HAS FIVE STORM PERIODS
Weather Prophet HICKS Predicts Five
Severe Storms tor the Month
OF February.

The second storm period for Rev.
LII Hicks predictions tor February is
central on the 9th The mercury
disturbance is also at its center on
the 9th, only two days from the cen
ter of the Venus period on the 9th.
The moon is at extreme south de-
c lnation on the 9th, in perigee on
the 10th and at new on the 18th. We
VIII put down the It'll to the 18th
of February as "a of the greatest
storm PERIODS OF the winter. See if
YOUR barometer doesn't fall phen-
omenally low. The most general and
destructive sleet storm OF the winter
will follow the rains IN many sections.
while terrific billiards. fierce gales
and blCckading drifts will %endanger
the lives OF man and beast to the
! west and north. Within forty-eight
hours of sunset on the 18th. our
planet will pass al other seismic
crisis. AS a natural result look for
many ice-gorge floods and disasters
during this and other February per-
iods. AS a sequel to all this, look
for a phenomenally sudden and high
barometer. wild nolth-westerly gales,
and a sweeping cold wave generally.
from about the 18th to the 18th.
The third storm period will cni-
inmate Oh and touching the 18th
and 10th. The Venus and mercury
periods still cover these dates. and
the earth's vernal equinox will also
be felt in tile perturbations through
all this part Of the month. A rapid,
decided fall of the barometer, rise
OF the temperature, with possibly
electrical storms, turning quickly
to sleet and snow, will appear on
and touching the. 10th, the date of
the moons passage over the celes-
tial equator. Another "VenGs revul-
sion from electric fire to cold wave
and ice' will come from the 10TH
to the 10th.
The fourth storm period will affect
storm and weather conditions from
the 10Th to the 23rd. The central
eliminating days will be Wednesday
the Goth, to Friday the 22nd. Tho
barometer and emperature will show
returning storm conditions to the
westward by the 10th, and during
the Goth TO 23rd, rain, wind and SHOW
will pass over the country touching
most parts in their passage to the
eastward. Cold bleak winds from
the north, with constant tendency
to snow squalls will be the order fol
many successive DAYS, or until low
blrometers and equatorial storms
move out of the south. A wave OF
quite cold weather for the season will.
come out of the northwest from about
the 22nd TO the 18th.
The fifth storm period is central
the last three days Of February.
Threatening changes in temperature
and baIomotric pressure will set ir

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
HEALING MEDICATION THAT is

BREATHBD, GIVING QUICK RELIEF.
The fact that many people right
here in Bradford cough and hawk
and shuttle for days and weeks
after they have been treating a
cold with the usual stomach dos
ing, shows how valueless are the
ordinary cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure cold in
the head, or a cough and irrita-
ton in the bronchial tubes, is by
breathing Hyomei's medicated air
from the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. Take a
few breaths in this way, and i'm
mediate relief will be noted. The
medication goes right to the spot
where the disease germs are and
renders them harmless.
j. M. Taylor gives an absolute
guarantee with every Hyomei out
fit he sells that if it does not give
satisfaction the money will be re-
funded. The complete Hyomei
outfit costs but $1.00, while extra
bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can
be obtained for only SOC.

GENTLEMEN,S NIGHT.

At the home of the Rev. and
Mrs. j. A. Dixon, on the evening
of January 4th, the members o!
the FOrtnightly Club and their
guests were very pleasantly en-.
tertained. They were received by
the hostess and Mrs. j. B. Pickett
president of the club. The roll
call was responded to with bright
and appropriate quotations. The
president, then, in a few, fitting
remarks, called to mind the many
pleasant evenings the club had
heretofore enjoyed on Gentle
mems night and then with pleas
ure introduced the speaker of the
evening, Mr.. E. II. Thompson of
Lebanon, N. H., who greatly
amused the company for more
than an hour y repeating Funny
Epitaphs". Most of these strange
weird and ridiculous sentences
he could vouch for as being
carved on various kinds of sto les
either in Italy, in England or in
the different states in this coun-
try, as far west as Wyoming and
in our own little state. The great,
est number were taken from New
England and some gave valuable
historical facts. In conclusion
he gave some most refined and
beautiful epitaphs and the trend
of his whole address was to in,
crease the interest in identifying
the "City of the Dead" as well as
to add beauty to this old world
wherever and whenever it was in
our power to do so. The speaker
had a very pleasing voice and hid
the attention of his listeners with
no apparent effort. The social
committee and assistants served
delicious refreshments from the
dining room, which was prettily
decorated with carnations and the
club color, after which a most live
ly social time was enjoyed. Altho'
the health of the host was not the
best he did much to make the oc
casiOn a most happy one, and the
time came all too soon to wish
