IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. BASEBALL. r i 11 Manager Kelley Has Sore Crowd at Atlanta, Ga. McSuire's Colts Wreak Venge ance al Little Rock, 6 to 0. Thoney Will Join Red Sox—Mews From the Training Camps. Auguslu. Ga„ March IS—Tuesday Kas u day of stiff muscles, dry joints jtiiil tender spots for the Beaneaters. The big f* Hows are sore to the touch. Catcher Ball was up to the hit-and run specialty against Lindainan's de livery when the big fellow shied one across and the backstopper was struck just over his left ear by the bad. Lir.dy was as wild as a March hare. Manager Kelley favors a game here ■uilh Clarke Griffith's men, who are in ccinp at Atlanta, or Nap Lajoie’s Cleveland aggregation, which is train ing at Macon. He has also been chal lenged by the Mercer University base ball team of Macon for one or two games iri their home town this week. WITH LUMLEY IN FIELD BROOKLYN LOSES TO COLTS. Jacksonville, Fla., March 18.—The Brooklyn regulars lost to the colts Tuesday, 8 to 1., in a seven-inning contest. The regulars were strength ened by the addition of Capt. Lumley, who arrived in the morning from Mem phis. Lumley seems to have recovered from the injury he received in Pitts burg last season, and his splendid con dition caused great rejoicing in the cam;). Athletics 4; Montgomery 2. Montgomery, Ala., March 11 -The Athh-tics Tuesday defeated the Mont gomery club of the Southern League, ■1 to l:, before a crowd of about 11000. l»r. Powers is suffering considerably from an abcess in the ear, and man ager Mack thinks he will improve more rapidly at home than he would in following the team on its one and two-days stands. Greminger, who play a third for Montgomery, was with Detroit a few- seasons ago, and was once with the Boston Nationals. McGUIRE’S COLTS BEAT LITTLE ROCK, 6 TO 0. Little Reck, Ark., March 18.—Little Rock's noisy rooters yelled themselves hoarse in vain Tuesday, and even the prayerful urging of the lady contin gent availed naught, for McGuire’s Units or Taylor’s tryouts (whichever you may choose to call them), were de termined to make up for their defeat of last year, and they did it to the queen’s taste. Try as the home team would, and two or three times the chances looked promising, they could not get a man over the rubber, while six juicy runs, the Boston total, satisfied McGuire that he has a far speedier stable at his cnimnand than he had at any time dur ing the whole of last season. THONEY WILL JOIN BOSTON AMERICANS. Cincinnati, O.. March IS—Jack Thoney, the Fort Thomas boy. has been accused of not having the nerve to try for a big league job again. I ’’Nothing to it. I'm going after that Boston American job," said Thoney at Fort Thomas, "health or no health. "I Would have preferred taking an other year with the minors, but as Chairman Herrmann of the National Commission told me that the matter rested entirely with the Red Sox, t de cided to try it. "I would have joined the team be fore this, but I spraineil my left hand boxing at the soldiers’ gym same days ago. and so will be compelled to nurse the hurt for a few days. "However. I know it will be well enough before the end of the week to allow tne to get down to real hard work, and so .I'll probably start for Little Rook Thursday. MORIARITY AND CONROY WORK AT THIRD BASE. Atlanta, March 18.—The Highlanders Were obliged to remain idle again Tues day afternoon on account of an exhibition game being played l»y the Macon and At lan,a teams. The New Yorkers had three hours’ workout in the morning and the S'lti caused the players to perspire freely. ^Newton pitched to the batsmen for tin hour. When he curved the ball the men had some difficulty in connecting safely with it. but Stahl and Conroy made several solid drives during the practice. Moriarity and Conroy were at third, di vlding the grounders batted In their ter ritory l>y Griffith. Moriarity looks to bo in condition already. Ho fielded well and batted hard. Ball was at shortstop and kept up liis good work, making several fine stops of high lino drives and taking some difficult throws from the catchers. UNIVERSITY OF MAINE BASEBALL SCHEDULE. Orono. Me., March 18.—The baseball schedule of the University of Maine for this year has been announced by Man ager I... T\ Pike, as follows: April 20—Colby at Waterville (exhibi tion). April 25—Open.

