EASY TO CURE CATARRH
JUST BREATHE IN HYoMEI, THE
DRY AIR THAT KILLS
THE GERMS.

You can do exactly what G. ]. Sterers
did by using Hyomei. Read this;
After having suffered from chronic
catarrh for years, for which tried va
rious remedies without success. 1 be-
came almost discouraged. After read
ing about Hyomei. l decided 10 make
one more effort to rid myself of the
dread disease. and 10 my great de-
light l found the use of two bottles
of the Inhalent sufficient to produce a
complete cure. / now take pleasure
in recommending this remedy TO al
sufferers from catarrh."-G. j. Sterers,
Crown City. Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will
cure catarrh, but we say that Miller
Drug Co., the druggists guarantees 1t
TO cure catarrh, or money back. He
does more-he guarantees it TO cure
asthma, bronchitis. hay fever. coughs
and colds. A complete Hyomei outfit.
including inhaler. costs only S1.00, and
extra bottles, II you afterwards need
one, will cost but SO cents. Hyome,
is a pleasant dry air treatment You
just breathe it in, and as IL passes over
the inhamed membrane. IL kills the
germs of catarrh, and allays all in
fiammation.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
PRINTS AN OLD MAP

Postmaster Henry c. Conrad, who
is librarian of the Delaware Historical
Society, today presented TO THE
EVENING JOURNAL, a map Of early
Wilmington. The map was printed
from a copper plate, recently presented
to the Historical Society by John f..
Almond. The plate, 2Ox27 inches, had
been for a long while stored in the
garret Of the building at Eighth and
Market streets, so long occupied by
Mr.. Almond, and which was recently
torn day TO make way for the new
Union Bank.
Mr.. Almond does not know how the
plate got there or how long it had
been there. There is no date on the
map, but Mr.. Conrad's supposition is
that it was made about 1905. 1t could
not have been made earlier than that.
because the almshouse that stood on
Broome street above Second was not
built until 1905. Both the date Of the
map and the name of the maker would
be of interest.
The Historical Society has had 2
few copies printed from the plate,
which they will dispose of to persons
wanting them at one dollar each

submitted to the Levy Court this after
neon their proposition looking to a settle
ment of the litigation growing out of the
deralcation. The counsel admits the short
age to be $4,000 in round numbers and
offer H25OO as a settlement. The Levy
Court will make answer to the proposition
later.
The proposition, which was embodied
in a communication to the court. sug-
rested that the county collect Rettew
outstanding taxes for the years 1893 and
1904 which the attorneys believe the court
is able to do.
Before setting forth the proposition o.
settlement the communication says;
"Before making such proposition how

have been an erroneous impression de-
rived bv at Least some Of the members OF

Mr.. BUSINESS MAN:

NR. BUSINESS MAN;
Would you like to have a part
ner who would work for you ear
nestly, honestly and faithfully.
Whom you could rely upon in
good times or bad to work for the
increase Of your business?
A partner who would Y'ork for
you night and day-a truly "silent
partner?"
Did It ever occur to you TO look
upon advertising in this light?
Yet your advertisins-if properly
handled-fulfis all of these re-
quirements.
But for these returns you must
give the same treatment to your
advertising that you would give
to a good partner.
You must pay this partner a eer-
tain amount of your returns. Your
advertising appropriation fulfils
this requirement.
You must permit the partner TO
make a "good front" To do so,
present your advertising matter
in suitable type and in proper Ian
guage, neatly arranged.
And you must give this partner
time TO show results. You would
not expect a partner to build up
your business in a day. Persist
ence is required to obtain returns.
You must also consider the man
ner Of introducing this partner to
the public. That is, the medium
in which you place your adVertis-
ina must be respectable and go
among respectable people. This
requirement is met with in THE
EVENING JOURNAL. No matter
what your business, you can pre-
sent il with profit in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL.

Potatoes With Mint.

Quite the most delicious way OF
cooking new potatoes is to place them
in boiling water with two or three
sprigs Of fresh mint When the pota-
toes have been cooked and drained, a
little melted butter should be poured
over them. The mint adds a most
delicate but not at all an obtrusive
flavor Instead of trying to peel new
potatoes the English cook removes the
skins by rubbing them very hard with
an extremely stih brush. This leaves
them both white and smooth and OBJ
viates the necessity Of peeling them
after cooking.

is that in a sentence OF that kind. a
