BETTER THAN MEDICINE
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing
 and be Cured of catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh. treatment that is far better than dos- ing the stomach. with medicine.
 It is the healing oils and balsams or Hyomei which medicates the air you breathe, reaching the most regote air cells in the nose. throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs. and restor- ing health to the mucous membrane.
 In using Hyomei you are treating your catarrhal troubles with the only natural remedy for it gives curative air bath to the air passages that has as powerful healing and antiseptlc ef- feet as that' found in the mountains where the pine forests give off ther fragrant and healing balsams.
 Breathe the iuvigorating and healing Hyomei. and see how quickly you will get relief from your catarrhal trou- bies. E. G. Fowler has seen so many cures .even of the worst cases of ca- tarrh, with offensive breath. raising of mucus, frequent sneezing. drop pings in the throat and spasmodic coughing, that they feel warranted in selling Hyomei under an absolute guarantee- to refund the money if it does mot do all that is claimed for it. He takes all the risk.

Directly Shil had finished his dinner he changed bis clothes and made prep arations for sspending a night on the water. He put on two heavy jerseys, and placed sandwiches and flask in one of the pockets of a thick overcoat. In Nthe other pocket he put two dozen cartridges.
 Then, calling the dog. he left the house by back entrance. and made his way through the park to the creek. Before he had gone fifty yards, he was hailed by one of the keepers.
 "All right, Jocelyn," he said, as the man came up to him, I'm going out to see if I can get a duck or two. Have you seen anyone about2

Monetary Complexities,

Money in it's diversities is so COM
plicated as to confuse those persons
not familiar with its peculiar nomen-
clature which is used principally
by the sportively inclined or those
in pursuit. of the elusive but de-
sirable commodity. The word is
employed more ways to my way OF
thinking than any other word in
the vocabulary. We might say
that it is almost rendered nameless
by the opprobrious and corruptible
appellations attached to it. They
are so numerous and equally at
variance that it taxes ones memory

Pure Food Laws.

A satirist writing of pure food
laws would doubtless claim that
they were enacted by man to pre-
tect his stomach from the bargains
of his better half. He would not
be far from the truth as, while wo-
nlen purchase the greater share of
the food supplies ofthe7 country,
their voice was not heard in the
pure food agitation.
Altho investigation has shown
that the adulteration of food proc.
ucts was even more general than
was at first supposed, it has also
demonstrated that pure food has
always been possible to obtain if
the buyer Tin this case the women)
would pay the price. Many a
manufacturer sreputation has been
wrecked upon the necessity of
producing "popular-priced" arti-
ole. Women are great bargain
hunters, but poor business reason
ers, this first fact has accounted
for a great deal of the misrepre-
sentation and adnlterstion Of food
supplies.
All retailers unite in saying that

priced and highly colored delica-
cies from that country were shown
to be illegal and England Jared no
better, as most of the "Purveyors
10 His Majesty" Git is to weep)
use too much poison to preserve
their products.
AS rule manufacturers have not
taken unkindly to the pure food
laws; they see temporary incon-
venience, but in the end the plac-
ing of their business upon high
er plane, and deliverance from
unfair competition. At present
the greatest bar to harmony be-
tween manufacturers and the laws,
il that there is woefnl lack of
uniformity in the laws of different
states. So what is meat in North
Dakota may be poison in Mime
sofa. Thus an article may con-
form strictly to the pure food laws
of Minnesota, yet to be sold in
North Dakota the same article
will require an entirely different
label and in some cases a different
name. That this is causing end
less trouble and no little expense
is self-evident. A visitor to a
large jobblng house today will see

women do not understand real
economy, and that they have only
a vague idea of relative values.
It is impossible to sell the average
woman can of tomatoes for more
than ten cents, difference in quail
ity or actual weight Of contents
cut no figure-''pigs is pigs" with
her. During a bad year when to-
rnatoes are high and a standard
article cannot be canned to retail
for ten cents, adulteration COM
mences and mixture of nnripe
tomatoes, much water and color
ing matter is produced, labeled
tomatoes, price ten cents. Side
by side with the genuine article,
at only twelve cents, the inferior
product will invariably be pur-
chased, even should the seller ar
que at length upon the false econ
omy in this action. The same
holds good for extracts, spices,
condiments, vinegars, jellies and
other food products most easily
adulterated.
The first demand for strictly
pure food regardless of cost came
from large lumber and railroad
camps where armies of men we're
fed. These camps were at first
the dumping ground for cheap
and adulterated food, but mutiny
and sickness soon convinced the
managers that pure food of the.
best quality was the greatest econ
omy in the end and they have
been vigorous in their demand for
high-grade goods, and most OF
them are using such goods today.
1t is not the purpose OF this ar
ticle to uphold the manufacturers
who stopped to adulteration, but
to point ont that the temptation
was great and that the buyers,
we're mostly to blame by their un-I
reasonable demand for quantity
and not quality. Many of the
manufacturers whose product came
under the ban of the pure food
laws were entirely innocent of any
intention to defraud the public
and were marketing a high-grade|
product, produced under highly
sanitary conditions, but preserved
by chemicals which the laws de-
clared dangerous to- health, but
which from constant usage had
come to be regarded as harmless
and necessary.
One result Of the pure food laws
which must have been consola-
ton to the American manufacture
ers was the large number Of for
eiEn products which were declared
illegal. The writer does not know