A. lT. on the Am erican committee to select the team for the Olympic championships to be h.-ld in Kngiand in the summer, thinks that the H. A. A. Marathon run on April 20 should serve as the try-out for that event on the English program. He has sugested that to the other members of the committee. Of course the committee will not de cide to have the trial as part and par cel of the B. A. A. Marathon run with out the consent and co-operation of the B. A. A. Judging by its past good work in athletics the B. A. A. will readily consent. If such be the fact there will be national significance to the big road race from Ashland to Boston on Mon day, April 20. Already the entry of Louis Marks, winner of the Illinois A. C. Marathon early last summer, has been received. Tom Hicks, who is now in the middle West, will also enter and there will be at least one entry from the far North west. A. J. Burn, who is now in Mani toba, will probably enter. Indications now are that there will be at least a dozen entries from the West. 6000 WEATHER FOR PALM BEACH RACES. Palm Beach, Fla., March IS.—Six races splendidly contested and marked •by spectacular finishes, made the sec ond day of the fourth annual Palm Beach power boat regatta a memorable one. Weather conditions were ideal. The Dixie, owned by E. J. Sclirooder of Jersey City, made the best time, cov ering .ive miles in 111 minutes 56 sec onds. The General, owned by E. R.

Philadelphia, March 18.—The Pennsyl vania athletic authorities have made a new proposition to the West Point and Annapolis football management, by which all hands will reeeive more seats for the annual football game than ever before, and which, it is expected, will end all controversy and land the Army-Navy game for Franklin field again next No vember. Plans have been made by a contractor which will increase the seating capacity of Franklin field to 20,000. Autoist Is Indicted. Providence. R. I., March IS—The grand jury today returned an indict ment against Edward J. McCabe of this city for manslaughter.

The management of the Augusta So cial and Athletic Association offer a se ries of boxing events to he pulled off at City hall next Monday evening. March 23, that should furnish r.n abundance of en tertainment for the sports of Augusta and all along the Kennebec, as well as from other sections of the State. The star attraction of the evening will be a bout between Arthur Cote of Bid deford and Kid Shea of Jlallowcll, and everyone who saw these lads in their meeting in this city March 1!, when they put up one of tile best bouts of the sea son, will want to see them again. Botli are very clever and the coming exhibi tion will be equal m eveiy way to the last. In addition to the main limit the man agcnient lias arranged for a list ol minor attractions that will lie sure to furnish an amusing if not highly scientific exhibi tion. and will round out an evening of boxing sports that .should not lie missed. Included in these events will lie bouts between Pete Boulier and Kid Stringer, Young Trepagner and Hairy McCurdy, George Gilbert and Albert Lewis. Kid Curry and Bobby Goode and Tom Free man and Young Joe Guns, and a glance at the talent would seem a guarantee that there will be something doing all along the line.

Me., .March IS.—(Special).— What is expected to be a hot l»ut will take place in Central ball Thursday evening when Carl Chenery. some-' times known as Jack Kenyon it if Guil ford, meets Max Cote of Biddeford for a six-round argument.

Eddie Batchelor will ref eree. LYTLE AND SALZMAN WIN AT SAVANNAH. Savannah, Ga., March IS!.—Only three of the six cars which had been entered for the 180-mile race, which started off the two days of automobile racing on tlit* Savannah l-'-mile road course, were at the starting line when the pistol shot sent them off today. The throe others had been scratched cml within a feu minutes after the start a fourth car. driven by I,. .1. Zengle, was withdrawn as a result of an accident.

A of Wakefield and tlie Myles Standish Rifle Club of Portland, Me., the latter team of marksmen won by an aggregate score ol flat; points to the former's SSI. Each team had 10 men at the targets, each shooting 20 rounds from the 60-foot range. Each team used its own gallery. The Wakefield squad was considerable weakened by the absence of three of its regular team, yet lost only by 25 points. Maj. J. J. Dooley. A. S. A. P. if the Maine militia, looked after the interests of Co. A at Portland, while Portland was represented at Wake field by O. E. Gerrish. A mill at Great Barrington, Mass., ivas shut down in a most unusual man ner a few weeks ago, when water bugs •rovding into the space around the en gine-stop push button produced a short circuit and the consequent stoppage.

Mrs. H. A. Sumner of 11 Port land street, Portland, called at the po lice station and told Captain McDon ough that she believed the boy was her child who was stolen from her by a band of gypsies at Pawtucket, almost 15 vears ago. Mrs. Sumner has asked Captain McDonough to use what ef forts he can in attempting to prove the identity of the lad.

