belief in the medicine so strong that I bought my first bottle of Mucu-Tone then and there.
 Since then have bought four other bottles and am practically a well wo- men. I eat heartily, sleep soundly, and am no longer nervous and pale, but a hearty, active woman. If my case was as the doctors said, one of nervous debility and malnutritlon, then I am sure you have in MucuTone a wonderful remedy for this condition Everyone notices the change in me and compliments me on my good health
 Grateful for your helpful and heal ing medicine, remain, etc, Mrs. R. T. Brockette, 215 West 116th St., New York City.
 There are many Montgomery people afflicted just as Mrs. Brockette was, who, if they would only overcome their prejudice against patent medicines, could be cured In a few weeks time," says MT. Fowler. We have any num- Der of our prominent people tell what Rexall Mucu-Tone has done for them, but when we suggest their giving us a statement to that effect, they always say no, they wouldn't want anyone to know that they had used patent med icine. That's why you constantly hear that only poor people use patent medi- eines, but 1t Is a mistake We have as many customers among the society people for Rexall Mueu-Tone as we do the working class, and we keep them all through the merits of the prepara- ton We have that confidence in 1t that we willingly guarantee a fifty cent trial bottle will produce beneficial results or we will refund the purchase price to any customer"

Mrs. R. T Rrockette, Prominent New York Society Lady, Tells E. G. Fowler What RexalI Mucu-

Mrs. R. T. Brockette. well known in foreign, as well as American society circles, writes Mir. E. G. Fowler that Rexall Mucu-Tone has overcome her prejudices against patent medicines.

Returning to New York last fall, I found myself still an in valid.
 My appetite failed. could not sleep, I had severe headaches and the result of any little shopping trip was always complete prostration. The doctors thought me suffering from nervous de- bility and malnutrition.

 City Mission Work.
 Among the most important work of the Society is what is known as the city mission work.
 There was a time when there were no slums in the South, but the i'm dustriaI changes within the last three decades have changed the condition of affairs. At the beginning of the war the South made only one-eighth of the cotton goods of the United States. Now the South makes one-half of all the cotton goods of the world. This has brought together small communities which have segregated throughout the States of North and South Carolina. Georgia and Alabama. Growth has been likewise phenomenal in furnace and foundry work. as well as mining operations. By the very nature Of these institutions this section has grown more and more in city popula- ton. This segregation of people means a multiplication of saloons. too often a lack of sanitary conditions. and the poorest sort of tenement system Not having compulsory education, a great many of these people go into the mills as small children, and have no chance for an education whatever.
 The woman's Home Mission Society of the Southern Methodist Church, re-. cognizing it's obligation to this class of people, has a system of city mission work, which is carried on by city mis- sion boards, composed of representa- lives from auxiliaries, and Methodist preachers in the community.
 Help for Poor Children.
 There are twenty-four of these city mission boards which carry on their work by forty trained workers. who are salaried, and 210 volunteers. who give their services. These women have eight settlement homes. two Deaconess Homes. seven day nurseries. seven kin dergartens, twenty industrial schools, where children of the settlement are taught sewing, and what they call kitchen gardening. seven night schools, where the boys and girls whose educa- tion has been cut short by the necessity of becoming bread winners, have chance to carry on to perfection some line of study. Then these boards have a system of boy clubs-newspoys and others that are gathered in off the streets at stated seasons. and by his- tory clubs. manual labor exercises, and other ganging processes which are so dear to the boy heart. are given a vis- inn of the higher ideals of life. Then the women and girls have clubs.
 Tn addition to this phase of social work. the Society has. in connection with its city enterprises. three diff ferent dispensaries. where physicians in different cities give certain hours to a clinic, and in that way they havs administered to large number of the suffering poor.
 As a result of this work enterprised bv the Southern Methodist women some of these settlement districts are being transformed, and men and women are coming forth stronger to resist evil, and readier to become good citizens.
 A number of these trained workers will be in attendance at the annual meeting of the Board in Montgomery. when a review of their work will be given, and many inspiring addresses will be made.

