CATARRH A GERM DISEASE
Breathe the Air Medicated by Hyomei
and Kill the Germs

Now that physicians and scientists
universally agree that catarrh is a
germ disease, the reason for the failure
of the old-fashioned stomach dosing in
this trouble is readily seen.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, a
treatment which cures catarrh by fill
ing theair you breathe with germ.
killing and healing medication, Stats
tics showed that at least ninety-seven
out of every hundred persons in this
State were suffering from catarrh of
some form. Although Hymomei has
been known only few years, the re-
markable results following It's use are
shown by the much smaller percentage
of those who suffer with catarrh today.
The treatment with Hyomei is very
simple and pleasant: small inhaler
comes with every outfit and three or
four times day Hyomei is breathed
through this, making the air at that
time like that found on the mountains
where the pine forests give off their
fragrant and healing balsams.
Used in this way, HYomei penetrates
to the most remote cells of the nose,
throat and lungs, absolutely killing all
catarrhal germs and efecting a COM
plete and permanent cure of the dis
ease.
The complete ont6t costs but one
dollar, while extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. Remnants Phar-
macy have seen such remarkable re-
cults from the use of Hyomei that they
sell it under an absolute guarantee that
it costs nothing unless it cures.

a clipping from the Denver fos'
regarding the purchase of fishing
privileges along the Gunnlson'
We reprint it simply to show how
generally the idea is taking holo
of the people that they must buy

THERE are indications that
very nasty mess has been stirred
up over the attempt to secure
favorable action by the Board OF
Pardons in the case of the bank
looters, Imboden and Hill. One
Ralph Smith, member of said
board and also attached to a
bonding company that is to some
extent involved as security for
some of their rascality, has been
quite active in attempting to in
fluence a pardon for them. 1t
turns out that the bond company
has spent money liberally to Sc
cure this result. In other words
Mr.. Smith for the bonding com
pany has been endeavoring to
purchase the influence of Mr..
Smith on the Board of Pardons,
and but for lucky and timely
expose might have been able to
seduce himself. At this distance
it looks as if his virtue had a
desperate narrow escape. The
further fact that he had just started
for Europe on one of those va
cations that always seem to be
necessary to a man VINO mas
turned dainty trick of this char
acter, indicates that Mr.. Smith
was fearful that scme one here
would discover how close he
came to buying himself. The
Board of Pardons is a mighty
good thing to abolish.

THREE parties felt sufficient
grief over the course of this paper
in the matter of importing JaPs
that they felt called upon to stop
their paper in order to discipline
the sheet. 1t is always perfectly
proper to discontinue paper at
the will of subscriber, and we
always stop them on request as
readily as we accept the subscrlP-
ton in the first place. 1T you
want the paper stopped, do not
hesitate to say so. Call and pay
what you owe if you owe, and IT
you are paid in advance we Will

unused portion of your credit.

1t is quite proper to state right
here that we do not recognize any
subscriber as having a right to
dictate what appears in this pa
per, however, and if you will stop
to consider the matter you will
discover that this accounts tor
the paper being worth the price.
Its editor has some convictions
and always expresses them. A
paper that does as it is told to do

out what is popular and then takes
that side will, never have much

Watson's Magazine.

Watson's Magazine for August
opens with a scathing attack on
the fallacy of socialism. Mr..
Watson's first editorial on the
subject few months. ago when he
reviewed THE Jungle" showed
only some of his arguments. The
present article, entitled THE Cow
and the Socialist" will make
many hearts sad in Utopia. There
is some balm for wounds in Upton
Sinclairs reply to the Jungle

generously accords publication.

GEN. GEO. WEST, of the Golden

GEN. GEO. WEST, of the Golden
Transcript, mourns for the old
days when a makeup man was
supposed to know something
about correct style in arranging a
set of forms for the press. Styles
change Bro. West and you may
notice other incongruities, par
ticularly in those papers that use
the linotype. For example how
long could delirium tremens
editor like Paul Theiman hold a
Job on the Comical Gazette, of
CINCINNATI, or the old Chicago
Times or Ocean, say twenty years
ago? How many hop dreame
would he have been able to get
off on the public until he was
greeted with request to visit the
managing editors room? In these
days of type setting machines
and syndicate editorial you can
look for most any old thing in the
way of makeup. If we miss con-
nections in the next world and
land in hell our only request will
be that we be given job stoking
under the furnace in which old
man Merganthaler and two or
three other men who have helped
to rub the bloom off journalism
are confined. That would be the
next best thing to monkeying
with harp.

PROF. THOMAS, one of Rookie
feller's educators at his private
university in Chicago is out in a
magazine article in which he ad-
vises the young men to select
their wives from the demi monde,
averring that they make the best
companions. His article would
be more interesting were he to
tell us how he got his information.
We presume that coming from a
high moral source the suggestion
will find defenders, but we doubt
whether it will become popular in
the west for some time at least
Probably the Professor was simply
making a bid for some cheap ad-
vertising and if SO he is getting
