Say to your druggist "I want HyomeF
(High-o-me) and you will have started the
only sensible method to cure Catarrh.
When the catarrh victim begins to toe commie sense
he quietly loses ha catarrh.
Saturating the stomach with vile drugs and ok noxious
nostrums never cured catarrh. They don't reach the
spot Spravs and douches and the like may sve tem-
porary reiiet. but they never cure. 1 ney aon I reacn
the spot.
In order to cure catarrh you must reach the affect-
ed part and you must reach k with something that
wiii pass over the enure afflicted membcann and
as it passes over the inflamed and germ-ridden
membrane will kill every catarrh germ along the
route.
You can't cure catarrh wi'Sout killing the ca-
taiA perms and you can't lull the germs unless
y u can get the killer where the germs are.
Hyomei is a Uler of catarrh germs because
when you breathe it in its antiseptic and germicide
properties reach every nock and crevice of the
mucous membrane from t' e mouth and nose deep
into the cells of the lungs.
Hyomei brings the Australian forests of pine
and eucalyptus to your home. It is made of the
active principles extracted from these trees.
No one who lives in or near these forests suffer
from catarrh. No one who breathes in Hyomei
the real forest air of Australia wiB hare catarrh
for long after the treatment starts.
H you want to cure catarrh croup bronchius coughs
colds asthma hay fever or any inflammatory condition
of the nose throat or chest try Hyomei (pronounced
High-o-me) the axrsmoa-seose cure. The cure that
reaches the spot
"I suffered from chronic catarrh for years. I became
almost discouraged. Two bottles of Hyomei produced
complete cure. I recommend it to catarrh sufferers.

TJ. S. Treasurer Trept Issues Report
for Fiscal Year of 1908.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON. Icinber 4. W. IT.
Treat treasurer of the i'nited Sta.ts in
his report calls attention to the fact that
owing to the disturbed relations between
the income and outgo of the government
there was a deficiency last year of $58.-
(170.201. as agatnnt a surplus for the pre-
ceding yea of and points out
that the total revenues for 1908 exceeded
any proredlng fiscal year eirept 1907.
Treasurer Treat points nut that thus It la
apparent that the trouble Is not tn de-
creasing receipts but in Increasing ex-
penditures which situation the treasury
was able to meet with the excess of
revenues which had accumulated during
the previous years.
"The general stock of money In the
country at the close of the last fiscal
ear was J.1.37JsTH4.03. an Increase of
$lK3.303.fl63l as compared with that of a
year ago. The money In circulation for
the past eleven years has steadily in-
creased the growth per capita advanced
from S22.87 In 1KC to $34.72 In 1H08. There
were 2tf.3flfia7r.: pieces of United States
paper currency in circulation on Octo-
ber 1 though the paper circulation Issued
directly by the government Is In better
condition than for many years past."
The report suggests that for similar
reasons the government should provide
for the transportation of its paper Is-
sues to the treasury for redemption.

THE society any society in any city is
giving a banquet. The diners have had their
food hurled at them and have hurled it into them.
A long and imposing toast-list has been prepared
and the speakers are at the head table trying
not to appear self-conscious. Cigars are lighted.
The orchestra is playing The Merry Widow. A
few of the younger set are humming along with
the tune. The ladies have arrived in the gallery.
The Toastmaster rises taps with the gavel glances
around the room and smiles complacently. There
is a great noise of chairs being shifted so every-
