WHY SUFFER?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Germs.

Just as long as YOU have catarrh
your nose will itch. your breath will be
foul, YOU will hawk and spit, and you
will do other disgusting things because
you cant help yourself. The germs
of catarrh have got you in their power;
they are continually and persistently
digging into and irritating the mucous
membrane of your nose and throat
They are now making your life miser-
able; in time they will sap your entire
system of its energy, it's strength. its
vigor and vitality.
If you do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh. their desperate as
sault will in time undermine your rea-
son. rob your brain OF it's brilliancy
and activity. and leave you not only a
physical but n mental wreck.
This picture is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands of just such
cases He has personally experienced
the demoraiZing results that come
from the ravishing attacks of the
horrible catarrh germs. the greatest
pest of civilized nations.
But there is one remedy that Will
Kill the germs and cure catarrh. ana
that is Hyomei. the Australian dry air
treatment. There may be other
remedies. but they are not guaranteed
as Bowditch. Webster & Co, the drug
gists will guarantee Hyomei to cure
catarrh. or money back. Don't delay
this pleasant antiseptic treatment.
Every day you allow these germs to
exist in your system brings you nearer
to complete decentralization. Bowdltch'
Webster 4 Co, will sell you COM
plete Hyomei outfit for only $1.oo. ASK
them about it, 1t is also guaranteed
TO cure bronchitis, asthma. coughs,
colds and hay fever.

Work Of Maine Rifle Team
Highly Satisfactory.
Men Made Great Showing in
The Seasons Matches.
Union Towns Reco mmended for
State Aid Payment.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Friday, Oct. 80, at 10 A. M.

From information given out at the
office OF the adJutant general yester-
day it is learned that the ammunition
for the indoor rife practice of the diff
fer4nt organizations of the National
Gnard Of the State of Maine has been
ordered and that the practice for the
coming winter will be commenced at
once. It was late when the indoor
rractice was commenced last season
as some time was required in supplying
the different companies of the two reg
inents with the small calibre rifles
,,sed in the practice, but good results
were secured and the work proved to
he very popular with the men, and
now with the whole winter in which to
carry on the practice it is felt by the
military authorities Of the State that
the advance in the efficiency of marks
manshiL made will be much greater
than that of last season. A feature Of
the indoor practice last season was
the matches between the teams repre-
senting different companies of the two
regiments of infantry. These matches
created IA spirit OF healthy rivalry and
we're a source of enjoyment to those
DarlNlpdllliP, anu IL IL presumed tIlol
they will be continued during the COM
ing winter.
In speaking of the work of the Guard
in its rifle practice during the past
summer Adjutant General A. B. Farm
ham said yesterday that it had made a
most excellent showing, and expressed
himself as highly gratitied, both with
the work of the Maine rifle team at
Camp Perry, Ohio. and with that of
the two regiments in the annual small
arms competition which was held last
week. The showing made by the State
team at Camp Perry was excellent and
indicated. d decided Improvement over
that of the preceding year, although
the score made by the team this year
2yi4 points, was not quite as large as
that made a year ago. 3003 points, but
this is explained by the fact that the
conditions of the matches We're differ
ent. The improvement in the work OF
the team during the past year was
shown by the fact that it finished IN
l4th place, while in 1907 it finished in
18th place. The position of the tea1r
III the list Of competitors at Camp Per-
ny is all the more creditable because OF

LOBSTERS APLENTY.
Portland Wholesale Market Flooded
and Price Must Decline.

Portland. Me-. Oct 22.-The lobster
market in this city has never been in
such a condition as is prevailing at
the present time over 10000 Holsters
are imprisoned in the lobster cars Of
the dealers along the water front and
in the pounds. The normal supply is
about 10000, but on account of the
exceedingly large fares which have
been received here lately and the con-
tinuance of them. it is believed thar
within short time over 100000 lob
sters will be crawling around in their
enclosed homes.
A number of reasons have been adj
vanced for the peculiar conditions
which are existing. the chief among
them being the fact that large num-
Der of men are engaging in catching
the Holsters. 1t is said that about

rent. Gates or Parent went to the
postoff1ce and called for money or
der for 81. After filling out the
blank 500 bill was rendered in
payment. Mr.. Hammett began count
ing out the change when Gates or
Parent suddenly discovered that he
had SIS bill In his purse. This was
given the postmaster and Gates or
Parent received his change He then
decided that he would have the 800
bill changed to bills OF the denomi-
nations of tens and f1ves This was
done and Gates or Parent again
changed his mind and he threw the
roll Of change he had gotten from
Mr.. Hammett on the counter and was
again given his 800 bill.

engaged putting the finishing touch

artistic skill had evidently preced
ed him for he has been rushed will

of the studio. He very courteouly pi-
loted the scribe through the various
departments and explained to him
many of the details connected with
shadow making. His studio is equip
money can buy and the styles of
work and mountings would do credit
to any city. The person with the
most discriminating taste may be
satisfied here Mr.. Montgomery is es
pecially prepared to enlarge photo
