The June fire loss in the United States
and Canada was the smallest for any
month during the present year with the
exception of March, and was smaller by
S5,OO0,00O than the June fire loss OF
year ago-and yet it was not astonish-
ingly small. To be precise it was Sl4,-
435,950, as reported by the New York
Journal of Commerce. The fire loss for
the first half Of 1909 aggregated S1o3,-
903,05o as compared with Sl25,491, 100
for the corresponding period of 1908 and
$11T,477, 800 for the first six months of
1907. There is comfort in this COMPARE
son, though viewed by itself the fire loss
for the past six months would seem
heavy enough to cause CONSERVATION to
countrymen of the thrifty philosopher
who remarked that "a penny saved is
penny earned" Surely there is room to
save great many pennies by cutting
down the fire loss in the United States.
No European country could sustain
such a drain year after year and con-
tinue to thrive.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
The Awful Toll Collected by CONSUMPTION

If the people could only under
stand hat Catarrh is an internal
scrofula-that nothing applied ex-
ternally does much good-they
would not need to be warned 80
often about this fatal disease,
which, when neglected, invarihly
ends up in Consumption. at
the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured
if the right treatment is employ
ed.
Catarrah is caused by germs in
the blood which circulate throug.
out the entire system. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
although the effects are often see
IN the form Ct pimples, rash, &C.
zema ar dry scaly skin, the trouble
Is internal and can never be cured
by external remedies.
The only Way to cure Catarrah
Is by employing a medicine which
ls absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system,
so that the mucous membrane or
internal lining Of the body is thor
cugh]y medlcated, scothed, disin
fected of germ matter, and the
soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared
from a prescription of a physician
who fer thirty years studied and
made Catarrh a speciality and
whose record of success was a cure
in every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We
are SO positive that it will cure
Cat 'rrh 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 R2xall

already The Drug Store People Have Be-

Upon the statement of George
Sllvia, charged in the police court
to-day with drunkenness, that the
source cf his intoxication was
three bottles of jamaica ginger
purchased from Beliamy's drug
store. the mayor caused the ar
rest of two clerks IN the establish
ment charged with v~iolating Sec
ton 2 of the State prohibition act,
and they will be given trial to-
morrow.
The defense will be that the
preparation is included IN the
United States pharmacopoeia as
prescribed i'll the Lax end that the
charge cannot be sustained. The
law ]prcscribes that euch prepara-
tions (which are manufactured
and sold as medicines and not as
hevorages'' do not come wi hin
the meaning of the act; and the
d Tense will set up that jamaica
ginger is a paarmacopoeia product
and is manufactured aud sold as
'medicin@s and not as beverages"
though the mayor will endeavor
to show the witness that Silvia
purchased three bottles of the
product, two of them at different
times, and the clerks should have
been fixed, under the circumstan-
ces, with the knowledge that the
drug was being used as a beverage.
The case is attracting great local
attention - Wilmington, N. c.,
