so could not find safety in that direc-
ton. In looking about for a trail,
one of the men discovered down the
mountain side,-a housed With
loud yell they all started for it,-their
feet gave way, they slid, scrambled.
rolled over the snow pell NELL toward
the place.
They had come to Colby's ranch in
the heart of the mountains, which
was eleven miles from any communi-
cation with the outside world, the
nearest place being Switzers camp,
thirteen miles from Pasadena. They
were overcome with joy, for despair
had begun to clutch their hearts. Mr..
and Mrs. Colby hearing the great
white silence broken by the sound of
human voices, rushed out bareheaded
to meet them, filed with amazement
that these men could come to them at
this season of the year, and out of
terrific storm, but they welcomed
them with open arms. a huge fire
was soon roaring on the hearth, be-
fore which they warmed themselves,
and dried their frozen clothing, while
Mrs. Colby prepared for them the
best meal they thought they had ever
tasted. In the meantime the storm
had increased with such fury it was
out of the question to think of going
farther, and here they were sheltered
and cared for until Tuesday morning,
when over a trail, packed with solid
snow-of from three to six feet, they
started for home by way of Switzers
camp, with Mr.. Colby for a guide.
They were met on their return by
their friends, like men coming back
from the dead. And never was the
shrill scream of the whistle that an
nounced the good news, heard with
greater pleasure than it was upon
that evenful day in Pasadena.
1t is seldom that so many and such
strange adventures fall to the lot of
men within a period of three days.
The wild sweep of a balloon over
mountain flames, in the teeth of a
bowling storm, a descent like the
swoop of an eagle through a break in
the clouds, landing upon the edge
of precipice, life and death
struggle through snow, and almost
impossible tangles of chaparrel in
frozen wilderness, to them unknown,
a moment when the life of the whole
party depended upon one solitary
match, these are only a few of the
thrilling and dramatic adventures
that befell these men of whom write.

The Greatest Success
Known in Treating
Rheumatism.
Uric-O Expells the Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acid
from the System, Insuring
a Permanent Cure.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ing the claims of almost any remedy adver
tised as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being so. All the
plasters and liniments combined never actual
ly cured case of Rheumatism. They may
relieve it in one quarter but it is sure to
break out somewhere else. The only true
way to cure Rheumatism is to drive 1t from
the system, for as long as the Uric and
Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood, one is
never free from the trouble. Uric-O seeks
out the Rheumatic poison in the blood,
muscles and kidneys, renders it inert and
harmless and drives it out of the system. 1t
is composed of perfect antdotes for the
rheumatic acid poison in the system, and the
secret of its wonderful success lies in the fact
that it is designed to cure Rheumatism only.
Uric-O is sold and recommended by f. w.
Bucknam and by druggists everywhere at 75c
and sI.oo a bottle. They will furnish
samples and literature upon request or same

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning
the human stomach, is being given
more respect and comment every day.
Cooper claims that 10 per cent Of
all ill health is due to stomach trouble
When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said "Stomach trouble
is the great curse Of the 10th century
50 far as the civilized races are
concerned. Practically all Of the
chronic i'll health of this generation
is caused by abnormal stomachic con-
ditions. In earlier days, when the
human race was closer TO nature, and
men and women worked all day out
of doors, digging their frugal ex
istence from the soil, the tired,
droopy, halfsick people that are
now SO common, did not exist
"To be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of yirulent
character, and only temporary.
There was none Of this half sick CON
dition all the time with which SO many
are afflicted now a-days.
81 know positively that every bit
of this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stom-
ach in civilized people to-day is de-
generate. 1t lacks tone and strength.
This weakness has gradually come
through sedentary existence l
further know that few people can be
sick with the digestive apparatus in
perfect shape. The sole reason for
my success is because my New Dis
covery medicine tones the stomach
up to required strength in ABOUT six
weeks time. That is why have had
more people come and thank me
wherever l have gone to introduce
my medicine, than have had time to
talk with.

Helpful Hints on Hair Health
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else. No
matter how clearly the owner may
be, these articles may be infested
with microbes, which will infect your
scalp. 1t is far easier to catch hair
microbes than it is to get rid of them,
and single stroke of an infected
comb or brush often produces the
cause of badness. Never try on any
BODY else's hat for the reason that
many hatband is nesting place for
microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandrutf, iching scalp, falling hair or
badness, we have a remedy which
we positively know will cure these
troubles, and we are SO sure of this
that we offer it to you with the UNI
Outstanding that it will cost you moth
ing for the trial if it does not produce
the results we claim. This remedy Is
called Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic. 1t is
the most scientific remedy for all
scalp and hair troubles, and we know
of nothing else that equals it for
effectiveness. We know this because
of the results 1t has produced in hun
dreds of cases.
Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic will posi-
lively Danish dandruff permanently,
restore natual color when its loss has
been brought about by disease, and
make the hair mutually silky, soft and
glossy. 1t does this because it
stimulates the hair follicles. removes
dandruff, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about free, healthy
circulation of blood which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We
want everybody in Skowhegan
who has any trouble with hair or
scalp to know that Rexall 1893" Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and re-
storative in existence, and no one
should scott at or doubt this state
ment until they have put our claims
to fair test, with the understanding
that they pay US nothing for the
remedy If it does not give full and
complete satisfaction in every par
ticular. Two sizes, 80 cents and $1.00.
