Send The Children 10 SChoUI

If you have neighbor who does
not read, urge him 60 keep his child
ren in school every day he possibly
can. Of course men and women
who can read and take newspapers
are too much alive to the needs of
their children to keep them out of
school for even day-short as our
public school term is-if they can
possibly have them in school. But
here and there is q man VINO has no
education himself, who can hardly
read, VINO says that his children 90

GOOD NEWS.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh, Coughs,
Colds and Sore Throat Should
Read II.

So many hundreds OF catarrh vic
Tins who have taken the HYOMEI
treatment, have written US letters
thanking us for publishing our meth
cd of taking the HYOMEI vapor
treatment in connection with the in
haler that we gladly publish it again.
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This is the simple vapor treatment
and only takes five minutes of your
time before going to bed. Pour a
teaspoonful of HYOMEI into a bowl
with towel and breathe for several
minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep
better, and that stuffed up feeling
in the head will gradually disappear.
This same method will break up
the worst cold in the head or chest
in one night.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs so cents
at f. 7. Whitehead Company's, who
guarantee it. If you want the COM
plete outfit, which includes the little
hard rubber pocket inhaler, the
price is $l00.
No stomach dosing; just breathe
HYOMEI and cure catarrh and all
diseases of the breathing organs.

The Regular Schedules Doubled Will
Apply Until Jan. 18th at SP. M.
END ONLY FOUR WEEKS OFF.
Many Changes in Position Likely to Occur
During That Time, as New Candidates are
Entering Almost Every Day.

Beginning Thursday January 18th
and ending Wednesday January 18th
at s p. M, the regular voting sched-
u e doubled will apply.
This is another good chance to
add to your total vote, and one
which no candidate who expects to
win should neglect.
The close Of the contest is only
four weeks off and its to each can
didate's interest to secure as many
subscriptions as possible during
this offer.
Competition is strong in this con-
test and if you let up for a single
day you are bound to drop a notch
toward the bottom.
Maybe you had lead on the other

will lose that lead before another
2A hours have passed. You never
know that you are really ahead un-
I'll the final roll has been called and
the Judges have made their awards.
DON'T BE BLUFFED.

The contestants should go right
ahead, fight their own fights and
trv to do it little harder than any
OF the others. Persistence tells the
story.
Maybe the other contestants saw
all their friends in week. Maybe
you did. If that's the case get busy
and make some rev ones. Manu-
facsure them, for contest purposes.
Never have better chance to use
them. You need their help right
