mo CURE, NO PAY"
How L. p. Van Werden Sell Hyomel,
the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

L. P. Van Werden has an unusual offer
to make to our readers, one that will be
of the greatest value to many.
For some years L. P. Van Werden has
been watching the results from the use
of Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh that
cures by breathing indicated air,
absolutely without any stomach dosing
The results have been so universally
successful that he feels justified in
making public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Leon with the under
standing that if Hyomei does not cure,
the treatment will cost absolutely
nothing.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of neat pocket
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest-pocket, a medicine dropper, and
a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not
enough for cure, extra bottles of Hyo-
mel can be obtained for so cents.
L. P. Van Werden positively guaran-
tees a cure, if Hyomei is used in
accordance with directions, or he will
refund the money.

Some of the Alum Baking Powders
Offered by Grocers.

AS is we'll known, the laws of most
states require all baking powders made
from alum to show that fact on their
labels.
1t is not always that the manufacture
ers comply with the law, or if they do
in technical way the terms used are
not Ineligible to the average con-
sumer.
For instance "basic aluminium sui
phate' is nothing more or less than
"alum."

McCalmont brought Curly in his arms,
bedded her down in the rig, drew the
ground sheet over to keep off the sun and
dust. and passed a flashing across.
After that he locked the door of the
cabin, and hung the key on its nail. 1t
was just that thoughtfulness in little plays
which made McCalmont loom up great in
his business Two minutes after the first
alarm he grabbed the reins, jumped to his
seat, and drove off slowly from the yard
aiming to show by the tracks that Cocky
Browns old blackboard had not pulled out
in a hurry. Buck and Crazy Hoss stayed
to brush out few spare tracks put up the
slip rails and follow. For all one could see
at the little ranchita La SoleJad, the Owner
CockS Brown, had trailed Off Tor supplies
to the city, then a couple of riders had
happened along shortly after, and read
the notice which was left for 'Dere Biz

McCalmont just poured his whip into the
team as Buck came up abreast.
"All set?" he asked.
"All SET seh.''
Can we get behind them hills befo' We re

Buck looked back to the boys who were
sweating the herd astern. Yes" he shout

If the posse could see the dust of the fly

for one of the whirlwinds which curve
around the desert wherever the sun burns

Buck says McCaImont, reach back to

on our trail from the ranch. At dusk l quit
this Grave City road and strike due east
