TREATED cATARRH BY
NATURES Method
Every Breath of HyOmei Carries
Healing Medicated Air to the
Infected Membrane

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it with sprays, lotions, and the
like. Temporary relief may be given,
but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have
change Of climate; but now with a
simple preparation called Hyomei you
can carry a health-giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it a
few minutes four times day success
fully treat your self.
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life time,
and if one bottle does not give per-
manent relief, an extra bottle of Hyo-
mel can be obtained at any time for
trifing sum. 1t is more economical
than all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature
in her method of treating diseases of
the respiratory organs.
Wortley q French have sold great
many Hyomei outfits and the more
they sell, the more convinced they are
that they are perfectly safe in guar
to refund the money if Hyo-
mel does not relieve.-adv.

THE BELDING BANNER

Bull, was also trading post. A
pioneer by the name of Cisler said
there was band of Indians there and
another at Gun lake. The building
that Mr.. Cisler speaks of was built in
1886 and was about 16 feet long and
II feet wide, located near the spot
where the railroad today crosses the
river. The building was in ruins
when he first saw it. He found buried
casks which had cntained whiskey or
skit, arro-bor on Fire water, to trade
to the Indians for furs at very low
price. When the traders thought the
Indians had enough they buried the
casks and told the Indians they had
no more. Another pioneer of Barry
county is Calvin G. Hill, known as
Squire Hill, a native of New York.
He came in 1884 and purchased in its
territorial days, 400 acres of land in
Guiding the present village of Middle
Vile He filled at various times near
ly all the town Offices. His descrip-
ton Of survey would hardly stand at
the present time. They were simply
line running north to a certain
plowed field and east to wood pile
His son Alpheus made the first break
ing pillow in Barry county and turned
over more virgin SOIL than any other. !
There are few counties in Michigan
which possess so many historic spots |
as Barry county. The Barry pioneers
ought to be proud of this heritage and
they are going to place marks there
at Yankee Lewis, and Moreap's In
dian village, ETC., so that the rising |
and future generations will know
where to locate them.

The following interesting paper
was written by VIM. Farrell of Ada
Mich, a few weeks ago, and was
read at the last meeting of the Barry
county pioneer society. 1t contains
much of interest to Bedding and lonia
county residents.
Joseph La Framboise was a French
Canadian. He was born in Montreal
in l765 and was known TO be at Mack
nav as early as 1892 when he signed
a marriage contract as witness for his
brother Alexis, who was a prominent
trader at Mackinaw, and who sent his
three younger brothers to take up
trading posts at various sites on Lake
Michigan, Green Bay and its tributa-
ries. The Grand river is where JOS
eph was sent and also the Muskegon
and other streams, ETC., Grand river
the Owashtenong, Cah-bob-quash She,
Flat Tab ba-se-qua Thorn. But prior
to the time the La Franchises began
their fur trading with the Indians,
during the French regime and rule,
for in that early date France control
led the fur trade in the northwest and
it was important for France to have
convenient posts along the lakes and
streams Of Wisconsin and Michigan.
As early as 1856 ensign and SEN
ior chevaler, Charles DeLanglade,
was established on the Grand river as
a trader among the Indians. He it
was who lead the Indian braves-Ot-
tawas, Pottawatomies and Chippewas
through the Wilderness of Michigan,
Ohio and Pennsylvania with the great
war chief, Pontiac, to Fort DuQuesne,
where Pittsburgh now stands, and was
instrumental in the battle or ambus-
cade of Monongahela of defeating
General Bradock, the British general,
who met his death there In the Rev
dictionary war he lead the Indian
braves or warriors, with the assist
ance of the great Pontiac, through the
northern wilderness of New York to
the headwaters of the Hudson and
Lake Champlain, to join Sir John Bur-
goyne's army, for the Indians of Mich
igan at that time wore the red instead
of the buff and blue of the United |
States. But, judging by the maneu-
vers of Burgoyne that he would not |
win, and was fighting against odds,
they left him in a body and returned |
to the old 0washtenong. The deser-
ton of the Indians brought on the
battle of Bennington and Saratoga
and paved the way for American In
Senior DeLanglade had at that time
the fur trade of the Grand river, st.
Joseph, Muskegon and might say all
Of Michigan. The place was called
Gab-ago-nabel. Here his daughter
Charlotte was born in 1856 and bap-
lied the following summer at Macki-
law by the Jesuits. The instructions
yiven TO DeLanglade indicated that
here were other traders who made
heir headquarters on the Owashte-
.ong. I
The history of the La Framboise
amily, especially Joseph, the husband !
f Magde'ane, was that he was firm, J
etermineo man. In 1900 La Franz i
oise left Mackinaw.

