Charlie Norvall, the Seattle lad, who
came here touted as a coming light
weight champ, but who failed to do
what was expected, Is back in harness
again and is a prospective opponent for
Antoine La Grave. Apparently the
lad who fought q draw with poor old
Bat Nelson is not the best card in the
world for Frisco fans. for If the match
Is made he and NorVall will meet in
Oakland before the Wheelmen's club.
Battered Nelson will still be able to

HARD TO SECURE MATCH

The College Inn bowling team is up

some one to split pins with. The boys
have been rolling UP some pretty dig

challenge to any team to come through

The week before last the TUFTS

the College Inn boys scored 556 pins

. Good Way to Use Hyomei

besides breathing through the in
haler a few times a day, many ca
tarrh sufferers write that they find
Iinhallng Hyomei from bowl of
steamng water each night before
retiring a great aid in curing stub
born cases.
Try Il; it's very simple: gives
quick relief and makes you breathe
easier.
Fill a bowl half full OF boiling
water; pour into the water half
teaspoonful OF Hyomei, cover head
and bowl with towel and breathe
through nose and mouth the medicat-
ed antiseptic and healing vapor that
arises.
This method relieves that stufness
at once aud makes your head feel
clear.
You can get a bottle OF Hyomei at
druggists everywhere or at Gihberts
drug store for only SO cents. ASK
for extra bottle Hyomei Inhalent.
But bear In mind II YOU want a
Hyomei inhaler YOU must buy n CON-
plete outfit which only costs si.O0.
But as stated before; II you al
ready own an inhaler a bottle Of Hy-
omei costs but so cents.
Hyomei is guaranteed by druggists
everywhere and by Gilbert's drng
store to cure catarrh sore throaat
coughs, colds, rose fever. asthma and

that generous basis.
