MESSAGE OF JOY TO
CATARRH SUFFERERS
Hyomei Guaranteed by g. A. Parchcr
to Relieve or Money Refunded.

Hyomei Guaranteed by g. A. Parcher
to Relieve or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in sales
Of Hyomei here in Ellsworth are
UNIQUE in the annals of medicine.
such astonishing successes have been
made by this remarkable remedy that
the proprietors have authorized G. A.
parcher to sell every package of Hy.
omei under an absolute guarantee that
il will knock out cartarrh for good.
If 1t does not, the purchaser can have
his money refunded by Mr.. Parcber.
Hyomei Is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is pronounced the only method of
treatment that sends by direct inhala-
ton to the most remote part Of the
air passages, balsamic air that de-
stroys all catarrhal germs In the
breathing organs, enriches and puri-
ties the blood with additional ozone,
and gives permanent and complete
relief from catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists Of an inhaler
that can be carried In the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle Of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts q life time,
aud il one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle can be obtained for a
triHing sum. 1t Is more economical
than any remedy advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature
in her methods Of treating diseases Of
the respiratory organs.

The Bandbox
Baby
An Absurd Mistake and
How It Was Righted
By cLARlSSA MACKIH

Miss Celia Anterior tiptoed to meet
her tall nephew's farewell kiss.
"Goodby, Don, and don't lose tbe
bandbox. Tell your mother | put an
extra thick icing on the cake. She likes
1t that way"
Il know 1t, Aunt Celia" laughed Don
as he picked up the great lowered
bandbox, which was tied about with q
heavy cord. 'I'il be careful of the
cake, and mother shall receive It with.
out scratch"
He waved his hand as he Owed out
OF the gate and sprinted up the street
toward the railroad station.
The bandbox was quite heavy, for II
contained one Of Celia Atherton's IA.
nous fruit cakes. Rich and fruity and
masked thickly with heavy frosting
Celia's cake would be received with
delight by her sister-in-law, Don's
mother.
The train was on time, and Don
standing on the platform of the real
car, saw the little village fade from
sight as the train speeded toward the
city.
Another one of his brief, delightful
visits to Aunt Celia was over.
He entered the coach. found an emp
ty seat. upon which he placed the big
square bandbox. He hung his overcoat
on the hook, tossed his bag into the
rack and went ahead to the smoker.
Here he forgot all about the bandbo,
until the train was drawing into the
terminal station.
Then he hurried back to the coach
took his coat and bag. stepped aside t.
let some one pass through the aisle
picked up his bandbox and dashed fol
the door as the brakes squealed and
the train came to standstill.
Behind him arose a confusion Of
sound. in which he distinguished a wo
mans voice raised in protest
But now he was on the platform
hurrying Riong toward the street en-
trance. He plunged into the nearest
taxicab and a moment later was whirl
ing uptown toward his mothers house
Beside Don. on the seat, was the

thought.
Just then small sound smote the
air. A wee, unmistakable cry.
The cry Of a baby!
Don Atherton jumped and looked
around as II he thought some infant
stowaway was concealed In the We
hicle.
Good Lordw he calculated.
Again the cry, louder now, and II
seemed to come from the bandbox!
Gingerly he picked up the box and
nearly dropped 1t again. for something
stirred within it!
Don glanced from the window and
saw that they were nearly home. He

Smoking Competitions.

At smoking competition held re.
Gently at Brighton. England, the win
ner kept an eighth of an ounce Of to
bacco alight for 103 minutes. There
was a severer test at Oxford in 1923
on a scaffold over against the theater.
Thomas Hearne described the scene:
1.-THE conditions were than any one
imam or woman that could smoak out
three ounces Of tobacco first without
drinking or going off the stage should
have IL shillings. Many tried, and 1t
was thought that journeyman tay-
lour would have been victor, he smoak-
ing faster than and being many pipes
before the rest, but at last he was SO
sick that twas thought he would have
died, and an old man. that had been a
soldier and smoaked gently, came OF
a conqueror, smoaking the three ounces
quite out"
In Derbyshire there was club where
the qualification for membership was
the ability to smoke up a pound OF
shag tobacco at one sitting. A china
pot served as pipe, and the candidate
smoked through the spout.

sofa regarded the girl with friendly
eyes.
Suppose you let Don tell his story.
end then we will hear yours" she sug-
gested.
So Don Atherton repeated his story
Of the fruit cake in the Powered band
box. of his excursion to the smoking
car, his return at the last moment and
his hasty snatching Of bandbox and
bag.
The girl listened. nodding her head
gravely as he finished.
"You boarded the train at Red Top"
she said. II got on at the next station,
Fairmont As that train Ii made up Of
ordinary coaches, took it in prefer
ence to the later train, on which seat
was reserved for me.
