How to Destroy Catarrh Germs
and End Catarrh
Forever.

Catarrh is a germ disease and the
only way to cure it SO it will stay
cured and never come back is to kill
and drive out Of your system the ca
tarrhal germs which have found lodge
ment there. When the germs go the
catarrh will stop. The trouble with
most treatments, like sprays, salves,
creams. greasy balms, lotions, etc, is
that they give only temporary relief
by opening up for a while the clogged
head, throat and nostrils. In a little
time the Catarrh m back as bad
IS ever.
catarrh should drop such temporary
really gets at the root Of the disease
and stamps it out. There is nothing
better for such cases than breathing
into your nose and lungs the pleasant,
soothing. healing, germ destroying air
of Hyomei pronounced High-o-mel
made from purest oil of Eucalyptus
and combined with other powerful
healing, a%ntiseptic and germ destroy
ing Ingredients. Hyomei penetrates
and heals the inf1amed, swollen mem
branes of your nose and throat, stops
discharges, clears the passages and
completely overcomes the disease by
destroying its cause. For catarrh
germs cannot live in your body after
Hyomei reaches them. Wilkinson 4
Co. and many other good druggists in
Keokuk and vicinity have long sold
Hyomei on a positive guarantee Of
successful results or money back and
find this generous policy pays. Most
are now giving a pocket in
haler made from hard rubber with
every complete treatment sold. This
a very simple, easy and con-
venient as well as a thoroughly re-
liable mean OF treating by the best
method this dangerous and Of
ten disgusting disease.

FRAiLEY ON PREPAREDNESS.

Senator Joseph r. Frailey OF Fort
Madison was In Monmouth a few days
ago and delivered al address on
Preparedness" before the members
OF the Monmouth Commercial club,
their wives and friends at the annual
Washington birthday celebration. The
Monmouth papers said that Mr.. Frai-
ley proved to be one Of the best
speakers who ever claimed the atten-
ton OF the club at any Of its social
patriotic functions.
Following a brief Introduction by
the toastmaster. Hon. Joseph r.
Frailey spoke. He said in part:

ity that you have placed upon me to-
night as he vino speaks upon an &C.
casion Of this kind is expected to con-
fer upon the father of our country such
honor as his memory is entitled to re.
ceive. 1t is his name hat inspires the
young and causes the blood OF he
patriarch to course freely through his
veins when he hears and reads OF
the great deeds Of our forefathers
who bathed this nation in rivers of
blood and tears at its birth. This
history Of ours is indeed a great one
and one cannot linger too long among
its sacred pages.
The days OF washington were not
those OF the pacifist. In his youth
Washington was a man of the frontier
and ~paciflcators at that time were I'M
known. ALL thai We have today was
purchased with the blood of IL an
cestors and it was not until the fourth
generation that the pacifist was bora.
CHANGING into history we see young
Nathan Hale being hanged as a spy.
benjamin Franklin clamoring for a
close union, Thomas JEFFERSON plead
ing for freedom, Patrick Henry max
ing a speech which u~nloosened the
chains OF oppression. Ethan Allen
demanding the unconditional surrend-
er. Of Fort Ticonderoga, John Paul
Jones battling on the water and Geo
Washington on Bonded knees at Val
ley Forge asking the assistance OF
divine power. Such has been our his!
tory and such has been Jul past.
I'm the present day things are con-
stantly changing. We see odd shapes
appear on the horizon and then disap-
rear. We are in the second century
of u independence and a period or
unrest is Upon US. Nothing is stead
fast but the great American heart
which beats calmly in every human
breast and patiently waits for tomor-
row now.
"It is we'll that we look at our periis
and seek to prepare ourselves against
them. When the present war is over
seven great powers will cast their eyes
in this direction and it is well that we
be prepared for the worst should it
happen"
In closing the speaker advocated a
greater navy, a larger army and a
well drilled force of citizens prepared

An interesting Situation.

McMan Oil company No. % on the
Clifton Richards in section 1888 has
not been gauged, but it is probable
that it is making as much as 1000
barrels. This is the farthest we'll in
the northwest extension and is the
best we'll in that locality. 1t is maxi
ing more oil than No. 20 on the same
lease located one location to the
west. 1t may be that No, 20 is an
edge we'll where the sands often
thicken and become productive, and
still it may be an indication that
the northwest extension will reach
over into the northern part of sec
ton 1858, which has not been ia
vorable looking territory heretofore.
This well will at least give encourage,
ment to drilling in the section to the
east.

TRANSFERRING PIPE LINES
Texas Company May Remove Cushing
Lines to Ardmore Oil District.

The Oklahoman under a Tulsa date
line today publishes an item of news
which states that it is rumored that
the Texas Company will take up its
lines in the Cushing field and transfer
them to the Ardmore oil district. The
article states that the lines have never
shut down. 1t is known that the com
pany has been delayed here on ac-
count of lack of pipe, and it is prob
able that the report is true and that
the Texas Company will extend its
pipe line from its tank farm near VIII
son to a point near Sherman where
the Healdton line will make connec-
tion with the Companys' main line
through Texas to the coast country.
The Texas people follow the old plan
adopted by the Standard Oil Com
pany in the early days of the oil in
dustry and never give any informa-
tion to the press. The company in
this field has always been generous
with news concerning drilling wells,
and the employees of the company
have been very kind to this paper at
Healdton, but all the men in the pipe
line department refuse to make any
statements at all for the press, and
if the lines at Cushing are transferred
here, the people will probably not
know it until the work is in actual
progress. The Standard Oil Company
has gotten away from its former ideas
of silence, and all the men in the
Standard companies are generous 10
give such news to the press as the
company can afford to give out. This
method has brought the companies in
to closer touch with the people and is
undoubtedly an improvement over the
old method of silence.

east of Madill. 1t was drilled to a
depth of 112S feet and abandoned. The
other two wells were drilled near Oak
land and were stopped at 500 feet
each. The wells were failures, but
none of them were drilled to a depth
that would constitute a test for more
than the shallow sands.

Negotiations have been attempted

finery. Whether such a deal would
be worth anything to Ardmore is not
known. If the Sinclair people con-
trolled the local refinery they would
build it into a large plant, but the
present owners are gradually enlarg-
ing the plant and it will soon be one
of the big refining plants of the state
under the present ownership.
