CATARRH VICTIMS
Get Immediate and Effective Relief
by Using Hyomei
Hyomei is nature's true remedy for
catarrh. There is no stomach dosing
you breathe it.
When using this treatment, you
breathe healing balsams and effec
tively reach the most remote air cells
of the throat, nose and lungs, the ca
tarrhal germs are destroyed quick
and sure relief results.
Hyomei often restores health to
chonic cases that had given up all
hope of recovery. Its best action is
at the start of the disease when the
breath is becoming offensive, and con
stant sniffling, discharges from the
nose, droppings in the throat, or that
choked up feeling begin to make life
a burden. At the first symptom of ca
tarrhal trouble, surely use Hyomei.
Ask Huntley Bros. Co. for the com
plete outfit, $1.00. He will refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.
Now you can't buy or mail them
any too soon.

FOR THANKSGIVING'S FUN
There is a time for work and a time
for play. Thanksgiving time, the time
of pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns, is
the natural play time for grownups as
well as little people.
The fancy dress costume behind
which one hides for an evening often
taxes one's greatest ingenuity to design.
A Pierrot costume is always dainty
and becoming. It seems somehow to
impart to the wearer the very spirit of
fun. It may be the regulation costume
of the clown, the motley or it may be
of white effectively finished with the
usual fluffy black silk pompoms. A
huge ruff and a pointed cap also add
' to the effect.
For this costume in size 34 8 yards
of material are required.
The shepherdess costume is another
favorite. With its draped panniers,
straight bodice and slender skirt it is
very dainty and attractive.
One of the old fashioned looking
flowered muslins with a plain skirt is
the usual thing and perhaps the most
appropriate.
A broad brimmed hat and a shep
herd'p crook "would complete the cos
tume. This design may be copied in size 36
with 8 yards of 36 inch material
No. 7298 sizes 26 to 42.

TRAMP GETS WATCHES
AT OAK GROVE HOI
The home of Mrs. J. Moody, at Oak
Grove, was robbed, two watches
taken, and some silver, Tuesday after
noon. Sheriff E. T. Mass was notified and
went to the scene with his deputies. A
tramp who applied at the back door
of the home of Mrs. Graff in Oak
Grove for something to . eat went to
the house and the officers suspect
that he found Mrs. Moody away and
raided the place. He took two watches
that were valuable and one of them
had a fob made from a chain brace
let. It also had several jewels of va
rious kinds on the fob. The sheriff
has secured a complete description of
the tramp and has sent, it broadcast
throughout the surrounding counties.
Th,e man's watch that was stolen
bore the number 1,731,392 while the
ladies' watch was number 37,250. The
tramp evidently took advantage of the
fact that Mrs. Moody was not at home
and entered the house where he se
cured these valuables. The man's
watch was intended for a Christmas
present.

HOMEMADE BUTTON BAG.
holding the buttons. The entire bag
is bound with ribbon, and the bandies
are of heavy cord wrapped with the
ribbon.
A yard of lawn or dimity makes a
pretty remnant bag. Cut a strip eight
een inches wide and sew into shape.
Sew lace about the edges and work
a buttonhole at each side for the rib
bon to run through, make a casing and
run Inch wide satin ribbon in, leaving
enough to make n bow at each side.
This bag Ls especially useful to a
young mother for holding scraps of
white trimming she accumulates for
baby's use.
Needles of all sizes used in sewing
on buttons should accompany the bag.
Many of the ordinary ueedies are too
thick to slip conveniently through the
tiny e'ves of small buttons. A paper
of needles tested to make siire they are
the proper sizes will he appreciated.
So. too will threads especially stout,
but not too ruarse for the needles.. As
a rule, linen thread is the best for this
purpose.
An Old Puritan Name.
Among the millions of our fellow
countrymen you would expect to find
some curious survivals of names. Well,
the other day I found the name, still
surviving in Lancashire. "Trample
pleasure." It does not occur in the Lon
don telephone directory. It has never
before occurred in my experience, but
it Is obviously a survival of the "Praise
God Barebones" period. And the last
man with that name should be for
given if he shortened It to Smith.

The campaign for and against home rule In Ireland is at an acute stage. The Lister opposition to home rule,
headed by Sir Edward Carson, is most bitter. Sir Edward says an army backed by $5,000,000 will be raised, if
necessary, to keep Ireland under England's control. In the illustration are shown Sir Edward Carson signing the
covenant to risk all in opposing home rule and a rally of his supporters in the streets of Belfast.
