MILLIONS OF LIVES. LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con-
sumption.

If people could only understand
that catarrah is an internal scrofula
that nothing applied externally
does much good-they would not
need to be warned so often about
their fatal disease, which, when ne
elected, invariebly ends up in con-
sumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrah is
easily cured if the right treatment
IS employed. 49,. ..--.,->..-...
Catarrh is caused by germs in
blood which circulate throughout
the entire system. External rene
dies gives but temporary ease.
Although the effects are often seen
in the form of pimples, rash, eczema
or dry scaly skin, the trouble is
internal and never can be- cured by
external remedies. Il:
The only way to cure catarrh is
by employing medicine which is
absorbed and carried by the blood
to all parts of the system, so that
the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is thoroughly
medicated, soothed, disinfected of
germ matter, and the soreness
healed. " - H..
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a speciality and whose
record of success was cure in
every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy is Rexall Mucu-T Tone. We
are so positive that it will cure
catarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny
paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails to cure or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract
any obligation or risk when you try
Rexall Mucu-T one on our guarantee.
We have Rexall Mucu-T Tone in two
sizes. The prices are SOC and ST..
Very often the SOC size effects a
cure. Of course in chronic cases
a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is
three S1.o0 bottles. Barker's Drug

FOREIGN COUNTRIES PROTEST
Objections to Payne Bill Sent to State
Department. ...-.

Washington, April s. Protests
against proposed tariff legislation have
been received by the state department
from a number of governments in re-
lation to schedules that are reported
as involving special hardships towards
manufacturers abroad. To all of
these protests the department has re-
piled that it could only forward them
to the committees of the senate and
house of representatives which have
special jurisdiction over the tariff.
This has been done in each case.

PROHIBITION THE ISSUE.

wide Amendment Postponed Until
After st. Louis City Election, When
Measure Is Expected to Pass.
Jefferson City, Mo-, April 5.-The
proposed constitutional amendment
establishing statewide prohibition has
been made special order for April 8
by the house of representatives of the
Missouri legislature.
The committee on constitutional
amendments reported the measure
without recommendation. The Demo.
Gratis tried to force it's immediate con.
sideration, but by strict party vote
the Republicans defeated the effort
81 to SO. This was in keeping with
the action of the Republican caucus,
which is believed to have been based
On a desire to keep the amendment
In the background until after the city
election in ST. Louis next week. It is
claimed that the measure will receive
" votes in the house and % in the
senate and thus pass both branches OF
the general assembly.
There was a small sized riot in the
house before the final vote was taken.
The Democrats complained that no Oh.
portunity had been given to present a
minority report on the proposed
amendment and left their seats.
Immediately there was a rush for
the door, the Republicans seeking to
block the exits. U. G. Crandall. Re-
publican, and H. L. Johnson, Demo
crat, came to blows, but were sep.
arated before any damage had been
done. Most of the Democrats left the
hall, but later returned. J. T. Barker,
leader of the minority, charged that
much of the trouble had been caused
by the presence of nonmembers, who
had been brought in to prevent the
exodus of the Democrats.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 5.-The first
trouble in the anthracite regian since

ment has developed at the keystone
colliery of the Traders Coal company

More EgtraUagant than T1ceed's.

Ex-CongTessman Jefferson NJ. Levy who has dy-
ured plaintiff IN actions against the city pre-
vent the wasteful Of municipal funds. made
a further protest yesterday against what he char
acterized as a shameful waste OF money IN the
building of the Catskil aqueduct. Mr.. Levy said
that il would be better for the city TO stop the
work and sacrifice the S1s.O0o.0Oo than con-
tinue and spend needIessly many millions
The aqueduct. said Mr. Levy will cost fully 500
100000 to finish, although the original estimate %
only $6100,0OJ He placed the blame for the great
expenditure on Mayor Mcclellan who. he said all
though entirely honest has been more extraga-
CANT than Tweed.

was s1sl, ,O60e0N but the the money is bs-
ing expended S5OO.0OoO00 will be necessary When

supply the city with water for many years. Tbs