of President Jackson's cabinet, Will
liam t. Barry, postmaster-general.
The beginning of Barry county settle
ments dates from 1880, but prior to
that time numerous trading posts
were established on the Thornapple
and around the lakes. The names of
the first fur traders who penetrated
this county and Kent are forever lost.
French traders and adventures I'M
doubtedly frequented the streams and
penetrated the heavy timber land long
before the first settlers arrived in the
early '30s. Some built and conducted
by traders and others by agents of the
American Fur CO., which was really
John Jacob Aston. Rix Robinson
bought the trading posts of Madam
lie Framboise in 1921, the So ambe
Seke and the river at Forks and Cab
bob quash Shee.
Louis Campau in 1926 at Grand
Rapids a noted French trader and the
protector and founder of the city of
Grand Rapids. He was born i'm De-
troit in 1912 when Hull ANONYMOUSLY
surrendered to the British. Campau
established at Green lake, few miles
west of Scales Prairie, named after
Robert Scales, in Barry county. 1t
was in the early '40s, a beautiful
stretch of country a little over sixty
acres in extent surrounded like the
bank of lake with high forest and
dotted with occasional islands of burr
oak, which rose above grass over six
feet tall, that undulated in long bill
lows before the breeze, according to
history. James Moreau established
a trading post under the employ of
Rix Robinson in 1882. Moreau was
a thick set, dark complexioned
Frenchman who originally came from
Detroit. With him was Robert Scales
of Kentucky. These trading posts
were the mediums of intercourse be-
tween the white man and the Indians.
Moreau's post on Scales Prairie was
called Skin igwam. His fort or post
was often used as hotel or tavern
for travellers. He had no competitors
or opposition and made the most of
his monopoly whenever he extended |
the hospitality for shelter and food |
The accommodations were poor and |
the rates exhorbitant. When a trav-
eler objected to paying $500 for sup
per and the privilege of sleeping on
the floor and breakfast, Moreau po
itely informed him i'm broken English
1t ees no sign OF gentleman to dis

by Moreau and his unknown
predecessor stood until recent years.
L was built similar to those in early
lays for offensive and defensive
against the Indians. Who built this
,lock house no one knows, for it stood
here long before Moreau occuied it.

for any small service they may do for themselves, and so far from de- creasing, the cost of maintenance keeps on advancing. Nor is there any prospect that these soldiers homes will ever be closed, although the original cause of their estab- lishment has almost entirSly passed away
 It is wonderful how quiet are the officeholders of an institution whose usefulness is doubtful. A large pub lie institution with a full staff of en ployes of all grades. but without a single inmate exists in the State of New York Boards still holds office and draw salaries, though their work was finished years ago. Congress WI face a call for large appropriations for defense, which cannot be denied. While considering these appropria- tions some thought might be given to looping off useless military posts and old soldiers homes. This would not deprive the old veterans of anything. They would be better off when gathered in the best equip ped of these homes, which it would be advisable to retain. Some or these institutions stand on land that has become very valuable, and they should be sold or put to prontaole use.
 Time and again some Senator or Representative in his first term or office has moved to investigate these wastes He soon learned that sena- torial and congressional Courtesy demanded the perpetuatiOn of any in- stitution that fu1tishes easy jobs for political favortes, graft for local politicians, and patronage for local tradespeople. Of them all none is so sacred as an old soldiers home. Canada is at least warned in advance. She has a few institutions of her own that figure in politics and she will be wise not to add unnecessarily to their number.

A Rational Viewpoint. (Phila adelnhia PreSS.D

Philander c. Knox, former secre- tary of state, struck a happy note in his speech to the Five O'Clock club. when he deplored the irrational sen timent that is now in extremes of castigating the 'hyphenated citizen" He counseled a little logic, a little sense, a little more rational view point, and a little common judg- ment. This is the proper spirit to take, and it required a man of the measure of the former secretary to bring our people to realize a griev- ous wrong that has been wrought in the stress of this wartime agitation
 Such should be the case in regard to our attitude on the hyphenated cit> izens. They have always been good, sturdy, strong people; they have lived under the banner of Uncle Sam for years and there has never been the semblance of a revolt against the rule of the United States from it's adopted citizens in all the time that these states have been independent. At times there has been bitter propagandas against our hy phenates, as those well remember, who know the agitation against the Irish = Americans in the days of the Know Otn1ng SCn1Sm. NOW the Dal- tie against the hyphenates has turn ed in the direction of the German Americans. This is a manifest in justice to millions of that nationality who in spirit, letter and deed are as good Americans as any man born or the soil. Because certain sinister in- fuences, instigated perhaps in the ] Wllhelmstrasse, have worked to make a neutral nation a chessboard of lntrique against nations with 1 whom we are at peace in the interests of the fatherland and the dual mon archy, that is no indictment against the entire body of American citizens born in the German empire.
 But in the natural indignation that arises against these factionists the people are apt to lose sight of the fact that by far the greater number of our adopted citizens are giving TO
 offense. They are happy in the pur
 suits of peace, and are loyal to the
 land of their adoption. This may
 be said of all but an inconsiderabio
 humber Of our citizens, who were born
 on the soil of the belligerents. So
 It required some man of the nation
 al stature of Secretary Knox to
 bring us back to a careful and sane
 conSlderatlOn of our attitude toward
 natlonallties as mass, and not as
 individuals. MT. Knox has struck tho
 keynote that ultimately must swell
 into future chorus, when the popu-
 lar mind has swung back to it's ori ganal balance, and we regain our perspective unclouded by indignation
 and anger.
