CURE CATARRH-
It's Easy, Pleasant, and Costs but
Trifle.


How many readers of the Register
know that in Island Australia where the
mightiest of eucalyptus trees grow in
abundance, that there is no consump-
ton, catarrh or diseases of the respira-
tory tract.
The refreshing balsam thrown out by
these trees fills the air and is breathed
into the lungs by the inhabitants and all
germ life is destroyed.
If you have catarrh you cannot go tC
Inland Australia except at great expense
but you can breathe right in your own
home the same pleasant, soothing heal
ing, germ killing air you would breathe
if you were living in the eucalyptus dis
trict of Australia.
Just breathe HYOMEI; 1t is made
from Australian eucalyptus and scien-
tifically combined with thymol and other
Historian antiseptics.
Pour a few DIR, ps of HYOMEI into the
inhaler and breathe it. AS it passes over
the catarrh infected membrane it kills
the germs and heals the raw, inflamed
surface.
HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure Ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, Group and sore
throat, or money back. Complete outfit
including inhaler $l.OO Extra bottle
of HYOMEI cost but 80 cents. Sold by
w. Ii. Sheldon aud druggists every
where.
To break up cold in head or chest in a
few minutes, pour teaspoonful of Hy-
omei into IA bowl of boiling water, cov-l
head and bowl with towel and breathe
the vapor.

Evalna loftily, and then she bushed

sobbed bitterly. you have mortified

so it happened that the tall form of
DR.. Massen darkened Evalina's door
way once more.
She did not look at him, but led the
way directly to Aunt Harriet's side.
She stood apart and reluctantly con-
fessed to herself that his skill was far
superior to that of the old doctor His
terse questioning, his kindly manner,
his quick diagnosis of Aunt Harriet's
battling case, opened a world of en-
enlargement for both women.
Evalina found herself flying to do
his bidding. An hour afterward they
were chatting like old friends across
Aunt Harriet's contented face.

Evalina in the next room was again
an eavesdropper. but this time she
was silent. Her hand rested lightly

her eyes.

thought Evalina before she awoke to
trembling realization of what the adj

promptitude.
Thereupon followed a conversation
that would better be called an inquisi-

ing the life of John Massen that Aunt
Harriet did not ask His past was
laid bare for Aunt Harriets inspec-
ton, and then she in turn told the
simple story of Evalina's self sacrific-

Doctor B. F. Dixon.
New Bern Journal.

Doctor Dixon was SO character
istically and eminently a. North Caro-
linian that it could we'll be said, no
town, city or section of the State
could claim him for it's own, and it is
equally hard to place DR.. Dixon,

gifts, with his varied experiences,
first in the days OF the war, later, in
the ministry, as a physician, as an
educator, as State auditor, as a
statesman, each and every one we'll
and thoroughly filled, with rich
genial humor, q wit that charmed,
never hurt, broad spirit OF Chris
tianity that included every man, can
it be any surprise that this cultured
and liberal minded North Carolinian
numbered not acquaintance, but
close friends by the thousands, only
limited by those who had the op-
portunity to have met him.
It is in such life as that of Doctor
Dixon's, that the world gains, that
humanity is uplifted, that commu-
mites and q State is blessed. 1t en-
riches, ennobles, it gives to men in
spiration, hope, courage. Truly the
generation is blessed in every sense,
that has such man as B. L. Dixon.
Such a life is an enduring monument
in the hearts of his people, monu-
ment that points the way to Others
to live and do, as did this beloved
North Carolinian, Benjamin Franklin

FOR GOOD ROADS.

President Finley, of the Southern
Railway, Speaks Before Southern
Appalachian Good Roads Congress
In knoxviIie-Makes an Earnest Plea
for Construction of an Improved
System of Highways Throughout
Southeastern States-the Farmer
Who Is vitality Interested.
Knoxville, Tenn, October 6, 1910.
President W. W. Finley, OF the
Southern Railway Company, deliver
ed an address here today before the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads
Congress in which he made an earnest
plea for the construction of an i'm
proved system of highways through
out the Southeastern States, ,stressing
the Importance OF wagon roads as a
feature of transportation. He de-
clared that it is the farmer who is
most vitality interested in the i'm
provement of the county roads but
that all are interested in the welfare
OF the farmer and in making con-
ditions in the country so attractive
as to turn the drift OF population
back from the cities to the farms.
Road conservation was advocated
by Mr.. Finley In the line Of having
improvements made on those roads
radiating from market and shipping
points. which are naturally of the
greatest service to the farming popu-
lation. The employment Of compe-
tent road engineers by each county
was recommended, as was the is
suance of bonds to pay the first cost
of expensive road Improvement.
As illustrating the Importance OF
good roads to the farmer Mr.. Finley
gave facts showing the relative cost
Transportation over good and bad
wagon roads and over highways as
follows:
Wagon road transportation is now
the least economically efficient form
