CAUSES DEBILITY
Here are Facts Backed up by Strong
Guarantee.

Debility is caused by catarrh In
our opinion, a person free from Catarrh
was never troubled with Debility. De-
bility can never be cured by medicine
not designed to cure Catarrh. We
positively guarantee to cure Catarrh,
and thus cure Debility. In every case
where we fail to effect cure, we will
not charge cent for the medicine en-
ployed during the trial. Now, surely
no one should hesitate to believe us or
to put our claim to a practical test
under such conditions. We take all
the risk; no one else can lose anything
by the transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that Rexall Mucu-
Tone will cure Catarrh. 1t is designed
for that one particular purpose. 1t is
not cure all prescribed to cure every
disease that flesh is heir to. 1t is
specific. Rexall Mucu-Tone is absorb
ed in the stomach and carried by the
blood until it penetrates every part of
the body, acting as an antiseptic, disin-
fecting, cleansing, soothing aad heal
ing agent. 1t rids the system of al
germ and poisonous matter, purifies
and enrichec the blood, rebuilds ipjur-
ed tissues, cleanses and invigorates the
muco-cells, neutralizes the acids of the
body, stops mucus discharge, tones up
the entire system, promotes nutrition,
increases body weight, and brings
about feeling of healthfulness that is
lasting.
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sices. Prices SOC and $1.OO. We urge

LOUISE.
Those "Jollities. 3"

Last Thursday evening being April
1st and the anniversary of Miss Winnie
Cards birth, the "Jollities" took it up
on themselves to give her and also
Miss Emma Welsh, whose birthday
occurred the previous Sunday, an April
Fool Surprise. The party took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. B.
Metz. The girls were presented with
gifts from the bunch and then began
the fun. The following poem COM
posed by one of the members was read:
April comes but once year,
And when it comes it brings good cheer
There's robin on the fence
April Fool
Lots of jokes and lots of rules,
Don't get mad if you get fooled;
Oh there horse stuck in the mud
April Fool.
There's lots of surprises on that day,
And lots of fun so they say
Why there's a spider your dress
April Fool.
! That April Fool came on this day,
She was great surprise, they say
Oh, my! there's mouse upon your lap
April Fool.
There's a crowd, just hear them roar
Some one will knock at your door;
Go tell mother she is wanted
April Fool.
After an evening devoted to games
and music, light refreshments were
served. Will Welsh proceeded to take
some fiash-light pictures of the crowd,
| but the shutter failed to work and thew
were failure. All had very enioy-
| able evening

The dish should be served promptly

pork, mutton can be employed, while
chicken liver and gizzard can be re-
placed by those of turkey. Some Chi

sweeter. The effect can be initiated by
adding a teaspoonful of Worcester
shire sauce and another of brown sugar
or a teaspoonful of molasses. An
agreeable modification results from the
use of asparagus tips along with the
other vegetable ingredients. while the

THE CADILLAC CAR
AND EWhR TROPHY

The Dewar Trophy was recently
presented for the first time to an Amer,
lean Automobile company when the
Royal Automobile Club of England ad-
judged it fairly won by the Cadillac
Company of Detroit.
The award was based upon the re-
markable standardization test under
gone by three Cadillac ears, which were
taken apart, piece by piece, the parts
being thrown into a heap and new parts
added to the tangled pile, and were
then put together again and run at rae.
ing speed around large track without
the slightest trouble or loosening of
any part.
During the entire operation, a spe-
cial committee from the Royal Auto
mobile Club maintained strict watch,
and it is their opinion that the per-
Torrance is the most remarkable one
ever given to demonstrate the standard
ization Of car. This splendid feat
has clearly proved the superiority Of
the methods Of American car manufac-
turers.

WHEN MEN DID FANCY WORK.

During the old regime in France,
to us, the very men who were living
and making the history of the empire
of Louis, passed their leisure time in a
way that seems to us of today utterly
ridiculous. In all the fancy work on
which ladies employed themselves, the
men seem to have taken part, says APP
pleton s Magazine.
Poinsinet, in one of his comedies,
represents young marquis entering
room where two fair damsels are en-
bordering. One is working a piece OF
dress trimming, the other a Marty
fiounce The beau examines the EN-
broidery with the eye Of a connoisseur,
points out here and there the specially
good touches, and is too polite to notice
any defects. He takes little gold tube
out of the pocket of his richly decorated
waisteoat. and selects a dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at which
ridalise is working, and finishes the
flower which she had begun. From her
he moves to the sofa, and, Selling one
end Of the fonnce, assists Ismene, to
whom he pays special attention, to CON-
plete her task.
At this time it was the custom Of the
ladies invariably to carry their work
bags with them to the evening recep-
tons in which they had not only their
embroidery materials, but the last novel,
the popular song and their patch boxes
end rouge pots Gentlemen also carried
deity embroidered little bags into COM
pany. which held "a whole arsenal OF
cutlery and fancy articles, such as
boxes of different shapes filed with
lozenges, bonbons. snuff and scent. =
At another period the fashion of the
day was to cut out drawings from books
and pamphlets, and to paste them on
screens, lamp shades, boxes and vases.
The skill in this was to SO arrange the
drawings, or parts of different draw
ings, as to produce curious or amusing
effect Then there came a season when
all the rage was for charades and rid
dies, which gave peculiarly good OPP
portunity to exercise the light and rapid
wit so conspicuous in the French.
Every evening the drawing rooms We're
converted into impromptu charades.
Some lady would suggest word or
phrase and forthwith it would be con-
| verted into the subject of sprightly
little play. Many of the word games
now cure, with us in America had
their origin in the necessity the French
salons were under in the last century to
divert themselves. In some of the
salons the fashion of keeping a daily
chronicle of news, which was too often
a mere chronicle of scandal, was adopt

large degree in morals And it is only
by accepting the two standards Of SER
vice as equal, which they are not, that
the Oriental is much, if any. cheaper
We do not demand as much from the
Oriental merchant as we do from the
white merchant, in the matter Of at
traetiveness of goods and surroundings,
though these cost the merchant money
even if thy do not yield tangible value
to us. In other words the Oriental,
in large degree, appears to work cheap
er and to sell cheaper, than the white,
when IN reality he merely gives less.
