1t is a remarkable fact that hun
dreds of thousands of apparently sensl-
BILE men and women go on year after
year suffering agony and humiliation,
when a very simple and pleasant rem
edy would rid them of that detestable
disease catarrh in short order.
Hyomei pronounced High-o-mel
will give the sufferer from catarrh joy
full relief in five minutes.
1t is such a remarkable cure. and
so positive in its action that Wilkin-
son G. Co. go SO far as to guarantee 1T
to cure catarrh or money back.
And people who have cured them
selves of catarrh with Hyomei will tell
you that it is a most excellent remedy.
A complete outfit which consists of
q hard rubber pocket inhaler, bottle
o. Hyomei. and an unique dropper for
filling the inhaler, only costs one dol
lar. and if all extra bottle is after
wards needed the price is only 90
cents.
Hyome is a healing. antiseptic bal
sam taken from the mighty eucalyptus
trees in the health giving forests of
Australia. where diseases Of the respir-
atory tract are unknown.
All the sufferer has to do is to in
hale the antiseptic air of Hyomei over
the inf1amed parts where the germs
are entrenched three or four times a
day.
Soon the inflammation will subside.
the discharge of mucous will cease, the
hawking, splitting, snuffing and bad
breath will be thing of the past, and
all the strength and all the energy pre-
viously used to combat the ravishing

tive germs, will go to build up your

Won Yonson' is Coming.
Ben Hendricks has discovered that
a THEATRE going public is not only COM
petent to judge of a company and
its capability. but will patronize a Gre
alton that is peopled with performers
who know something about acting. In
his "Yon Yonson" company he has
gathered together company that is
far above what is ordinarily seen in
the presentation of plays of this sort.
No one will be filled with ennui when
when they fill a seat at the Grand
next Saturday evening, for the actors
are entertaining and secure all the
honey out of the lines given them.
"Yon Yonson' is of course quite ia
milar to theatre goers, the crowds
that have turned out in the past when

heartily and told us to take it back
to its owner. We were very sorry
to lose our turkey. When we told
the neighbor how it came to be
killed he though it a great joke.
After a hearty laugh at our
mistake, he said, "You deserve
that turkey" and gave it to us.
SO we did not feel so bad after all.
Grandma roasted it and we
thought it better than if it had
been a wild turkey.
