CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
ONLY WAY TO CURE THIS DIS.
EASE Is TO DESTROY
ITS CAUSE.

If you have catarrh and want to get
rid of 1t you must kill the germs
which cause catarrh Stomach dos

es, etc, fail because they overlook
this fact. They all help by giving
! temporary relief but they do nor
reach the germ life that has found
lodgment in your head, nose, throat.
and could not destroy 1t II they did.
The best known way Of destroying
the dangerous germs Of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself.
is to breathe into the air passages Of
your nose and throat the pleasant,
penetrating air of Hyomel (pronounc-
ed High-O-me). Hyomei is made
from purest oil of Eucalyptus combin.
ed with other powerful, healing anti.
septic and germicida1 ingredients.
You breathe it through a little pocket
inhaler which Tallman & Co. and
other leading druggists in Pendleton
and vicinity are furnishing with every
complete treatment sold. Every time
you inhale the sweet, fragrant air Of
Hyomei through this little device you
are drawing into your swollen, lnflam-
ed. germ laden membranes a medi-
Gated air which will not only reduce
all the swelling and inflammation and
open your clOgged nose and stopped
up air passages, but Will absolutely
and positively destroy every trace Of
gists are so sure Of the blessed, lasting
relief that Hyomei brings to catarrh
sufferers that they sell It Invariably on
the positive guarantee that money
paid will be refunded If successful re
suits are not secured from It's use. Get
a Hyomel outfit from your druggis,
today and begin at once to drive this
dangerous and disgusting disease from
your system forever

ADVICE FROM S. BENSON.
W. w. HARBAH.

PORTLAND, ore, May 13, 1916.
Editor East Oregonian:
My attention has been called to a
speech of C. P. strain, your county as
SCISSOR, delivered recently at Pilot
Rock against the proposed road bond
issue.
l am very much interested in the
development of the state through i'm
provement of its roads.
l should dislike to see this improve
ment blocked because of Mr. Strains
claim that it might help Portland's
millionaires and hoteIkeepers; or that
1t would not furnish nome labor wa
ges long enough: or that 1t would
cause an influx Of outside labOrers to
your county; or because Columbia
county spent all her money for new
construction, leaving nothing for
hard surface; or that it would raise
city or farm rents, or that 1t will cost
twice as much as it is worth; or that
You will be hypnotized by paving
trusts. None Of these reasons would
influence sane business man con-
templating similar private improve
ments.
The vital question asked by Mr..
Strain is will it pay?'' That question
is or should be, at the base of all en-
terprlses and improvements. ANY
man or community VINO is afraid "it

If, however, you are convinced your
roads will benefit no one or create
no additional values. bring no addi-
tio1al desirable citizens TO your coun-
ty. nor induce "back to the sOil' more
curbstone farmers. nor scatter more
school houses and homes among your
Over-large farms; in other words, II
Umatilla county is COMPLETED and
FINISHED, then vote down the

But If good roads pay, then bond

ables municipality to do what might
be hardship for the individual
farmers realize this, and that's the
reason for their demands for rural
credits. Bonds distribute the cost
over an extended period, making II
easy and at the same time getting full
and immediate benefits, besides COM
pelling the future resident to share
in some degree the cost Of improve
ments he may be enjoying.
But don't be misled by noises of
paving trusts-we have had the same
thing when Multnomah county was
paving. Buy the best you can get for
your money, whether patented or not.
That's the way buy my washing ma
chine. and that's what was done in this
county; 1t is worth all we paid, was
built under the estimate, and no one
in this county has any grounds for
complaint.

Pendleton, ore. May l6, 1915.
Editor East Oregonian:
1t would pay to build freight roads
to haul our wheat ana other products
to market and especially so since we
have new transportation line built
to our doors by the federal govern
ment that connects Us up direct with
the worlds markets by a water route
that would reduce the freight rates IN
the county fifty per cent and save as
much annually TO the producers and
consumers as the two roads to the riv-
ct would cost.
Our annual freight bill in this coun-
ty is one million donars, our taxes
five hundred thousand, two dollars
freight for every dollar tax. Fifty
per cent of our freight bill or five
hundred thousand dollars would build
the Cold Springs road, and anoth@
from Milton to connect with the road
being built from Walia Walla to Wal-
lula. These two roads tapping a
wheat and fruit district at right an
giles from the railroads will solve u
real transportation problem.
These roads would be an asset in
stead of liability and accommodate
taxpayers as well as tourists,
There is not mucn use trying to
lower freight rates by IA road along a
railroad because this overhead ex-
pense is already met and they can out
reach and under bid US.
Roads reaching from the towns or,
into the country will develop our re-
sources, increase our marketing facil-
tiles, give daily mail and encourage
country life by making it less lone
some, giving the doctor a road and
help the farmers to build countrl
schools and churches.

Powers of Sheik ul Islam.

The office of sheik ul Islam-literal- ly chief or ancient of Islam-ranks sec. ond only to that of sultan in the Otto man empire. It's holder Is ecclesiasti- cal head of the empire and supreme in- terpreter of the Koran, with absolute control over all imams, dervishes and religious institutions, but he has ju- dicial and politicaI authority also, be- ing, indeed, first magistrate, privy seal and minister for education. In some respects the sheik uI Islam is superior even to the sultan, for his edicts are irrevocable. The sultan may dismiss him before he issues an edict. but the edict once issued takes automatic legal effect, even though, as happened in the ease of Abdul Hamid, it d2crees the deposition of the sultan himself.

Novel Methods of Warfare.

In ancient history there are two we'll authenticated instances of wild ami nals being used by attacking armies. The first is related by Appian when describing the siege of Themiseyra, in Pontus, by Lucullus: in his war against Mithridates. Turrets were brought up, mounds were built and huge mines were made by the Romans. The peo- pie of Themiseyra dug open these mines from above and through the holes cast down upon the workmen bears and other wild animals, togeth- CT with swarms of bees. The second instance occurred in England when the Danes and Norwegians were att tacking Chester, held by the Saxons and some Gallic auxiIiaries. After adopting stoning and boiling water de lenses in vain against the besiegers the SaXons threw down all the bee hives in the town upon the attackers, who were soon routed.

Going Without Food.

Science says that if he can get drink
 ing water an ordinary man can exist for about thirty days without food. At the end of that time the machinery of the body will not be ruined and can be entirely strengthened back to its old standard by careful feeding. About One-quarter of our body weight is fat
 and it is mostly this fat which is ab- Sorbed as food during the period of starvation We can absorb and burn cp our muscles until GO per cent of their weight has gone. We can do the same with from 30 to 40 per cent of our liver and digestive organs and 20 per cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose 10 per cent, and our brains and nervous system can lose per cent. It will thus be seen that the more vital organs, brain and heart, yield least of their valuable substance for the life of the body, while the less valuable sub stances-fat, muscles, and so on-are consumed first.-New York American.
