that he had been a union man for 1
years and that they would never ad
vance their cause by such tactics.
"The next day a man who said he
was secretary" of the union spoke to me
nd said that he waa thankful for my
offer of help an would take advantage
of It. but that he waa going to Seattle
and for me not to do anything till he
returned." said the witness. "I never
aw hlra again and no person among

quest of the Employers" Association, he
had tried to gather evidence on which

sisted that the picture be marked for
Identification after Smith had failed to

motion and It was denied. After an ex
change of conversation extending over
several minutes Mr. Malarkey succeed
ed In having the picture given Into his
possession and Immediately excused
Sergeant Smith and called Special
Prosecutor Itovls to the stand.
An Interesting half hour followed.
Mr. Malarkey Insisted on knowing

"Is It not a fart that you Introduced

ing and tricking the witnesses for the
defense V Mr. Malarkey finally asked.
John A. Jeffrey, another of the spe
cial prosecutors, objected to this, say
ing that the. picture had been Intro
duced for the purpose of testing the
accuracy of the statements of the wit
ness for the defense.
"Wortman as a fat man. They are
shown the picture of a fat man. and
t'icv all sav It Is Wortman. We be
lieve that If the picture of some other
fat man wore shown them they, at least
t;'e majority of them. without any hint
being glvn thorn to the contrary,

Wortman." declared Mr. Jeffrey.
Mr. Davis finally waa forced to ad

lack of Blood Anaemia
Mrs. D. Claude Mathency. of Eason.

cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, says:
"When I was seventeen years of age,
I became afflicted with anaemia. I had
to leave school and could not walk any
distance without being short of breath.
I had terrible, dull headaches which
made me sick to my stomach. I didn't
have much of an appetite and was very
pale. The doctor pronounced my trou
ble anaemia but did not help me much.
Finally my father decided to have me
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills
helped me at once, giving me strength
and color. I have been In good health
since and recommend Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills in cases of anaemia."

right away and In a short time com

neuralgia in my head. The pains were
sharp and cutting and were through my
temples and the back of my head. I
was led to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through reading about them in a news
paper. I found them a great relief and
was entirely cured. I now keep them
In the house and always recommend
them to my friends."

Fighting the
Right Plague
Kill the Catarrh Germs and the White Plague Problem Is
More than Half Solved.
Consumption Is caused by germs: so is Catarrh.
People who have catarrh are liable to become victims of dread consumption.
The reason is very simple. Germs of consumption, no matter how vicious,
can make little headway when the membrane of the nose, throat and bron
chial tubes Is In a healthy condition.
When, however, the membrane Is raw, sore and inflamed because of ca
tarrh and the ravages of devilish catarrh microbes, the germs of consumption
can easily and quickly find a home to their liking and thus begins thousands
of cases of consumption. It starts with a cough and ends in a coffin.
Get rid of catarrh, if you have it, and you can get rid of it If you will
breathe HYOMEI. a soothing healing antiseptic air that reaches the nose and
throat and goea clear into the air cells of the lungs, where It destroys catarrh
germs and cures catarrh.
Sprays, douches, snuffs, ointments and stomach dosing won't cure catarrh.
You've got to gat where the germs are before you can kill "them, and HYOMEI
gets there while all other treatments fail.
Delays only invite needless danger; get a HYOMEI outfit today at any good
drug store for $1.00. If you already own a HYOMEI inhaler, you can get a
bottle of HYOMEI for only BO cents.

Curing Catarrh
Accept Our Advice and Try
This Remedy at Our Risk.
Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is.
one may say, the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane. Inflammation
and congestion are produced and nature
fails to throw off the accumulated poi
sons. The organ which lias been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended It should.
The result is, complication upon com
plication, which may lead to other even
more serious afflictions.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu
Tone will do wonders toward overcom
ing catarrh. It is made from the pre
scription of an eminent physician who
made a long study of catarrh, and his
great success with this remedy was an
enviable one.
We want you If you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Hexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persistency
for a reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied come back and tell u.,
and without question or formality wo
will hand back to you every cent you
paid us. This Is certainly the fairest
offer that any one could make and
should attest our sincerity of purpose.