would have given him back his note. MT. Craig says that is the way such matters are done.'
 If you will have the money" said Mrs. Given, cant you take it in dribs and drabs, so I won't have to sell my You've a-plenty."
 But I do need 1t, Sister Given," re- piled Miss Janet. I'm going to give 1t to the missionary fund. Since I heard Brother Baggs preach so grand about them poor darkened sinners in the South Sea Islands, have been anxious to help the cause. heard you say at the church when Brother Baggs had finished his sermon that you'd like to give him a hundred dollars for the heather, Sister Given '
 Apparently Mrs. Givens enthusiasm over Brother BaEg's sermon had cool ed. for she made no reply.
 Tt will be a gloriflcation to us both, continued Miss Janet, "to know that this here money is being put to such a use and I'm sure you will feel as glad as I do that we have 1t to use that away"
 Them there heathen." remarked Mrs. Given slowly, "have no house rent to pay and no coal to buy"
 They have souls to save," put in Miss Janet.
 ITO think" said Mrs Given, as she recounted her interview to her daugh- ter and the boarder. Mrs Bond, that that rambler rose bush'll be out this spring better than ever. It'n cover the back porch and the house won't be ours"
 Him a member of the church of Hengland," said Mrs. Bond, viciously "and a good Christian. but 'opes them there 'eathen Il buy new hidols with that money Miss Downing gives 'em. ''
 Accordingly a bill was put in the window, offering the house for sale. and Mrs. Given, with a heavy heart be- gan to look around for cheap lodgings
 One day, when the first snow of win ter was falling. Mrs. Riggs, wife of the ship chandler, came ruShing into Mrs Given's kitchen.
 Hes savedl" she gasped Captain Downing and his mate are saved; pick ed up by a ship and carried to some outlandish place. He's in New York and will be home tonight"
 Thank God" calculated Mrs. Given Captain Bob'll give me some time to pay that there note"
 As the suspense was unbearable. Mrs. Given hastened around to Captain Downings house early the next day.
 Miss Janet, MT. Craig and the Cap tain were In the room. Mrs. Given without even congratulating the Cap tain on his rescue. put in her petition.
 Jack Given didn't owe any note." re- piled Captain Bob, he paid 1t long ago."
 Then" said Mir. Craig what was ii doing in your table drawer?"
 There's where it belonged" retort- ed Captain Bob. 'I never used any of them notes and when Jack borrowed the money he had some new fangled idee about giving this here note and then I tells Jack to keep 1t so he could tell he owed it. and when Jack pays 1t he tells me to keep 1t so could tell he had paid it. That's all business"
 Hum" coughed MT. Craig.
 And the poor heathen." whimpered Miss Janet.

JOHN GIvEN'S NOTE.

 Go.
 Mrs. Given stared hard at MT. Craig the lawyer
 .It'n take every cent I have in the world" she said, "T'll have to sell my house to pay this here note"
 You admit this is your husbands signature" retorted the lawyer, and he must have owed the money or he wouldn't have given the note. If it had been paid 1t would not have been In the possession of Captain Downing and. there's nc endorsement of any money having been paid on it. In com mon justice the note must be paid.
 Mrs. Given picked up the note and spelled it over.
 "On demand I promise to pay to Rob ert Downing, five hundred dollars (Signed John Given"
 I'm sure" she said, that If John had owed this here note he'd told me Of it."
 "Theres the note ma'am," said the lawyer, dri1y, I'm afraid you'll find 1t difficult to prove its payment"
 MT. Craig took his departure with an ominous shake of his head and Mrs. Civ en looked gloomily out of the window at the grey clouds that hovered over the town.
 Captains Downing and Given had been close friends. They had worked their way from before the mast to shippers, and then to being vessel own CTS in a small way. Captain Downing who had never married. had accumu- lated the more money for John Given was free handed and when he died left only the house he lived in to his wid- ow.
 Mrs. Given had met conditions brave ly She had formerly been dressmak- CT and now took up her calling. Her son was sailor and her daughter Ju- lia, had obtained position in mllll nery store. With Mrs. Bond as board CT. the aggregate income was enough to afford moderate comfort but with house rent to pay and no boarder, pros pects were gloomy. It was evident that the house would not bring more than enough to pay the note, If that much.
 The brig which Captain Downing commanded had been encountered at sea, and abandoned in a sinking condi- tion. The crew had probably taken to the boats and as nothing had been heard of them for the space of five months they were given up as lost.
 Captain Downing left no will, and his very comfortable property went to his sister, Miss Janet. The note of Captain Given had been found in the table drawer in which Captain Downing had kept his papers. As the two mariners had many joint transactions 1t seemed entirely plausible that the note had not been paid and that John Given had not been mindful of it when he died. Cap tain Downing had kept his business af- fairs in the crudest manner and there was no record of any transactions be- tween him and Captain Given.
 Miss Janet Downing was a lady or fifty austere and pious. She was de- voted church woman and extremely economical. Her neighbors denominated this trait, .stinginess. With full knowledge of Miss Janet's characteris- tics, Mrs. Given had called on her, with a vague hope that something migh' come of her visit
 'G'm sure that John would have told me about that there note if he had owed It." said Mrs. Given tearfully.
 But, Sister Given," replied Miss Ja- net, If he had paid it Brother Robert