A blueberry factory Is to be estab lished at Ayer’s Junction by Oillman Smith of Kungor and George Boynton of Mc.chias, and these gentlemen are now at Charlotte for the purpose of buying suitable tracts of land. Work on the buildings will he started as soon as the frost haves the ground so that tlie factory will be ready for business during the coming summer. The plant will be located Immediately opposite the Washington County depot and close to -.be track of the Kastport branch in order that tlie output may be loaded directly into the cars. Successful experiments have been made at the lioyal Theatre, in Stutt gart. with a new apparatus designed to distribute ozone at fixed intervals throughout the building. The ozone is conducted by small tubes to all parts of the house and turned on, regulated and turned off at will. The result .has been excellent, the air being completely purified within a few minutes. 1 COUNTY NEWS. KENNEBEC. NORTH LITCHFIELD. Mrs. Elmer F. Campbell of Bath, who has been visiting- her parents, Mr. anf greatly confusing speculative sen timent and increasing suspicion until stocks were unloaded in haste. The prin cipal anxiety of the followers of the speculation had t do with the conjec tured plans of the lenders and these per sons succeeded in so befogging their ac tions and their intentions as to have the would-be followers in considerable dis tress of mind. The strong recovery in yesterday’s late market was held to in dicate that the bull leadership had let down prices on Monday and early yes terday merely for the purpose of shak ing off a weak speculative following and tor the advantage of having back stocks whieh they had themselves sold out at a profit. The sharp break which devel oped today after a moderate advance proved disconcerting to this viow of the. situation. Incidents in t lie day's news wore against a rise in prices. The mar ket showed primary resistance, however, to the principal of these, which was tic* reduction In the New York Central divi dend rate from C to a a per cent, basis. The fleet of the announcement was even more pronounced on other trunk line stocks notably Pennsylvania, than on New York Central ilseif. The effect was aggravated by the heavy decline in net earnings for February reported by the Baltimore fi Ohio. The knowledge that men influential in the steel trade were in conference in this city and intimations that trade conditions there reported were pot hearing out re cent predictions of betterment' weighted on the market severely and made tho most substantial f u-tor in the weakness which developed. The Illinois Central fi naicial plan alt l ough involving valuable privileges to stockholders at the present price of the stock, did not save that stock front sharing fully in the general weakness. Final slight recoveries from the low point of the break were plainly due to hasty covering of short sales. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,450,(00.

Mi l FINANCIAL. FINANCIAL. THE BOSTON CURB AND EUREKA MINES Very few of the brokers and investing public who are purchasing heavily Eureka Hines on the Boston Curb realize the actual value of this security. This new camp is located in the Jarilla Mountains, New Mexico. We are the only brokers to our knowledge who have visited this new camp. We have spent thousands of dollars in connection with our examination. When we visited the camp seven months ago we found three producing mines. Last month, when we again visited the camp, there were fifteen producing mines; a million-dollar smelter was tunning to its fullest capacity; over 800 mining claims staked out. Gold, silver, copper and turquoise everywhere, values running from $400 to *16.000 per carload. This camp is directly on the Rock Island R. R., and with its smelter on the ground brings the cost of production to its lowest pos sible price. Eureka Mines Company is a consolidation of valuable mining properties in this camp. The Eureka Mines preferred is selling on the Boston Curb from *1 to J1V&. Eureka Mines common stock is selling from 15c. to 18c. Eor permanent investment buy S per cent, preferred stock. For speculation and quick profit taking, buy common stock at any price under 30c. Any broker can buy this stock for you. Watch the papers for quotations.

Daily Kennebec Journal ESTABLISHED 1S25 No notico whatever will bo taken ol unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsibli for the preservation or return of re jected communications. Address all communications relating tc ■subscriptions and advertisements ic t BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, March 19, 1908. Senator Tillnian continues to dem onstrate that his proper field is vaude ville. Chronic rheumatism is the first foe that e%er got the better of Admiral Evans. "Why not put "In God we trust” on all our money if it is to go back on some of the coins?

