The Dalai was not anxious TO meet the
colonel Away he went into Mongolia. He
has been on a travelling education trip ever
since.
Woe upon the poor land through which
he passed. He must travel in style. His
ravenous crew OF followers must be fed.
his train must have hundreds Of cam

must be theirs. And the countryside, round
about provides all animals. etc, and foots
all bills.
Then when his train has been horsed,
housed and fed the untamed passions Of
these supposed celibates loose themselves
and womanhood in the country about is in
jeopardy. Entertaining the Dalai is not an
enviable job. He comes into a land which
is prosperous and happy; he leaves 1t poor
and devastated, II the walls from some of
the districts count for anything.
The people are glad to see him go. The
departure Of an unlimited guest whose
rough codger followers demand as their
right everything one has. for nothing, is a
happy event for a meek and long suffer
ing people.
But the Dalai was in no hurry to come to

With the farmers and laborers pre-
pairing to begin the work of making
another cotton crop, there are yet
hundreds of bales of the last crop
in the fields unpicked. Farmers re-
port almost without exception that
they have a considerable quantity
of ungathered cotton, many of them
as much as five or six bales and up
ward. The News has heard some
farmers say the past few days that
they had as much as ten or twelve
bales in the fields.
Efforts are being made to gather
this cotton where hands can be Sc
cured and when the weather will
permit, but the most of it, represent
ing thousands of dollars, will be lost.
Much of the cotton that is now
coming in is of poor grades, caused
by exposure before being picked, and
does not command more than Z or
s cents. Some of it is in such dam
aged condition that it cannot be sold

VALUE OF RIGHT BREATHING.
Health Comes From Konwing How
and What to Breathe.


Dust laden with the germs of con-
sumption or other disease is inhaled
by all who use the streets, bit dis
ease is not developed unless the
germs find conditions suitable for
their Judgment and growth.
With people having catarrh there
is an ideal culture medium for these
germs, as the irritated membrane and
weakened tissues is a hot-bed where
germs must thrive and multiply until
they are numerous 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, re-
pairing any damage they may have
worked and so healing and vitalizing
the tissues as to render catarrh and
germ infection no longer possible.
The usual way in which Hyomei
is sold should dispel all doubt as to
it's curative properties, for the Daw-
son Drug Co. and Peoples Drug
Store offer to refund the price to
anyone whom it fails to benefit. You
do not risk a cent in testing the heal
ing virtues of this breath of life, for
with every $1.00 outfit the Dawson
Drug Co. and Peoples Drug Store
give a guarantee to relieve catarrh or
refund the money.
