"Just Breathe It" and

Do not try to cure catarrh, head;

ten cause the loss of hearing cannot be '
cured that way. The commous nse'
method is to breathe Hyomei, which
gets the medication right where it is
needed to heal the raw and inflamed 1

Hyomei is a mixture of antiseptic j

inhaler a few times daily "and this j
health-giving medication will quickly j
soothe and' heal the irritated tissues, 1
stop distressing choking and unclean ;

headaches cease, and every catarrhal
gvmptom soon vanishes.

HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 9.2. 1914.
CAPITOL
THE STATE'S WHEAT CROP
CAINS 2MOM BUSHELS
Condition as of October I, as Estimat
ed by Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, Shows Total of 34,-
272,000 Bushels for 1014
Until this year this State Depart
ment of Agriculture received crop
statements from voluntary correspon
dents. Now, however, the work is sys
tematized. and is under the direction of
Mr. Ij. H. Wible, traine I statiseian,
who is in charge of the new depart
fneiit. Mr. Wible sends to each town
ship ait exhaustive list of questions
each month and from the replies 'he
compiles a full report of crop condi
tions. The report on »rop conditions as
of October 1. shows that Pennsylvania
crops are in a tine condition. The de
tailed report includes the following
figures:
Wheat, estimated area harvested, 1,-
312,000 acres: product per acre, 18.5
bushels; total estimated product for
1914, 24,272,000 bushels; quality com
pared with an average. 95 per cent.;
crop of 1913 still in producers' hands,
4 per cent.; damage by the Hessian
fly, 10 per cent.
Rye, estimated area harvested, 280,-
000 acres; product per acre, 17 bush
els; total estimated product for 1914,
4,760,000 bushels; quality compared
with an average, 95 per cent.
Oats, estimated area harvested, 1,-
073,000 acres; product per acre. 29
bushels; total estimated pro luct for
1914, 31,117,000 bushels; quality com
pared with an average, 90 per cent.
Corn, prospect compared with a nor
mal yield, 95 per cent.; cut for ensilage,
10 per cent.; damage by July storms,
5 per cent.
Potatoes, probable total yield com
pared with last year. 90 per cent.
Tobacco, prospect compared with an
average yield, 95 per cent.
Pasture, condition compared with an
average, 85 per cent. ..
Apples, prospect compared with last
year, 150 per cent.
The estimate 1 production of wheat
in Pennsylvania is approximately 2,-
000,000 more bushels than the esti
mated production of one year ago; but
the acreage was slightly larger this
year than last. The average increase in
production this year over last js about
one and one-half bushels per acre. The
Hessian fly damaged the wheat con
siderably in certain sections of the
State, particularly in Berks and Mont
gomery counties.
The estimated acreage ami produc
tion of rye are about same as 1913. The
acreage of oats for 1914 is about S1 ,-
000 acres less than harvested last year.
The average production per asrc is
about two bushels less per acre. The
decrease in production is largely due
to the unfavorable condition at the
time of seeding and to the ravages of
the army worm. The army worm dam
aged the crop more particularly in the
northwestern counties.
The dry weather has materially af
fected the crop in many parts of the
State, yet in other sections there is a
very large crop. Reports indicate that
the potato crop, about 90 per cent, of
an average yield, is very poor in many
counties. Pasture is very poor due to
the long drought.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLISHHIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If Tou Feel Backacby
or Bladder Troubles You—Salts
Is Fine for Kidneys
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their ef
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the acids, waste aud poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stom
ach sours, tongue is? coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment; the channels often get
irritated, obliging von to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralise these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoouful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act line and bladder disorders disap
pear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon .juice, com
bined with iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir
ritation. .lad Salts is inexpensive;

t standard. The famous ice cream case
i of lirie, which the lower courts and the
t Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, have
3 decided in favor of the State, has been
. appealed by ice cream manufacturers
j ro the I'nited States Supreme Court.
The State maintains that it can require
a certain standard of butter-fat in the
ice cream sold to the public. The manu
-5 facturers hold that they can make the
. "ice cream" of skimmed milk if they
choose, provided they put in no dele
j terious substances,

main over such timber as they mar
5 need, in building causeways, bridges
i or in case of emergency,—roads. Tho
t Department held that they possess no
f such right and can take no timber. The
, Department also rendered an opinion
j to John M. Baldv, president of the Bu
reau of Medical Education and Licen

asking if the Bureau should take ap
i propriate action upon the application
jof Thomas M. Eldridge, of Philadal

