MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con
SUMPTION.

If people could only understand that
Cattarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be
| warned so often about this fatal dis
| ease, which, when neglected, in
variably ends up in Consump tion, at
the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if
the right treatment is employed
.Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
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 can
never be cured by external remedies
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is alb
sorbed 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

and the soreness healed.
We had a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
Catarrh specially and whose record
OF success was cure, in every case
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-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 rea-
son does not satisfy the user
We want you to try Rexail 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-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu Tone in two sizes.

A North Topeka man was awakened
about midnight recently by a thump-
ing noise repeated at intervals. The
sounds came from the direction of his
dresser. He rooms by himself, and
while he is not superstitious, he didn't
like to be alone in the dark with the
mysterious noise. He got up and lit
a light The sound came again. This
time 1t seemed to come from directly
under an old alarm clock. The time
piece was nearly worn out but kept
fairly good time. He opened the top
drawer, thinking that possibly mouse
was IN it and had made the noise.
However. it was empty as it had been
for several days. He closed the draw
er. Then came another humping
sound from the same place.
Suddenly an idea struck him. He
placed his hand over the clock and
waited. Instead of a thump. this time
he heard only a slight whirr at the
same instant felt a jar inside the clock.
The mystery was explained. The works
of the clock were somewhat worn and
loose, thus causing them to run loosely.
At regular intervals something slipped
and caused the whirr. The vibrations
from this had been 'magnified into a.
meath the clock acting as a sounding
board. When he placed his hand over
the alarm, the vibrations were checked
and no humping sound produced Thus

The Stomach
of the Child
Is the Organ All Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal


The stomach of child is the organ
above all others upon which the future
of a child depends. Bodily develop
ment is fast in children. and the nour-
dshment necessary to meet such devel-
opment is the one essential demanded
from a parent. Most mothers and faith
ers, jealously guard a child from the
formation of bad habits. yet in this age
our children early become the victims
of wrong food. overeatfng and irregu-
lar meals.
1t is most appalling to know the ef-
feet of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous, irri-
table and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly. who tire easily and have no de-
sire for child exercise. generally have
stomach trouble, indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and tC
place the system in shape to obtain all
the nourishment it needs from such
food
These tablets mix with the juices OF
the system, enriching them and giving
to the body the ingredients necessary
to build up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
given to children after each meal and
at bed time. They are made from pure
vegetable and fruit essences and con-
tain no harmful chemicals whatever
The use of these tablets VIII give great
er vim to a child in its school work OF
at its play. They will produce appe-
tfte and soothe nerves, destroy abnor-
NAL cravings and will allay the bad
effects of sweets and such improper
foods as most children enjoy and will
eat no matter what is done to prevent

MILLER AGAINST
ORIENTALZ|NG
Cyclone State Scion Believes
in Americanizing the
Islands.

Representative Miller, of Kansas,
while at the Volcano House declared
that he would not vote for appropria-
tions to extend the reclamation or ir-
rigation acts to Hawaii "to enrich
the planters, although he could be
depended upon to back full appropria-
tons for the development of the naval
station at Pearl Harbor and for the
development, at least, of Hilo S big
roadstead to make it safe port for
big vessels calling there.
Mr.. Miller also declared that he was
unqualifcdly in favor OF small farm
ing and the thorough Americanization
of the Hawaiian Islands, and that the
planters were short-sighted people if
they did not assist, in every possible
way, the Americanization, rather than
the Orientalizing or Europeanizing, of
the islands. 1t was his opinion that
the government should utilize the in
come realized by the specific income
tax for immigration purposes, in bring
ing American settlers here to make
homes and enrich the islands. rather
than to send abroad for more European
and Asiatic laborers for the planta-
tions.
His talk on these questions was re-
plete with the idea that the planters
were benefting by every turn of leg
islation for these islands. The reclaim
alton and irrigation acts extended to
Hawaii would enrich them. The duty
on sugar enriches them far beyond
what the planters of the mainland
ever expected to realize, for the Ha-
waiian planters use cheap Oriental la
Dor, while the mainland planters use
American or higher priced labor.
Congress is ready to lift the duty
on sugar. said Mr.. Miller. cit al
most happened this session, but let
me tell you it will come. 1t will not
wipe out the sugar4industry of these
islands by any means, but will merely
reduce their dividends. If the Ha-
waiian planters insist on maintaining
a great Oriental establishment here,
the Federal government certainly should
not make appropriations of millions
of dollars to benefit and Americanize
the islands.
In few years when the Japanese
are citizens of the islands and able
to vote, some leader among the white
politicians can get them together and
then the planters will realize that they
