New Structure Formally to the Public Thursday There was a large attendance Thursday night at the formal opening of the new Windham High school buildi Parents and friends and the public gencrally took advantage of the opportunity for public inspection of the splendid facilities offered in the new building for instruction in its varied liness. The doors were thrown open at 7.30 at which time the instructors were found in their respective departments, to explain the methods pursued and opportunities offered for high school edycation. The high school orchestra rendered a well chosen programme from 7.30 to 8.15 o'clock showing the effects of the ‘capable coaching of C. C, Hel- mold, who has had charge of their work, Late? in the evening those present saw a basketball same between two teams chosen from the school, and relay races and other sports in the gymnasium. An excellent programme was also_furnished by the Girls' Glee club, under the efficient direction of Charles C. Caswell, musical director of the schools of the town. George F. Taylor, chairman of the building committee, gave a short ad- dress on the history and growth of the school, and the course of events which led up to the erection of the present handsome structure. Dr. F. E. Guild, chairman of the town school commit: lQP responded for the town. Follow- cises dancing was enjoyed The new ‘Windham High school was built at a cost of $125,000, to replace the structure destroyed by fire some two years ago. It is a handsome ap- pearing building, absolutely fireprcof and equipped in the latest and most up-to-date manner, a source of pride to the town of Windham and the An Easy Way To End Catarrh Forever Simple Home Treatment Germs of This Dangerous Destroys Disease. The reason why 'so many people who suffer from Catarrh never seem able to get cured is that they are continually Seeking the momentary relief of sprays, douching, ' greasy creams, ointments, cte. “Such things do open up the swoll- en mostrils and clear the head tempo- rarily, besides stopping for.a while the disgusting blowing, hawking, spitting and choking, but they never cure. To drive out Catarrh for good you have got to get down to its real cause. Ca- tarrh germ disease. The air is always full of catarrh germs thrown off by one person and absorbed by an- other and when the system does fail to throw off such germs they find per- manent lodgement in the nose, throat and head and multiply rapldly. The germs of catarrh can be best destroved by inhaling the pure medi- cated air of Hyomei (pronounced High-s o-me). This splendid and powerful combination of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing agents has a wonderful germicidal action. You breathe its air into your nose, throat and lungs by means of a_small hard rubber inhaler which The Lee & Osgood Co. and other leading drugsists here in Norwich and vicinity supply with every treatment. This medicated air is certain death to the germs of Catarrh. and drives them completely out of vour system and when the germs are destroyed the ca- tarrh with all its_disagreeable symp- toms will stop., “Even two or three minutes’_use will give refreshing re- lief, while, if you will use it two or thrée times a day for a few weeks, It will completely banish catarrh and ev- ery symptom of catarrh. As Hyomel is pleasant to breathe and Is always sold bv druggists everywhere with a posi- tive guarantee of successful results or money back, surely no Catarrhal suf- ferer should go long before trying this imple home remedy.
