A JOYFUL PASTIME
It's Really Pleasure to Cure catarrh
by BREATHING Hvomei.

by Breathing Hyomei.
It isn't a pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to shock
the tender membrane of the nose and
throat with disagreeable sprays and
douches.
But strange to say there are few
thousand people who do not keep
abreast of the times, who are hoping
against hope that these ancient meth
DDS will rid them of catarrh.
If the readers of Marshalltown who
suffer from catarrh want to Danish this
vile and disgusting disease forever go
to Mcbride & Will Drug Company to-
day and get a complete Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me) outfit for 800.
If 1t doesn't cure 1t won't cost you
a cent because Mcbride & Will Drug
Company win give you your money
back.
Hyomei is so simple and pleasant to
use; pour few drops from the bottle
into the inhaler and breathe 1t In. AS
1t passes over the membrane and into
the lungs with the air you breathe IT
soothes the raw membrane and kills
the catarrh germs. Don't experiment
longer. Leading druggists everywhere
sell Hyomei for catarrh. coughs colds,
bronchitis. ETC.. Drop postal for our

that town.
Mrs. Kirk was a native of Ireland and
is possessed OF all the fine traits OF

A little later. Mr.. Van Torp was
looking out for chance to speak
alone with Lady Maud, and az soon
as he found his opportunity he told
her what Stemp had said. Strangely
enough, 1t had never occurred to him
that such remarkable beard as Kra-
linsky's must have taken long time
to grow, and that Leven, who had
none, had not left London more than
three months ago. He watched the
effect Of this statement on his friends
face. but to his surprise she remained
grave and sad.
ri cannot help It," she said in a
tone of conviction. HE must be
Leven, whatever stemp tells you about
his beard"
We'll, then It's false beard, and
will come Off," observed Mr.. Van
Torp. with at least equal gravity.
"Stemp says that's impossible, but he
must be wrong, unless you are"
TITS real" Lady Maud said, "and
he is my husband. I've talked to him
all day, and he knows things about
my life that no one else could, and II
there are others about which he Is
vague. that must be because he is
pretending, and does not want to
show that he knows everything"
Van Torp shook his head, but re.
NAMED unconvinced; Lady Maud did
not change her mind either, and was
already debating with herself as to
whether 1t would not be really wiser
to speak out and tell Kralinsky that
she had recognized him under hia
transparent disguise. She felt that
she must know the worst, II she was
ever to rest again.
Neither Margaret nor Mrs. Rush
more had ever seen Leven, and they

really going on under their eyes. They
only saw that Lady Maud was making
q dead set at the count, and If Mar

If it is not this one, it will be an
