rent. The court ruled that the action
would have to be brought by each
stakeholder individually, and so test

the plaintiff. The action was based on
the claims OF the farmers that when

Burlington Man Cures Himself
Of the Drink Habit in Novel
Manner
BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE
Cots Away from Old Companions and
Environments and Digs in the Soil
on Farm Works Appetite for
Drink Out of His System and Builds
UP General Health.
.spccla, to Times Republican.

Burlington. Nov. GA Burlington
man has discovered something tha.
beats the Kelley cure. He is very mod
est about the matter. does not wish to
dispose of his secret, is not trying to
make any money out of it, and does not
want his name published. A year or
I! two ago he had fallen into convivial
habits. His friends began shaking their
heads, and it was generally conceded
neglected his business and his affairs
became badly tangled. He did not seem
to care. and to give no heed to the
warnings and the good advice of his
friends. But he was doing some tall
thinking now and then. One day, he
simply pulled out of the town. Dropped
out of sight. as it were. And his friends
wondered what had become of him.
Months passed and few got glimpse Of
him. OF late he has been coming to
town frequently. and he looks like q
better than he looks. He said to a
friend: II began to realize that some
thing had to be done, and l soon made
up my mind. went out into the coun-
try, where l have small farm, and l
went to work with a will. 1t was pretty
hard at first, but / stuck to 1t, and by
and by it became easier. l took pleas
ure in my work and in seeing things
grow. l began to sleep we'll, and my
appetite became normal and even
something better, and in the sunshine
and near the soil / worked all the stuff
out of myself, and there lost my lik-
ing or rather my longing for 1t. The
secret is simply hard work in the open
air and getting really interested in your
work In very short time you be-
gin TOT feel like new man. Your
muscles grow firm and you actually en-
JOY hard physical labor. do not know
that the remedy will help in all cases,
or that it will help any other man. But
know what it has done for me, and
should like to see others try it and get
the same results that obtained"

4 FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST
Gives Advice to Women Lacking In
Energy nde-vitaIity.

Gives Advice to Women Lacking In
Energy ande-vitality.
Thousands Of women are using toilet
preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their thick,
muddy compilations or to Danish the
pfmples blackheads and crow's-feet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood, and bad blood in 80 per cent of
the cases arises from Inflammation OF
the mucous membrane. Their blood is
filled with poison which is certain to
break out in unsightly humors and
blotches-whiIe pale, drawn faces deep
circled eyes STOPPING shoulders and
weak backs complete the story Of suf-
fering and despair.
Inflammation Of the mucous mem
brane is catarrh. Danish catarrh and
compilations will clear as if by magic,
pain vanish, eyes will brighten. faces
become plump and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained thru Rexall Mucu-
Tone, the one positive and permanent
cure for catarlh.
Mime. Swift. A w. 26th ST.. New
York City, the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an accepted
authority on all relating thereto, has
this to say Of Mucu-Tone.
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
are remarkable. 1t builds up the
strength and restores vitality. II
women who are tired and run down,
lacking In energy and vitality, will use
Mucu-Tone, they will praise 1t as i do
for its Strengthening and healing quail
1ties."
Rexall Mucu-Tone works thru the
blood, and acting directly upon the
muco- cells-the congestion and inf1am-
nation of which are the sole cause OF
catarrh-causes them to. expel the pol
son and to resume their natural func-
lions. Thus the membranes are cleansed
the blood purified, and revitalized.
we know that RexAll Mucu-Tone will
cure every form Of catarrh, no matter
where located, Of how long standing, or
by what other NAMES it is known. We
guarantee to refund your money II you
are not satisfied with the vigorous
health and clear complexion 1t brings
you.