Although everybody has a cordial welcome for the first robin of spring, nobody really credits the bird with any degree of good sense. That was a sad St. Patrick’s*'day for Dublin and all the old country when the champion heavyweight of Ireland was put out of commission in one round by a third rate pugilist frcfm Michigan. The plain people of Texas, are grieved to learn that Senator Bailey of that state has just invested $17,000 in Washington real estate, but his enemies there are chortling with un holy glee at the revelation. Arkansas is pretty solidly in the Democratic column but plainly they are not all Democrats out there. In con nection with ths arrival of triplets in an Arkansas family this week it Is an nounced that the proud parents have named the youngsters Theodore, Taft and Fairbanks. Hayti musn’t get to cutting up higlt jinks just because most of the Ameri can battleships are in far away IJacific waters. Any revenue cutter bearing the American flag and carrying a gat tling gun in its bow can bring thfft tur bulent little Island back to the tempo rary possession of its senses at very short notice. As for permanent good behavior on liayti’s part, of course, that is something uliich nobody ex pects. _ r_ Congressman Bourke Coekran is again in disfavor with Tammany hall and Boss Murphy ha.s dropped hint from the Tammany committees with a dull, sickly thud. This is taAcn as meaning that Tammany will not allow him to go back to Congress when his present term expires. The same tiling happened to Coekran during the reign of Boss ('roker but it is hard to keep a man of that kind down. As the ’presidential year moves on ward Massachusetts begins to figure more and more. Not only has gover nor Guild been “mentioned” as a pos sible Republican candidate for vice president and ex-Goveraor Douglas for a similar place on tlie Democratic tick et, but now the word has gone out that Thomas I. Hisgen of Springfield is pretty sure to be nominated for the first or second place on Hearst's Inde pendent League ticket. It is likely to he the second place, however, instead of the first, for Hearst himself who pels up the money and runs this “party'' ns a personal advertisement will naturally want the first place. The olllcial inspection of the Maine dairies which contribute to the milk supply of Massachusetts refutes abso lutely tile unkind criticism made upon these dairies not long ago by the health authorities of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts health officers by an in spection of two or three dairies which failed to come up to their standards, judged the whole, and in so doing plainly did Maine's dairy interests a great injustice. The thorough investi gation of Maine Dairy Inspector, Leon Merrill of S ilon, under direction of Commissioner of Agriculture Gilman puts things in a-'diff be only a mild form of ill ness. For over half a century he has been a prominent figure In the affairs of his native state and has held almost every office iri the gift of the people of Maryland. He was born in Baltimore, in 1S24 of a fine old southern family and gradu ated at. Harvard in 1845. Two years later he was a member of the Mary land legislature and soon won a lead ing place at the Baltimore bar, hav ing been for many years past consid ered its leader. Nearly 40 years ago he was a member of the Senate for a term and later served Maryland as its governor for four years. He was may or of Baltimore in 1881 and a few years later became attorney general ot Maryland. In 1906 he was appointed to the Senate to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Gorman and this winter the legislature had elected him for a full term of six years. In Wash ington as in his hotne state he had the respect of all who kenw him. as a man of integrity, ability and engaging per sonality, and he will be deeply and widely mourned. The Dead Languages. They are still killing the dead languSgos. Professor G. Stanley Hall, whose name stands high in the world of education, refines out as a vigorous exponent of a1' plain and practical education which shall include no study of Greek and Latin. It is not to be denied that the attitude taken by Professor Hall has become more and more general and popular in this country in recent years. This utilitarian view does not prevail in the old world to the extent that it does in America and the educators of Europe cling more to the traditions of classical ^pholarship. Yet. in this country there are not a few good people both among those prominent in educational affairs and among the old-fashioned people who received their school and college train ing at a time when Greek and Latin were a part of the prescribed curriculum, who deeply regret the modern tendency of things and deplore the utilitarian zeal of men like Pro fessor Hall. These conservative, old fashioned people still cling to the con viction that 'ability to quote correctly from the Latin and Greek is worth something as indicating culture, that the masterpieces of Greek and Roman literature are eternally alive and by no means to be classed as something dead. They believe with all their hearts that It is a great mistake to disregard and throw aside the precious treasury of thought, of history, of science, of philosophy, and of litera ture which make up these Greek and Latin masterpieces. But Professor Hall belongs to that large and growing class who believe that only modern things are of use and that only the practical and im mediately useful things should figure in the education of the young. The llnal word has not been spoken, how ever, in tlifc battle. Despite the modi-, fled entrance requirements of most of the colleges, Latin and Greek, although dead, continue to live. While there are those who attack them, there are and will continue to be those who will dt> fend them and who will argue the value and even the superiority of the classical languages as a vehicle of school education. Maine Gossip In Sugaring Time. A rough-made building in the wood. Among the stately maples stood; To that dear spot my mem'ry strays And dwells upon iny boyhood days. That de«fc old sugar house, I ween. Surpassed all palaces I've seen. I now can picture in my mind Tlie joys to which we then were blind: Remember well the oxen sleek. Who faced the winds so cold and bleak To gather from the trees around The sap, with whicli they all abound. I well recall the old brick arch Which roared as loud as winds of March, And sent out such a ruddy light When we tilled it with wood each night. Upon the arch, the nectar sweet. Fit over, for a king to eat,. _ Bubbled and foamed the while we tried, '1 ended and skimmed and dipper plied When ilie too ruddy blast below Threatened to make it overflow'. And when at last the “aprons" hung And from tlie dipper gaily swung. Wo watched them tin- while they strained An.l tilled the pans with sap again. What would 1 now not give to be A country lad so gay ami free. And stand around the old brick arch While outside roar tlie winds of March. —National Magazine.

