YOUR HUSBAND
WORKS TOO HARD

Nearly every wife feels that hel
husband works too hard, and
worries because he will not take
the rest she knows he needs. She
sees how tired and exhausted he
is at night and how his sleep fails
to rest him. She knows that his
business is killing him-but she
also knows that he will stick to
his work just as long as he is
able to stand.
II he could only take a vaca-
ton, IL she could only get him
away from business for a few
weeks-but that is out of the
question.
II is in cases of this kind that
Rexall Mucu-Tone proves its rare
value.
We could do a great work If
we could only convince every
woman who reads this newspaper
that Rexall Mucu-Tone will do
her tired-out husband as much good
as a racation - that it will brace
him up physically and mentally,
replenish his waning vitality and
make him strong and we'll.
WHAT CATARRH REALLY MEANS.
Mucu-Tone is primarily catarrh
cure, but the term catarrh is very
broad. II signifies a congestion
of the mucous membranes due to
the inability of the body, through
close confinement and lack of out
door exercise, to throw off the
poisons that gather in the system,
q condition that affects the entire
organism of the sufferer, causing
him to feel run down, worn out,
weak, nervous and respondent.
MucuTone not only corrects
these conditions, driving out the
poisons and restoring health, but
1t Is powerful tonic and system-
builder as we'll. 1t brings new

James c. Bobet, one of the men en-
ployed in the jetty work at the mouth
Of the river. was drowned yesterday
afternoon while working at the end of
the jetty. The body was not recov-
cred. and probably never win be. as
the swift-running current carried 1t
out to sea. News Of the accident was
received by The AstOrian last evening.
Bobet was one Of the dumping crew
engaged at the jetty. This crew at
tends to the dumping Of rock into the
sea. Yesterday afternoon the men were
at work almost at the end Of the jetty,
where the piledriver is located. The
dumping process always shakes the
rock cars, and it is supposed Bobet
lost his balance while the rock was
being dumped into the water. There
were five other men with him when
he fell into the sea, but he drowned
before assistance could be rendered.
The tide was running out like a
millrace when Bobet went into the
water. The young man could swim,
but he was powerless to make any
headway against the tide. In anticipa-
tion of just such accidents, lifeboat
is kept at the end of the jetty, and

the time the men manned the boat
Bobet had been carried some distance
by the tide, and soon sank from sight.
The unfortunate man was 2s years
Of age and had been employed at the
jetty for IS months. He is survived
by Mrs Bobet, who resides at Ham
mond.

RUSSIAN FLEET DIPPED IT'S
FLAG TO THIS 5ARkENTINE
James johnson, Just Arrived From
Hakodate, Reports Series of Ex.
citing Adventures.

Captain Bennecke, of the barkentine
James Johnson. which reached port
Friday from Kakodate, Japan. reports
having fallen in with three vessels of
the Russian vladivostok squadron
which are raiding the Japan sea and
the Pacific ocean. The vessel had de-
livered a cargo of lumber at Shanghai
and then proceeded for Hakodate in
ballast. On June is, while passing
through Tsigura strait, three warships
came in sight and gave chase. The
barkentine crowded on all sail and
held her own, but when the wind be-
gan to fail the warships closed up the
intervening distance. A shot from the
squadron prompted Captain Bennecke
Ito come about, and a boarding party
went aboard the barkentine. The ves-
sells papers were examined and search
was made for contraband, but nothing
was found that would give the Rus
slams cause to hold the barketine. Cap
tain Bennecke was required to sign
IA paper to the effect that he had no
complaint to offer because his vessel
was. stopped. When the boarding party
returned to the warships all three ves-
,sels dipped their colors to the barken-
tine, and in turn the American flag
was dipped. The Johnson continued
,on her way to Hakodate, where she
sailed into the harbor. AS she went
in she was signaled by vessels in the
harbor and by tug that came out to
meet her, but Captain Bennecke did
not understand the signals. When the
barkentine brought up at anchor the
members of the crew learned that they
had sailed into a harbor filled with
mines, and that the watching crowd
in the harbor expected every moment
to see the barkentine blown to atoms.
The vessel had missed all of the mines.