TV 1'HOll) WELL CLOSED
Board of Heal'h Takes Precautions-
One Local Case Out of Seventeen
Dr. John M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, reported last night to the Board
of Health that seventeen eases of ty
phoid fever have been reported in this
section within a month, one of which
wag contracted in Harrisburg. The dis
ease is of a particularly violent form,
he said. Two deaths have resulted.
He enumerated the cases as follows:
Three from Knola and two from other
places iu Cumberland county, two from
St eel ton, si* from Hershey and Ruther
ford, one from Middletown, one from
Siddonsburg, one from Newport and
one from this city.
The local ease is that of a man on
Monroe street, the source of which was
traced to a well, which has been closed
by the Board of Health. Two other
local people are suffering from typhoid.
One contracted the disease in South
Bethlehem and the other, a Pennsylva
nia railroader, was taken siek in Al
toona. Dr. Raunick's report shows an
increase of four cases for the same pe
riod of last year.
Fiddled Into Office
Lossing relates that in 184 She met
at Oswego. X. V., Major Cochran, then
nearly eighty years old, a son-in-law of
General Philip Schuyler, who told the
story of his election to Congress during
the administration of the elder Adams.
A vessel was to be launched on one of
the lakes in interior New York, and
people came from afar to see it. The
young folks gathered there determined
to have a dance at night. There was a
fiddle, but no fiddler. Young Cochran
was an amateur performer, and hi?
services were demanded. He gratified
the joyous company, and at the supper
table one of the gentlemeh remarked
in commendation of his talents that he
was -'fit for Congress." The matter
was talked up, and he was nominated
and elected a representative in Con
gress for this district then comprising
the whole of New York west of Sche
nectady. He always claimed to have
"fiddled himself into Congress."
The Mysterious Thyroid
The thyroid gland, which is situated
about the lower part of the throat, is I
still a medical mystery.
Practically nothing is known as to
its uses and very little about the causes
of disease in it. Goiter is a nonmalig
nant enlargement of the thyroid gland.
The swelling may be no more than a
mere thickening, or it may grow into
a mass weighing several pounds. It is

WHERE EVERY DAY IS BARGAIN DAY
215 Market Street Opp. Court House
common in mountainous districts aud
where thre is magnesian limestone iu j
the soil and drinking water. Operation]
may be necessary, but goiter will usual- j
ly yield to treatment and js rarely |
fatal. Malignant disease of the thy
roid gland is often associated with
overstrain or sudden shock. Here op- |
eration is generally necessary and is a i
very serious matter indeed. In some!
mysterious way removal of the thyroid |
gland affects the mental powers, and j
the unfortunate person who has his j
thyroid removed is in great danger of
losing his wits, more particularly his
memory. —Pearson's Weekly.
Further evidence of the plutocratic
nature of our population will be found
in the bulletin of the New York board
of health which says that Americans
cat too much meat.
Check Kidney Trouble at Once
There is such ready action in Foley !
Kidney Pills, you feel their healing
from the very first dose. Backache, .
weak, sore kidneys, painful bladder !
and irregular action disappear with I
their use. O. Palmer, Green Bay, Wis., !
says: "My wife is rapidly recovering j
her health and strqpgth, due solely to j
Foley Kidney Pills. ' And W. T. Hut
chens, Nicholson, Ga., says, "Just a!
few doses made me feel better and now j
my pains and rheumatism are all gone |
and I sleep all night long. George A. j
