MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY.

written especially for Bystander.)
Another twelve months have passed
and we find ourselves again standing
upon the threshold Of another Christ
mas.
Xmas is the most joyous Of all holi-
days. Our minds are taken from our
selves, ard we think only Of our
friends and what we shall give them.
We are planning surprises for
father, mother, sister, brother and
host of friends; and they in turn are
preparing something for US.
But the thought of making some
one happy; the thought Of bringing a
smile to the face of a loved one is
the thought that is uppermost in our
minds. The value Of the gift we
scarcely consider. We are 50 filled
with the spirit of giving and of the
loving hearts waiting to receive.
But what of the poor? Have we
prepared gift for some orphan, tor
some poor widow, a cripple, a shut
in, or for some poor lonely grey
haired mother, whom having laid her
own sons and daughters to rest, finds
no loving hands outstretched TO
brighten her cheerless fireside?
Have we thought only Of bringing
Rladness to those already glad, has
tie spirit II giving extended beyond
our own little circle of friends, q are
~ truly trying q bring happ ppinsss AZ u

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS. #t4
written especially for the Bystand-
Christmas is coming, 80
And we should be cunning. #
The snow flakes are falling,
The snow birds are calling.
That one thousand, nine hundred and

The Christ-child in the manger so
Lay there day by day,
The cattle looked, but would not
hurt him, so they say.
The wise men brought him gifts so
rare,
Of which they laid beside his feet
with care,
And the angels sweetly sang,
Peace on earth, good will toward
men.

THE TRUTH "
ABOUT CATARRH
A Germ Disease That Can BE Stopped
BY Killing Germs Which Cause II.

| a good many claims are made for this
and that remedy for Catarrh and doubt
less, If you are sufferer from this dis
ease, you have yourself tried many Of
them and received no permanent benefit
The fact remains, however, that there
is way to get rid of catarrh forever
and certainly the method most likely to
succeed and to cure where all else has
failed is one that your own druggist has
you on positive guarantee of success or
money back.
That's exactly the way that Bowditch-
Webster Co, Augusta, and many other
leading druggists in this vicinity are
selling Hynmeise the great Catarrh germ
killer, a wonderful medicated but plea g.
ant smelling air which you breathe into
your nose, throat and lungs through a
small inhaling device that druggists fur
nish with it. Hyomei is made from the
pure healing oil of Eucalyptus, combined
with other powerful germicidal ingre-
dents and it not only clears up the head
and air passages and heals the sore,
swollen infiamed membranes Of your nose
and throat but it goes farther and does
more. Its penetrating air is absolute and
positive death to every catarrh germ in
your system. 1t destroys them utterly
And when the germs go the disease and
all its disagreeable symptoms STOP II
you have Catarrhs Breathe Hyomei It's
gain nothing and lose much by waiting
Don't trust to memory. Cut this out OF
the paper now and take it into your
druggist the very next time you pass his
store Insist on getting the complete out
fit which includes the free rubber inhaler
as 1t Is very necessary to use this inhaler
to- get best results.-Adv. jan23-21 80
