If YOU HAVE CATARRH
Breathe Hyomei Four Times Day
and Watch Results. Gives Prompt
Relief.

The pleasantest, most convenient
and most scientific method for the
treatment of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put a few drops of Hyomei.
in the inhaler that comes with every
complete package and then breathe its
air for a few minutes, four times a
day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most i'm
portant discoveries Of science have
always been the simplest. By breath
ing Hyomei in this way every particle
of air that enters the air passage of
the lungs is charged with a healing
balsam that kills the germs and bacilli
of catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show an improvement and in "A short
time there should be no further
trouble from catarrh Its action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive but
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you Chas. Rhodes will re-
turn your money. What other treat
ment for catarrh is sold under a guar
antee like this ADV.

The Union meeting of the Y w. and

the chapel on Sunday afternoon was
most helpful. After short song SER
vice DR.. Brokenshire readst the scrip
ture lesson of the Good Samaritan
taken from the tenth chapter Of Luke.

for his subject "How do we read life ?"
Practical examples were chosen to il
lustrate the reading of books as shown
from a. students viewpoint AS an
example of accurate reading, he men,
toned the rapid fire pace at which
Theodore Roosevelt is capable of alb
sorbing books. President Crooks said
further that to emphasize his point in
reading life, one must keep the
straight road, but in doing so, he must
view it from several angles. He con-
cluded his talk in making the point
that after all the only true reading of
life is that of action AM helpful SER

MORE STATE HIGHWAY.

The Board of Supervisors at its ses-
sion Tuesday petitioned the State
Hig,.aa.j Commissioners to designate
ten MES of road between Alma and
Riverdale as state highway which
will be part of the proposed state
highway between Saginaw and Grand
Rapids, some of which is now built be-
tween Alma and Saginaw. A like move
will probably be made by Montcalm
county, petitioning for the designation
of like road from Riverdale via Ed
more to either Lakeview or Stanton
both Of which are on designated line
to Grand Rapids. This if accepted and
laid out by the highway commission
ers does not necessarily mean the
road will have to be built at once, al
though it is very probable that the
road between Alma and Riverdale
which is on the town line between
the townships of Arcadia and Pine
River and Seville and Sumner will be
started next season. The petition was
presented by Supervisor Wright of st.
Louis, who moved its adoption and
was carried unaminmus.

year is estimated at nearly $50, 900.
A similar condition has been found in
other cities according to the state
ments of many mayors to Mr.. Balch-
Senator Burrill Trip, of Allegan,
addressing the meeting, characterized
the nti-discrimination law as the
most vicious measure ever enacted In
the state of Michigan. Mr.. Trip
fought the passage of the law and
recorded the only vote against it.
Milo ID. Campbell, of Coldwater, for
mer fire insurance commissioner of
Michigan, denounced the law in equal
ly emphatic terms, declaring that il
has created fire insurance trust in
Michigan, giving the companies the
undisputed right to make whatever
rates they desired and that the state
or the fire insurance committee have
no power to force reductions.

EAT A SQUARE MEAL AND
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION

There are hundreds of people in
Alma who were not the least bit sur
prised when they read in the Record
that Chas. Rhodes is selling Mona
on a guarantee to refund the money
in case it did not relieve. This re-
markable dyspepsia remedy will re-
lieve the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the general
played-out condition that afflicts
every one suffering with stomach
trouble. Mi-o-na does not simply re-
lieve, it aims to cure.
Chas Rhodes can tell you of many
well known people in this city who
this remedy has restored to health,
often after they have tried many other
methods of treatment with little or
no benefit. No other dyspepsia remedy
has made so large a percentage of
cures as Mi-o-na. 1t is so large that
Chas Rhodes stands ready to refund
the price to any customer whom it
does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer. and
there are hundreds in Alma today,
praising Mi-o-na because it does what
it is advertised to do. A few months
ago they could eat nothing without
wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mi-o-na, they eat what
they want and when they want it with
no fear Of suffering.-Adv.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?

Conditions confronting the two
great political parties on the eve of
the quadrennial campaign for presi-
dent are similar to those developed
prior to and during the last contest.
with the exception that the position of
the parties is reversed. In 1912
former President Roosevelt led re-
volt and aided greatly in his defeat,
although the people of the country
were ripe for one of those changes
in administration which are a pecu-
Iiarity of our political life. In 1916
William Jennings Bryan is heading a
revolt against President Wilson, and
the question among Democratic lead
ers is whether it will be strong
enough to encompass the defeat of the
chief executive, who is the logical can
didate of his party for denomination.

INSURANCE LAW
REPEAL DEMAND

Realizing that the people of Michi-
gan are paying a great deal more for
their fire insurance than they ought
to, mayors of many cities will be
asked to join a statewide movement
for the repeal of the Michigan anti
discrimination and rating bureau law
passed by the legislature.
This movement was launched at a
meeting held at Kalamazoo, Thursday
at the call of Mayor James 3. Balch
of that city and at which plans were
made for state convention of Michi-
gan mayors to be held either in Grand
Rapids or Kalamazoo early in the new
year.
In the past few weeks Mayor
Balch has communicated with the
mayors of "a cities and villages i'm
Michigan relative to the greatly in
creased fire insurance rates which
we're put into effect by the companies
following the enactment of the anti
discriminating law and the repeal of
the anti-compact measure. The esti-

Therefore we must learn to cultivate,

Finally, "think great thoughts. AS
sociate with great men thru their
books. Have great ambitions. BE
strong in some thing. Personality is
the sum of all mans qualities. Super

makes for it. Superiority in many

THAT FREE SUGAR BLUNDER.

Even the rampant Free-Trader, the

Republican Tariff on sugar "stand

blunder of the Underwood Tariff, in
dropping the sugar duties"
Isn't that a stunning whack at the
Free-Trade proposition all along the
line? Not only sugar, but every other
article brought to the American
market in competition with our own
producers. should be tolled. The Re-

such a policy. 1t is broadly, reason
