No stomach dosing when you
breathe HYOMEI. Just pour a few
drops of the liquid in the inhaler.
and breathe it in.
1t is mighty pleasant to use; it
opens up those stuffed-up nostrils
in two minutes, and makes your
head as clear as q bell in a short
time. r.
Breathe HYOMEI and kill the
catarrh germs. It's the only way to
cure catarrh. It's the only way to
get rid Of that constant hawking,
snufling and splitting. ~
A complete HYOMEI outfit, which
includes bottle of HYOMEI and a
hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs
$1.00 at Van 'Werden & Kopp's and

hlodern Circus Methods.

Two merchants were talking a few
days ago, when the subject of circus
advertising was mentioned. One of
the gentlemen made the point of
savings affected by shows now, com
pared with a quarter of a century
agone. Especially is this noticeable
in advertising. Then the circus
folks would have billboards con-
structed, and the larger ones would
enclose court house squares with
boards twelve feet high, at a cost of
S2oo to $500, and with the most
elaborate vpaper' coveringit. This
expense is now a mere trihe, as dead
walls are covered for a few tickets to
the show, and no money outlay.
The price of admission is the same,
tents are larger, with increased seat
ing capacity, and the revenues are
therefore heavier. Transportation
is more costly, food for men, horses
and animals is higher, wages higher,
ETC., so that circus investments, like
all other things, reduction on one
line is of no benefit, as along Others
it is offset.

Opera House Is Closed.

The city council Monday night
passed an order closing the LcMeade
opera house, the sanitary condition
Of the building, owing to the con-
structions of recent partitions, beng
bad, as there is small chance for air
circulation, while the one narrow
exit, down fright Of stairs, would
result IN a catastrophe IT an emergen-

ing quickly. There arc alterations
which may be made that would insure
conditions of safety as to exits, and
the ventilation could be provided
by an adequate ventilated skylight
or by the insertion of number of
yentilating domes IN the roof.
1t is probable that a conference
of the officers with the owner may
be held, and the necessary altera-
tons made, as it IS necessary to have
such a building for entertainments,
but it is much more important that
the building have every safety and
sanitary condition that may be pro-
vidcd. 1t is a desirable thing that
people be entertained, but it is a
necessity that our lives be protccItd d
