GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read This.

The number Of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that We believe this
space would hardly contain 6 mere
mention Of their names, and it is a
fact that most Of these diseases are
of catarrhal nature. A woman can
not be we'll if there is a trace oe the
catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be a. mistaken idea. We are so sure
of this that we offer to supply medl-
cine absolutely free Of all cost IN
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction or does not sub
stantiate our claims. With this un-
derstanding, no woman should hesl-
tate to believe our honesty Of purpose,
or hesitate to put our claims to a
test.
There is only one way 10 2ure Ca
tarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuHs,
douches or like remedies f. Years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh is caused by
germ. That germ is carried by the
blood to the innermost part Of the
system until the mucous membrane
is broken, irritation and Inflammation
produced, and flow Of mucous re-
suits, and you can probably realize
how silly it is to attempt to cure sucn
an ailment unless you take medicine
that follows the same course as the
germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription OF an
eminent physician who for thirty
years made his specially Catarra, and
with this medicine he averaged 90 per
cent. of cures where it was employed.
10 other remedy is so properly de-
signed for the ailments Of woman. 1t
will purify and enrich the blood. stop
mucous discharge, destroy all germ
matter. remove all impurities from
the system, soothe, heal and strength
en- the mucous tissues, and bring about
a good feeling of health ana strength.
We want you to try Rexali Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. If You are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell lis and We will
hand back your money. Eexall Mu-
cu-Tone comes in two sizes, 3Gc. and

SHIP SINKS.
Fourteen Go Down With Steamer OF
Lake Superior.-Founders in
Three Minutes.

Sault Ste Marie. Mich., July r.
Three minutes after the steel steam
erS Isaac NJ. Scott and John B. Cowle
had collided in Lake Superior early
this morning, about a mile and a halt
off White Fish Point lighthouse. the
Cowle had gone to the bottom IN oo
fathoms of water. carrying with it "A
members of her crew. The Scott, al
though badly damaged. put back to
this port. where she arrived this after
noon with part Of the crew OF the
Cowle.
A heavy fog was responsible for the
collision. The Scott, new boat, was
on her maiden trip to the head of the
lakes. The Cowle was down bound
with 5000 tons Of iron ore in the
hold.
When the crash came, Is feet Of
the bow Of the Scott penetrated the
side of the Cowle. In three minutes
the Cowle had settled to the bottom
of Lake Superior.
A line was thrown from the deck of
the Scott to the forward deck OF the
Cowle and three members Of the crew
escaped by this means.
The rest Of the crew who were say
ed jumped into the lake, some without
life preservers and we're picked up
by the Scott and the steamer Good
year, which was a short distance as
tern Of the Scott when the collision
occurred.
Capt. Rogers Of the Cowle was one
of those who were rescued.
Until Capt. Rogers returns here 1t
is impossible to secure the names OF
the men who perished with the Cowle.
The Scott received serious injuries
in the collision which would probably
have sent her to the bottom also IT
she had been loaded.
The John B. Cowle was A5 feet
long, 50 feet beam, and owned by the
Cowle Traction company OF Cleve-
land.

Road Inaugurates Policy of Build
ing up Territory Through Which
It Passes.

Columbia, July 15.-The spirit Of
aegressiveness that characterizes the
management Of the, Carolina, Cllnch-
field and Ohio RAILROAD is manifested
in the announcement at this early
stage of the roads policy for the up
building Of the territory through
which the line will pass in South Car
olina. This policy is outlined IN a
letter received by Commissioner Wat
son from Mr.. R. F. Brewer, the IN
duStrial agent of the Carolina. Clnch-
field and Ohio. in which he asks to be
furnished with complete and detailed
information as to agriculture in the
western part Of the State, soil sur
veys, etc.
In this letter Mr.. Brewer says:
"Our line at present traverses Chero-
kee and Spartanburg counties. We
will endeavor to bring in a class ct
GOOD citizens as we'll as educate
those living along or adjacent to our

WRIGHT SPEEDS IN AIR.
Flies Forty Miles an Hour at Fort
Meyer.-Makes Successful
Trial.

Washington. July l2.-Orville
Wright this evening made very sue
eessful fight in the Wright aeroplane
at Fort Meyer, Va. remaining IN the
air FIVE minutes and 80 seconds, dur
ing which time the machine attained
the exceptional speed Of 40 miles en
hour and circled the parade grounds
half a dozen times, a total distance
Of about three and a half miles.
A strong breeze prevented the
Wright brothers from starting the
aeroplane after it was brought from
the shed. While waiting for favorable
conditions, they examined the ma
chine carefully and chatted with
prominent persons who had gone ov-
er from Washington to witness the
trial.
With Count Won Bernstrof, German
ambassador, the Wrights talked at
length, explaining the workings OF the
machine. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
daughter Of ex-President Roosevelt,
enthusiastically examined the aero
plane, as did Secretary Of the Navy
Meyer.
When the signal finally was given
to start, the machine shot forward
and mounted gracefully into the light
breeze. Orville Wright guided the
flyer to the lower end of the large
parade ground and circled around to-
ward the starting pont, gradually rls-
ing higher from the ground.
Six Times Around.
Six times he rounded the course,
the machine attaining an average
speed of about 40 miles an hour, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wright.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time, the aviator decided to make a
landing because the motor occasional
" was missing a spark. He descend
ed easily, and lighted with no appar-
ent jar, the machine sliding smoothly
over the ground until it came to a
stop at point near the shed.
Both Of the Wnghts expressed
themselves as pleased with the per-
formance. They intend to make only
short flights until the new bearings
have become worn down and the
propelling motor is working perfectly.
When these things have adjusted
themselves to the satisfaction OF the
aviators they intend to attack their
main task, to which these minor
flights are preliminary-that OF sat-
isfying the conditions prescribed by
the government for the official test.

North Carolina indicate that the ac-
cident was Of graver nature than the
officers of the cruiser cared to ad-
NIT.
Corporal Maloney also was badly
injured in the explosion, it being
stated that he was completely blind
ed in both eyes. Several other men
were wounded. but less seriously.
An enormous quantity Of gas had
been generated by the 300 tons OF
coal in the hold and naval officers are
at a loss to know why Aiken permit
ted a lighted candle to be taken into
such dangerous place. Immediately
after the explosion an alarm was CIV
en- and the commanding officers with
a force of men stamped out the fire,
which otherwise might have commun-
icated to the powder magazine. Aiken
was terribly burned about the body
and head. The North Carolina being
anchored at the enc. Of Santa Lucia
harbor. half a mile from the docks,
the explosion passed unnotlced.
