THE USEFUL TELEPHONE ON

Ifall the predictions which have
been made for the future are realized
The farmer of few years hence will
live In surroundings which would
hardly be recognized by tie horny

agriculturist of an earlier day. Good
roads. daily mail service at his own
door. and the penetration Of the rural
districts by the ubiquitous trolley
car, with its quick transportation

have already worked sweeping
changes In the life of the farmer in
The more settled parts of the country.
These forces, however, are all to be
surpassed In their effects by the re
ults to follow the general adoption

From Coughs, Colds, Sore Threats
and Hoarseness by Using Hyomei.
When you catch cold you want to
get rid of it as quickly as you can.
You don't want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing naus-
eating drugs. You know when you
do this that you are not only maxi
ing your own life miserable, but are
nuisance to everyone about you.
Why not avoid all this; why not
relieve your cold in five minutes;
why not cure It over night? You can
do it by using Hyomei, the sure and
guaranteed cure for Colds, Coughs,
Sore Throat, Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Asthma
Hyomei is medicated and antisep-
tic air; you breathe it into the lungs
through small pocket inhaler, and
it's soothing influences as it passes
over the inflamed membrane of the
respiratory tract, stops the mucous
discharge, allays the inflammation,
and the cold is cured. A complete
Hyomei outfit costs 800. and Hood
& Curtin will refund your money if
it fails TO cure.
