Kansas avenue at midnight Thursday
Had the awning over a second story

The fire was in the awning above a
window of the rooms occupied by Abe

from a match dropped from above.

does It cure Catarrh.
There is just one safe, sensible and in
vartably reliable way to reach and des-
forever. Breathe into your nose, throat
and lungs the medicated, germ-killing air
OF Hyomel which is made from the pure,
healing oil of Eucalyptus combined with
powerful germcidal ingredients which are

reach. The air of Hyomei breathed deeply
