Trying to Impress acquaintances
with your superiority Is unsatisfactory
work when you are short Of material.
The worst thing about a bad temper
Is that 1t always chooses Il most unde-

1t Is too much to expect even of a
wise man that he be wise all the time

HlGH-O-ME
HIGH-O-ME
That's the Way to Pronounce Hyo-
mel, the M0ney-BdCk Catdrrh
Cure.

AS doubt exists in the minds of many
readers of The Reporter let us say that
the above is the proper pronunciation
of Americas most wonderful catarrh
cure. L. P. Van Werden is the agent
for Hyomei in Leon and he will sell you
an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, and full
instructions for use, for only $l.00.
And if it fails to cure acute or chronic
catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, Group, hay
fever or coughs and colds. he will give
you your money back. The person who
suffers from catarrh after such an offer
as that, must like to shuttle, spit and
wheeze, and be generally disgusting.
Read what Mr.. G. f. Lowe says:
II have used Hyomei for case Of
nasal catarrh which had bothered me
for long time. can say that Hyomei
killed the germs of the disease and
gave me the much sought and needed
relief. From this experience l know
Hyomei to be reliable remedy, and l
give it the praise and recommendation
that it deserves" &C. F. Lowe, RE-. D.

Mrs. J. A. Evans.

Blanche Osborn Evans, daughter of
John W. and Jennie Osborn was born
January s, 1886, and departed this
life at her home northwest of Lineville
on April 20, 1909, age % years, months
and Il days. She was united in marri-
age to J. A. Evans, December "a, 1904.
To this union was born two children,
Dorothy aged 8 years, and little Harry
aged months. The deceased leaves a
father, three brothers and one sister, a
husband and two children, besides a
host Of friends and relatives to mourn
her loss.
Funeral services were held at the
home, conducted by Rev. J. L. Nicker-
son, after which the remains were laid
to rest in the Eden cemetery. The be.
reaved husband and relatives have the
sympathy Of the community in their sad
hour of gloom, but 20 that you may be
comforted in this great sorrow by him
who bore your griefs, and carried your
SORROWS, instead Of your hearts being
sorely troubled may heaven be SO real
and Jesus presence 40 sweet to you,
that yonr soul, will be- full of gratitude
and praise to our Heavenly Father for
permitting her to spend SO many days
with you.

will Test Ice Cream

Summer is coming and State Food and
Dairy Commissioner Wright is on the
job with fire in his eye for the man who
uses too much gelatine or not enough
cream in turning out the national hot.
weather dish which in few weeks will
be dispensed from every corner drug
store.
For the first time Mr.. Wright is to
use his inspectors and deputies in a
crusade for pure ice cream and in every
city of the state they will begin a still
hunt for ice cream containing more
than per cent of gelatine or less than
II per cent of butter fat.
These are the standards for ice cream
fived by the national pure food act, but
the Iowa law does not set standard
and Commissioner Wright must con.
vince justice or jury that the product
is clearly deficient before he can hope
for conviction. The standard for ice
cream is fixed by the Iowa law as 1;
per cent of butter fat, and Mr.. Wright
figures that after adding sugar and flaw
oring this proportion should not be re
duced in the final product to less thai
II per cent.
Ice cream is now manufactured il
great quantities by many Iowa factories
and the output of the plants will b,
tested first.
Mr.. Wright says that cleanliness il
manufacture is even more importan
than product with the required pc
cent of butter fat and an effort will b,
made to secure cleanliness in the fac
tories where ice cream is made. Ii
most factories the cream is made in
| dark cellar or recess far from sunligh
and fresh air, and the likelihood for un
sanitary conditions is therefore partic
ularly great.

MAY WEATHER..
What Hicks Promises for the Bal
anCe of This Month.

