(Special)—Herbert Knox Smith,
Commissioner of Corporations, will
deliver an address on "Trusts” be
fore the National Civic Federation at
Its annual meeting to be held In Chi
cago, October 22 to 25.
From information received here
this meeting of the Federation will
likely be an anti-trust gathering. It
Is understood that the question is to
handled by a number of prominent
men who are expected to express
their views without reservation or
qualifications.
Mr. Smith will speak for the ad
ministration, and his address is ex
pected to be In the nature of a crit
ical analysis of “Trusts.”
Mr. Smith was not inclined to ac
cept the invitation of the Federation
to deliver the address. He felt the
Importance that would be attached
to his utterances because of bis po
sition as lnvestigator-ln-chlef of
trusts for the Government and
spokesman for the Administration.
He has been at work all summer and
is In need of rest
But the Civic Federation is dear to
Secretary Straus, who is Mr. Smith’s
Immediate superior, and Mr. Straus
was anxious that Mr. Smith should
speak on the topic assigned him.

Nature has a remedy fo rcatarrh.a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
It Is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomel which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re
mote air cells In the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the mucous
membranes.
In using Hyomel you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for It gives a cura
tive air bath to the air passage that
haa as powerful healing and antlsceptlc
effect as that found in the moun
tains where the pine forests give off
their fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the Invigorating and heal
ing Hyomel, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Dodson’s Pharmacy has
seen so many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh, with offensive
breath, raising of mucous, frequent
sneezing, droppings In the throat and
spasmodic coughing, that they feel
warranted in selling Hyomel under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money It it doea not do all that la
claimed for It They take all the risk.
