for the past few days visiting with mis-
brothers, left for Madison Saturday.

excellent business ia the capitol city.
During his short stay in this city,

the germ of progress which is so mani

mined to close up his business in Madi-
son this week and will return bag and
baggage to Grand Rapids where he
will open up a business place, and
make his future home. Fred is
thoroughly enthused by the encour.

c. A. WORK

A letter recently received from
Corydon T. Purdy contains much
of interest to the people in this
city who are interested in the estab-
lishment of a Young Mems Christian
Association. Being constant and
interested reader of the REPORTER,
Mr. Purdy has noted the agitation
along this line and has the following
to say:
We are all in our usual health, but
will be glad to see the end of the
winter. 1t is a much rawer climate
here than in Grand Rapids, and much
more changeable; the winds from the
ocean are very penetrating.
am glad you think the outlook for
Grand Rapids is encouraging. If you
can induce diversified manufacturing
interests to establish there it will
help you more than anything else you
can do.
BY the way, see by the paper that
you are proposing to start a Young
Rapids. [ am glad OF it. l hope it's
done.
The older l grow the more l am
impressed with the remarkable work
that is being done by the organization.
1t is not SO governmental as that of
most other ecclesiastical bodies: but
it is remarkably effective: in fact /
think there is no other religious body
in the world doing as effective work
unless il IS the Catholic church, and
L doubt if that is. 1t will interest
you to know that several of the i'm
portant men doing the work of the
international Committee here in New
York City are from Wisconsin, and
one of them was a college mate of
mine at the University.
Grand Rapids has always kept
abreast of the times. Its boys have
gone to college, it's people have
travelled, and in intellectual growth
and in doing things, it's home place

Editor WOOD COUNTY REPoRTER:-
have been promising myself TO
write something for the REPORTER
for some time, and although what 1
have to say may be well known facts
to many, yet believe there are some
interesting things about Los Angeles
and vicinity which are not known to
all the REPORTERS readers.
Right here let me say that the RE-
PORTER reaches us on Tuesday morn
Ing rather early, and no matter if the
weeks wash still remains in the tubs,
sit down and look for news "from
home".
For although we expect to make
this our home and like the place very
much yet we speak of "back home"
In old Wisconsin.
The first thing desire to mention
is the climate. OF course all have
heard Of the delights of California, but
people do not always "take in" all
they hear Of any place which is I'M
known to them. My own belief is
that stories of California are not as
much exaggerated as is the general
idea. The climate is beyond compari-
son for general comfort. OF course we
don't know what the summer may
bring, but old residents tell US that
we have had some days in February
just as hot as July. February is the
spring month here and the hills are
beautiful in their coloring. The
country places in this vicinity are
pleasant to visit, especially at this

Angeles Is the largest olive farm in
the world, 1900 acres.
Near here also are thousands OF
acres of strawberries.

tion the largest pigeon ranch in the
world, little place called squads

10000 pigeons In the ranch.

EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW.
Driving Many Worthless Catarrh Medicines
Out Of Existence.


Many worthless remedies that have
been advertised for the cure of ca
tarrh have been driven out of exist.
ence by the Pure Food Law.
This has naturally increased the sale
of reliable remedies, and those that
fulfill the provisions of the law.
Hyomei, for example. has larger sale
than before, and Wood County Drug
Co. still sell it under a guarantee that
it will cure catarrh or the money will
be refunded.
Breathe Hyomei three or four times
daily through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and its
healing air will reach the most re-
mote parts of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs and
soothing and healing any irritation
in the mucous mem brane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs

guarantee that it will cure or cost
