In using Hyomei you are treating
YOUR catarrhal troubles with the only

air bath to the air passages that has as
powerful healing and antiseptic effect
as that found in the mountains where
the pine forests give off their fragrant

Breathe the invigorating and healing
Hyomei, and see how quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.

A CHEAP POLITICAL TRICK.

Under the act of February q, 1907,
all soldiers having served in the civil
war and who have reached the age OF
60 wears. are entitled to pension of Sl2
ner month. AS the age increases the
pension increases. By this act all old
soldiers of the required age are given
this amount as pension whether DIS
apled or not. 1t is theirs by the right
implied by this act and to receive 1T all
any old soldier has to do is to prove MS
age and his service and 1T belongs TO
him.
II seems that Hepburn, in his anxiety
to keep solid with the soldier boys, mas
entered into an arrangement WIN one
