Some Information About the Money Back Cure for Catarrh, Coughs Colds, Group and

Because of the enormous sales of HYOMEI during the present year. we deem it advisable to publish this letter.
 HYOMEI has cured more cases of catarrh (acute chronic, mild and stub born) than all the catarrh specialists in America.
 But in order to get the best and quickest results the directions should be closely followed.

The parliamentary fund for 1911 is now closed. Subscriptions from Ireland and Great Britain amounted to s6O.S30. Last year the figure was S74935. Bearing ia mind the circumstances under which the appeal was made this year, the total an- nounced is even more remarkable and gratifying than the result achieved last year, which was the record.

Why Salves Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old fashioned theory of cur Ing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many different salves have been tried for skin diseases. But it has been found that these sa1ves only clog the pores and cannot pene- trate to the inner skin below the epi- dermis where the eczema germs are lodged.

 We stln have political uncertainties ahead of us. Interference with the tariff has always heretofore restricted business sentiment.
 But, perhaps this feature has now been so long before the country that much of it's adverse influence has been discounted. Possibly the feeling prevails that there will be more talk than legislation.
 People are found who believe that po- litica sentiment is becoming more conser- vative. There Is no question but that the country has turned the corner and while there may be periods of reaction it is best opinion that every important development will be toward betterment.
 An investigation that is causing at least some discussion, if not nervousness, is that proposed for the so-called Money Trust" Mr. Morgan has sailed for Egypt and his personal testimony will not. there fore, be available when the investigation actually begins. Neither will James Stili- man be available for 1t is understood that he too, will spend good part of February in Egypt with MT. Morgan. But there will be plenty of other representa- tives of the so-called Money Trust" who can be called on to testify, and no doubt considerable of interest will attach to their testimony The term Money Trust" is, of course, a highly elastic one, and lt is rather difficult to definitely conclude what is it's exact limitation. As a general proposition it seems to be interpreted to mean the interests associated with I. P.

Enormous damage has been done by an abnormal rise in the shannon, which has turned the countryside into a vast water logged area, extending over several of the midland counties. The inhabitants of the valley of the Shannon are completely cut off from communication with Athlone and find great difficulty in procuring the necessities of life. Many of them have been obliged to desert their homes and proceed to Athlone in boats, which were sailed over their farmsteads They swan their live stock before them. The course of the river has been wiped out by the floods. the water being now 14 feet above the normal level River traffic is sus- pended and the danger caused by the floods is increased by dense fogs over the flooded areas, which bring with them levers and many forms of pulmonary ds- eases.

Dove- ney, state central committeeman from the Twelfth democratic district, has ordered another senatorial convention to be held at New Haven, Friday, Oc- tober 4. at o'clock. MT.

Government Message to Be carrisd
 from New York to Pacific Coast.

Washington, Sept. 27-
 The proposed ocean to ocean motor cycle relay race of the Federation of American Motorcyclists passed from the talking to the action stage during the past week.
 The additional impetus given the plans came in the form of a letter from the acting secretary of war to President B. J. Patterson of the F. A. M, in which the government officially notified President Patterson that the war department would give the desired cooperation.
 Dr. Patterson had written the war department asking that message be prepared by the department to be for warded from New York city to the Pacific coast by motorcycle relay.
 Robert Shaw Hawkins, the acting secretary of war, wrote President Patterson that the commanding gen. eraI, east .rn division of the U. $. army, has been instructed to furnish the first relay rider with a suitable message to be delivered to some off, assumes, of course, no responsibility for the conduct of the relay.

 One of Most Cordial Greetings President Has Received.

Beverly, Mass, Sept 27.-President Taft motored to Maiden today to be- come the guest of the city and to help 1t celebrate home coming week. He returned to Beverly tonight a richer and happier man. He brought back with him one sweater, one pair of rub Der boots, one pair of golf shoes, one pair of suspenders, one silver loving cup, several jars of honey, rVany punches of roses and a big box of candy for Mrs. Taft. He brought back also the conviction that not in many months has he appeared before crowds that were more demonstrative. He made three short speeches.
 All Gifts Are Maiden Products.
 Every gift that Maiden made to the presiden; was a product of the city and the president only missed receiv- ing others because there was a limit to the carrying capacity of the White house automobile.
 The president left Beverly just aft CT luncheon. more than a half-hour late. In Lynn he picked up Senator Lodge and the White house car whiz- zed for the next five miles in an ef- fort to make up the lost time.
