GERMS IN HER SYSTEM

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ THIS
The number of diseases peculiar
to woman is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and
it is a fact that most of these dis
eases are of a catarrhal nature. A
woman cannot be we'll if there is a
trace of the catarrhal germs in her
system.
Same women think there is no
help for them. We positively
declare this to be mistaken idea.
We are 50 sure of this that we offer
to supply medicine absolutely free
Of all cost in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction or
does not substantiatc our claims
With this understanding, no wom-
an should hesitate to believe our
honesty Of purpose, or hesitate to
put our claims to a test.
There is only one way to cure
Catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than tenn
porary relief at best. Catarrh is
caused by germ That germ is
carried by the blood to the inner
most part of the system until the
mucous membrane is broken, irri-
tation and inflammation produced,
and a flow of mucous results and
you can probably realize how silly
it is to attempt to cure such an all
ment unless you take a medicine
that follows the same course as the
germ or parasite.
RcXail Mucu-Tone is scientific
ally prepared from the prescription
of an eminent physician who for
thirty years made his speciality
Catarrh, and with this medicine ne
averaged $50 OF cures where it was
employed. No other reemdy is so
properly designated for the ailment
of women. 1t will purify and en-
rich the blood, stop mucous dis
charge, destroy all germ matter,
remove all impurities from the sys-
TEN. soothe, heal and strengthen
the mucous tissues, and bring about
a good feeling of health and strength
We want YOU to try Rexall
Muco-TOnc on our guarantee. If
YOU are not benefited, or for any
reason not satisfied, simply tell us
and we will hand back your money,

DECATUR PLANTS
 GO ON FULL TIME
RAILROAD SHOPS AND TANNERY MAY PUT BACK FULL FORCES FLOWED

Decatur, June 4.- Especial )-There Is well founded report here which says that on July 1 the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops and the American Oak Tanning works, both in New Decatur, will open up with a full force of men and will work full time. This will mean much to the Decaturs because it will add several thousand dollars to the monthly pay roll of the two cities. For some time the railroad shops have been working with a reduced force of men and only working from three to five days a week.
 The usual number of men employed at these shops is 2500. For some months this number has been cut less than half. The tannery has been practically closed for more than year When running with a full force this plant alone employs about 300 men. It is the largest sole leather tannery in the world The open ing of these two mammoth plants will bring good times once more to the De- caturs.
 Recently the tannery has built several additions to the plant The capacity is 20OO hides a day.

RAILROAD MUST
 PAY BACK TAXES

Atlanta, June 4-(Special) )-Attorney Hart and Special Attorney Hooper Alex ander are preparing to file within the next few days a suit against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad com pany, lessee of the Western and Atlantic railroad, the property of the state, for back taxes alleged to be- due aggregat- ing $75,e00 or more.
 The amount claimed by the state can not be definitely stated owing to the fact that the basis of calculation will have to be fixed by the court In the event 1t should be decided that the state Is right in it's contention
 This grows out of the fact that part of the taxes claimed on net income alleged to have been earned by the road in excess of the amount returned for taxation. The claim is made that through certain system of account the returns of net income to the state for taxation have been smaller than they should have been, or in other words, that part of the amount which has gone into operating and other expenses should, properly considered, be put down as in- come subject to taxation.
 In addition to the foregoing the state claims the lessee company Is due taxes on all the rolling stock which it has in additiop to that which was turned over to it by the state when the lessee contract was entered into.
 Governor Smith has had this question up now for some time with the attor- ney general and MT. Alexander and the point has been reached at which the state is reaey to file the suit.
