CATARRH DOCTOR
Cures Catarrh, Acute or Chronic, O
Money Back.

Cures Catarrh, Acute or Chronic, or
Money Back.
Would you pay one dollar to rid
yourself of disgusting catarrh?
Then go to the Harper house phar-
macy today and ask them for a Hy-
mel outfit and you will not only en-
gage, but you will own outright a
little catarrh doctor that has cured
more cases of catarrh than all the
catarrh specialists on earth.
In the 81 box which contains the
Hyomei outfit, you will find a little
hard rubber vest pocket inhaler.
Into this inhaler you pour a few
drops of Hyomei. Then all you have
to do is breath through the little
inhaler, either through the nose or
mouth, according to where the ca
tarrh is located
When you breathe HyomeI you
breathe a powerful yet soothing, an
tiseptic air, which as 1t passes over
the inflamed and germ ridden mem
brane penetrates every fold and cerv-
ice and destroyes germs completely.
Stomach dosing never cured ca
tarrh, sprays and douches always
fail; and why? Because they don't
get where the germs are and as ca
tarrh is a germ disease you must
kill the germs, before you can cure
catarrh Hyomei is guaranteed by
the Harper house pharmacy and by
druggists everywhere to cure ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, Group and sore
throat.

whom she had been keeping company
whose attentions she; said she rejected
when he approached the subject Of
matrimony. Every outward indication,
according to neighbors who saw the
girl shortly after she was found in an
unconscious condition Friday night, is
that she had been poisoned. She was
unconscious, II was said, from 1890
until o'clock, and she was In a semi

Friends of the family used drugs to
counteract the poison. Her sister de-

her candy from a box which he held
in his hands. She observed, she said,
that there were only three or four

Short Weight Public Scales. - That
one pair OF licensed scales In Moline
would register your baby's weight at
only six pounds, when In reality the
youngster weighed IL units avoirdu-
pois, is the discovery which was made
by Commissioner Eastman Of public
health and safety. There came to Mr..
Eastman's once q farmer who had
brought load Of corn to town and Of
fered It for sale. The corn was weigh
ed on one pair Of the licensed scales
and the farmer was dissatisfied with
the result He took the corn to an
other scale and found that the weight
of his corn had increased by three
bushels. This meant that had he sold
the corn following the first reading he
would have lost $1.56, at the prevail
ing price of 81 cents per bushel The
commissioner took the time to serve
notice on the scale owners in question
that they must have their scales tested
Immediately and remedy the defect in
the register. One owner Of the two has
what would be called in common par
lance "a bum pair of scales" and a test
is the only thing that will bring the
real difficulty to light.

APPRECIATES $4,000
Capt. 7. n. Jackson's Recommends
ton Adopted by Board Of EnGn-
GERS Of War Department.

In connection with the article
published recently in The Times
regarding recommendation Of
Capt. Il. II. Jackson, United
States engineer, before the Shire
port Jefferson waterway hearing
was held on May 10, advice was
received in Shreveport yesterday
that Capt. Jackson's recommen-
dation for a complete engineer
ing and Typographical survey
had been granted by the Board
OF Engineers of the United
States War department.
Capt. Jackson in his annual
report for the fiscal year ending
July 1, 1911, recommended
survey of the route of the pro
posed channel of the Shreveport
Jefferson waterway and a topo-
graphical survey Of the adjoining
territory and requested that
$l5, 600 be set aside for this pur-
pose, claiming this was neces-
sary in order that the exact situa.
ton may be known. He claimed
that previous surveys did not
provide sufficient data for a def
mite and intelligent decision of
the prospect as it then stood.
Hon. Morris Sheppard called
on the War Department in early
July to find out what progress
was being made with reference
to the dam aud while plans had
not been received, the prelimi-
nary work, such as boring, etc,
was going steadily on and some
several thousand dollars had
been expended in that manner,
That the Board of Engineers
has acted favorably on Captain
Jackson re C I'm IN n d a { on
should be a matter Of gratitica
ton to all advocates OF the water
way between Shreveport and JEFF.
ferson. The advice that Capt.
Jackson's recommendation had
been acted on favorably was re-
ceived from Hon. Morris Shep-
pard of Texarkana, who has
probably done more to secure
the construction of this water
way than any one else interested
in it.-Shreveport Times, Aug.

FOUR POINTS
TO Be Considered

There are four points that
should be considered in select
ing a school to attend.
First. The schools financial
standing, for the student does
got want to attend a school today
that will pass out of existence
tomorrow. The Tyler CONNER
cial College of Tyler, Texas, has
a paid in capital and surplus of
over 500, 900. 1t is owned and
operated by men who have prov
en- themselves successful bust
ness men.
Second. The moral surround.
ings. Our teachers, twenty in
number, are ladies and gentle
men of the very highest charac.
ter. We look after our students
while in school, we encourage
them in honesty and uprightness.
Third. The system and meth
DDS used. We use the famous
Byrne systems OF Shorthand
and Bookkeeping, which enables
us TO turn out a better bookkeep-
er or stenographer in half the
time and at half the cost of
other schools teaching other
systems. We have the exclusive
control Of these systems in this
state. Therefore, the Byrne
systems are case Of sour
grapes" to our competitors
The fact that we turn out better
stenographers in three months
than they can in six, should in
terest the prospective student.
Read our catalog, see the endorse
ments from hundreds of stu
dents and business men.
Fourth. Our ability to place
you in good position with a re-
sponsible firm. We realize that
if we hope to succeed our students
must succeed; the greater their
success, the greater our suc-
cess; their success reflects credit
upon our institution, and causes
their friends to follow in their
footsteps. Other schools haven't
the advantages of our modern
systems, therefore it is utterly
impossible for them to make a
good stenographer or bookkeep-
er of you in as short a time as
we can.
