The newspaper man is gentle crea-
ture full of the charity that suffereth
long and is kind, and possessed of a
majority of the graces that the Apos-
tie Paul mentions and this gentleness
of spirit is sometimes valuable in heap
ing Goals of fire on persons who impose
on it. A notable instance of this came
to light in Coffeyville recently. Some
days ago the advertising solicitor of
the Journal dropped into one of the
banks and solicited one of the officials
for an advertisement The sauve and
gentlemanly banker informed the news
paper man that he did not care for any
publicity at so much per and ended with
these polite words: ''None of the banks
of this city advertise and the bank
that starts it would be a jackass. -
The newspaper man might have said
some mean, cutting things, but he
walked out and said nothing aloud.
A few days ago the bank found itself
in a precarious condition because of
the financial furry. A two line item
in the paper would have started run
that would have meant ruin to the in
stitution but instead the papers of the
town reassured the people and the
bank pulled out safely. The banker
ought to carry page regularly to show
that he appreciates the papers work.

My wife laughs at me during the

No one seems TO have yet thought of

PRESIDENT COMPLAINS

tions With Japan Harder.
Sacramento. Cal. March l2.-Gov-
crnor Gillette sent to the assembly a
message from President Roosevelt
complaining that the recent action OF
the legislature would have a most un-
fortunate effect upon the presidents
effort to secure the exclusion OF Jap
anose laborers by friendly agreement.
The president asked the governor to
secure suspension Of further action un-
Ill receipt of a letter from the presi-
dent. The governor asked that the
assembly give the matter very careful
consideration.
The legislative action referred 10 by
the president was the passage by the
senate OF a bill limiting the age OF
children Of all races to 10 years when
first entering primary schools. OF a
measure prepared by the japanese
Korean Exclusion League. submitting
the question of Asiatic exclusion to a
vote Of the people. and a resolution
protesting against Japanese naturali-
cation.
The message created momentary ex-
citement in the lower house. Then
Grove J.. Johnson expressed his conf
dence in the governor and the presl-
dent. said the question should be left
TO them. and moved that the assembly
take no action on the japanese ques-
ton as this session. The motion was
carried without debate.

BREAKS UP A COLD IN TEN HOURS
Breathe Hyomel and get Quick Relief. Cures
al! Bronchial Troubles.

As usual thing a remedy that has
immediate action contains powerful
drugs that should be used sparingly.
This is one OF the reasons why the
ordinary tablets that are sold for
coughs and colds should not be taken
by people with weak heart, as they
have dangerous stimulating effect.
When Hyomei, however, is breathed
quick relief Is obtained in q natural
way. Its healing medication goes right
to the spot where the disease germs are
present, at once soothing and healing
the irritated mucous membrane. The
action in this way is similar TO spread
ing soothing salve upon burn.
No other medicine for the cure oi
coughs. colds and bronchial troubles
is as rational as Hyomei. Breathing
it through the neat pocket inhaler which
goes with every outfit, it can be used
either in the nose or mouth, thus getting
full medication into the nasal passages
or the throat and lungs as desired. II
gives almost instant reliefin all affections
of the bronchial tubes, and guaranteed
to break up cold in ten hours. This
guarantee is given by one OF the best
known druggists in fredericksburg, K.
N. Goolrick, with every Hyomei outfit
he sells.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting
OF q bottle OF II gomez. an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket OF
purse and medicine dropper, costs but
one dollar, with q guarantee that i
does not give satisfaction the money vii
bs refunded.
Should extra bottles OF Hyomei b'
needed they can be obtained for oulJ
soc; the inhaler lasts lifetime.
