SiIenced the Critics

There were some doubts in the community
as to Homer Floyd fitness for position on
the school board. owing to certain lapses in
his early education; but his first speech in
his official capacity siIencei the tongues of
all critics. He listened to several Rotations
with a grave and interested air, and at the
end of the last one he rose to address the
school. by request
Some things are in my province as mem
Der of the school board, and some are not, y
he said with genial smile.
Its within my prOvinCeto say that never
heard scholars answer up more promptly
than YOU children of District No. 3.
"As to whether your answers were or were
not correct, it is not my place to say. Your
teacher knows, and in her hands leave the
matter. '-Youth's Companion.
Which is all candid and right for Mr..
Floyd, but suppose the teacher, prefer
ably the principal, rises and dIsclaims
competency to supervise, for instance,
language studies in the department of
grammar:
What then?

Paving Taxes.

Aud Frank has far better success than
the collectors whose office is all out

a race-track. Frostburg should adopt
the same respectable methods, so that
all roads would lead to the collector 5

Must Paw in Person,

The Supreme Court of Appeals of Nir-
ginia, sitting in Wytheville, that State,
on the 18th inst, decided that a man
must pay his poll tax !" person, or he
cannot vote.
The Richmond (Va.) NewS says
The case was that of Tazewell against
treasurer Hartman, of Norfolk.
Treasurer Hartman refused to allow Mr..
Tazewell to pay his taxes by messenger,
and the suit was brought
The case was decided against Tazewell IN
a Norfolk court, but he appealed it to the
Court of Appeals.
The decision is of tremendous importance
throughout this State
In Frostburg Mr. Hartman would have
had to ego after" Mr.. Tazewell for any
sort of tax.
At the same time, the man who enjoys
his own time and way of paying is com
PEELED to go to the registrars office to
see that he secures his right to vote.
That is, he must be run after" for
his share of the cost of government, but
he must go after his right to a voice
in that government.
But suppose government were the
"artful dodger" in the case, and he had
to chase the registrar all over town all
the year for his right to vote!

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
clnes. Our business depends on
pleased cust0mers-in' fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
tul OF what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu-Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time Of the year. Mucu-Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
nlnety-eight per cent. of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited

from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrl1-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh IS not confined to tie nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting OF tissues, as in the case
OF little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
My little girl had catarrh SO
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuff3 and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief | saw the adver-
tlsements Of Rexall Mucu-Tone,
but could not believe that any,
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose. However, ! took advan-
tagc. of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. | w.fiti
to say right here thai Mucu-Tone
is certainly The greatest medical
discovery of the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely.
