 "The ghost, herr, is only to be seen by children. They describe it as wo- man raking leaves. When she looks up at them they see only a skull instead of face. She may be raking over there now. Yet we cannot see her"
 Annette, who was with me, looked at me with a frightened expression. We were in the valley of Chamonix sur rounded by snowy peaks among which Mont Blanc rose highest. Hear ing of the legend, I had engaged guide to conduct us to the spot the ghost was said to inhabit.
 Your children hereabout," said to the guide, "are doubtless under the in fluence of the story. Imagination paints the image on the retina of the child'S eye"
 The guide shook his head negatively. If herr will bring a child here who ] know better"
 That is a proposition which meets my concurrence. An American family arrived at the hotel this morning, among them little girl of seven. What do you say, Annette? Shall we i make the test with her?'
 Annette winced She placed the tips olA protection.

THE CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds.

Ii people would only fortify and
strengthen their system, about 989S of
coughs, colds and pneumonis might be
avoided. These troubles are simply the
result of weakness, which produces a
catarrhal condition of the mucous men,
brane, which is an internal skin of the
body. When this skin is weakened, it
becomes infected with germs which are
carried throughItbe system By the blood.
These parasites attack and break these
delicate tissues and set up a soreness
which produce what is in reality an ex-
ternal soreness.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed land car
ried by the blood so shat the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned,
soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honestly
believe infallible and unsurpassabIe for
the prevention and cure of coughs, colds
and all catarrhal conditions. 1t is the
prescription of famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation of 80 years of
cures gained through the use of this
medicine. We promise to either effect
cure in every case or make no charge
for the medicine. We urge everybody
in Marietta 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 own personal guarantee to this
remedy if we we're not absolutely posi-
tive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it We have
two sizes Of Rexall Mucu-Tone. Prices
SOC. and $1.00. Sometimes SOC. bottle
is sufficient for a. cure. As general
thing, the most chronic case is cured
with an average of three large bottles.
Remember, the medicine will cost you
nothing, if you are not satisfied in every
