CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Must Be Destroyed Before catarrh It.
self Can Be Cured. Wonderful Re-
sults from BREATHING indicated Air.


Medicine that acts on the blood alone
the sprays, douches, lotions, creams and
other temporary reliefs that SO many ca
tarrh victims make a habit of using. TO
cure catarrh SO it won't come back you
must first drive from your body the mil
lions of germs that are flourshing in the
inner recesses of your nose and throat
and are causing the disease.
There is a preparation used to do this
called Hyomei pronounced High o-me).
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
gists furnish with it. This indicated
germicidal air penetrates into every fold
and crevice of the mucous membrane OF
your nose and throat, Kills the catarrh
germs that lodge there, Soothes, reduces
and heals the swollen infamed men,
branes stops the discharge and opens up
the clogged nose and air passages in a
lief in five minutes from catarrhal dis
tress of every kind and if you make a
practice of breathing Hyomei for a few
minutes each day for just a few weeks
not only will all the symptoms of catarrh
vanish but the disease itself will be a
thing of the past No one need try to
buy Hyomei on pure faith. Bowditch-
Webster & Co and many other leading
druggists in Augusta and vicinity sell it
with the positive guarantee that it must
cure catarrh or that the money paid for
it will be refunded. Hyomei is very in
expensive and with this protecting guar
antee behind your purchase there is alb
solutely no reason why any sufferer from
Catarrh should not give it a fair trial

Favorite Recipe of

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded streaked

scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! Nc one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy.-Adv.

in which the Presidents popularity Is
manifestly waning. They believe MI.
Bryan will, seriously oppose MI. VIII
son because he can accept a renomi-
nation only in violation Of the single
term plank in the Democratic plat
form, II for no other reason. They
maintain that in almost every locality.
not excluding the South, Mr.. Wilson's
political appointments have been un-
fortunate and have alienated more
Democratic voters than they have at
tracted. Under these conditions, they
insist. the Democratic party should
name a man who could unite both the
Bryan and Wilson factions and thus
present a united opposition to the Re-
publicans. They maintain. moreover.
that President Wilson's proposal to
tax automobiles and gasoline and the
poor mans auto far more, proper
tionately. than the rich mans have
made a host Of enemies.
Mr.. Wilson's strength, however. lies
in the fact that it is, thus far at least,
impossible for any Of his Democratic
opponents to name a man who could
unite the Wilson and Bryan factions
The Republicans believe Mr.. Wilson
will be renominated on the ground
advanced by Speaker Clark, namely.
that If he, looks like winner in the
election no one can defeat him in the
convention, and II it looks like a
Democratic defeat no one will want
to defeat him in the convention. It
| is noteworthy that Mr.. Wilson'S
Democratic opponents are, with the
exception of the New Workers, all
Bryanites.

When the Federal Reserve Board,
organized by Democratic administra-
ton on partisan lines, performed its
duty of establishing Reserve Banks,
it located banks at Atlanta, Dallas,
and Richmond, ignoring the CONNER
cial claims of New Orleans and Balti-
more. In an effort to rectify the error
and accommodate business, a branch
bank was established at New orleans.
The latest report Of the board says
that the branch bank has ALREADY
justified it's establishment, having more
than earned it's operating expenses
Which is a partial acknowledgment
that New Orleans should have been
made reserve bank city, rather than
made the site Of a branch bank.
