A PLEASANT WAY TO CURE
CATARRH.

Poor deluded victims,
Continually sprinkling and spray
ing and stomach dosing.
What are you doing it for?
Trying to kill the catarrh germs?
Might just as well try to kill a
cat with fresh milk.
Sticking a piece of chewing gum in
the upper left hand corner of the
right ear would slaughter just as
many germs.
You can't kill the germs that cause
catarrh unless you get where they
are.
You can get where the germs are
by breathing Hyomei. the powerful
yet soothing antiseptic. which is pre-
pared especially to kill catarrh
germs.
Just breathe it in, that's all. 1t
gives joyful relief in five minutes.
1t is guaranteed by the Harper
house pharmacy to cure catarrh, or
money back.

Miss Jeanette Ingle, one of tho
teachers in the Minnehaha school,
whipped an unruly boy with a rubber
hose and was temporarily suspended
fer doing SO, before consent of parents
was procured. She was restored by
the board of education, but cautioned
not to repeat the offense. Teachers
are handicapped by rigid rules, and
pupils can be as impertinent as they
please, knowing that teachers are re-
ishment. Fond parents do not like the
teachers to whip their darlings and
Will not give them permission. The
result is that the boys start out in If:
disobeying and defying those placed
