HERE'S THE PROOF
But Besides Catdrrh, Hyomei Cures
Grip, Coughs and Colds, Group
And Asthma
Read; If You are A Sufferer from
Catarrh, Reason And Reflect.

"My wife and will swear that Hyo-
mel cured me of the worst case of
catarrh that ever existed. used to
cough constantly at night, and had a
dropping in the throat, which kept me
awake great deal. I raised thick
phlegm, and was in horrible condition.
However, l am entirely cured solely
through the use of Hyomei.'
DR.. Philip 2. Hart, Laconia, n. II.
Reader, this is one of thousands of tes-
timonials praising the marvellous cura-
tive power Of Hyomei. If you are a
sufferer, why not try it? L. P. Van
Werden guarantees it, and will refund
your money if it fails to cure. Hyomei
is not stomach nostrum; it is dry an,
tiseptic and indicated air, and all air
and all you have to do to cure any dis
ease of the nose, throat or lungs, is tc
breathe it in through the Hyomei in
haler. A Hyomei outfit including a
scientific inhaler, only costs S1.00. Gel
one today. Subsequent treatment il
only so cents a bottle. Get one now. L
| P. Van Werden takes all the risk. He
guarantees it.

AS the Aldrich currency bill passed
the senate it provides for not more
than S5O0,000,000 of emergency cur
reney to be issued to national banks
upon the deposit by them of state,
county and municipal bonds, to be ap-
proved by the secretary of the treasury.
The currency is to be issued with a
view to securing an equitable distribu-
tion of the currency over the United
States and in accordance with the I'M
impaired capital and surplus of banks
in each state. Banks are to pay for
this emergency circulation one.half of
one per cent month during the first
four months it is circulated, and after
wards three-quarters of one per cent a
month. The bill provides that no banks
shall pay less than one per cent on
government funds deposited with them
AS amended, the bill carries an import
ant change in banking laws relating tc
bank reserves. This amendment pro,
vides that of the fifteen per cent
reserve required to be kept by the
banks not in reserve cities, four-ffths
of this is to be kept in the vaults; o.
that amount one-third can be in the
form of securities of the kind required
By another amendment the period dur
| ing which half of one per cent interes1
is to be charged, was changed from SIX
to four months after which three-fourth:

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepare this Simple Mixture at
Home by Shaking Ingredi-
ents Well in a Bottle.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by
a noted authority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case Of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be put
up If asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is often
prescribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no reason
why it would not be splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has peculiar action
uron the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and help
ing them to, sift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering
make no mistake in giving it trial

$1,000 For A Woman

There may be nothing new under the
sun, but when the Mummy Moves" is
certainly an original title for story.
1t is, of course, story of mystery and
is so ingenious and interesting a mys-
terry The Chicago Record Herald, in
which it appears serially, offers a first
prize of $1,000 to the woman who makes
the best solution, with lis other cash
prizes for women and girls who make
the best next solutions. The story be-
gins in the Record Herald Thursday,
April %, and the conditions of the con-
test will be found, accompanying each
installment, in that paper. Those who
have been unable to get the Record
Herald containing the early installments
may obtain reprint of those install

High prices for beefsteaks and pork
chops have followed the high prices
for corn and hay which flooded the live
stock market through January and
February. The farmers received high
prices for grain and low prices for
cattle and hogs, and now the house
holder is paying higher and higher
prices for his meats. This, curiously
enough, applies to hams cut from low
priced hogs. The receipts of live stock
now have become SO light in Chicago
that the rise in fresh meat is explained.
The cattle which should have been kept
back and fattened on good feed for
April and May consumption went to
market in January. This condition
probably will continue and prices will
go higher yet before the movement Of
range cattle commences, or until pres
ent stocks Of half-fed steers in Iowa
Illinois and Kansas are fattened and
shipped. This spring there will be an
advance in rents, milk and meats tc

LET US HAVE DEMOCRACY.

