How TO Destroy
Catarrh Germs and
End Catarrh Forever

Catarrh, according to a noted
authority, is a germ disease and
the only way to cure It so 1t will
stay cured and never come back is
to kill and drive out of your sys-
tenn the catarrhal germs which
have found lodgment there.
When the germs go the catarrh
will stop.
There is nothing better for de-
stroying catarrh germs than
breathing into your nose and
lungs the pleasant, soothing,
healing, germ destroying air OF
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
made from purest oil of Eucalyp-
tus and combined with other pow
erful healing, antiseptic and germ
destroying ingredients. Hyomei
penetrates and heals tha inflamed
swollen membranes of your nose
and throat, stops discharges,
clears the passages and complete
ly overcomes the disease by de-
stroying it's cause. For catarrh
germs cannot live in your body
after Hyomei reaches them.
Crown Drug Co., 1882 Pacific and
many other good druggists in Ia
coma and vicinity have long sold
Hyonei on a positive guarantee
of successful results or money
back and find this generous pol
icy pays.

TACOMA
GIRL is
SLUCGED

Knocked unconscious by two
young men on Broadway near 9th
late Thursday night, Miss Agnes
Hunt, employed in a downtown
bus station, is confined to her bed
Friday while police are searching
for the assailants.
The men are reported to have
picked up the unconscious woman
and taken her to her rooms at the
Lansing hotel. Then they fled
from the scene.
Miss Hunt was on her way home
from work, she told Detective Nc
Kay Friday. AS she was hurrying
along Broadway, the men ap-
preached her from behind. Both
had been drinking, she said. As
they came up opposite to her, one
of them plucked her sleeve and
said:
Hello, kid, come on and have
a drink with us?"
Miss Hunt swung around with
all her strength and struck the
man in the neck with her fist. The
other man replied with a blow to
her temple which knocked her I'M
conscious to the sidewalk. She
awoke later in her room, attended
by a girl friend.
Allen A. Boyle, 124 North G ST.,
was one of the witnesses and re-
ported the occurrence to the
police.
Miss Hunt said that she had
never seen either of her assailants
before. They evidently had a ma
chine standing near the curb, for
they picked up the girl and hur-
ried her away before q crowd
could gather.

REBATE
DEMAND

A request byt he telephone op-
orators that the public refuse to
use Its phones while the strike Is
on, later demanding a cash rebate
for lack of service, and an open
defiance of the strikers by the
telephone company in advertising
for permanent employees to take
the strikers places, were Fridays
developments in the Tacoma strike
situation.
Miss Matilda Gruidl, secretary
Of the girls union, issued writ
ten notice asking the public to CO.
operate with the girls.
"on't order your telephone OUT,
this only gives the company $3.50
when you order it back after the
strike is over" said the notice.
This is a warning to persons who
might feel they were helping the
strikers by disseminating service.
make demand for a rebate for
loss of service while the strike Is
on. They cannot collect where
service is not furnished" was the
further warning. Don't use the
unfair telephone. Help us win the
strike"
The telephone company opened
the second day of the strike by adj
vertising for telephone girls to
take the place of those who strike,
and also for linemen and electri-
clans. Permanent positions are
offered.
1--WE gave service yesterday that
was about 80 per cent of the nor
NAL" said Manager Schlarb. TO-
day we are giving rs per cent
service, and by tomorrow it will
be much better.
Many of our old girls are COM
ing back. We are opening more
switchboards almost every hour.
Those patrons whose telephones
are dead may rest assured that
they will get service within very
short time now"
Manager Schlarb announced
Friday that a colonel in the U. S.
army at Camp Lewis had COM
mended highly those girls who
stayed on the job.
81 am not at liberty to give the
colonel's name," said Schlarb.
But he called up yesterday and
asked for the chief operator.
Il am Colonel So-and-So,' he
told her. 4 want to commend you
girls for staying on the job, par
ticularly during these trying
times. You deserve special credit
for refusing to 60 on strike and
cripple the country during ma
tiOnal crisis. l want to tell you
that / consider that those persons
who went out on strike as in the
same class with the ones we shall
soon be sent out to fight"
Union officials said that only
one former employee was left at
the switchboards, all other girls
having Joined the strike late
Thursday.
Three men haze stayed with the
company. One of them, ]. e.
Gearon. was given permission by
strikers to stay on his job, because
he is eligible to pension in four
months. James Faithful, at the
Camp Lewis station, and George
Wolfe, on toll trouble" are the
other men now working.
The strikers will give a dance
a week from Saturday.
1T will either be a benefit for
the strike, or jubilee Ger our
victory" said James Sutton, of
the strikers. Personally, l be-
lieve we will all be working for
the government by that time. 1t
will have charge of the company's
business

THE death of Buffalo Bill" Col.
VIM. F. Cody, at the ripe age of rs,
removes the last actor in great drama
now closed forever. The Indian has
become peaceful citizen, the buffalo
is denizen of parks, the railroad takes
the place of the old trail and the wild
plains have been turned into peaceful
farms or pastured fields. The whole
ancient life of the West, as it existed
when Cody was a boy or as Bret Harte
painted it in early California days, has
departed for all time and with it much
of the heoric, romantic and fearless.
The American boy will be hard put to
in order to create another hero OF the
Buffalo Bill" order.

