RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRR
Think 'Hyomei the rIost Wonderful
Treatment

Think ''1yomei the rIost Wonderful
Treatment
Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be fully
relieved is through direct application
to the affected parts that will kill the
bacilli of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for catarrh
that has ever been discovered
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect instanc
relief in ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer
use may be necessary, and then an
extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for triding sum. It is not alone the
best cit might be called the only
method of treating catarrh, but it is
also the most economical
Fisher Bros. have 80 much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to relieve ca
| tarrh, that they will for q limited time
cell this medicine under their personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
pur chaser can say that it did not bene-
| fit. ADV.

UNITED STATES VAST VEAL TIL
While Europe Is Moving Backward,
This Country Is Advancing Toward
Still Greater OpuIence.

English economists have declared
that Americas wealth grows five bill
lion dollars a year. Since the official
estimate of our national wealth three
years ago exceeds $4,000, 100000,
the total today must now have passed
beyond the two hundred billion
point. These figures are colossal be-
yond compare They mean $4,000
of wealth for every inhabitant. They
represent more than double the
wealth of the United Kingdom, our
closest competitor, and they very
nearly match the combined wealth of
England, France and Germany.
Our wealth is ten times that of
Italy, eight times that of Austria
and four times that of France. These
leading European countries are now
tearing at one another's vitals and
destroying property much faster than
they can create it. Hence all Eu-
rope is today actually moving back
ward while the United States is
sweeping swiftly forward to a state
of still greater opulence. Ours is
the land of plenty; of peace and of
opportunity. These three factors are
aiding powerfully in persuading the
individual investors of Europe to
hold fest their American securities,
since here is the spot where their
capital will be freest # perils and
surest of winning a lar;e reward

fine RAINS BENEFIT
CROPS OF COUNTY

Fine rains have fallen in every
section of Hampstead county dur
ing this week and crops have
been greatly benefited. Crops
which have been most benefited
are late corn, peas, potatoes, sor-
ghum and late gardens. The cot
ton crop has also been benefited,
especially in the hills, where the
dry weather had caused many
bolls which were almost matured
to dry up. The low lard cotton
was not needing moisture so
badly.
Hampstead county has such a
great variety and character of
soils that it would be a hard mat
ter to get season that would
suit all at the same time.

score of / to 3. 1t twas a pitchers
battle from start to finish, with
honors slightly favoring Mann of
Blevins, who at all stages of the
game held the Fulton batters well

ninth inning, and with no one out,
he retired the side without a
score, forcing one man out at the
plate and striking out the last two
batterS.
Wilson of Fulton also pitched
splendid game, and with luck
