Carrabassett Lodge Meeting.

An important meeting was held on
the evening of June % by Carrabas-
sett Lodge, No. "a, l. o. o. F., in the
Water street hall. The degree team
from Scion Lodge, No. 1873, of 10
members, was present and conferred
the second degree upon three candi-
dates. Local Odd Fellows are loud in
their praise of the manner in which
the floor work was performed by their
brothers from up river. Added in
terest was manifested in the event
from the fact that one of the team
was Leon S. Merrill of Scion, past
grand master of the Grand Lodge Of
Maine. At the close of the meeting
a banquet was served in Grand Army
hall by committee of ladies chosen
from Priscilla Rebekah lodge. About
100 were present. Another member
of the degree staff well known in this
town was Perry S. Longley, a promi-
nent lumberman of Scion. The team
was the same one which recently ap-
peared in Madison where district
meeting was held.
There has been much more than
the usual interest in Oddfellowship in
Skowhegan since the first of the pre-
sent year. Sixteen new members
have been admitted to Carrabassett
lodge since January last.

when close to the yawning rift, he thrown high

what was left of his clothes. The cloth would not

him to dig his feet into deep snow drift and clutch
at the nearest projection.

strength enough left to hang At last he VEN

some of the cuts with snow. This revived him
somewhat and after another short rest he struggled

MUST PAY FRISCO LOSSES.
German Insurance Company Can Not
Escape According to Decision
Rendered In Hamburg.

Hamburg, Jan. 1.-THE North Ger
man fire insurance company, accord
ing to a decision rendered by the 10.
cal court in a test case Friday must
pay the losses which 1t incurred as a
result of the San Francisco earth
quake of last year.
The court held that the earthquake
clause in the policy was too ambigu-
GUS to justify the company seeking
to escape liability The court ordered
the Transatlantic Fire Insurance COM
pany to reimburse two English COM
panies which had re-insured San Fran
cisco risks with it for losses already
adjusted. The court refused to sus-
tain the Transatlantic company's
contention that the English companies
exceeded the limit of generosity in
settling the losses SO rapidly.
The case against the North German
Fire Insurance company was won by
San Francisco lawyers, including Mr..
Sutro, who came to Germany in the
autumn for the purpose Of pressing
the claim.

however, great consolation In the fact
that the Catholics of France were

declaration of war was not only
against the Christian faith, but against
all spiritual ideas. The French Cath

final victory. Contrary to statements
on the subject, the church did not de-

prosecutions. Being missionary of
peace and carrying out her mission

expose herself to war and persecu

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication That Is
Breathed, Giving Quick Relief.

II seems just as ridiculous to put
medicine into the stomach to cure a
cold in the head or lungs as it does to
60 out in the rain if we want to keep
dry.
The fact that many people right in
Abilene cough and hawk and snuffic
for days and weeks after they treat a
cold with the usual stomach dosing,
shows how valueless are the ordinary
cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure cold in the
head or cough and irritation in the
throat and lungs, is by breathing
Hyomei's medicated air. Put a few
drops of Hyomei in the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit
and breathe this healing air for few
times and immediate relief will be
noted. The medication goes right to
ne spot where the disease germs are
located and renders them harmless in
the future.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the irri-
tated mucous membrane give quick
relief, and the cough or cold is broken
up.
The best evidence of the great value
Of Hyomei in curing coughs, colds
and all bronchial troubles is the fact
that J. M. Gleissner gives an absolute
guarantee with every outfit he sells.
that II it does not give satisfaction,
the money will be refunded
A complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing Of a bottle Of Hyomei, the inhaler
and medicine dropper, costs but 81,
while extra bottles OF Hyomei, If
needed, can be obtained for only SOC.
