.CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Must Be Destroyed Before Catarrh It
self Can Be Cured. Wonderful
Results From Breathing
Medicated Air.

Medicine that acts on the blood alone
will never cure catarrl. And neither
will the sprays douches, lotions, creams
and other temporary reliefs that so
many catarrh victims make habit or
using. To cure catarrh so it won u
come back you must first drive from
your body the millions of germs that
are flourishing in the inner recesses Of
your nose and throat and are causing
the disease.
There is preparation used to do
this called Hyomei pronounced High
o.me) Hyomei is germ killing va
porized air formed from the purest oil
of Eucalyptus combined with other
healing and antiseptic ingredients.
You breathe Hyomei through the
mouth and nose by means of little
hard rubber inhaler which druggists
furnish with it. This medicated germ
icidal air penetrates into every fold
and crevice of the mucous membrane
Of your nose and throat, kills the ca.
tarrh perms that lodge there, soothes,
reduces and heals the swollen inflamed
membranes, stops the discharge and
opens the clogged nose and air
passages in a truly wonderful way. II
gives blessed relief in five minutes
from catarrhal distress of every kind
and if you make a practice Of breath.
ing Hyomei for few minutes each day
for Just q few weeks not only will all
the symptoms of catarrh vanish bur
the disease itself will be q thing of
the past. No one need try or buy Hy-
omei on pure faith. Danaiel j. Fry
and many other leading druggists in
Salem and vicinity sell it with the
positive guarantee that it must cure
catarrh of that the money paid for it
will be refunded Hyomei is very in.
expensive and with this protecting
guarantee behind your purchase there
is absolutely no reason why any suf-
ferer from catarrh should not give 1t o
fair trial.

EIGHT MEN DESIRE
Jobs AS PASSPORTS
FROM PRISON LIFE
Have Been ParOled But Face
Another Christmas Inside
Unless Work Comes

Eight men who have been paroled
from the Oregon state pen are still held
at the institution because employment
has not been found for them and they
cannot be released until they can go t.
work. Parole Officer Joe Keller con
siders it particularly unfortunate when
man who has been paroled because he
has made good and whose parole is sign
ed by the governor must spend Christ
mas within the walls of the prison
simply because no job has come to T.
prison hunting for the man.
All eight have been tried as TRUSTEES
and have proven themselves worthy or
another chance in life but even though
man has shown himself to be worthy
of trust he is not allowed to go abroad
seeking job and at present it appears
that few jobs come seeking the man es.
pecially if he is a prisoner. Parole Of
ficer Keller is making every possible
effort to find employment for these
men and does not hesitate to recon-
mend them to anyone who has spare
job about the place and needs a man to
fill it. His charges have had a wide
range of experience as the following
list will show:
One is young man who would be
handy as a baker helper and has some
experience along those lines or is will
ing to do any kind of light work that
he is able to do, not being very strong
physically. No. 2 is willing to do any
kind of labor, prefers to go on farm
where the work is steady, is a good
hand with stock. No. is strong and
healthy and wants any kind of labor;
he has had experience as miner and
tunnel man. No. 4 is man that has
spent most Of his time working in or
chards and understands that line Of
work thoroughly. No. 5 is a young man
strong and healthy and willing to do
any kind of manual labor, good hand
with horses and would like to locate on
q farm. No. wants any kind of labor
that will give him a chance to make
good; he is young man and willing tC
work. No. 7 is q cook by profession
but will take any kind of labor that he
can do justice to. No. s is man along
in years and of slender build, would
be handy man to do light chores on O
farm, take care Of stock and teaming
All these men have been tried by The
warden as TRUSTEES or other work around
the institution and have worked theil
way to the parole board and now wait
ing some one that will employ them SC
that they will be able to get another
chance in life. ,,.

SCHOOL LIBRARY IS
WELL PATRONZED
Report Of Librarian Shows
LIZA Books Were Taken
Out During November

The students of the Salem high
school are evidently doing considerable
reading at nome these long evenings,
as the November report Of the school
librarian Miss Flora NJ. Case, ntoes the
fact that 1924 books circulated during
the month for home study alone.
The average daily circulation for the
month was SO which is q gain of 20
day over November of one year ago.
The total attendance at the library was
505S, which, figured on basis of 20
school days for the month, gives an
average of 253 each day.
With the removal of the ninth grade
from the high school, it was antici-
pated that the attendance at the Ii
brary would show a considerable fall
ing off. Instead, the use Of the room
AMI books has been steadily increasing.
The greatest number of books taken
out in one day was ll9.
One year ago the Grant, Lincoln
and Washington schools were not sup
piled with libraries. This year, or.
ganized as junior high schools, the pu-
pills in the seventh, eights and ninth
grades are beginning to take advan-
tage of their opportunities for taking
out books. For November, the Grant
junior high had a circulation of Id,
the Lincoln junior high, 2l9, and the
Washington junior high, 2l5.
The junior high school libraries are
now well organized. In Grant and Lin
coin, the work is under the control Of
thn al hNy
pupils. The Libraries in these schools
are located in the principal office
from which the books are circulated.
As yet, no library room has been es-
tablished. The appointment of Miss
Alma Ashby as librarian at the Wash
ington junior high school has greatly
facilitated the work. By the assist
ance Of several helpers, a room has
been suitably furnished and in short
time it will be open regularly every
nour Of the day.
During November, in the grade
schools, 142 books have been issued
on teachers cards, and 1877 pictures is
sued for general school work. The
story hour at the public library has been
attracting the attention of the children
as the average attendance has been
100, and the largest attendance for any
one day, 275.
The November report Of Miss Case,
school librarian, indicates tnat the Ii.
braries of all the schools are being pat
ronized more than one year ago, and
that the libraries in all Of the schools
are receiving in general more attention
from the students.

That dull, dead appearance Of the
hair no longer troubles the woman who
has adopted the silmerine method Of
keeping her tresses in curl. The result
Is very different from that produced
by the drying, devitalizing waving
iron. The hair appears more naturally
wavy and curly, and the application Is
really beneficial to the life and growth
Of the hair.
Any druggist can Of course supply the
liquid silmerine and one need not get
moro than few ounces. A small quan.
tity should be put on before retiring,
using for the purpose a clean tooth
brush, drawing this down the full length
Of the hair from root to tip. The effect
upon arising is delightfully."- surprising
and there is no discoloration, no sticki-
ness, groasiness, nor any other un.
pleasant accompaniment. The hair Ia
