THE Federal Circuit Court, in unani-
nous decision handed down last Satur-
day at ST. Paul, Mimi, declares that the
Standard Oil Company is an illegal COM
bination in restraint of trade and a mo-
nopoly, and decreed that the company
should be dissolved within thirty days.
The four judges who heard the case were
in agreement, all concurring in the decree.
The case will, of course. be appealed by
The Standard Oil Company TO the United
States Supreme Court.
II looks as If this decision is death
blow TO the Standard Oil Company, but
we do not look for any serious result.
This great combination of wealth and in
fluence is really, in way, stronger than
the government itself. Ii is not only a
vast aggregation of capital, engaged in
the oil business, but il has such a great
hold upon the general business OF the
country that ii is impregnable. 1t con-
trolls Congress, dictates to the railroads
and other public service corporations, in
fluences private enterprises, manages the
officials of the State and national gov
ernments, owns legislatures, and is so
altogether powerful that il is hardly pos
sible to curb it now.
1t will take a revolution to break up
the Standard Oil Company.

ADVICE TO WOMEN.
A Message From a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking
in Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly attempt to
improve their compilations and to remove
blackheadS, crows feet and other blem-
ishes, through the use Of cosmetics. This
treatment fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are suffering
from impure and impoverished blood.
This condition is in many cases due to
catarrhal condition OF the whole system
which finds its expression in sallow,
muddy complexion, dark-circled eyes,
general weakness of the system, and per-
hapS most plainly in the weeping OF mu-
couS membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, properly
speaking, Catarrh Danish this catarrh,
and the complexion will clear as if by
magic, eyes will brighten, faces become
rosy and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty
goes only with perfect health, and perfect
health for women can only be obtained
through one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout the
world and an accepted authority on all
relating thereto, states that the one posi-
tive and permanent relief for catarrh is
Rexall Muco-Tone. Here is her letter:
81 can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Muco-Tone as cure for
systematic catarrh. Its tonic effects are
remarkable. 1t builds upthe strength and
restores vitality. II women who are tired
and run down, lacking in energy and vi
tally, will use Rexall Muco- Tone, they
will praise as do its Strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Muco-Tone works through the
blood, acting thus upon the mucous cells
the congestion and inflammation Of
which causes local catarrh. This rene
dy causes poison to be expelled from the
system, and the blood is purified and re-
vitalized. Thus the natural functions of
the mucous cells are restored, and the
membranes are cleansed and made strong
We know that Rexall Muco-Tone does
relieve catarrh. We positively guarantee
to refund the money paid us for this REM
edy in every case where the user is dis
satisfied. 1t is a builder ofvigorous health
and creator ofgood compilations. Price

1T is stated that since the tariff has
been taken off of works Of art that many
treasures from Europe are being imported
into the United States, where they may
be admired and enjoyed by the people OF
this country.
This is good thing.
But how much better it would be if the
tariff were taken off of the necessities Of
life and the people should be enabled to
buy better clothing at far less prices, and
get cheap lumber with which to build
homes-cheap iron and glass and china
and paper and shoes and gloves and
medicines and food, and all the other
things for which they are now paying
such exorbitant prices because OF the high
tariff.

1T is said that Hon. Vim. J. Bryan is
TO take up the cause OF temperance, and
his paper will come out strongly in favor
OF local option and prohibition. This
will make the heather rage once more,
but it will increase the admiration OF
many thousands OF devoted followers OF
the peerless leader.
The Register will take more pleasure
in endorsing MIR. Bryan's views on the
temperance question than it did on the
subject OF free silver. We know that he
can be making no mistake in fighting for
temperance.
