catarrh.-
A Guaranteed Cure

One thousand retail druggists
who are the leaders of the drug
trade of the United States, and
that means the world, rated by
Bradstreet's and Dun's at twenty
million dollars and whose retail
business aggregates over seventy
million dollars annual sales, have
agreed to give their name, fnan-
cial backing and endorsement to
the guarantee that Rexall Mrcu-
Tone will cure any disease or
trouble arising from catarrh or
they will refund tie money. We
are proud of our connection with
the ReXall Remedies, particularly
SO of Mucu- Tone, because a REM
edy must be something out of the
ordinary to get our backing. 1t
is not all profit that leads us and
our one thousand associates into
endorsing this remedy; it is our
years of experience with medi-
cines and Our knowledge of them
that makes us believe that Rexall
Mucu-T Tone is bona-hde discov-
cry for the cure of all ailments
due to catarrhal affection. We
know that it is not cure at all,
but remedy built on scientific
lines and not a patent medicine as
each one of the one thousand
druggists knows its formula and
its value. 1t has one great addi-
tional value besides curing consti-
tutional catarrh-that it is a sys-
tenn builder. No such tonic was
ever before designed for the cur
ing of inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane-nor can it be
improved on i'll the present age.
Just stop and reason with your
self for one minute. We are do
ing business right here in your
midst. Could we afford to offer
Our name and endorsement to
Mucu-Tone as we do if we did
not know that it was an honest
medicine? Could we afford to
agree as we do that we will re-
fund every penny paid us for the
medicine If it does not benefit.
All we ask is the customers
word and the empty bottle and
we hand the money back. No
signed certificate. We believe the
public, especially the sick, are
honest, certainly every sick per-
son who suffers from any of the
following ailments should take adj
vantage of our offer to-day. Rex
all Mucu-Tone cures catarrh of
the nose, throat, stomach, intes-
tines, liver, kidneys or bladder,
and any who are convalescing
from sickness of any kind should
take advantage of our offer and
purchase what we recommend as
the best tonic ever sold in drug
store. We have a large trial size
at fifty cents and we guarantee it
or refund your money.

CHINESE IN COURT
Charged With Taking $50 From
 a Countryman.

Chung Nav and Chung Kew invit- ed their. fellow countryman Willie Buck to a tea and opium shindig Sunday and Buck attended, calculat- ing upon having very good time. They were to have hot louis and cold pipes and some one was to tell Bucks fortune. The party was to take place at Nav and Rows laundry 264 North Main street. The letter of invitation was a yard long, written in Chinese, but that did not scare Buck. He looked over his cash account before starting and decided to take a fifty with him, and with this tucked in his inner silk blouse off he started.
 Row and Nav greeted him with smiles, cleavers and pistols. They were standing at the end of their counter when he entered and he thought the cleavers and pistols were part of new Chinese joke. But he was soon undeceived. Row and Nav demanded from him $50 on the spot or they would not only cut off his pig tail, which would be an everlast. ing disgrace, but they would cut out his heart.
 An employe of the laundry got scared and ran away and has not re- turned much as the police need him Buck. saw there was nothing for hin to do but hand over his fifty and ovei it went to Row. And that was the end of the tea and opium party fol the time. They did not even tel Bucks fortune. -..

TO be more or leess characteristic of
soils in the seacoast regions. Follow.
ing are the results of the analysis:
The sample sent in by J.J., OF
Kldset1eld, Clark county, is lacking in
available potash and lime. The most
beneficial treatment for this condition
OF affairs is from 500 to 1000 pounds
per acre of slaked lime, and 1000 to
1000 pounds per acre of sulphate of
potash, both applied broadcast in the
spring after the ground has been we'll
ploe'd The applications should be har-
rowed in we'll. There is no question
but that the soil in the region Of Ridge.
field needs this sort of treatment.
The sample sent in by F. W., taken
from the White river valley between
Seattle and Tacoma contains surpris-
ingly large amount of lime for West
Side soil. However it is very low in
potash, and not well supplied with
phosphoric acid. Potash fertilizers
would therefore be likely to give the
best results of any single fertilizer in
gradient. ! have advised Mr.. W.. to
try about 100 pounds per acre Of sui
phate OF potash, and about 200 pounds
per acre of bone meal, applied to the
soil early in the spring and we'll work.
ed in before the crop is planted.
The sample sent in by w. H. W., of
Little Falls, Lewis county, is well sup
piled with nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and humus, and fairly we'll with pot
ash; but is very low in lime. | have
advised that 800 pounds per acre of
slaked lime be applied after the ground
is plowed. 1t should be we'll narrowed
in. This is all the treatment that the
soil of Lewis county needs, SO far as we
are able to tell by chemical analysis.
From Raymond, Pacific county, F. B.
s. sends in sample of red clay soil
which we find to contain a percentage
of lime only about one-twentieth as
great as it should be fer the best results.
The supply of potash is also very low.
l have no doubt that the heaviest ap-
plication of Stacked lime which Mr.. S.
can make will give very beneficial re-
suits on this type of soil, although some
OF the Pacific county farmers have tried
using lime on the upland soil without
very beneficial results. For this soil
we have recommended about 100
pounds per acre of sulphate of potash.
A. A., of Rosburg, Wahkiakum
county, has sent us sample Of soil
which we find to be low in lime and
potash. The other ingredients are
present in fairly good supply. 1t is
probable that the dicffiulty which has
been experienced with this soil is due
chiefly to lack of lime, and perhaps
potash also. We have advised the use
of from 500 to 1000 pounds per acre Of
slaked lime and the use on a small
scale, of about 100 pounds per acre OF
sulphate CT potash.
A sample of Kitsap county subsoil
has been sent in by G. S. NJ, OF Seat
tie, which we find to be very gravely
deficient in potash. 1t probably would
not produce crops OF any kind, without
fertilizers of potash. The other ingre-
dents are present in fairly good supply,
and so far as we can tell by chemical
analysis, need not be reinforced with
fertilizers.

AS A LITTLE CHILD.

As a little child they are leading him.
For his hair Is white and his ewes ar
dim;
As a little child he Is whispering low
To the phantom friends of long ago.
As little child he is wandering back
In fancy over the golden track:
In the years that were and the days tha
fed
he Is dreaming the dream of the dream
less dead
As little child they must humor him.
when the hair Is white and the eyes are
dim.
Ah, do not jeer at his peevish ways
That try ones patience through dreary
days
He's living over the life he knew
In boyhood's valley Of gold and blue;
As little child on mothers breast.
His heart is weary he wants to rest
As little child he must have his way,
In this thought Of youth and his dream
of play;
He has forgotten his time and place
And lives in the Joy of an olden grace:
AS. little child In the childheart spell
He hears the chime of the fairy bell.
And thinks he is young as boy again
In the rosy weather and country lane!
As a little child with his hand In theirs,
They lead him forth as his fancy fares !;
His hair Is white and his form is bent,
And his voice is soft as a sacrament
When he calls the names that are on the
tomb
AS If they were sweet in the living
bloom;
He has forgotten, he does not know
He isn't child in the long ago!
Second childhood they call it Yea!
Old heart grows young in the dream of
play, .. 9.. .s ,s
Feeble footstep and palsied hand
Are lost In the vision of childhood land
he hardly sees and he seldom hears,
But ever the voices of vanished years
Are singing sweet as they sang Of old
In the gates Of youth and the fields Of
gold t-.
