Tallman e. Co. make this statement
because Of the great success that has
followed the use of Hyomei in the
treatment Of catarrhal troubles. So
positive is this treatment in quick re-
lief and permanent cure that they sell
1t under an absolute guarantee to re-

There is no other treatment or med

tion right to the very spot where the
disease germs exist. With this treat
ment, health-giving oils and balsams
are breathed through a neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
so that every breath you take while
using Hyomei Is a breath of healing
air. It kills all catarrhal germs and
prevents their growth, so that the
cure is thorough and permanent.

WooING SLEEP.
A Prescription That Worked Well In
tft Philadelphia.

n prescription That Worked Well In
III Philadelphia.
A haggard looking man strolled into
a downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said he had trouble In getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost,
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at certain hour, and In conse-
quence Of his peculiar affiiction he was
losing more sleep than he could stand
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically few moments and then re-
piled:
NY dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want Is something to
change the trend Of your thoughts
Do as a friend Of mine did. He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan Of imagining sheep
passing a barrier and counting them
was out Of date, so he began trying to
name all the states In the Union. He
soon got them 30 he could classify
them alphabetically. Then, when they
no longer interested him, he started on
the counties Of his state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter. Now he is start
Ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep. To make It short,
the study Of geography is a good mar
cotic."-Philadelphia Record.

Many of the poor Beers in the Trans
vaal, by whom all the shooting that
Is done is for the pot and not for sport,
have perfected a system Of shooting
with the assistance of oxen. A steen-
buck has no fear of cattle and will
lie still even If they Craze right up to
him. The hunter gets together a few
cattle and with his gun walks behind
them in such way that he cannot be
seen from the front. Great care has to
be exercised to drive the oxen so that
they may seem to be grazing natural
ly. The hunter must be ready to shoot
without having to alter his position.
The slightest movement is noticed by
the buck.

cowbirds Unnatural Parents.

The cowbird is the only bird that we
have In this country which 10 unnatu-
raj in its parental duties. 1t never
builds a nest for itself, but lays its
eggs in other birds nests, thus forcing
the rightful owners to assume parental
duties. It 1t sagacious enough to
choose tae nests of tdrds smaller than
itself, SO that its young, when It Is
hatched, being inevitably the largest
of the brood. must necessarily receive
the lion's shnre of tin attention of its
foster parents. The birds thus affiict-
ed resort to various means to rid
Themselves Of this unwelcome addition
to their litter. The most ingenious
method is thst frequently used by the
little fellow wabbler, who will often
build substructure on top of her orig
inal nest, thus burying the eggs Of the
cowbird and often somc Of her own

Yellow Jackets Bad Pests.

Yellow jackets are proving a great
pest to fruit growers this year in the
territory tributary. to Tacoma. They
first attacked red raspberries, in
ravenous way and then as the num-
bers increased, they began devouring
blackberries. They are working on
apples and plums. One man said he
counted nine yellow Jackets on sin
gleu plum. Old settlers say their ap-
pearance is not new here, but they
seem more numerous in some seasons
than in others. Then they disappear
Just the the worm pests do and re-
appear after a few seasons. 1t has
been suggested by some that the abb
sence of flowers during the dry sea-
son compels the yellow jackets to
seek their materials for food supply
in fruit.-Coquille Herald.

"About this time, while rambling in

twenty weasels running from hedge to

being hunted. So, springing over the
nearest hedge, we ran across pasture

bank, looked back toward our assail-
ants. To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground, steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run, run! and of we scam

our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on, and the crea-

persons being attacked by weasels, but
