BRONCHIAL COUGHS
Breathe Hyomei's Healing Air and All
Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured.

The most irritating and annoying
form of cough is that termed bronchial.
People subject to bronchial troubles
whenever there is a change in the
weather or they are exposed to a draft
will catch" a bronchial cough, which
is very d~isagreeable, irritating and an
noying.
Bronchial troubles cannot be cured
by stomach dosing. The m%edicated al
Of Hy-omei is the only treatment rnat
reaches the affected parts and gives re-
lief and cure. 1t destroys all the dis.
ease germs that are present in the nose,
throat and lungs, soothes and relieves
the irritated mucous membrane in all
parts of the bronchial tubes and quick.
ly overcomes the irritation.
Bronchitis is really an inflammation
Of the mucous membrane lining the dir
passages and is purely a local disease.
so that it needs a local treatment like
that afforded by Hy-o-mei.
If there is any doubt in your mind
as to the power of Hy-o-mei to cure
bronchial troubles SO that the system
will resist coughs and colds, the I'M
usual way in which it is sold by A. H.
Cordiner should dispel that doubt. He
agrees to refund the money to any pur.
chaser of Hy-o-mei who is not perfect
ly satisfied with the results following
the use of the remedy. He takes all
the risk N if the remedy does not
help you it does o cost a penny,
while if it cures, the expense is nomi-
nal, for a complete Hy-o-mei outfit is
sold at only $1.00.

Senator Dick of Ohio says he will
stand by his colleague, Senator Fora
ker. He is of the opinion that If a bal
lot were taken in Ohio today President
Roosevelt's friends would dominate the
state, but he believes things will
change between now and June, 1908,
and that Foraker will win out. He says
he is sure that If Senator Foraker were
made president he would not carry out
a re%actionary policy that would cripple
the railroad development of the coun.
try. Just what Senator Dick means

MRS.SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home. and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
Is never done and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end Of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs. is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy, condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
c~uperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs, Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa. writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-

month and also a pain in my left side. My

before his term expired, Anderson es-
capped from the prison. He went to
Kansas City, changed his name, secur-
ed work, and became an industrious
citizen. He married, became the faith
err Of a child, and for seven years has
been a decent, quite, honest citizen.
The other day he was identified as the
escaped prisoner, arrested and sent
to Leavenworth to serve not only
the remainder of his original term, but
a new sentence for j~ail-breaking.
1t all calls up the question of what
should be the proper attitude OF soci-
ETY. toward those who transgress its
laws. Here is a man who once COM
mitted a grave o~ffense, one that called
for punishment. There can be no deny
ing hat society must protect itself
with prisons to house those who cannot
subscribe 10 its laws. But after his
escape from prison the man had to all
intents and purposes been a good citi-
zen; he had lived within the laws. mad
beer all that society demands its mem.
bers shall be. Because he had done
wrong in escaping from a prison he is
now set upon, seized in his peaceful
life and hurried off to prison again to
receive punishment for an old offense
II the object of prisons is to teach a
man the error of wrong-doing, correct
his evil tendencies and induce him to
conform to the laws, then the original
sentence had suficed, had made him a
good citizen, and the duty of the law
had been discharged.
Too seldom the prison system accom-.
plishes reform. Too often 1t hardens
the amateur in crime and confirms him
where the man had see the error OF
the criminal way and turned law-abid'
ing. Also he had taken a wife and
fathered a child, and now for the law
to step in and punish lot only the man
but the wife and babe, seems to cal
for protest. The man should have been
left alone; there is no questioning that
from the broad standpoint, he had been
punished enough, The view given OF
the law in this act is that of an aveng
ing, revengeful monster, whose exact
letter must be satisfied without thought
to what the effect, is going to be on the
individual. 1t is this view most crimi
nails get of the protective machinery
Of society; they come to look upon jus
tice as a thing Of hate, lacking il
heart, a monster that to defeat is evi
dence OF cleverness.
1t is plain hat we have a lot tc
learn about the proper treatment tc
accord Il ~lawbreakers; plain that We
have a long way to go before We shall
be in a position to convince them that
punishment is melted in sorrow ant
that the intent of it all is to help the
criminal to be a better man.-Denvel

WANTED TO KNOW 1T ALL.
H~entuckian Thought of New York as
Farming Community.

A traveller in the more thinly settled
mountain districts of Kentucky. as a
rule, will meet with hospi atty wher-
ever he encounters the natives, but
insular mind and character abound.
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
A backwoods host and his guest usu-
ally sit before the door with the Wis.,
itor and family in the early evening.
One recent sojourner in the land en-
deavored, in return for rapt attention.
to picture at length the superior at
fractions Of city life and scenery.
In New York" he said impressive
ly. there are buildings taller thar the
highest pines and sycamores of these
mountains. In nj block alone are a
dozen called s~kyscrapers each con-
tanning a larger population than this
county. On one avenue there are
miles OF millionaire mansions. At
night the buster streets are bright as
noon. One called Broadway has more
electric lights than there are stars in
a clear sky"
A pause to note the effect of his &C
count was followed by a long silence.
Presently, when it seemed that the
subject was about to be forgotten, a
voice from the stiffness inquired with
deep interest: q
Say, mister, In thet New York city
Is thur much corn and oats?"
yes, indeed"
Much lumber?"
Great quantities."
"How bout gingseng?"
PLENTY. More of everything there
han any other one place alive"
But thur amt much live stock?"
"Oh, yes. there is"
Poultry"
"Flocks."
A sigh of reluctant capitulation
fror1 the earnest questioner and an
other deep silence ensued. Finally the
same voice broke the silence again:

A Dastardly Crime

A Dastardly Crime
1t would seem from the report OF
State Chemist H. G. Knight on the
chemical analysis made of the stomach
and liver of John II. Bruce, who died
recently under very suspicious circum'
stances near the little settlement OF
Smoot. in Star valley, that he had
found %strychnine enough in the stom'
ach to kill five men. That a dastardly
and shocking crime has been commit.
ted, there can be no doubt, and it re.
mains for our officers to discover and
apprehend the criminal. No crime OF
this nature is committed without some
strong motive or incentive at the bot.
tom of it, and when this is discovered,
the perpetrator is found. No person,
unless a moral degenerate, whose place
is in an asylum, commits Is revolving a
crime merely for pastime. In a com.
munity the size of Smoot, it should be
nearly a certainty tina. the motive un.
derlying the deed should be discovered,
and the criminal brought to justice.
And to this end, it is the duty of every
citizen throughout that section to ten,
der his assistance to unravel the mys,
terry n so remove the blot from the
fair name of the people of Smoot.-
