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

1t seems Just It's ridiculous 10 put
medicine into the stomach to cure Il
cold in the heal or lungs rs it does tn
go out in the rain if We want To keep
ldry.
The fact that many people right in
Augusta cough and hawk and snuff,
FOR days ana weeks after they treat !,
|cold with Tie usual stomach dosing
Iskows hoW ValuelcsS are the ordinary
cough and cola cures.
The right way 10 cure 4 cold in TIL"
head or a cough and irritation in the
throat and lungs. is by breathing
HyomciS medicated air. Put Il few
drops Of Hyomei in the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit and
breathe this healing air for Il few
times and immediate relief will be
noted. The medication goes right Il
the spot where the disease germs are
located and renders them harmless i'll
the future.
At the same time the soothing AMI
healing effects Of Hyomci on the irri-
tated mucous membrane give quick re-
lief, and the cough - cold is broken
up.
The best evidence OF the great value
of Hyomci in curing coughs. colds and
all bronchial troubles is the fact that
Bowditch. Webster & Co. Of Augusta
and Geo. w. Dorr of Waterville Me
give an absolute guarantee with ever
outfit they sell. that if it does not give
satisfaction. the money will he re-
funded.

To The HOmeSteader ,

On account of an order from Presi-
dent Roosevelt all patents and final re-
ceipts will be held up pending investi-
CATION. Now in our opinion this is un-
just and unnecessary and brought
about by conditions that the President
does % understand.
The fact that there are so many I'M
scrupulous men Or rather land sharks,
in the country who make il n business
to contest claims that they know they
can't win o could not use if they did
only for speculative purposes, but do it
to bleed the homesteader who is hon
estly trying to comply with the law, is
bound to make a bad showing at the
Interior Department and to the Presi-
dent. Why not explain the matter
fully and petition the President TO re-
scind the Order. FINLEY Rock.

A Plea of hOmeseekers.

Senator McCumber of North Dakots
talked with President Roosevelt today
about the executive order holding uT
certain land entries in the West await
ing investigation. 1t has been urged
on the President that he should cancel
this order > far As it applies to strictly
agricultural lands, where il is asserted
there could be little or no motive for
fraud or collision. The senator said
that there probably were 500 cases, in
his state where homesteaders have
made entry, but are unable to make
tinal proof because of the order holding
up the entries, The senator asked
thefresident to permit receivers of
public lands TO issue receipts, thereby
completing the transactions and per-
uniting the homesteaders TO begin
their improvements.-K. c. Star.
