Your attention has been directed
to the extensive campaign for good
roads inaugurated by the National
Good Roads Association and the M.
K. & T. railroad.
Good roads conventions have been
held in many of the important towns
of the state. The thousands attend-
ing these conventions should con-
vince everybody that Texas must
have improved public roads. The ex-
tensive campaign will culminate in
a slate good roads convention at
Austin February 2<> and 21 to which
you are most cordially invited and
to take with you the largest delega-
tion possible to represent the inter-
ests of your community. Many cities
and counties have already appointed
from five to thirty delegates.
The legislature meets every two
years only and to hvo*J uelay
prompt action is necessary during
this sessior. it will take legislation
monev intelligence system and econ-
ojiy to build good roads.
The two following important meas-
ures should be enacted during this
session.
First: The creation of the office
of state highway commissioner lo-
cated at the capital who shall be a
practical engineer and road builder
and who shall devote his time super-
vising road affairs thus creating

AU states now making substantial
progress in road improvement have
enacted similar laws. Will you ap-
point a large delegation and accom-
pany them to Austin and participate
in the state good roads convention.
Your influence and presence will in-
dicate to the law makers the import-
ance of prompt legislative action in
behalf of good roads.
All railroads have agreed to make
the low rate of one fare plus twenty-
five cents round trip for this occa-
sion.
We are assured that a joint ses-
sion of the senate and house will

Money If It I· ail*. To Cur··.
Α Ιοηκ stlid*· toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
! the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose throat and lungs has been real-
ized by physicians but not until Hy-
omei was known had the> a practi-
cal method that would obviate stom-
ach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1. and consists of a neat pocket
inhaler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention a medi-
cine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but
50 cents
°.'euthing Hyomei through the in-
haler. every particle of air that en-
ters the nose throat and lungs is
charged with a healing balsam that
soothes and allays all irritation kills
the catarrhal germs and einriches
the blood with additional ozone.
Hood & Martin have so much faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure cat-
arrh that they are selling it under
their personal guarantee to refund
the money if it does not give positive
relief
