A PLEASANT WAY
TO CURE CATARRH

Poor deluded victims!

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 prepared
especially to kill catarrh germs.
Just breathe it in, that's all. 1t gives

For Nomination as Sheriff.
HARRY d COLE ANNOUNCES THAT HE
WILL BE A CANDIDATE.

SOUTH PARIS, Nov. 20, 1909.
Editor Democrat:
| wish to announce through your
columns that shall be candidate for
the Republican nomination for sheriff of
Oxford County next year.
Coming last January to take the
position of jailer from Woodstock, l
should consider that my nomination
would give recognition to the claims of
that strong Republican town, which has
had no share in the county offices for
many years.
II elected, should endeavor to give a
full and impartial enforcement of all the
laws, and should exercise the same dill
geuce especially in the enforcement of
the liquor laws as | have so far done,
which | think would be satisfactory in
this county of strict enforcement.
| should also be so situated that
should make my headquarters at the
county buildings, and devote my time to
the duties of the office without inter-
ference by other business.
