VALUE or RIGHT BREATHING.
health Comes From Knowing How and
What to Breath.

Dust laden with the germs of consump-
ton or other diseases is Inhaled by all who
use the streets, but disease is not developed
unless the germs find conditions suitable
for their lodgmeut and growth,
With people having catarrh there is au
ideal culture medium for these germs, as
the rritated membrane and weakened
tissues is ID hot-bed where germs must
thrive and multiply until they are numer-
GUS and active
If you have catarrh, you should use the
easiest, simplest and quickest cure, the
direct method of Hyomei, whose wonderful
medicated air is taken in with the air you
breathe, directly following and destroying
all germs that have been inhaled, repairing
any damage they may have worked aud SO
healing and vitalzng the tissues as to
render catarrh and germ infection no longer
possible.
The unusual way in which Hyomei is
sold should dispel all doubt as to its cura-
tive properties, for A. A. HOwes & Co.
offer to refund the price to anyone whom it
fails to benefit. You do not risk a cent in
testing the healing virtues of this breath Of
life, for with every S10O outfit A. A. HOwes

Receiver for the Largest FIGURING

Minneapolis, Minn.-As a step to-
ward reorganization, certain stock
holders and holders of the Pillsbury-
Washburn Flour Milling companys
paper on Saturday petitioned the fed
eral district court for the appointment
of receivers to direct the business.
The petition was granted. The appl-
cation for receivers has created sur
prise, but 1t is not expected to cause
any furry in milling or hnanciai
circles. The milling interests in Min
neapolis have enjoyed an exceptional
ly good year, and the conditions that
affected the Pillsbury-Washburn COM
pany have been peculiar to that Or
ganization, bad management being
charged. The indebtedness OF the
company is set at more than $4,000
600, without security. The book value
of the company's property exceeds
s15,O00,000.

Then some scintillating genius

hands down an opinion that the 'un-
biased" judge is an Ass" or words to
that effect, and the injunction is dis
solved.
Thereupon the "four-fushers" hold
additional meetings in which they de-
nounce the supreme courts, and. as
soon as new set OF authorities come
into power, resume the old bluff" of
asking that the business which they
do not like be suppressed.
