF the all
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 bt
carried in the purse or vest pocket,
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hy0
mel, and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for 81
cents, thus making it the most economi
cal treatment for the cure of catarrh, AZ
we'll as the most reliable.
+. A. Shurtleff G. Co. positively guar
antee cure when Hyomei is used in &C
cordance with the simple directions OF
the package, or they will refund tn
money. This certainly shows theil
faith and belief in the virtues of Hyomei

The stormy March has come and gone at last,
With wind, and cloud, and skies Of gray and
blue;

Bryant In retrospect. and In longer measure.
The selectmen are around this week
trying to find out how rich we mortals
are. They report hay scarce in some
sections, and stock more than usually
spring poor. Going over Howe Hill
from LOcke's Mills to the Irish neighbor-
hood, the men were delighted with the
scene, and think it has few rivals in the
state. From there the White Mountains
were all in sight, together with scores of
smaller fry, while undoubtedly distance
lent enchantment to the view" They
found Patrick Flaherty growing more in
sane as the years go by, so as to be no
longer safe, and have concluded to take
him to Augusta.
Mrs. Charles Verrill is on the sick list,
and since it is impossible to procure
girls help for love or money, Mr.. Yer
rill has hired young man to do the
house work while he takes care of his
sick wife. During the last century girls
were glad to work out for Sl.0O per
week, and that is the difference between
then and now.
Mrs. Charles b. Brooks is getting
worse with no prospect of her recovery.
Miss Florence Bryant is visiting in the
neighborhood, and will be with her for a
day or two.
That peddler who called here recently
seemed to be more than an ordinary
parsonage; being questioned he said he
was German by birth, but since he had
lived here twenty-five years he consider
ed himself a member of Uncle Sans
family rather than subject of Emperor
William. He said he intended to deal
on the square in small trades; but when
a thousand dollars is involved he rather
questions his honesty, which reminded
US of what we have heard more than
once, that "every man has his price,"
Good sap weather thus far this week,
and many gallon of the sweet Juice will
be manufactured into syrup or sugar.
Ransom Cole has finished saving laths
and spool strips, and is now about to

State Liquor Commissioner Justin II.
Leavitt has received Q notification from
the Office of the collector Of internal
revenue at Portsmouth that he must pay
the internal revenue tax as wholesale
liquor dealer. The order states that the
payment must cover the last four years
800 yeaf for the tax, plus penalty OF
$50 year for not having paid 1t at the
beginning Of each fiscal year. This
means that the state must plank down
$500 and on July make another pay
ment of 500 to cover the next twelve
months. Commissioner Leavitt has re-.
ferred the matter to the governor and
council and they to the attorney general,
who is looking into 1t and preparing to
contest the order in the states behalf.

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants Of the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in weak
ened or debilitated condition of the ner-
vous system, which results in dyspepsia,
defective nutrition of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in complete
nervous prostration. 1t is clearly seen
that what is needed is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and act
i've. From personal knowledge, We can
recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this
purpose. 1t acts on all the vital organs,
builds up the whole system, and fits
men and women for these high pressure
days.

"Rooky Team" from Co. ID Wins.
DEFEATS A PICKED TEAM FROM FOUR
COMPANIES AT LEWISTON.

Co. ID. n. G. S. NJ, seems to be all
made up of marksmep. Its crack shots
have already made more than state
reputation. Thursday night some of the
others gave good account of them
selves, in fact, remarkably good ac-
count. A team of ten men from Co. ID
went to Lewiston on the special theatre
train and shot match at the armory
there with team picked out of the four
companies in Lewiston and Auburn.
The Co. ID team did not include the old
crack shots, but was ''rooky team" "
some of the men having been in the
company only short time, and no one
of them having ever before shot in a
match outside his own company. The
opposing team included three men who
were with the state team at Wakefield
and Sea Girt last year. From the first
the Co. ID boys took the lead, and did
not once lose it until the close of the
match, when the score stood 43S to 433.
The detailed scores are as follows:
