THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Pre-
vention of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly for
tifS and strengthen their system,
about 80 per cent of coughs, colds and
pneumonia might be avoided. These
troubles are simply the result of
weakness, which produces eatarrh-
al condition of the mucous membrane,
which is as all internal skin of the
body. When this skin is weakened, it
becomes infected with germs which
are carried through the system by the
blood These parasites attack and
break these delicate tissues and set up
a soreness which produce what is i'll
reality an external scrofnla.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is 9
medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected, clean
ed soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we nom
estly believe invaluable and unsurpass -
able for the prevention and cure of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi-
tions. 1t is the prescription of ia
nous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of 30 years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect a cure in
every case or make no charge for the
medicine. We urge everybody in
Skowhegan who has need of such a
medicine to try Rexall Mucu Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our personal guarantee to
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hest
tate to accept our offer and try it.
We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu
Tone. Prices soc and $1.00 Some
times soc bottle is sufficient for a
cure. As a general thing, the most
chronic ease is cured with an average
of three large bottles. Remember,
the medicine will cost you nothing if
you are not satisfied in every particu-
lar. Frank w. Buchanan, Skowhegan

LIABILITY LAW UNCONSTITU-
TIONAI.

The federal employees liability
law which was enacted June Il.
1906, has been declared unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court of the
United States. the court standing
five to four against the law
The law in question makes rail-
roads and other common carriers re-
sponsible to employees in accidents
due to the negligence of fellow SER
wants or to ineffective appliances.
The decision Of the lower court was
affirmed.
The employees liability act was one
OF President Roosevelts hobbies, and
since its enactment he has made sew
eral utterances UNFOLDING its consti-
tutionality, and this decision must
be taken as a blow to the president.
The justices differ widely upon
the ground on which the result Of
the verdict is reached, but the prin-
ciple ground for unconstitutionality
Is that the law is not confined O the
regulation of the business Of inter-
state carriers, but undertakes to
regulate their dealings with their
employees.
Justices Moody and Holmes. who
are appointees Of President Roose-
welt, expressed the opinion that con-
gress had the general power to pass
the act and the courts position was
an interference with the domain of
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent.
Justices Harlan and McKenna
united in an opinion affirming the
constitu,ionality OF the act. but
holding it to be- applicable only 10
employees engaged az the time in in
terstate commerce. and not TO those
engaged wholly in the state I'm which
the accident happened
But the decision does not prohibit
the several states from passing an
employees liability act. and 81 ifs be-
lieved that this power should be
vested in the states instead OF the
federal government. inasmuch as the
interstate commerce clause of the
constitution is hardly intended to
regulate the relations between mas.
ter and servant.

Gold Stealing in Australia.

There have recently been unpleas.
ant revelations as to the extent to
which the stealing of gold by the min.
ers is carried on in Australia. Some
authorities estimate that as much as
$5,OO0O00 worth of gold is lost every
year by the Australian mining com.
panies in this way. Most OF the min.
ing centers are haunted by a shady
class of nominal gold buyers" who
are really the accomplices of the dis.

inal slang. Representatives OF the
mining companies in Bendigo, where
record number of cases OF gold
stealing have recently occurred, have
met in conference TO consider the best
means OF dealing with the evil. As
one way Of checking the evil It was
decided to establish register OF all
the miners employed in the Bendigo
district 80 that the movements and
migrations OF dismissed or reasonably
suspected men might be traced and
observed In this way II Is hoped TO
prevent the thieves getting employ.
