Spring Time Need
 of a Good Tonic
MT. E. G. Fowler Tells About Spring
 Medicines and Their Uses.

We often have people come to our store for something to brace them up, said MT. E. G. Fowler. We always recommend Rexall Mucu-Tone as the ideal remedy. with the result that they invariably come back, not for the money, which we have always guaran- teed to return in case of dissatisfac- tion, but to speak in the most appreci- ative terms of this wonderful remedy, to take 1t for their springtime ail- ments.
 :, These customers tnfnk they are merely run down. out of sorts and think they want a tonic. when in real ity they are suffering with systemic catarrh, a form of disease where the catarrhal condition is scattered throughout the whole body.
 "Rexall Mucu-Tone Is a catarrh cure which we know will cure every form of catarrhal disorder. It Is nutritive unic. body builder and blood purifier, It has won the highest praise not only here, but all over the country. It cleanses the mucous membranes of the body, drives out the poison, builds up the wasted tissues. Because 1t does all this Mucu-TOne is to our notion the ideal spring tonic. The very first dose of Mucu-Tone braces you up, while three or four weeks of it in tablespoon doses three times a day will make you feel like a new person.
 Tt will rebuild your whole system, making you fairly bubble over with good spirits, buoyancy and vigor of perfect health.
 If you are feeling badly, are afraid you are going to be sick; if you are run down and miserable generally, our advice is to take a 50-cent bottle of Mucu-Tone If it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel bet ter than you have in months we will promptly retur~ '-~l' --ez'~ '''a-- az" E.. c Fowler.

HAVING A HARD TIME
IN THE PHILIFcINES
 NOT A PICNIC.
The Following is Extract From Let ter Written by Walter Smith to His Brother in This
 City.
Malabang, Mindanao,

Malabang. Mindanao, c Feb, 8, 1905. We have been on another extended expedition. and. for hardship. think 1t beat all the trips I have been on if they were put together. It was more of an exploring expedition than any thing else. We travelled through the mountains for about two hundred miles, with nothing but an old spanish map to guide us. They had made a path over the mountains about five years ago. and we had to find and keep the old path all the way through. Oh. how I wish those "Dons." had croaked before starting on their trip instead of afterwards. Only few ever reached the sea-coast again. They were killed off daily by the Moros. and starvation did the rest.
 | We Americans proved more fortu- nate. as we got throsgh and never lost man; and only about sixty took sick on the trip. Oh. but now hungry some of us did get. We went thirteen days with only six crackers and about two ounces of bacon per day; nothing else but water; and never saw living thing but on one day. when we were fired on by few Moros, most of whom are angels now. I can hardly tell how we managed to get through. We would climb over rocks probably all day, down some stream or gully and next day would be above the clouds; climbed down the mountains as steep down as a wall, for five thousand feet. and entered the grass pratries. Ye. Gods: worse than before! This grass averages from six to ten feet in height and is as tough as young cane. We had to break our way through about seventy miles of 1t, and then-oh. I t --x.A sud ell rKEB ell tE slush; from one inch to twenty or more feet deep. We had to rope our selves over several places too deep to cross any other way; woulj make Moro swim over and make fast one l end of a rope and then we would pull ourselves hand over hand, bodies drag ging through the slush and water. You ought to have seen us. we were | simply beauties to look adjust a big blotch of black mud from head to heels Though it was simply horrible. we enjoyed many a good laugh while going through it. by fellows getting ducked in the mud from the rope be- coming slack, and others slipping down, maybe out of sight, by a mis- step.
 After month and a half. with a howl like so many wild Indians. we rushed into a place named Cuturangan, on the Rio Grande River of Mindanao, where we found about $50 American soldiers and two companies of Filipino scouts, and proceeded to eat uu every thing they had in sight Some hid their old socks, being afraid we would swallow them by mistake. There our troubles ended, and we came home by boats. I never care to help make geography any more. and for exper- ience-why, feel as large as a house, by having so much of 1t to carry. Think I will write a story some day, entitled, "Our Last Trip in Mindanao," or '"The Starving Hykers Great Trail" Buffalo Bill would turn green with en- wy, if he saw it. as his exploits would be only shadows of what I could sling at the public.

UNEARTHS GIANT GORlLLAS
New Species Found in Algiers-One
of Animals Wa Seven Feet Six
Inches in Height.

Paris. - M. Eugene Brusseaux, a
French official and an explorer, las
just returned from Algiers, bringing
with him photographs of giant goril-
las, n OF which was killed by his es-
cort Of native sharpshooters.
The animal is of great size, being
sever feet six inches in height, while
the width Of the shoulders is four
feet.
One of it's hands, when cut off
weighed six pounds, while the carcas;
turned the scale at 100 pounds, and the
united efforts of eight native soldiers
were necessary to drag it to the French
~residency at Ouessou, the administra.
tive center of Central Sangha, where
M. Dupont, the government admins
traitor, buried the animal and so pre-
served the skeleton.
During the last IL months severa
travellers have reported the presence
in the upper valleys of Lonani AM
Sangarean of these enormous gorillas
which have never previously been seen
while the Arabs stats that severa
times the beasts have attacked cara
vans passing through the valleys.
These monster g~orillas differ IL
many respects from all Others hitherto
known. The ears are remarkably small
and the skin is almost bare on thu
| chest and stomach, while the shout
ders and thighs are covered with long
thick hair. M. Brusseaux believes tina
they belong to a new, or at any rate
hitherto unknown sneCies.
