bouts in this city, is out with a chal-
lenge to meet Buck Wilson at 135 pounds
for a side bet of SIPS in a preliminary
TO the big match between Shad Link
and Mike Curtney at Concordia Hall
next Friday.
Turner is one OF the most active
claimants to the lightweight champion
ship OF the District. and has had con-
siderable success but some hard luck
In his matches. He has been A little
too heavy for most OF the iightWeights
hereabouts. but IN going higher up the
scale he had to meet Harvey Tyrreil.
who is too big and strong for him. In
Wilson he thinks he has the right man
to get a fair chance tosshow his ability.
The man who is TO meet Link on FRI
day. by the Way, says mis- name is
spelled Curtney. and not Curlander, as
was first announced. He waxed Wroth
with the Baitimoreans who gave the
wrong twist to his handle, saying they
wanted TO get him in bad by creating
the impression that he was a man who
tried 10 astonish the world in Brooklyn
last year and did not get away with
the job.

PROHIBITS PUBLICATION
OF PRIZE WINNERS NAMES
Post0fice Will Exclude Newspapers
Carrying Results of Whist OF Euchre
Contests When Fee Is Paid.

According to a recent ruling OF the
Postoffice Department. the publication
OF the names Of prize winners at whist
or eEchre parties. where admission is
charged or a fee exacted for the privi-
lege OF playing, is forbidden. and news
papers giving this information are like
" to be excluded from the mails.
This ruling, however, does not affect
the publication Of the names of prize
winners where the function is purely
a social affair, and the premiums do
mated gratis by the host or hostess.
The Postoff1ce Department holds that
cases of this kind do not come within
the puryiew Of the law as to rafies,
lotteries. and other gambling devices.
Should the ruling be interpreted to
the letter IL viii exclude all newspapers
giving accounts of raffles at church
fairs and the afternoon euchres OF the
ladies' auxiliaries. A report became cir
cuiated that the new ruling would af-
feet all card parties where the playing
was for prizes. This was emphaticsliy
denied at the Office of the First As
sistant Attorney General for the Post
office Department. but the statement
given out that a serious objection was
made by the officials OF the department
to the publication OF prize winners
where an admission fee was charged.

No one Rexall remedy is "cure-
all" 1t is not necessary for us to
invent diseases and symptoms and
then endeavor to convince you that
one Rexall remedy will cure you Of
every ailrnent in the world. To our
minds that has been one of the
fundamental errors of patent medi-
cine manufacturers, and that has
been corrected by the Rexall people
One remedy for each i'll, and that
remedy the unquestioned best in the
world, is the principle upon which
Rexall success is founded.
We are proud of our connection
with Rexall. We are proud to be
able to offer to the people of this
community, line of remedies that
we can back up with every bit of
reputation we have earned by
square dealing and honest, con-
scientious treatment of our trade.
Our confidence in Rexall is shown
by the fact that we absolutely guar
antee every Rexall remedy we sell.
This is not an empty phrase with us,
we mean just what we say. If you
buy Rexall remedy and are not
entirely satisfied with it, all you
need to do is to bring the empty
bottle or package back to us and
say Il was not satisfied, please give
me my money" and we will return
the money to you instantly and
cheerfully.
We feel that you are comforting
an obligation upon us when you do
this. We want to know every case
that the Rexall remedies fail to cure.
We want you to get your money
back if the remedy has not done the
work you expected it to do.
Can any principle of business be
fairer than this? Is it not thor
oughly in accord with President
Roosevelt's doctrine of the square
deal for every man?
From time to time in newspaper
announcements, we shall say vari-
GUS things about various Rexall
remedies. We want the people to
understand thoroughly what the
word Rexall means to every family
in this entire community. If the
real facts about Rexall were appre-
ciated to-day, no other patent medi-
cines would need to be offered to
the people.

The use Of my name in the connection
to which you refer as a candidate Tor the

has never been authorized nor encouraged
by me and | only await what believe TO
be the proper time to make known my
position to all my friends.

torily redeem the promises made by my
friends in my behalf, and by myself pre-
vious TO my election. | realize 1t is not
possible to meet all expectations, but 1t
has been my earnest desire throughout
NV official course to be influenced by
considerations of the best good to the
state, its institutions and its interests.
If the course which have pursued and
which l shall continue to follow meets
the approval of my party and the people
generally, shall be pleased and proud to
accept from their hands the renewal OF
the honor and the obligations which go
with it.
The last legislature made it possible for
members of the several parties OF our state
to select by direct vote the candidates for
the Office which now hold. Itwould be
an added honor and pleasure to be the
first candidate of the Republican party
for governor of Michigan upon whom
this favor direct from the entire body OF
our partys membership should come.
