Broad Distinction Drawn.

Referring to the allegation that Mahom-
edanism was favored In the government
schools in German East Africa and that
Mahomedans were selected in preference
to native Christians for subordinate posts
in the administration. he drew a broad
distinction between the advantageous cul-
tivation of friendly relations with Mahom-
edan foreign powers and the attitude of
the German government toward its own
Mahomedan subjects. In the one case Ger
man policy was dictated by the necessities
of the general international situation. in
the other II was the duty of the govern
ment to promote the dissemination of Chris
tlaniiy among the natives of the Gerrna
colonies. This could only be done gradually
and by accustoming the natives to a Chris
tian atmosphere before attempting to teach
them Christian doctrines IN the govern

At the suggestion or this organization the
Washington Architectural Club has an
nounced competition for design for
refuge station-an Else of safety" as 1t is
commonly called, which shall consist of a
pole to carry an arc light and small
section of pavement to provide pedestrians
crossing a crowded thoroughfare a mo-
mentary place of security. Any one may
submit designs, and first and second prize
OF $40 and IS respectively are offered for the
best two received. 1t Is expected that the
designs handed In will be submitted to the
District Commissioners, who have promised
to consider them in connection with street
work In this city. and should any be
adopted for use full credit will be given the
designer. Washington does not yet seem

Of the Hotel de Vile. Brewster's en-
thusiasm was such that no one could
resist helping him, and for nearly a
week his friends were occupied In SUI
perlntending the erection of triumphal
arches and encouraging the shopkeep-
ers to do their best. Although the
scheme had been conceived in the spir-
1t of lark, 1t was not so received by
the townspeople. They were quite Sc
rious in the matter. The railroad Of
ficials sent advertisements broadcast,
and the local cure called to thank
Brewster for resurrecting, as it were,
the obscure saint. The expression of
his gratitude was so mingled with fiat
terry and appeal that Monty could not
overlook the hint that new altar piece
had long been needed.

yacht required thorough house

guests to the hotel of fascinating
village which was near the sea and
yet quite out of the world. The place
was nearly empty at the time, and the
proprietor wept tears of joy when
Monty engaged for his party the en-
tire first floor of the house, with bal
comics overlooking the blue Medter-
ranean and a separate dining room
and salon. Extra servants We're sum-

soon a familiar sight about the village.

were only silenced when Monty threat

The town quickly took on the APP
pearance of entertaining a royal Wis
itor, and a number of shops were kept
open longer than usual in the hope that
their owners might catch some of the
Americans money. One morning Phi
lippe, the hotel proprietor, was trying
to impress Brewster with a gestcula-
tory description of the glories of the
bataille de feurs. 1t seemed quite
impossible to express the extent of his
regret that the party had not arrived
in time to see it.
This is quite another place at that

"Why not have another all to our

ton was not taken seriously.

result was announced at luncheon

City Engineer Spengler, of Chicago, Is
one of the foremost men of his profession in
this country. The plans for some of the
greatest municipal works in the last few
years have originated in his brain, and
have been carried out under his technical
direction. He is a man of commanding
authority in his profession.

This is the testimony of hundreds.
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through tho
blood. 1t drives out the poisonous
matter with which the muco-cells are
congested, allays the inflammation and
builds up the body. 1t makes sick
people well; weak people, strong.
Remember that catarrh is not merely
disease of the head and throat, but that it
may affect any or all of the organs of the
body. Remember. too, that Rexall Mucu-

GREAT WORK
OF MUCU-T0E
Now Rexaii Catarrh Cure Won Our
Endorsement Strictly On 1ts Merits

When we first heard of Rexall Mucu-
Tone we we're not particularly interested
in it. We knew every Rexall remedy
was made of the best materials and by
experienced chemists and pharmacists,
and we were satisfied that when the
Rexall Company produced a catarrh
cure it would be thoroughly meritorious.
But we were not at all "excited" about it.
When we saw the formula it struck us
as something new and very good, so that
when some of the first bottles Of
Mucu-Tone arrived we unhesitatingly
recommended it to several chronic suffer-
ers from catarrh-customer of ours.
Within few weeks the reports began
to come in and as we heard of the prompt
cure of case after case that had stubborn
ly resisted every other medicine and
treatment, our interest grew until now
we are honestly and earnestly enthusiast
tic about this splendid remedy.
Mucu-Tone is the cure for catarrh and