wanted to keep them tied up for
awhile, but Bill insisted that ',ey
would get tame quicker it they
were allowed to run loose. 81 we
turned them loose. About two the
next morning the cat woke us mp.
He sat upon rafter singing. Bill
swore and threw boot al it.
About half All hour later he threw
Ibis other one. Next morning We
foundsthat the cub had eaten :, he
tops off both of Billie boots.
Everything was going Along hue
until we got those two pete bat
lnow things were going two or three
ways at the same time. Bill wonld
be coming to the shack With two
saddles and half dozen blankets
on his shoulder, stub his toe on tue
oub-who was summing himself IN
the door-fall down and scatter
saddles and blankets all over the
shack, and then get a set of teeth
and claws into his legs before he
could get up, while the bobcat
would be tearing the bark off his
neck. Bill would scramble to his
feet seeing double, and grab the
first thing he could lay hands on,
and then start in to annihilate
everything within reach.
We stood about everything those
pets did until the cub crawled into
hole under one Of the hunks and
pulled the hole in with him, pre-
paratory to making his long winter
sleep. Bill and I moved out into
tent for obvious reasons, and to
hold pow-wow on the best way
to get him out. It does beat all
how fortune sometimes favors those
who least deserve it. While Bill
and WAS arguing as to who should
rout out the bear, along came
Hank. He slipped his saddle, had
his dinner, and then wanted to
know why we didn't use the shack.
Bill told him.
Great grab" exclaimed Hank,
ssyou locoed mavericks sure are
short of nerve. Afraid to rope q
half-grown cub bear and yank him
out Of your shack! Poof, just you
watch mep'
He was just entering the shack
when / happened to think of the
cat, and yelled to hfm to be care
ful. He sailed in, closed the door,
and we could hear him rip board
off the bunk, then all was still.
Then there we're sounds of ter
rible racket. Swear, words, bang
ing Of tin dishes, bowling and
snarllng and tearing up in gen.
eral. Surely something WAS going
to happen. We didn't have long
to wait. The door flew open and
Hank came out with bobcat
combing his mustache and cub
bear hanging on his hip pocket.
Hank got grip on the cat and
threw it with all his might. Bill
caught it. l started to run, but
tripped over a root just as Hank
jumped by me. The cub tore in
to me, and by the time Hank got
steady enough to shoot, | had
parted with good suit of clothes
and lots OF hide. But I WAS not a
marker to Bill. He looked like
he had been trying to lick tor,
nado. Hank had lost little CON-
plexion and was real hostile.
That settled the pet business
for the winter, and after this mix.
up we got along fine. 1905.

Red tell that story about forty
times and no two times alike
"Now then, Bill, here is my
scheme: There are bear and bob
cat right around here. | have
seen their tracks. If we make a
trap out of that old shack up in
the gulch, we might catch a cub
bear. We can nail up the windows
and leave hole just large enough
for cub to crawl thru. We can
use that honey we got from that
bee tree for bait. Then you build
a box trap strong enough SO. that
no bear can lift the tail end and
get the bait, and small enough to
catch young bobcat and We will
then start in to increase our fami-
ly."
1t was just two days after we
got the traps set was washing
dishes at the time-that l heard
Bill yell. l looked out of the door
and saw Bills cayuse taking
short cut to any old place, while
Bill was coming straight for the
shack at mica. minute clip. He
cleared the last twenty feet at one
bound, and shot thru the open
door like comet. Between gasps
he told me to close the door and
bar it. | did SO, aud a moment
later full-grown grizzly looked
in at the window. Bill shot 1t and
then told mo how he happened to
meet it.
He explained how he had went
over his beat, and on the way back
he rode by the trap to see whether
we had caught anything. The
trap was sprung, and he concluded
that he had better come back to
the shack and get his gun. On
the way he had met the bear. His
horse had business elsewhere and
was in hurry to attend to it, SO
he left Bill sitting on the trail.
We skinned our bear then went to
the trap. By tearing board off
the skylight we could see inside.
There stood cub bear that was
about two-foot tall. 1t was rum
ming around looking for hole to
crawl thru and "woo6ng" to tell
how mad he WAS.
We roped him and got him out.
He took to Bill right away. He.
socked his teeth into him just
above the knee and started to make
shoe strings out of his boots and
pants legs. Bill whipped him
loose with a rope, muzzied him
with his hat, tucked him under his
arm, and then we both went over
to the box trap. 1t Was sprung.

 Gentlemen-After fair and impartial test it gives me great pleasure to add my name to the long list of admirers of the Mason & Hamlin piano and I assure you that in my opinion no other piano made in America can approach your noble pro- duction in any of the essential features which endears 1t to the public well as to the artist. The beautiful, liquid tones of the treble, the singing quality of the middle section and the fullness, round ness and sorority of the bass were such a delight to me that I immediately pur- chased a Baby Grand for use in my home. This Is truly work of genius. A Mason & Hamlin piano. like a fine violin. is a work of art and under the hands of an artist will always respond to the de- mands any musical nature will make upon it. The power, the delicacy, the splendid action and above all the wonderful sing ing tone of the Mason & Hamlin Grand is unequaled. Yours sincerely,
