BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Z Breathe HyOmei's Tonic Healing and
he Cured Of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy TO rcatarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re-
mote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the mucous
membranes.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a cura-
2 tive air bath to the air passage that
mas as powerful healing and antisceptic
effect as that found in the noun
Eains where the pine forests give off
eheir fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
dng Hyomei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Dodson's Pharmacy has
seen so many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh with offensive
breath, raising of mucous, frequent
sneezing, droppings in the throat and
spasmodic coughing, that they feel
Qwarranted in selling Hyomei under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not do all that is
zlaimed for it. They take all the risk.

FXAGGERATE LITTLE
ACHES AND PAINS
Ldymen Have Swung 10
Extreme.

Formerly" said physician the
other day" according to the Baltimore
Sun, people thought too little about
their health Today many of them
think of little else.
THE majority of laymen have now
acquired just that little learning on
matters medical that is such a dan
gerous thing. They study and exag-
gerate all the little aches and pains
they suffer from. They catalogue
their symptoms and present them in
neatly typewriter folios to their fav-
sorite physicians.
"They take their pulses and their
temperatures, and even those of their
servants and of the unhappy stranger
within their gates. Elaborate charts
are designed to record their physical
progress from da yto day. They diet
6 themselves on esoteric systems of
their composing, BY turns they
9eed on fantastic fare and fast on
principle. They exercise their mus
2Ies by the chart and develop their
chests with dumbbells. They revel
in drafts of fresh air by night and
fresh water by day.
These people mean well. They
believe that nature is their friend and
the medical art only the enemy in
disguise. If people can't keep their
own health, what can they keep? they
argue. So they watch their symp-
toms as the cat watches the mouse.
Every trivial sensation becomes a
critical symptom of the gravest i'm
port
A mind that dwells constantly on
a disordered liver, an incompetent
kidney or a perplexing appendix is
IN a parlous state. 1t will soon be
known by the company it keeps. In
other words, the more an average
healthy woman thinks about her
health the worse it will become.
But seriously, after all, a healthy
life does not require such a lot of
coaxing.
Nature and instinct will often keep
us right when the kitchen scales
would put us wrong. We are not
creatures of the laboratory, with our
Goods cooked in the crucible and our
drinks prepared in the test tube.
The time is not yet for the cook to
, ne replaced by the chemist And
When the chemist prepares our food
for our physic, we shall then be very
much as we were before.

PLAY WITH DOLLS TO
LEARN GEOGRAPHY
Novel Scheme to Learn
About Nations.

BALTIMORE, MD, October I'll
(SpeciaD Beginning with this month
dolls are to play an attractive part
in the education of children in the
primary grades in this city, and, in
stead of learning by heart dry facts
about different peoples, the boys and
girls will study the most fascinating
dolls imaginable, the dolls being at
tired to illustrate child life in differ
ent countries.
No longer will the pupils think of
Switzerland as a land where Clocks
and mountains are made" but they
will regard it as the home of real
boys and girls. China will mean
something to them besides a country
from which laudries spring; Arabia
In fact each country will take on
new interest because of these repre-
sentative dolls.
The dolls are nearly all of the wax
variety. Some are fair-headed and
fair-skinned, and some are swarthy
and dark-haired. Their costumes are
in perfect taste.
If these dolls are as successful il
teaching the boys and girls as they
are expected to be, it is probable that
permanent set will be put in each
school.
Each doll will always carry flag
ii the country from which she comes,
some of them carrying two flags.

NO "SPARING OF ROD"
IN AMERICUS SCHOOLS
Supt. Miller Believes In
Its Use.

ITO whip or not to whip" is not
agitating the pedagogues of Ameri-
Gus.
They now whip, have always whip
ped, and will doubtless continue to
whip into the indefinite future.
From New York to Savannah, from
Atlanta to Chicago, the school direc-
tors and teachers are discussing the
question as to whether corporal pun
ishment shall be restored in the pub
lie schools.
The opinion seems to be decidedly
in favor of a return to the old time
rod as a corrective of the unruly. In
New York and Savannah, where the
agitation has assumed considerable
public Importance and awakened UNI
usual interest, it is probable that the
thrashing Of boys will be resumed at
an early period.
I'm Americas the good old rule
of whipping those who deserve it
has never been abolished" said Supt
Miller yesterday to a Times-Recorder
representative.
do I believe in whipping? Yes,
certainly do. There is no other way
of correcting an unruly boy satisfac-
torily. Parents, as a general rule,
are not opposed to a proper use of
the rod in the public schools when a
boy misbehayes to such point that
it is either necessary to whip him or
suspend him
Us the rod used much?" Supt. Mil
Ter was asked.
Don't call it a rod It's only a
switch off of some convenient tree,
the crop garnered by the janitor. No.
l don't think we wear out many
switches in a term. The mere fact
that the teachers have the authority
and generally the ability, to whip the
disobedient, tends to keep the boys
in order. 1t is seldom that the
teacher is called on to resort to ex-
IRENE measures"
How about the girls?"
"Well, the girls are not whipped
When a girl reaches the point that it
is impossible to maintain discipline
without severe measures being re-
sorted to she is sent home and her
parents notified. 1t is their province
then to punish the child in such a
way as will protect the school.
"But I must say that the schools
of Americas have little trouble with
the children. I doubt if 700 children
could be gathered together anywhere
who give as little trouble as ours do.
But that is no reason why the swift
ches should not be gathered and be
in readiness for the emergencies that
may occasionally arise.
Yes, I believe old Solomon knew
what he was talking about when he
spoke of sparing the rod and spelling
the child. Sometimes the rod should
not be spared and the child saved from
future rebellious conduct and dis
grace"
