HAY FEVER FOR 27 YEARS.

Well Known New England Voman
rCuied of Hay Fever-Cure Was

The thousands of discouraged peo
ple who dread the approach of sum.
mer because they have hay fever and
cannot fii.d any relief from it, ill
read with inttrtst and gratitude the
following statement from Helen S.
W ihiams of Mansfield, Mass.
"For 27ye'drs, from the month of
August until heavy frost, I have been
afflicted iih hay fever, growing worse
and worse each year, until of late
years I was unable to attend to my
woik during that period.
"Last summer I fortunately gave
Ilyomei a trial, and I am happy to
say that it entirely cured me, and I
have had no recurrence ot the disease
since." .
Breathe the germ-killing and heal
ing ba'sams of Hyomei and get rid of
your hay fever.
Tbe complete outfit costs but 11,
eitra bottles 50 cents. Hooper' Drug
Co. agree to refund the money to any
hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei
without benefit.
J. G. Frank writes from Manhattan

nets are made jn large squares,
each side being about 40 feet long.
One net. is composed, of six

fastened to each other lightly.
When all is ready the boats which

soon realizes that something un

HOW TARPON ARE TRAPPED
Vivid Tale of Battering the Fish
An Hour Neceasary Before Sac

The boat stops still; yonder u
a swirl on a wave, and a great fish,
with a greenish body and a large,
projecting finappears above it;
i is a breathless moment. ''Look
out, dar," yells "Tony"; there is a
iplash about 30 vards awav. vou9

but like lightning before you can
apply the brake. When youdo
it is almost jerked . from yqur
grasp and simultaneously the tar
pon leaps and writhes above the
water again, scys Outing. There
is no sight more beautiful to the
eye than that of the tarpon; like
a gleam of light from darkness,
leaping forth from the green sea.
That moment when the tarpon
has the bait and you strike is the
one of all others most fraught
with intense excitement! It is the
first. crisis in the battle. He is
down again and your hook holds.
He darts back and forth, ever go
