A JOYFUL PASTIME
It's Really Pleasure to Cure Cat
arrh by Breathing Hyomei

1t 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 a 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 the Banner who
suffer from catarrh want to Danish
this vile and disgusting disease for
ever, go to VIM. l.. Gokay today and
get a complete Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me) outfit for Sl00.
If it doesn't cure it won't cost you
q cent because VIM. l.. Gokay will
give you your money back.
Hyomei is so simple and pleasant
to use; pour a few drops from the
bottle into the inhaler and breathe 1t
in. AS it 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 drug
gists everywhere sell Hyomei for cat
arrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, etc

Probably no one disease causes so much
pain and suffering as piles or hemorrhoids.
The victims are often in agony. Each
attack seems worse and more stubborn.
Work or business is impossible. The nerves
are racked, the system debilitated by loss
of blood and the end is an operation.
Piles are the penalty of neglect. The
one chief cause Of this trouble is constipa-
ton. When the bowels are clogged the
trouble begins. These sensitive, painful
tumors are the result. If you are afflicted
with piles begin with Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills at once, and get full free
passage of the bowels without pain or
gripping. Take two of these wonderful lit
tie pills at night and two more the next
morning. Then take one or two pills every
night at bedtime for few days. You will
find that Smiths Pineapple and Butternut
Pills will cleanse the entire system, purify
the blood, invigorate the liver and so reg
ulate your bowels that piles will disappear.
Physicians use and recommend. They
form no habit. You should always keep
these little Vegetable Pills on hand. They
ward off many ills.

Jails met with the commissioners of
Somerset county on Monday. Sep
TENDER 20, to consider the question
of the building of an addition to the
county Jail
1t will be remembered that some
months ago the Inspectors met in
conference with the Commissioners
and discussed very thoroughly the
needs of a workshop in connection
with the County Jail. and that it was
then agreed at the first possible OPP
portunity the project should be IN
dertaken. The Inspectors, acting un-
der authority given them by the
State, ordered that work be begun
forthwith, and the meeting on Mon
day was to settle the matter definite
ly.

commissioners have decided shall
be built will provide room for
workshop on the first floor, while on
the second floor there will be addi

INSPECT COUNTY ROADS.
Hearings We're Held-Roads In Good
Condition.

The county commissioners have
just completed their annual inspec-
ton of the roads of Somerset county,
the trip taking them from here to
Harmony, where two hearings were
held, thence to Brighton and May
field, thence to Bingham, Jackman
and The Line. The commissioners
acted favorably on one of the propos-
ed roads In Harmony, and at Bling
ham they laid out a piece of road
which was favorably acted upon last
spring.
The commissioners report good
condition of the roads, except at the
foot of The Line Hill which is a bad
wet place. This, however, is being
repaired. 1t was planned to put a
concrete abutment at the Moose Riv-
er Bend at Jackman, but 1t was found
advisable to put In FOG abutment
instead.
This trip is made at this time be-
cause of the new requirements of the
statutes. 1t is specified that the In
spection of county roads shall be
made in the month Of September.
