WHAT is WRONG7
Many People in Augusta are Asking
That Question Of Late.

Within the last few weeks, more
people than usual have complained of
frequent sneezing fits. tickling in the
throat, stoppage in the nose, spasms
of coughing, raising of mucous, drop
pings in the throat and offensive
breath, and have asked themselves
what is the matter
The trouble is that they are affected
with catarrh and unless immediate
steps are taken to remedy their condi
ton. the disease will increase and
spread through the delicate mucous
membrane that lines the air passages
and a chronic and serious stage of the
disease will result
At the first symptoms of catarrh,
Hyomei should be used. There is no
other treatment like it or just as good;
none that can take it's place and cure
so surely, so quickly and at so little
cost. 1t is a scientific medicated air
treatment that does not drug and
derange the stomach, but is breathed
in, directly destroying oil uisceise
germs that may Turk in the nose,
throat and lungs and soothing and
healing the irritated mucous men,
brane.
Bowditch, Webster & Co., the local
agents for Hyomei, have SO much
confidence in the merits Of the remedy
that they offer it on trial to any
catarrhal sufferer with the agreement
to refund the purchase price of $1.0O
for the complete outfit to anyone who
is not satisfied with the results. You
certainly can afford to test Hyomei
with an offer like this. Get it now
and be cured of catarrh.

Auburn High School Boys Win from
Augusta In Loosely Played Game.

Cony was defeated Wednesday after
noon by Edward Little with a score OF
"a to in very poorly played contest
the first game that Cony had played
in the Bowdoin League. Reuel Williams
field, where the game was played, was
in poor shape. large cutters running
through it, but all the errors could not
be laid to the condition of the field, and
to the spectators it was apparent that
both teams were very much in need OF
practice.
The game was called at 315 with the
visitors at the bat. Nicholas was in
the box for Cony and in the first in
ming Edward Little netted five runs on
couple Of hits and several errors
Cony went out in order. The score:
Edward Little, 5; Cony, 0.
In the second inning Nicholas gave
a base on balls and then got down to
business and struck out three in or
der. Then Cony came to the bat and
repeated her performance of the first
inning. In the third inning, with a
man on second and third and one out.
Shaw of Cony made a fine double play,
assisted by Huntington. and ended the
inning for the visitors. COny came to
bat with a determination to climb out
of the goose-egg row, but the. signs
were not right and the determination
ended when with two men out and
three on bases Fitzgerald famed. The
score: Still to 0 in favor of the Wis
itorS.
In the fourth inning Edward Little
commenced to do things and inaugu-
:%%l1 nd wit \,
four hits with a total of six. and a few
errors, scored six runs. Cony Went
out one, two, three, and the score was
Edward Little, IL; Cony. 0.
In the fifth inning Nicholas was re-
placed by Meader in the box for Cony,
but while the Auburn boys could not
seem to hit him safely they succeeded
with five errors in getting two runs.
In her half of the inning Cony still
chung to the zero mark. In the sixth
inning, through the medium of two
hits, two errors and some fine base
running the visitors scored three more
runs. 1t was in this inning also that
Hendee made a pretty hit--the first for
Cony-and with some loose playing by
the visitors Cony scored a run. the
score: Edward Little, 16; Cony l.
Meader was replaced by Hendee in
the eighth, and then the visitors struck
an off streak, scoring only twice. 1t
was in this inning also that Cony had
a chance. The first two men struck
out, and then with three errors and
hit by G. Smith she succeeded in get
ting four scores. But the fun ended
there, for with three men on bases
Huntington failed to connect with the
ball and struck out. The score: Ed
ward Little, 18; Cony, 5.
In the eighth Edward Little batted
around once and a little over. The
first four men up got pretty singles ana
aided by the poor fielding Of Cony six
men crossed the plate. Cony went out
in order.
In the ninth Edward Little went out
in order. Cony made two runs and had
a chance for more, but with two out
and three on bases O'Connor famed,
and the game was ended. The sum-