Sea girt old Harpswell beautiful in location and rich in tradition, will be 150 years old this year. Harpswell and its is'ands have been made immortal by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” Whittier’s “Dead Ship of Harpswell," the famous witch ol Harpswell and Kellogg and his Elm island stories. Harpswell’s loyal sum mer colony will no doubt see that the 150th anniversary of incorporation of the town, the 13th in Maine, is duly celebrated. The late Edward A. Brackett, whose death occurred at his home in Win chester, Mass., on Sunday, who had been the fish and game commissioner of that state for a period of nearly 40 vears, was a native of Maine, having been born in Vassalboro in 1S19. Mr. Brackett was one of the best informed authorities of fish and game anil their artificial propagation and protection in the United States. He occupied a house of peculiar architecture, de signed by himsclt and built 50 years ago. It is a combination of four oc tagons and segments of octagons, without an upright post in its entire construction, and so far as known is the only house of its kind in the world. The estate has been a place of inter est also from the many fish and game activities followed there by Mr. Brack ett. A fish hatchery, from which came millions of trout for lakes and streams in the state, is one of the features. For mally years Mr. Brackett raised Mon golian pheasants exclusively for sti ek ing the game preserves of the state and thousands of these birds have been liberated. At the breaking out of the Civil war Mr. Brackett was commis sioned by Gov. Andrew as first lieuten ant and ouartermaster of the First Massachusetts cavalry. He was mus tered into service Dec. 4. 1861. and served till March 1862. In June. 1869 Mr. Brackett was appointed to the state commission on inland fisheries and held that office 25 years. When the commission was reorganized as the State Board of fish and game commis sioners, in October, 1894. he was ap pointed for a term of five years, and each succeeding five years has been reappointed, making a total service of 39 years consecutively on that commis sion. From 1873 to 1899 he was chair man and executive officer of the board. During his term of service he had had special charge of the work of stocking ponds and streams in the eastern part of the state with game fish. Mr. Brackett was of inventive turn of mind and among other things devised an improved fishway, which makes tilt passage of fish over a dam possible. It is used throughout the United States. He found time to write many articles on fruits and flowers, which he loved, as well as about fish and game. He has also published a book of poems. Senator Bryan, of Florida, who is suffering from typhoid fhver at Provi dence Hospital in Washington, is still regarded as extremely ill. A CommunlcitfJen. Ed I torn Kennebec Journal: Permit me through the column* of your paper to call the attention of your many Republican readers to some conditions confronting us politically. We are entering upon an Important state and national campaign with Is sues of the greatest importance, af fecting the moral and business condi tions of the state and country and it is of the greatest importance that these conditions and principles be dis cussed that action may be taken in an intelligent and enlightened manner and a correct solution be reached. The paramount state issue will be the method of controlling the liquor trattic in the state. The chief question now agitating the public mind is what shall be done, if anything, in refer ence to our liquor laws. There are some Republicans who are firm sup porters of the party and its principles ■who believe a vote upon the question of prohibition would result in its re aftirmation and be more faithfully en forced. Others take directly the oppo site view. Two candidates for the nomination of Governor present themselves for the consideration of the Republican voters. One of tlie candidates suggests the plebiscite as a means of reaching a vote on the question, the other, resub mission; neither of them, however, at the present time seems to be pushing either of those schemes to the front. It conditions six months ago seemed ■to warrant the consideration of either proposition by the Republican party, it seems to me very apparent that those conditions have passed. The de velopments in other parts of.the coun try are confirming the policS' pursued by tiie Republican party for the past twenty years as being the best for controlling the liquor traffic. Why not drop the consideration of how we may change the law or reaffirm it and stand by ther and a great many arti cles, such as packings for steam en gines, gaskets, and, in fact, has been used whereever flexible or fibrous ma terial was wanted which was not in ily nmable and which would resist the action of heat. In getting out of the ground and pre paring for market the longer fibre there has been hitherto large waste and a great accumulation of short fibre, so that “dumps” as they are called, from the asbestos mines extend over groat areas .and have become a great nuis ance apd expense. This condition of things came to the notice of Professor Norton, of the physical department, while attempting to make a fireproof substitute for wood, and lie lias succeeded in making from til is very short or refuse asbes tos a substance which lias been called "asbestos wood The new substance possesses the properties of wood to a certain extent, for instance, in that it can be sawed, planed and drilled with the same tools as wood, and worked at the same speed. As to its physical properties, it is gray in color, weighs SO to 75 per cent, more than the softer woods, but not much more than oak, ar.d about one-half as much as slate, the weight of an inch board 1 by 1 inches being about eight pounds. Its strength under transverse loans is about three-fifths that of white pir.o. but the asbestos wood, having no knots or shakes and having also the same strength in both directions, there be ing no grain, has for many purposes quite as effective strength as ordinary wood. When exposed to high temper THE THIRD DISTRICT Republican Convention WILL BE HELD IN CITY HALL, WATERYILLE, Wednesday, April 29,1908 AT 11 O'CLOCK A.

