Anders Jacobsen Sells a Remedy fol
 Catarrh on that Liberal Basis.

Breathe Hyomei over the germ-rid den membrane. and it will kill tho germs, and cure catarrh.
 There is no other way-you must get where the germs are before you can destroy them.
 And when catarrh germs have dis. appeared, other things will happen there will be no more hawking, not even in the morning; that offensive breath will disappear; there will be no more obnoxious mucous, or cough. ing, or sneezing, or huskinees oi voice, or difficulty in breathing All these disagreesble accessories of the demon catarrh will disappear, and as they go the glow of health will re- turn, and all the strength and energy that was formerly used in combating the inroads of catarrh, will bring back your vitality and ambition, will make new, healthy, happy being of you in a few weeks.
 finders Jacobsen will sell you a complete Hyomei outfit for $1 co. This inlcudes a fine inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei (pronounced High-o me ], and instructions for use. Sold by leading druggists every where Extra bottles 50 cents. And bear in mind, money back if Hyomei doesn't cure.

A GREAT MANS TELEPHONE.

His great instrument was the tele- phone. said a biographer of the late Edward H. Hartman in the Wall Street Journal "Ha always had it beside him. The Hartman switch beard was one of the best equipped and the busiest in New York. Whether In his office, his library, his bedroom or his bathroom, the tele- phone was always there, and when he went into the Oregon wilderness She telephone would go. too.
 "A slave to the telephone. wrote a New, York editor in commenting on Hartman and his telephone Nonsense, said Hartman. when this was called to his attention, the tele- phone is a slave to me.
 It is altogether likely that much of the power and influence of the late MT. Hartman was due to the aid of his telephone. In fact. he admitted as much. His telephone was his ever present messenger. always ready for service. With 1t he reached all of his business associates and every corner of his vast railroad territory. man who puts the telephone in his home places himself in the avenue of approach to millions of other homes, shops, offices and farms.
 Just as with the railroad king, so it is with farmers and men in all other walks of life. The telephone in the home or business place of many 8 man less famous than Harri- man is performing a work just as great in importance, and perhaps is proving even more of a blessing than to the capftaIist whose every com mand could be carried out. The in- strument was probably just as import ant in the mind of the farmer who wrote:
 "I would as soon think of moving my hay with an old d-fashioned scythe as try to conduct my farm successful ly without a telephone. !"
 Throuzhout the farming world the telephone o-day is popular and use ful instrument It was not so long ago when it's use in rural sections was un- heard of. Now it is the farmers greatest aid in business, in home life and for protection. He sells his crops with the aid of the telephone, catch ing 8 fiuotuating market at its very tip. Iu the spreading of weather re- ports it has saved many thousands of dollars every season to the fruit growers of the country. It brightens the lives and enriches the social op- portunities of the wives and daughters on the farm. It is their protection against hoboes and marauders when the men folks are away Perhaps it's greatts st service is in bringing nearer to lome the physician and the veteri- nary, in Rus& trirg instantly every emeIg' noy of ialm life.
 The telt phones on tarms are grow ing more and more popular, ana rumeTCus The statement is mRde uy the Hester Elt ct. ic company n anufacturCr If the Bell" telt
 homes, ,ha, over 100, 900 of its new tsp pc of rural tel, phore5 have been ,od in the at t. Il months There are now olIse to two million tele- homes on farms in this country.
 N hen President Roosevelt's Country Life Commission went among the farmers last year, hearing testimony on conditions of farm life, it reported that the greatest encouragement to ia ming of the better sort and more heaIthful life in country districts was gwen by just such agencies as good roads, the extension of the rural mail system and the farm telephone.
