THECAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding The
Prevention of Coughs and Colds.

fpeople would only properly fortify and
strengthen their syftsm. about SO per cent. Of
coughs, colds and pneumonia might be
avoided. These troubles are simply the re-
suit Of weakness, which produces catarrhal
condition of the mucu0us membranes, which
is ss an internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened, it becomes infested
with germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These parasites attack
and break these delicate tissues and set up q
soreness which producesiwhat Is In reality an
external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs aud
colds and prevent pneumonia is a medication
which is absorbed and carried by the blood
81 that the diseased membrane is disinfected,
cleaned, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which We honestly be-
lieve infalliable and unkurpsssable for the
prevention and cure Of coughs, colds and all
catarrhal conditions. 1t ia the prescription
of famous phy sicia1, who has an enyiable
reputation Of so years Of cures gained through
the use Of this medicine. We promise to either
effect cure in every case or make no charge
for the medicine. We urge every body IN
Alexandria who has need OF such medicine
to try Rexall Mueu-Tone.
It stands 10 reason that we could not afford
to make such statements and give our own
personal guarantees 10 this remedy If we were
not absolutely positive that we could substaL-
tate our claim in every particular, and we
sec no reason why anyone should hesitate to
accept our offer and try it. We have two
sizes Of Rexall Mucu-ioDe. Prices 60c. and
Sl.00. sometimes a 90. bottle is sufficient
for q cure. As a general thing, The most
chronic case ia cured with an average of three
large bottles. Rene uber, the medicine will
cost you nothing IL you are not satisfied in

"MoNEY spent on elaborate funerals
would do more good if given to some
charitable institution in memory OF the
deceased" said toe Rev. Leon II. Elms'
leb, 10 q sermon delivered recently be-
fore the MIkveh Israel congregation 10
Philadelphia. He taid:
In ancient time it was customary
among the Jews to have elaborate fu-
nerals even If the family had to suffer In
consequence. This reached such alarm
ing proportions that the rsbbis put 8
stop to it, commanding the devout Jews
to bury their dead in linen shrOuds and
10 plain pine boxes. This custom is
still held among the orthodox Jews, but
10 not adhered TO by the Jews IS whole.
II We give our dead decent burial thai
Is all that Is necessary.
1t Ia high time tba! some step be taken
sgaiust the EXCESSIVE cost OF funerals,
but at present the expense attached to
these sad occasions seems to be On the
increase rather than q decrease. Il lie
no infrequeut thing now for people oil
moderate means to be compelled to deny
themselves the absolute neceseaties oflife
when they are so unfortunate as to lose
\ member Of their family 10 order to pay
the funeral expenses.

saying that the number is still insigDih-
cant 10 comparison with the trees used
Tor other purposes aud that the damage

less from fires and careless methods OF

learn thai Dta'ly two-thirds OF the tim
Der that once covered the greater part Of

area, With about one.6fth Of all the
standing timber In the country, is owned
By the government and is being con-
served by scientific methods Of forestry.