Marshall Farmer Found Dead in Corn
Field.


With his faithful dog keeping an all
night vigil in fruitless effort to arouse
him, the frozen body of VIM. McCar
thy, a Medina bachelor farmer, was
found in his corn field last Sunday
morning by a neighbor, Chas. Meyer.
Mr.. Meyer noticed the driverless team
standing near the barn about $50 that
morning, and thinking it queer that
Mr. Mccarthy would be using his team
on Sunday, as he always attended
church services on that day, went to
the Mccarthy home to investigate.
Finding no one around, he followed the
tracks of the team into the corn field
Here he was met by the dog and fol-
lowing on still farther soon came upon
the lifeless form of Mr. Mccarthy
lying prone on his back near the corn
shock he was about to load onto the
wagon when he was stricken. His
clothes were partly torn off by the dog
in the faithful animals effort to arouse
his master. 1t is thought that he was
stricken with paralysis or heart failure.
Mr.. Mccarthy lived alone on his farm
about IL miles northwest of Marshall,
and was about 81 years of age.

Florence Ella Knox.

Florence Ella Wentworth, only daugh-
ter of Ward B. and Florence Bingham
Wentworth, was born in the town of
Albion, June 10, 1882. After the death
of her mother, Dec. %, 1890, she, with
her father, lived with her grandmother
in Edgerton, where she grew to woman
hood. Possessed of sunny DISPOSE
ton, she made large circle of friends.
In early life she became member of
the Congregational church of Edgerton.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-01-26

She attended Edgerton high school
for three years when she was compelled
toleave school on account of i'll health.
Later, while attending GAINESVILLE Bust
ness College, she made her home with
Mrs. Ketchpaw, for whom she enter
tanned lifelong friendship, and there
| first met Mr.. Knox, whom she after
| ward married. She graduated in 1907
In 1908 she passed several months in
California and on her return was mar
ried Oct Is, 1908, to Samuel R. Knox
of GAINESVILLE, Wis. The first years of
her married life were passed in James
vile where she formed many friend
ships, but later they lived in Elburn,
Ill. She passed away at the Colonial
Cottage, Geneva, ILL.,, Jan. IL, 1917,
leaving baby boy, Wesley Wentworth
Knox. Wherever she lived she was in
the social life of the community and
welded an influence for all that was
good and pure. Admired and loved for
her womanly qualities, she leaves behind
memory that will long be cherished,
and those who knew Mrs. Knox best
loved her most. After her marriage,
Mr.. Knox being prominent Mason,
they joined the Eastern Star of Elburn,
ILL.,, of which order she was an enthu-
siastic and earnest worker AS trib-
ute of respect to their deceased sister,
the Eastern Star of Edgerton attended
the funeral services in body. Pos
sessed of happy home and looking
forward to bright future, she met
death as she had always met life,
bravely. Her untimely death comes as
shock to her many friends in Edger-
ton and elsewhere Mrs. Knox is sur
vived by her husband and baby boy,
her father and brother and grand
mother.
In appreciation of her life large
number of friends gathered at the Con-
gregational church in Edgerton, Mon
day, Jan. Is, 1917, at o'clock p. M,
to pay their tribute of love and respect.
There were banks of floral tributes,
among them beautiful pieces from the
Anemone Chapter of O. E. S. of Ell
burn, ILL.,, Blackberry Masonic lodge of
Elburn, ILL.,, I. o. o. F., Geneva Chap
ter and st. Charles O. E. S., Elburn,
Ill. The services were conducted by
Rev T. Parr of DavennOrt Iowa
her former pastor, assisted by Rev.
Brandt of the Congregational church.
Rev. Parr spoke from the words of the
7th Chapter of Revelations. The pail
bearers were Sam Pringle, Roy Far
man, Arthur Wileman, L. Hutson, Will
Pelton and Earl Dickerson, former
schoolmates. Interment was made in
Fassett cemetery.

The Journal of Commerce is author
ity for the statement that Great Brit
aims foreign trade for the year 1916
was seven billions or only one billion
less than the United States in that
year. With 10 per cent of its popula-
ton under arms, England is financing
her allies, building miles Of munition
plants and increasing her foreign trade
at an immense rate. The subscription
to the great war loan, the biggest
financial operation in the history of the
world, was accomplished with ease.
Germany no doubt sees and notes this
new spirit aroused by the war and re-
allies that peace now would be most
oppOrtune.