At very high temperatures its strength become markedly less than usual. \t present the material is being made in sheets and boards. Doors, window frames, sheathing, doors and similar portions of ordinary structures can he made from the material, which can be nailed, screwed and varnished as in the case of wood.—Boston Transcript. Velvet takes its name from the Italian “velluto,” shaggy, offering in this respect a parallel with "satin,” which comes from the Latin "seta," a bristle. As a rule, it is safe to guess that the name of a dress material comes from some place. Besides such obvious cases as “astrakhan," “cash mere” and "tweed” there are "fustian” from Fustat (Cairo); “muslin,” from Mesopotamia; "damask,” from Damas cus, and “cambric,” from Cambral— *while "millinery” itself is from Milan. >Tiie case of "silk” is a curious one. It is “sericum," the stuff obtained from the Seres or Chinese, but these people seem to have been named in ancient Greek after ti:e Chinese word for a silkworm. Many cuttlefish farms—great tank? where the fish are bred for their black milk, which gives us India ink—are to be found on the Chinese coast, observes the Reader. To milk a cuttlefish the queer creature is driven slowly and gently into a compartment or lock lined with 1 letal. Then the water is gradu ally drawn off and the fish in the end finds himself left high and dry. Ho becomes alarmed, he squirts forth all the sepia in his sack. Then, milked dry. he is returned to his tank again TO CATARRH SUFFERERS. Good Advice and Liberal Offer From a Well Known Augusta Druggist. Bowditch, Webster Co. have been advising all who suffer from any of the symptoms of catarrh, such as offensive breath, dryness of the nose, pain across the eyes, stoppage of the nose, discharges and droppings in the throat, coughing spasms and general weakness and debility, to use Hyomoi. Bowditch, Webster Co. go so far as to offer to refund the money to any user of Hyomei who is not perfectly satisfied with the results. Quick relief follows the use of the Hyomei treatment; the stoppage of the nose is removed, the dropping ceases, the breath becomes pure and sweet, and the catarrhal germs are destroyed and their growth prevented. Hyomei is the surest simplest, quickest, easiest and cheapest way to cure catarrh. It does not drug and derange the stomach: it goes right to the seat of the trouble, destroying the catarrhal germs and healing and vitalizing the tissues. Go to Bowditch, Webster Co. to day and buy a complete Hyomei outfit for $1.00 with the understanding that if it does not give satisfaction, your money will be refunded. All you have to do is to inhale a little occasionally in the air you breathe, using the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, when the symptoms of catarrh will quickly disappear. Try it. you will be surprised and pleased at the results. Sold and guaranteed in Waterville by Geo. W. Dorr and in Gardiner by C. H. Beane. RIGHT NOW IS THE SEASON FOR RE PAIRING SHOES.