A short time ago in Chicago, before
an audience of 10000 people, Mr.. Bryan
answered the question, "Why Democ-
racy?' by saying: because the Demo-
cratic party is the only party sufficient
ly large to give hope of relief after
victory has been won.'
The answer is clear cut enunciation
of the reason why the party, whose
standard of leadership will later be
formally placed in the hands of the
speaker himself, is entitled to receive
the support of every voter regardless of
past affiliations, who is sincerely desir-
GUS of bringing about needed reforms in
our government, and his extended ar
gument in support of this claim will I'M
doubtedly receive serious consideration
at the hands of all such voters. In that
hope lies the prospect of assured Dem
ocratic success in the coming contest.
Democratic promises will be specific
and definite, as they have been in pre-
vious campaigns; while those of the OPP
position will be vague, indefinite and
protractive, their force weakened by
the party's past record of temp >rising
with and finally shelving all measures
proposing real relief to the masses from
present burdensome legislation.
"The Democratic party can claim the
right to carry out these reforms" boldly
proclaims Mr.. Bryan, ''tirst, because
that party is almost unanimously in
favor of reform, while in the Republi-
can party there is very large minority,
if not an actual majority, against any
and all important reforms. While the
Republican party is spending it's time
between reformers and standpatters,
the Democratic party is ready for action.
Then, too, Democratic administration
will, if elected, enter Office pledged to
specific reforms named in the platform,
while the Republican party will ask
the public to trust it to carry out such
reforms as may be outlined after the
election. In the one case, the people
know what to expect; in the other case
they are left in uncertainty"
Inspired by common impulse for re-
turn to those safe paths of benifcent
government marked out and trod by
Jefferson and Jackson, the democratic
party under the leadership of Mr.. Bryan
will enter the campaign united and
pledged to immediate action in the
carrying out of the reforms it boldly
proclaims as essential to the life of a
republican form of government in the
fullest meaning of the term, and it's past
record of consistency, constituting the
most glorious pages Of American history
will appeal with irresistible force tt
intelligent voters, having the best in
terest of the nation at heart, through
out the whole country.-St. Joe OBJ

Iowa Greatest. Egg Producer.

Iowa's fame as an egg producing state,
is further enhanced by very complete
article on the subject of Eggs" appear
ing in the current issue OF "What to-
Eat" the National Food Magazine. The
article shows that Iowa leads all the
states in the union iip the amount Of
eggs it Produces, and shows that the
egg business of the United States by far
outranks all other industries. "Ln this
country" says "What to- Eat, the egg
industry is assuming enormous proper
tions. Last year the hen laid more than
two billion dozen eggs, which sold for
more than three hundred E1illion dollars.
Iowa ranks first in the egg producing
states, its output for the last year
amounting to more than $50 million
DOZEN Further on, the article shows
that Ohio ranks next to Iowa in its egg
output; that state producing 120 million
dozen eggs last year, or SGfmilliom dozen
eggs less than Iowa.. Illinois ranks
third, the production there being SO
million dozen less than Iowa. Continu-
ing the article says: ''rhe eggs stored
| in this country last year amounted to
115, $40 Dozen, of which 33,750,0O0
dozen were stored in Chicago. These
storage eggs sold at aia average of l6a
cents dozen,,a little less than was paid
for them. Under normal condition they
would have sold for 10 cents dozen
Fifteen cents-a dozen is all that is being
offered for eggs for storage now, and
probably the price will go still lower
While in storage eggs are kept at a
temperature slightly above the freezing
point; they are never allowed to freeze
except when stored in bulk in tin cans
Eggs are placed in cold storage in Apri
and May and begin to enter the market
lin September.

A Better Leon.

Ii there was only one person living in
the world. he would have right to do
as pleased his fancy, or caprice. In so
doing he would not interfere with the
welfare or happiness of any other being.
That is not a tenable proposition,
from the fact that instead of only one
person, we have many million persons
in the world, and they live in many in
stances in such crowded conditions
that every act or movement of each
person has an influence more or less
upon the other members of the commun-
ity. In such conditions it becomes
necessary to so restrict our acts as not
to unnecessarily infringe on the rights
of our neighbor. For this reason some
form of government had to, be adopted,
that would make such rules and regu-
lations as would be for the best inter
est of all classes in the community.
In this way our laws are made. Be-
fore law can be accepted and obeyed
by a community, it must have the moral
support of the leaders in thought of
that community, or of majority of the
masses.
There is always logical reason for
the enactment of every law. but fire.
quently the people have to be educated
up to higher standard of living before
the law can be applied to it's condition
with satisfactory results. AS rule a
community that cheerfully complies
with all the provisions of law that are
applicable to it's condition, has more re-
inement, happier citizens, and better
homes than the community where law
is ignored, or reluctantly obeyed.
In some towns and small cities, we
are told, some business men keep their
stores open Of Sunday, just to accommo.
date the fellow who forgets to buy what
he needs on Saturday, but we are glad
that does not apply to Leon. In some
towns the restaurants keep open all
day Sunday, that the boys may have
some place to rest after Sunday school
and some place to spend their surplus
change, and that they may have place
to congregrate on Sunday evening
smoke, chew, spit on the sidewalk, anc
learn to be broad minded, noble men, o.
whom their parents may be proud. Blu
of course that would not apply to Leon
Our business men would blush will
shame at the thought Of being law
!; breakers, and should scorn the though
Of being examples OF low standard O
citizenship.
, We are proud of our city, and it's cit
| liens, and look forward to bette
