If you, dear reader, could spend
an hour looking over a few of the
thousands of testimonials that we
have on file, you would not go on
suffering from catarrh, that disgust
tally and weaken your entire sys-
tenn if allowed to continue.
You would have just as much
faith in HYOMEI as we have, and
we have so much confidence in it's
wonderful curative virtue that it is
sold the country over under a posi-
tive guarantee to cure catarrh, Group,
sore throat, coughs bind colds or
money back.
No stomach dosing when you
breathe HYOMEI. Just few drops
of liquid into the inhaler, and
breathe into it.
1t is mighty pleasant to use; it
opens up those stuffed up nostrils in
two minutes, and makes your head
as clear as a bell in a short time.
Breathe HYOMEI and kill the
catarrh germs. 1t is the only way
to cure Catarrh. It's the only way
to get rid of that constant hawking,
snuffling and splitting.
A complete HYOMEI outfit, which
includes a bottle of HYOMEI and
hard rubber pocket inhaler. costs
$500 at Van Werden & Kopp's and
druggists everywhere. If you al
ready own a Hyomei inhaler you can
get an extra bottle of HYOMEI for
so cents.
1--WE have used HYOMEI in our
family for the cure, and breaking up
of coughs, colds, sore throat and
catarrhal affections, and can say it
is q grand remedy worth it's weight
in gold" Mrs. John Copper, South

An Orchard Party,

We had taken what was practically
an abandoned farm for the summer
and were mediating how to entertain
our city friends in some rather unus-
ual way when Polly" came to the
rescue and said, Lets have an Or
chard'' party So the artist OF the
family did lovely invitations, with ap-
pie trees as the decorative scheme.
We had four small tables each with
rustic baskets for the centerpiece
filled with field wild flowers. The
place cards were made from squares
of birch bark, and the joke favors
were wrapped in yellow tissue paper
and tied to the trees, from which they
were cut by the guests. Then we
sent in town and got fruit-shaped
candy boxes, which were strung at in
tervals on yellow cord after the meth
cd Of the old but always funny cob
web parties, and stretched these
strings over a good part OF the or
chard. The hunt after the luncheon
for the fruit" added much to the
merriment Sometimes 1t was neces-
sary to climb up ladder convenient
ly placed under a tree to reach the
fruit" which was just out of reach.
and sometimes a rail fence had to be
climbed The guests were all told
to wear tub suits, and broad brimmed
straw hats were provided.
