One Comforting Thought In the Death
Of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond OF her first
brood OF chickens. Going out one az.
ternoon she left the household In
charge Of her elght-year-old boy. Be.
fore her return n thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after It passed to find that half OF
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come. he thought
best to make a clean breast Of the
calamity, rather than leave 1t to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said. contritely, whe,
his mother had returned, mamma, six
Of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.
II Think think they died happy

Francis II. 7. Maxwell, a well.known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,

on any particular saint.

a trip TO New York, and there visited
a gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided to

Starch were used. In order to get the

choice of Starch a matter OF great I'M

only one which is safe to use on fine

and fruits.
found conditions really better than I expected, and fully. up to
representations in you literature. The soil seems ito be of fine quality and
of such variety as to make diversified farming easy and profitable.

not see the Votaw pastures but was assured by dsinterested parties that
it vas eve better than that which j examined, and believing this | came
home perfectly satisfied that you have the best proposition, for the poor
man, in Southwest Texas.
On farms adjoining your ranch I saw fine crops growing without irrga.
ton, IN this i consider remarkable in view of the severe drought, which
obtains at this time over the entire state.
l am sure this will prove to be a fine fruit grOwing section, especially
for grapes, figs and berries, and that the water supply is sufficient seems
certainly to be proved by the flowing artesian wells in various prts Of
pasture, and this also settles the truck growing proposition.
Very truly yours,

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN
Hyomei is Guaranteed by Hood x
Curtin to Cure Catarrh.

Thousands who have been cured
by Hy-o-mei call the inhaler that
comes with every outfit the Little
Pocket Physician, as it is so small
that it can be carried in the pocket
or purse.
There is really no excuse what
ever for anyone having catarrh now
that Hy-o-mei is so readily obtain
able. If you have any doubt about
its value, Hood & Curtin will let you
have a complete outfit with the I'M
derstanding that unless it cures ca
tarrh, it will not cost you cent.
Do not delay longer the use of
Hy-o-mei if you suffer with catarrh.
This is a purely local disease, and
Hy-o-mei goes right to the spot
where the catarrh germs are pres
ent, destroys them, soothes and
heals all inflammation and makes Q
permanent and lasting cure.
The complete Hy-o-mei outfit
consists of the Little Pocket Ply
stefan" and bottle of Hy-o-mei and
costs only Sl00. making it the
most economical as well as the only
guaranteed treatment for the cure
OF catarrh. Remember that Hy-o-mei
cures catarrh without stomach dos
ing, applying the medication and
healing where the disease germs are
present. 1888
