New Yorker Then Sets Fire to Pile
b .-- and Ends Life.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE charred
body of man was found on the rem
nants of burnt out fire on the
grounds of the Hazel avenue public
school in West Orange, N. J. Near by
was a can which had evidently con-
tanned kerosene and circumstances
pointed to the man as having chosen
to commit suicide by saturating his
clothing with the oil, lying down on a
prepared pile of inflammable material
and setting fire to the mass.
On portion of the mans clothing
which had not been consumed was
found a card of the Cornell Medical
college in Manhattan containing the
name of Felix Mystows, which is be-
lieved to be the suicides name. At
the college hospital it was said that
Mystows, who is forty years of age
and whose home is in this city, had
been treated there Thursday for a
stomach affection.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by consump.
ton.

IF people could only understand
that Catarrh is an internal scrofula
that noting applied externally does
much good they would not need to
be warned so often about this fatal
disease, which, when neglected, in.
variably ends up in Consumption, at
the cost of millions Of lives every
year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured
if the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in
the blood which circulate through
out the entire system. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
Although the effects are often seen
in the form of pimples, rash, eczema
or dry scaly skin, the trouble is
internal, and can never be cured by
external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is
by employing medicine which is
absorbed and carried by the blood
to all parts of the system, so that
the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is thoroughly
medicated, soothed, disinfected of
germ matter, and the soreness
healed,
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription Of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
Catarrh speciality and whose record
of success was cure in every case
where his atment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-T Tone. We are so positive
that it will cure Catarrh in all its
various forms, whether acute or
chronic, that we promise to return
every penny paid us for the medicine
in every case where it fails to cure
or for any reason does not satisfy
the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract
any obligation or risk when you try
Rexall Mucu-tone on our guarantee.
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes. The prices are SOC and 81.
Very often the SOC size effects a
cure. Of course, in chronic cases a
longer treatment is necessary. The
average in such instances is three

TAFT Dimes ON

dered Reception by the Negroes
Of the City and He Responds
Briefly to Speeches Of Welcome.
New Orleans, Feb. D).-President-
Elect Taft's second day as guest Of
this city ended with an elaborate
banquet at which many famous Creole
dishes were served Earlier in the
day he was rendered a reception by
the negroes Of the city and the event
was marked by enthusiastic cordiality.
Thousands Of the members of that
race assembled in the local baseball
park, filling the grandstand, bleachers
and q large portion of the grounds.
Hundreds Of negro school children
were banked on the benches, each
bearing an American flag. Songs
were given and speeches made by
Thomas Jones, president of the negro
Y. M. G. A., under whose auspices the
celebration was held, and Alfred Law
less, negro preacher, also by Chair
man Philip Weir1ein of the Progress
sive union. In reply Mr.. Taft declared
he would ..be the president of all the
people" and, adding that he wanted to
make a plain, common sense, non
political talk, told his hearers that
their past history had been remark
able in showing their capacity to de-
velop; that their future depended not
on emotionalism, but on Individual
character building, which meant hard
work and thrift To make themselves
indispensable to the people of the
community in which they lived was,
he declared with emphasis, the only
final solution of the problem which
they faced.
Dimes on Creole Dishes.
The banquet rendered the president
elect in. the evening was an elaborate
affair. With 1000 subscribers at $25
a plate the committee having the az
fair in charge directed the chefs to
do their best and spare no expense.
"a la Creole" was the line that was
followed in the preparation of the
dishes and garrets and discarded
trunks were ransacked in searches
for famous old recipes that have made
the culinary achievements of Louis
lana cooks so famous.
The day being Friday fish was a fea-
ture of the feast. Here New Orleans
is at it's best, for with the great fish
and oyster producing waters of Lakes
Pontchartrain and Borgne, many
bayous and the. bays and inlets and
banks of the Mexican gulf to draw
from there is marvellous variety of
the finest fish in the world available.
The recipe for "buillabaise,'' one of
the principal dishes, included six
slices Of red snapper, six slices of red
fish, half bottle white wine, half
lemon, six large fresh tomatoes, three
onions, three cloves of garlic and
three bay leaves. This is the dish
that drew from Thackeray the remark
that in New Orleans you can get a
buillabaise the like of which was
never eaten in Marseilles or Paris. +"
Other famous Creole dishes were in
cluded In the bill of fare. ~. r.
