If you are one to get caught, along
with lot of others, with big crop
and no market for it one year, it is no
sign that it will always be that way,
but it will be natural for you to feel
that way. Perseverance will win, and
the next year you may make a great
hit by trying the same crop again, be-
cause every one else will be sure to try
some other. Then yours will be in de-

Whether you have few or many
trees in your young orchard, it is a
good plan to take sharp hoe some
time before the ground freezes solid
and remove all grass and weeds away
from the trunks of the trees. If rub
bish is left it is likely to become a
nesting place for field mice, which are
likely to girdle the tree before spring
comes.

place to deposit rubbish, for we could
hardly call the contents Of many store
rooms anything else. This habit Of ac-
cumulating and saving from year to

need for and we see no immediate fu-
ture use for grows with us, and our
only relief is a fire, flood, cyclone or to
move out-usually the latter. A store

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
full of what We guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall MucuTone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time of the year. Mucu-Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent. of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-Tone
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
OF little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
my little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuffs and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Mucu-Tone,
but | could not believe that any,
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes Of the
nose. However, | took . IVAN
tage of your free trial c. : and
my girl began taking you. -o,neLy
according to directions. | want
to say right here thct ~ Tore
is certainly the greatest r lical
discovery of the tins ;.~. to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced re to r:'-c it a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan ST.,
Albany, N. Y"
We are selling large trial bot
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
of your money back if you are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesh on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.
