WOMAN'S INALIENABLE RIGHT.
A most insidious attack against the

made by the Atlanta man who is seek

promissory note for $4,000 on the
ground that she hypnotized him into

Immediately throughout the suffra gette
ranks. Should the court decide in this
mans favor, the diamonds of no fair
one would be safe and the whole pro-
cedure governing breach of promise
cases would have to be revised. If this
plea should ever come into general use
among the masculine sex it could be
used for an excuse to escape from every
obligation that had become wearisome'
"A hypnotic eye, vulgarly known as
the goo-goo. has long been considered
one of the valuable possessions OF a vvo-
man. In the wise economy of nature It
was given her instead of the sweIIinc
biceps of the opposite sex. From tins
immemorial 1t was considered perfectly
ethical for her to exercise this power to
the fullest extent and to it society
owes most of its pleasure and proba bIv
its very existence. Should the hypnotic
influence of woman be put under Ia IN

would cease, since without if no man
would ever take upon himself its obli-
gations.-New York World.

Don't Swallow Drugs to

Hyomei pronounced High-o-me) is a
germ killing vapor of air which when
breathed either through the mouth or
nose, will kill catarrh germs and sooth
and heal the intlamed and mutilated
membrane.
Hyomei is such a powerful germ de-
stroyer that 1t penetrates every fold
and crevice of the mucous membrane
of the nose and throat. And it kills the
catarrh germs because it gets where
those health destroyers are.
Hyomei is pleasant to use; it is made
from concentrated extract of pine and
eucalyptus taken from trees in inland
Australia where catarrh was never
known.
Breathe in this pleasant, healing yet
germ killing air (you'n like to use Hy-
