BRUNSWICK VOTES TO
REPAIR OLD ARM0RY
BUILDING FOR c. A. c.

Brunswick. Me. March 30.-(Spe-
ciaD.-A special town meeting was
held this afternoon to see what action
the town would take toward provid-
ing suitable quarters for the Tenth
Company, c. A. c. The sum Of $4,000
was appropriated to renovate the old
armory building in the rear of the
Town hall for the use of the company.
This money will be expended in en-
larging the building by a 30-foot addi-
ton, installing a heating plant. steel
lockers and other improvements re-
quired by the Armory Commission.
The company has been without any
settled quarters for about three years
and for the past year has been quar-
tered in the gallery of Town hall
Russell w. Eaton presided at the
meeting. In addition to taking the
action regarding the armory the town
voted to authorize the High school
building committee. to make such
changes in the Unitarian church as
may be necessary to make the build
ing suitable for school purposes.

cATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Must Be Destroyed Before Catarrn
Itself Car Be Cured, Says Spe-
cialist. Wonderful Results from
Breathing Medieated Air.

Medicine taken into the stomach will
never cure catarrh. And neither will the
sprays, douches, lotions, cream and
otuer temporary reliefs that so many
catarrh victims make habit OF using.
TO cure catarrh so il won't come back
YOU must first drive from your body the
millions of germs that are fouris' ing
in the inner recesses OF your nose and
throat and are causing the disease.
There is a preparation which does this
called Hyomei pronounced High-o-mel.
Hyomei is a germ killing vaporiZed air
formed from the purest oil of Eucalyptus
combined with other healing and antisep-
tic ingredients. You breathe Hyomei
through the mouth and nose by means OF
a little hard rubber inhaler which drug
gists furnish with it. This medicated
germicidal air penetrates into every fold
and creyice of the mucous membrane or
YOUR nose and throat. kills the catarrh
germs that lodge there, soothes, reduces
and heals the swollen, inftamed MEM
branes, stops the discharge and opens up
the clogged nose and air passages in a
truly wonderful way. It gives blessed
relief in five minutes from catarrhal dis
tress of every kind and II you make
practice of breathing Hyomei for few
minutes each day for just few weeks
not only will all the symptoms OF ca
farrh vanish but the disease itself Will
or buy Hyomei on pure faith. BowoEcn-
Webster Co. and many other ieaGing
in Augusta and vicinity sell IT
with the positive guarantee tnaf It must
cure catarrh or that the money paid Tor
II will me refunded. Hyomei Is very in
extensive and with this protecting guar
antee behind your purchase there Is ao-
.ninteIy no reason why any sufferer from
Catarrh should not give it a fair trial.
