DANGER OF CATARRH.
Unless Pfapefly Treated With HyOmel
Becomes Serious.

Catarrah troubles are far more dan
gerous than they seem at first thought
If you have catarrh, there is an IT.
rllated state Of the mucous membrane
and weakened tissues which afford
an ideal lodgment and culture medi
um for disease germs, especially those
Of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breath lodge on the di
seased tissue and work destruction in
the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest,
surest and cheapest way to cure,::ca-
tarrh is by the direct method, breath
ing Hyomel. This wonderful medi-
Gated air treatment does not drug
and deranged the stomach, but is
breathed in, directly following and
DESTROYING all disease germs that may
have been Inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by Hooper Drug Company is
the best evidence Of their confidence
in the treatment and should dispel
all doubt as to its curative properties.
They agree to refund the purchase
price to anyone whom Hoym4i fails
to benefit, and you do not risk a
cent in testing its healing virtues.
A complete outfit costs but a SI.O0 if
it helps you, not a cent if it does not
do all that 1t claimed for it.

WANTS BAN LIFTED.
Red Owens Would Like to Play Big
 League Ball.

Pottsville, Pa., Oct 17.-Thomas Red) Owens, shortstop for the Read ing Tri-State league team, who is under blacklist of the National asso- citation, barring him from playing with any but the minor leagues, has made overtures for having the ban lifted from him. The blacklist has been in force for nearly three years, shortly after he left Brooklyn, whence he was drafted from Rochester He has the best support to his claim that he was unjustly handled and can prove he fulfilled every condition within the ten days limit which was fixed. Owens expects to be playing big league ball next summer.
 Owens played with the Springfield Connecticut league team in the days of Roger Connor's managerial reign. Later Dan O'Neil tried unsuccessful ly to lure him back to Springfield, but the Tri-State league, which was then an outlaw organization. raised every bid that the Springfield manager made.

fairy nature is easily moved to laugh ing, to crying or to getting angry. And though the fairies can do kind, nice things when they are pleased, they are not ruch bothered like hu- man people with the thinking about what's right and what's wrong.
 When he thought he might safely, poor Johnny got out of the churn, more dead than alive. He had heard every word the fairies said, and, solid man as he was, he was shaken all over. He knew the power of them when they. got angry, and he was afraid to obey them, and he was afraid not to. We'll, as it turned out, he did the best thing, because he made a resolution to go to the festival the last night and bring Molly and the taby with him.