A reactionary storm period falls on
the 18th, 18th and 18th and but for the
fact that all central parts of our CONT
nent are in the focus of solar energy,
storm producing causes are about at
the minimum at this period. AS rule
there is an abnormal tendency to daily
cycles of thunder storms for several
days in succession in much of this
month, bnt the indications are that
disturbances will be light at this re-
dictionary period. The barometer will
react to higher and change to decidedly
cooler will appear from about tho 18th
to the 10th. 1t is very common for
frosts to occur in most parts of the
northward between the 10th and 18th
of May, but there are no decided prob
abilities of heavy frosts at this time.
A regular storm period will be in
force from the 18th to the Goth, having
its center on the 18th. Sudden change
to very warm will appear westward on
the 18th, attended by falling barome ter
and other decided indications of coming
storms. These conditions will widen
in extent and grow more intense as they
move eastward, causing series of
heavy rain, wind and thunder storms
from the 10th to 10Th. There are no
abnormal reasons to apprehend danger
GUS storms at this time, and yet lorna
does are entirely possible. Change to
higher barometer and much cooler will
be natural from about the 10Th to the
23rd, the change of course passing pro-
gressively from west to east, carrying
with it fair and clearing weather.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 23rd, oath and 18th. Only moder-
ate and brief change in weather con.
ditions will take place between this and
the closing storm period of the month
causing prolonged threatening spell
of weather, with possibly cooler about
the Goth and 9th.
A regular storm period covers the
, 18th to 3lst, being central on the Goth
This period is at the elimination of the
mercury disturbance and is apt to brine

storms, should not be unlocked for. Thu

and more placid, upon the whole, thai
for two or three years past.

RAILROAD STORY UNCONFlRMED.
Letter from Railroad Commission
ers' Office Regarding Keokuk
and Western.

Finding in newspaper published on
the line of the keokuk and Western
railroad, east Of Clarinda, a story that
it was certain or nearly SO that through
train service between Chicago and Lin
coin, by way of the keokuk and Western
road, through Clarinda, would be estab-
lished next month, the publishers of
the Clarinda Journal wrote to the Iowa
State board Of railroad commissioners
for information in regard to the rel
ability of the story, that board having
been mentioned as connected with the
information in regard to the suggested
service. In reply the following letter
has been received at The Journal office:
Estate of Iowa, The Board of Railroad
Commissioners, Des Moines April 26,.
1909 -Kenea & Lane. Clarinda, Iowa
Gentleman: have your favor of the
23d with clipping. This is matter
know nothing about. 1t may have
grown out of some conversation had
with members of the board regarding G..
B. & @. train service. However there is
nothing on record in this office referring
to the matter at this time. If anything
should come up shall be pleased to adj
wise you. Very truly yours, Dwight n.
Lewis, secretary"
The foregoing letter was evidently
authorized by member of the board, N.
S. Ketchum, as it bears in corner the
J typewriter initials, IN. S. X" The
letter should be accepted as authentic
evidence that although regretted there
is no public assurance of the establish
mont of additional passenger service on
the line of the Keokuk and Western
road, and the letter by Mr.. Lewis indi-
Gates that it is doubtful if there is any
private assurance in respect thereto.

Cured to me that the readers who are
interested in poultry raising could help

some serious trouble and have found a
good remedy. We raise several hundred
chickens every year. The last two years

from roup. used many remedies, none
of them successful, SO took to using

costly. recently saw an advertise
ment in your paper for Walkers Roup

the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. H l, La.

of SO hens that had the roup bad saved
all but three. can't speak too strong
of the treatment for it certainly does

kidneys send out thin, pale and
foamy, or thick, red ill-smelling urine
full of sediment and irregular of pas

Danger signal No. , comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy or
sharp and acute, tell you of sick kid
neys and warn you Of the coming of
dropsy, diabetes and Brjght's disease
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
and cure them permanently.
Mrs. Elsie Armstrong, living on
Madison st. Mt. Ayr, Iowa, says: This
spring | used three boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills and they cured me of :
most painful case of lumbago, caused
from disordered kidneys. These organs
were very active and the secretions
caused me great annoyance. In the
morning would be lame and stiff and
it was hard for me to do my work. Hav-

The report that came out in last

a correction made in the Cedar

the week before issue, was false
report, az the author of said re
port we'll knew. Mr.. Ward gave
the Cedar Grove correspondent
leave to use his name whenever he
saw fit in the county papers
Correspondents should be careful
about speaking about correction
unless they are authorized to do
so, 1t Is best if anyone does not
want their name used to notify the
editor themselves, then the editor
will know that is correct. Core
spondents should be careful, how
ever, and not use anyone's name
in the paper unless it harmon zes
with their wishes. And never use
anything in our papers that would
reflect on the character of anyone,
and by SO doing peace and har.
mony will prevail. We want to
send our editor news of such char
scter that the readers of his paper
will be pleased to read. We do
