A FAMOUS BEAUTY
SPECIALIST
Gives r dvice to Women Lacking
In Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women are using toilet
preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their thick.
muddy complexlons or to Danish the
pimples, blackheads and crow'sfeet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have had
blood, and bad blood in 80 per cent. of
the cases arises from Inflammation of
the mucous membrane. Their blood is
filled with poison which is certain to
oreak out in unsightly humors and
blotches-while pale, drawn faces, deep
circled eyes, STOPPING shoulders and
weak backs complete the story of SUI
fering and despair
Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane is catarrh. Danish catarrh and
complexions will clear as if by magic
become plump and shoulders erect
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through ReuaIl
Mucu-Tone, the one positive and per-
manent cure for catarrh.
Nine. Swift, A w. 26th ST., New
York City, the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an accept
ed authority on all relating thereto
has this to say of Mucu-Tone:
Il can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexau Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. It's tonic effects
are remarkable 1t builds up the
strength and restores vitality If wo-
men who are tired and run down, lack
ing energy and vitality, will use Mucu-
Tone. they will praise it as I do fol
its strengthening and healing quail
ties''
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, and acting directly upon the
muco-cells-the congestion and in
fiammation of which are the sole cause
of catarrh-causes them to expel the
poison and to resume their natural
functions. Thus the membranes are
cleansed-the blood purified and re-
vitalized.
We know that Rexal Mucu-Tone will
cure every form of catarrh, no matter
where located, of how long standing
or by what other names it is known
We guarantee to refund your money il
you are not satisfied with the vigorous
health and clear complexion it brings
you.

But VanderIip Failed to Reach Mother
Before Her Death.

Chicago, March 29.-In race
against time to reach the bedside of
his dying mother, Frank L. Vanderlip,
president of the National City bank
of New York, Sunday covered the dis
tance from New York to Chicago in
Is hours and So minutes. This broke
all railroad records for the trip.
Mr.. Vanderlip arrived % minutes
after his mother died.
Shortly before midnight last night
Mr.. Vanderlip in New York received
word from Chicago of the serious ILL
ness of his mother, Mrs. Charlotte l..
VanderIip. He imme ediate1y ordered
the New York Central to supply him
with the fastest special train at its
command.
Mr. Vanderlips train was given the
right of way. The run from New
York to BuffaIo-440 miles-was COW
cred in S9s minutes. The run from
Buffalo to Cleveland-1S3 miles-was
covered in 168 minutes. Leaving
Cleveland at 9:27 a. m. the special ar

'IT is PLAYED OUT"
So Says e. III. Hartman I'm Discussing
Rate Agitation.

So Says e. HI. Hartman in Discussing g
Rate Agitation.
Reno, New, March 29.-when he
stepped from his private car at the
Reno Sunday. Mr.. Hartman at first
declined to be interviewed. But
recognizing the managing editor of
the Nevada State Journal as some one
with whom he had had slight ac-
quaintance In New Yory city some
years ago, he became most cordial.
Turning to his interviewer. he asked
'What do you want me to talk
about ?"
Railroad matters; the people of
Nevada are somewhat agitated at the
present time about the traffic rates,
and we would like to hear from you"
Quick as flash came the follow
ing from Hartmann:
"It is played out, it is played out;
1t is past and gone. If Nevada wants
to get in the lead her people should
legislate in favor Of combinations and
coalitions of transportation line.
'As civilization progresses that is
sure to come, as it is so evidently for
the good of the country at large.
Every dollar that is invested in un-
necessary property is dead and to that
extent prevents the investment of
capital in other developing enterprises
and the permanent employment of
labor. I mean by that, the money is
wasted, it brings no return and passes
out of the channels of trade"
Mr.. Hartman appeared sprightly
and in buoyant spirits.
Mr.. Hartman was accompanied by
H. P. Calvin of the Southern Pacific
and H. w. Sheridan, general superin-
tendent of the Sacramento division as
well as his personal party. He was
met by w. H. Bancroft, vice president
and general manager of the oregon
Short line, J. NJ. Davis, general super
intendent of the Oregon Short line, E.
G. Mason, superintendent of the Salt
Lake division, Thomas Fitzgerald,

vision. and E. w. Clapp, Southern Pa
cific freight and passenger agent for

WILL HAVE NEW COACH.
Hagerman Has Resigned From "A. U.
Track Team.

Lawrence, Kan, March 29.-Most
OF the Kansas students are trying to
explain why the track meet was lost
by such one-sided score. Coach
Hagerman is entirely exonerated and
there are but few of the students who
blame the team. It seems to be the
consensus of opinion that Kansas was
defeated by score which was COM
mensurate with the ability of two
teams but nevertheless there is a
reason for the track landslide to Mis-
souri,. Kansas does not pay sufficient
attention to track athletics, all inter-
est being centered in baseball, football
and basketball.
Coach Hagerman said this after
noon: II have no excuses to offer for
the loss of the meet. Missouri had a
'betetr team and deserved to win. I
am badly disappointed"
There does not seem to be a. single
student who checks the loss of the
meet to Hagerman. AS Mr. Hager-
man resigned several weeks ago to go
to California, Kansas will have a new
track coach next year.

CHANGE FOOTBALL RULES.
Field Goal VIII Count Three Instead
of Four Points

New York, March 29.-An important
change in the football rules was made
mittee, which completed its sessions
here, in the reduction of points for a
goal from the field from four to three
The object of this change, it was said
was to prevent two goals from the field
counting more than a hard won touch
down and goal. Members of the COM
mittee say the change will reduce the
Importance on teams of star field goal
kickers and make it harder for a medi-
ocre team with a good kicker to beat
out a better all round team without a
star kicker.
Another change of Importance was
designed to prevent confusion in infiict-
ing penalties when two penalties had
been incurred by one team for the same
play by giving the offended team the
option of saying which penalty should
be imposed
