CAUSES DEBILITY
Here Are Facts Backed Up BY a
Strong Guarantee.

Debility is caused by catarrh. In
our opinion a person free from ca
tarrh was never troubled with debil-
medicine not designed to cure ca
tarrh. We positively guarantee to
cure catarrh, and thus cure debility
In every case where we fail to effect
a cure, we will not charge a cent for
the medicine employed during the
trial. Now, surely no on should hes
itate to believe us or to put our
claim to practical test under such
conditions. We take all the risk !;
no one else can lose anything by the
transaction.
We make these statements and
this offer because we know and have
time and again proved that Rexall
Mucu-Tone will cure catarrh. 1t is
designed for that one particular pur-
pose. 1t is not a cure-all prescribed
to cure every disease that flesh is
heir to. 1t is a specific. ReXal Mu.

WILL LOOK LIKE
THE LODGE ROOM
Illinois Theater to BE deliberately
Decorated When Elks Put on
the Sultan of Sulu.

The Illinois theater will present the
of highly decorated lodge
hall on April 90, which is the date set
for the production of The Sultan of
Sulu." The entertainment committee
has decided to- decorate the entire
theater in purple and white, the colors
of the society, and elk heads and other
insignia will play a prominent part in
the decoration scheme. The Elks
have entered into the spirit of the &C.
casion and are determined to make the
affair c success in order that the pro
ceeds will make a creditable donation
TO charity. The members of the cast,
most of whom are young people from
Moline, are practicing faithfully, and
the play will have considerable merit
when presented. At some later date
it will be given in Davenport also and
the proceeds will again be given to
charity

Entertainment Proved of Fine Quality
Attendance Saturday Even
ing Was Largest.

The last performance of the Y. NJ. c.
A. circus, which took place Saturday
evening, was attended by far the larg-
est crowd of any of the performances,
and the deficit which faces the promo
tiers of the affair was considerably les
sened. Because of the poor attend
ance of the first three performances,
however, the circus went into debt to
the extent of nearly $500 The program
for Saturday evening was unusually
strong and the crowd was well pleased
with it.
Resume Gym work.
With the circus over and out of the
way, regular gymnasium work, which
had been discontinued during the time
spent in preparing for the circus, will
be taken up again. Plans are also be-
ing made to commence the spring
schedule of sports, which includes
baseball, tennis, and cross country
running.

A Bostonian View.

Eds. Republican: I look for your
paper more anxiously than for the Bos-
ton metropolitan journals, because OF
its exceptional ability, and because I
was country editor fifty years ago,
aiding the development of southeastern
Nebraska, where realty has gone up
from $1.25 to SIS and 500 an acre.
The same causes will produce the
same effects in your county. You have
the soil, the climate, the timber and
the mineral wealth, awaiting only the
means of transportation, which will be
forthcoming as soon as permission is
granted to utilize the idle power OF
White river.
The proposition of Governor Folk to
tax the franchise might be just did its
benefits accrue only to the promoters;
but where the commerce of the Ozarks,
and of the state, is involved, it is the
duty of every citizen to advocate any
measure that will accomplish the pur-
pose, even though profit should ac-
crue to the promoters sufficient to pay
expenses in addition to national o.
state tax.
The question is not so much as tc
Lor,, ,c r. ;c one of the thing 6eIne
done at the earliest moment; and ,.ef
the time comes you can count upo1
all the help possible from,.
Your Boston correspondent,

WOODMEN
CELEBRATE
Forsyth Lodge Observes 10Th
Anniversary of the Order

The twenty-sixth anniversary of the
founding of Woodcraft was celebrated
by Forsyth Woodmen with banque
! in their hall at this place. Members
of the Branson lodge and various visit.
ing neighbors were present to assis,
with the feast and the ceremonies which
followed. The ladies of Forsyth are
noted for their skill along culinary
lines, and the eatabfes prepared gave
their reputation another boost.
The ceremonies of the evening were
opened with music by the orchestra,
following which Dr. Baldwin delivered
an address of welcome, which was re-
sponded to by F. A. Forbes on behalf
of the Branson camp. The Divine
blessing was invoked by w. H. Price.
Then followed a concerted assault by
the hungry Woodmen and their hum
cry friends on the good things pro-
vided, and dire havoc was the result.
After the banquet the tables were
cleared and the Woodmen took charge
of the ceremonies for the rest of the
evening. Among other business was
the admission of w. H. Adams to the
Forsyth camp on transfer from Brad
leyville, and the initiation of Town
Jones, Robert Adams and Ivan Stroud
into the mysteries of Woodcraft.
Owing to the lateness of the hour at
the close of the initiation ceremonies
the installation of officers was post
poned until the next regular meeting.
The business of the session very ap-
propriately included a vote Of thanks
to the ladies for their part in preparing
the banquet, and to the Branson Wood
men for their assistance in the busi-
ness of the evening.
Among the visiting neighbors present
were A. L. Kelley, of Pedrow, Mr..
Evans, of Kansas, and c. M. Thomp-
son, F. A. Forbes, H. R. Melton, John
Patterson, Hy Mcfarland and Oscar
Evans, of Branson.
This meeting will go down in the
annals of the order as equalled only by
the banquet given last year, and to be
exceeded only by the one to be held on
the same date in 1910.

Still John Fisher said nothing.

Pooh! don't make such a long face

II do"
And that If only imagined it

This was adding contempt to insult,

Nov, now, keep your temper,
John!" cautioned the lady. "You
know very well that If you hadn't

you will but withdraw your mind from

You will be unconscious of it,
John Fisher sat down in disgust.
It'll tell you what will do" contin-
ued the resourceful mother-in-law. eff

nerves killed in four others. I should

John Fisher looked surprised, then
ashamed. Had his mother-in-law the

He smiled grimly. Two hours Or SO
on the torturous dental chair would
make his mother-in-law change her
opinion about pain being all in the
mind.
The lady also smiled, but her smile
was all sweetness and guilelessness.
The dentist lowered the dental chair
to accommodate his patients height,
and, after spreading a nice fresh towel
over John Fishers shoulder, filled his
mouth with a sheet Of rubber to keep
him quiet and began his several acts

It was agony, and John Fishers

With shiver John Fisher looked

Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers
ALONE WITH MOTHE.

| Do not we all remember with
pleasure the days when ''the
others" were out, or we, perhaps,
| not perfectly we'll, and mother had
US in her drawing room, Or work
room, or took US out for little
walk a'one2 Not that we did not
love TO romp and play. Not that
we did not appreciate to the full
the picnics and other family ex-
peditions which took place from
time to time; but there was enjoy
ment of very different, deeper
sort in those quiet times with
mother, the remembrance of which
has lasted half lifetime. There
is very real danger that the
mother of large family may never
fully come TO know her children,
and gain that influence over them
for good individually which is so
desirable that every mother should
have We do not hesitate to say
that it is absolutely impossible for
woman to become the confidant
and friend of her children unless
she weekls-nay, daily-spend
some short time alone with each.
Only in this way can each child
feel the security Of his or her own
ersiilp OF that precious mother.
The stern realities Of life permit
only short seasons of recreation,
and it is only by planning judi
ciousiy the arrangements of time
and divisions Of labor that a busy
mother car insure child his
rig htfui portion of her company.
