OLD ALEXANDRIA.

II all the great men who have lived
in Alexandra could return to these
eattbly scenes and gather in the old
Virginia city, 1t would be a most dis
tiuguished throug, for Alexandria has
been the home or abiding place of many
great men whose names live in the his
tory Of the country. 10 the time of the
civil war Alexandria was under the
guns OF the north, but the hearts Of her
people were true to the Old Dominion.
There is ID bitter feeling now, the sons
aud daughters who are at the old home
this week came from the north and west
az we'll az from the south, and they are
one people. Few towns In the whole
land can boast OF more historic places
aud objects than Alexandra, and the
sight of these, along with the warm and
hospitsble welcome he received will
amply repay the president for his visit
baltimore Sun.

ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER
WILL VANISH.

Everybody knows that Hyomei
cures catarrh. But there are many
sufferers from asthma and hay fever
who don't know that Hyomei will give
them instant relief and if used regu-
larly, permanent cure.
But F. w. Buchanan knows so we'll
what Hyomei will do that he guaran-
tees it to cure catarrh, hay fever and
asthma.
Surely it's worth trial on that basis
and why people continue to choke
and wbeeze and spit and hawk and
shuttle when a certain cure is at hand
is beyond the comprehension of hu-
man intelligence.
When you breathe Hyomci deep in
to your lungs you breathe exactly
the same pleasant antiseptic balmy
air that you would breathe in the for
ests of pine and eucalyptus of inland
Australia.
