A SURPRISED MINISTER.
Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh After
He Had Given Up in Despair.

TIC Tau aiSS1 Up III OCSkJdHs
For many years l have been a suf-
ferer from bronchial catarrh. and had
oespaired of anything like a cure.
Judge of my pleasant surprise when l
first used Hyomei, which brought CON-
plete relief Hyomei has been verit-
able godsend."
Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio.
There are many readers of the Argus
who are suffering from catarrh. either
nasal or bronchial. Many of these
despair OF ever being cured. They have
soaked their stomachs with nostrums
until they are disguised with all medi-
cines, and arc now travelling their mis-
cradle way, allowing the devilish germs
of catarrh 20 sap them of their health,
energy and vitality.
But let us reason together. H O..
Rolls, the druggist, has guaranteed
remedy for catarrh, colds, coughs,
bronchitis, Group, and all infiamma-
tory diseases of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes. The name of this
remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and
if it doesn't cure H. o. Rolls will give
you your money back.
Eyomie pronounced High-o-me) is
redicated air; you just breathe it
through the inhaler over the infiamed
and germ ridden membrane, and its
soothing antiseptic properties will al
lay the Inflammation, destroy the
germs, and restore the entire respira-
tory tract to it's normal conditions.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
hard rubber inhaler, costs but 81
and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if after
wards needed, costs but so cents. Sec

yer Engine works of Freeport has
made a deal whereby the John Deere
Pow company will handle Slower en-
gines throughout the Kansas City ter
ritory. The Slower product is the re-
suit of 40 years experience in the
manufacture of machinery, during ii
years of which the company has made
gasoline engines. The trade is con-
stantly increasing, both at home and
abroad, and this is conclusive evidence
of the quality of the engine and the

The police say that Vyncke has almost
lost his mind. He has not eaten any
thing for several days. He imagines
that someone IS constantly lying in
wait to rob him. Vyncke appeared
before the grand jury Friday and told
a plausible story about the robbery.
He did not leave the court house all
day, and late in the afternoon Ser
geant DeJaeger was notified. The To-
cal officer went to Rock Island and
brought Vyncke here and locked him
up.

NoRTH POLE Is OURS.

a GAIN America has led the way The
= = North Pole may be ours by the right of dis
covery DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the American
explorer, has reached the North Pole if his
statements are to be believed. There is no more
reason to doubt them than there would be to
doubt the assertions of any other reputable ex-
plorer who might claim that he had made the
journey @
Some Washington scientists may be little
skeptical. They will wait for proofs. So ex-
perienced an explorer as DR.. Cook must have
realized the Importance Of keeping records and
making observations that would be accepted as
proof by the scientific world. He has given
a brief but thrilling account Of his journey.
When he returns he will doubtless be able to
substantate any claim that he may make.
Perhaps there is little skepticism because
II was not expected that DIR, Cook would make
the discovery He has not been sensational
explorer so far as publicity is concerned. Other
men bcve been more in the public eye. IN fact,
% as5 ,he - occasions geographers paid little at
tenton 20 him. IL is related that at dinner
of gcographers several years ago while DR.,
Cook was speaking Colonel Roosevelt appeared
and DR.. Cook was forgotten.
Peary was picked as the man TO win in the
dash to the pole. DIR. Cook however, has a fine
record as an explorer, as a man of<.great
courage and daring He is not a new man in
the field of mountain climbing or in the field of
Arctic and Antarctic exploration.
Until there is proof to the contrary the world
VIII accept ulS Statements OF the american eN-
plorer which have been confirmed by two others
who accompanied him on the Journey
It was a wonderful feat For ages there has
been a facnaton about the far Northern regions
that has lured navigators to endure the hard
ships of such journeys. Lives have been sacr;-
feed and failure after failure has been encounter.
ed, but one explorer has followed another in the
effort to reach the Pole. Men of all nations have
sought the undiscovered place, and it is a crown
ing achievement for this country that an Ameri-
can is the one to reach the goal
The discovery will, of course. be Of more in
terest TO the scientists than to the ordinary man.
The latter looks upon it as feat requiring tre-
rnendous courage and endurance. Dr. Cook has
changed the map, made for himself an mper-
ishable name in history and solved the mystery
Of the North Pole. That is glory enough for
any man.
