REMEDY

Dosing the stomach won't kill Ca
tarrh germs. Neither will sprays,
douches, snuffs or ointments.
The quickest way to kill germs is
to breathe deep into the lungs the
vaporized air OF Booths HYOMEI.
AS this antiseptic air passes over
the sore spots infested with Catarrh
germs, it not only destroys them,
but heals the inhamed membrane and
stops the discharge of mucous.
Then hawking. splitting, snuffling,
crusts in nose and foul breath will
disappear. and vile, disgusting Cat
arrh will be conquered.
A complete lIYOMEI outfit, which
includes a hard rubber inhaler, only
costs $1.0o Extra bottles, if after

able in the beginning of diseases.

NAT BlNKS WARNED
Acting Comptroller Of the Currency
Calls Attention TO The Law
Says IT WILL Be ENFORCED
Statement Follows Report That Progressive
Party Treasurer Asked for Contribution

a Washington dispatch Of August
eth said:-
Reports that one or more of the
political parties was soliciting contri-
buttons from national banks for the
pending political campaign stirred
treasury department officials today.
Any national bank making such con-
tributious declared Thomas p Kane,
acting comptroller of the currency,
whose attention had been called to
the reports, will be subject to fine and
its responsible officers and directors
liable to fine and imprisonment for
violating the law.
The Washington Post today pub
lished a report that +. H. Hooker,
national treasurer of the Progressive
party in a personal letter to a pres-
dent OF ntional bank with a capital
and surplus of nearly 81, 00,OOO had
solicited a contribution of $3.50.
The act of Jan 20. 1907, Mr.. Kane
pointed out, specifically forbids ma
tional banks or any corporation cor
gained by authority OF congress TO
make money contributions in connec-
ton with any election TO political Of
fee, including the offices of president,
vice president, senator and reprcsen-
tative in congress"
Hooker Explains Solicitations.
Boston, August 31.-E. II. Hooker,
national treasurer of the Progressive
party. said this afternoon that he had
perhaps sent letters to a thousand
bankers soliciting for the Progressive
cause. "but ! addressed them as indi-
he explained.
I'm no case has letter been sent
to corporation or to any one as re-
presenting a corporation. If the adj
dress happened TO be in care of a
bank letters may have been sent so
marked, but it is ridiculous to say
that we have solicited contributions
from any bank or corporations as
such"
