We want TO talk to people who are
nervous, who suffer frequent headaches,
who don't enjoy their food, who are
irritable, quickly lose their temper, are
SO tired aud worn out that they feel they
must give up. and have become 30 de-

matter with peoplein this condition, aud
II they will follow our advice, We can tell
them how to regain good health and
that bouyancy OF feeling which makes life
seem all sunshine aud happiness.
Most OF the above described conditions
ore chiefly caused by catarrhal inhsmma-
ton OF the mucous membranes. This dell
cate web-Iike lining Of the body becomes
lbh ahmed and congested until weakness
and mental depression follow. The only
way that this can be overcome Il
through treatment Of the blood. We

We want you to try Rexall Mucu.Tone,
which Is a powerful nutTitlve tonic and

and restores their natural and healthy

Rexall Mucu-Tone drives out all the

Washington. Dec. 10.-A complete
reversal of the financial condit On OF
the government for the fiscal year Of
1908. as compared with the tiscal yeaI
of 1907. is shown by the annull re
port OF Secretary Cortelyou. q tho
treasury. which was transmitted &c
congress.
For the latter year the receipts were
$S4. .236.5S6 in excess OF the disDurse
ments. For the fiscal year 1903 the
disbursements were s5S.O70.20l in ex
cess of the receipts. due to business
depression and increased appropria
tions
Fortunately the report say. the
available cash balance at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year was s272,O6l'
445.
Basing his figures on the estinate'
Of appropriations already submitted
the secretary is OF the opinion that
the excess OF expenditures over re
ceipts for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1910. may reach sl4S.046,796.
The secretary estimates the deficit
for the present fiscal year as $4,000.
900.
The aggregate of trust funds. con
sisting OF gold coin and standard sill

they were respectively pledged In

1908. the money in circulation amount
ed to s3,03S015,4sS. or a per capita OF
s34.72. The percentage OF gold 10 cir
culatlon was 1856. There was an In
crease of s94.545.227 in the volume oI
national bank notes during the 1scal
year closed July last.
The amount OF interest-bearing debt
on June 30, 1907. is shown to have
been 1894, ,9O2 76O. and on June 80. 1908
sS97. .5O3, $50.
Mr.. Cortelyou refers TO the fact that
the treasury was called upon In the
latter part OF last October to render
assistance In a financial panic which
started in New York city and which
gradually extended over the entire
country. Through treasury operations
during that financial disturbance the
amount Of public deposits with the
banks reached s2S6.54s,S21 on Nov. 30,
1907. and on Dec. 27, 1907, the maxi
mum of s259.994.271 was attained. az
ter which it was decreased to $685.
920,154 by the close OF the month.
Further Withdrawals decreased this
amount to sl1S.S7s5S6 on Nov. l6,
1908.
The receipts from internal revenue
taxes for the fiscal year 1908 were
s251.711,126. a net decrease from 1907

for the same period amounted TO 1885,

CASTRO TO

Object Of Visit to Europe is to

WILL LAND At BORDEAUX

Says He Is Going to France With His
Hand Outstretched For Psace-Ce-
cIares He Also Expects to Settle
Asphal, Dispute With the United
s.ates--eOins to Berlin Regarding
Operation For a Tumor.
Santander, Spain, Dec 10. - The
French steamer Guadeloupe. having
on board President Castro. OF Vene
zuela. came in here President Castro
will continue on the steamer 70 Bor-
deaux, and from there will travel over
land TO Berlin.
The mystery Of Castro's trip to Eu-
rope was dispelled soon after the
Guadeloupe dropped anchor. Reports
that he is critically i'll. that he had left
Venezuela forever. etc. were pro
uounced absurd. and 1t was declared
that he came to Europe with the dou
BILE purpose Of being examined by Eu-
ropean specialists and TO settle Vene-
zuelas outstanding differences with
foreign powers.
Confident Of Settling Troubles.
AS Castro is his own minister OF for
eign affairs. he is confident OF being
able to conduct negotiations to sue
cessful conclusion. and he believes
that he will return to Caracas in Feb
ruary with Venezuela at peace VITA
the world.
President Castro was found In his
cabin shaving. and he laughed heartily
at the rumors regarding his purposes
and plans.
Castro desires to consult European
specialists regarding an operation. He
has been suffering for some years with
a disease that is understood TO be
tumor OF the kidneys.
Castro paid no heed TO warnings OF
Venezuelan consuls who talked with
him on the Guadeloupe that he migat
not be permitted to land In France.
These consuls feared that the presi'
dent might be humiliated il he contin'
ued TO Bordeaux.
But Castro brushed these warnings
aside and announced that he had start
ed for Bordeaux, and that was where
he was going.
He is firm in the belief that he runs
no risk. and says the fact that he is
going to France with his hand stretch
ed out in peace has preceded him.
Before he left Venezuela he made
the lrst advance by authorizing the
return OF several Frenchmen. exiled
for political reasons, and during the
voyage over he talked with NJ. Mer
leou. French minister to Peru, fellow
passenger.
Ready to Make Concessions.
He explained his intentions to NJ.
Merleou and showed him documents
which Castro believes will change the
French governments attitude toward
him.
He declared to NJ. Merleou that he
was ready to make important conces-
sions to restore amicable relations
with France.
NJ. Merleou assured Castro that
France would be gratified to learn OF
his conciliatory disposition and guar
anteed that he would suffer no dis
agreeable incident at Bordeaux. From
Santander NJ Merleou Informed sAe
French government fully Of the situa-
tion.
The Venezuelan president said also
be expected to arrange the difficulties
of his government with the United
States, including the asphalt affair.
