Advice to Women
A Message from a Famous
Beauty Specialist to Women
Lacking in Energy and
Vitality

Thousands of women vainly at
temnt TO improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows feet
and other blemishes, through the use
of cosmetics. This treatment fails
because the trouble lies far deeper
than the skin. They are suffering
from impure and impoverished blood
This condition is In many cases due
to a catarrhal condition of the whole
system which finds its expression in
sallow, muddy complexion, dark
circled eyes, general weakness of the
system, and perhaps most plainly in
the weeping of mucuous membranes
that is commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Banlsh
this catarrh, and the complexion VIII
clear as if by magic, eyes will bright
en-, faces become rosy and shoulders
erect Perfect beauty goes only with
perfect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that
the one positive and permanent relief
for catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone
Here is her letter:
81 can strongly endorse the cio ms
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a
cure for systemic catarrh Its tonic
effects are remarkable. 1t builds
up the strength and restores vitality.
If women who are tired and run
down, lacking in energy and vitality
will use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will
praise as ! do it's strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall MucuTone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu-
cous cells-the congestion and in
flammation of which causes local ca
tarrh. This remedy causes poison to
be expelled from the system, and the
blood is purified and revitalized. Thus
the natural functions of the mucous
cells are restored, and the mem
branes are cleensed and made strong.
We know that Rexall Mucu-Tone does
relieve catarrh. We positively guar
antee to refund the money paid us
for this remedy in every case where
the user Is dissatisfied. 1t is a build
er of vigorous health and a creator of
good compilations. Price so cents and
$1.00 per bottle. Mail orders filled.
1t may be obtained only at our store,
The Rexall Store. f. w. Buchanan.

SO II is with those Who on a beau
tiful November day. wege fortunate
enough 10 attend the celebration OF
the soth birthday of Mrs. Augusta
Williams at her pleasant country
home with her daughter Mrs Jonah
Spanlding.
Mrs. Williams was born 80 years
ago. Nov. 1. 1919. In the town of Mad
ison in the state OF Massachusetts
1919 being the year previous to the
drawing up of the constitution and
the adoption of Maine as a state
II was a pleasure to those present
to hear her talk of the many. many
great changes that had taken place
and the wonderful inventions that
had been made since she was born.
Her memory Is something remarkable
and she does not dwell upon the past
but is just as interested in the
events of the day, keeping in touch
with all transactions and news in
our papers and magazines. One
would never take her to be ninety
years old as she enjoys very good
health and old age has left but few
wrinkles on her pleasant genial face.
She was the recipient of many tok-
ems of love from those present and
those away. She assured her friends
she was very happy and was so de-
lighted to have her friends cone ald
celebrate her ninetieth birthday with
her.
The time passed all too quickly to
those present and before their de-
parture, her daughter, Mrs. Spauld-
ing served delicious refreshments and
among them was a rich wedding cake
made fifteen years ago by Mrs Will
liams at the time she and her hus-
band, lothian Williams. now de-
ceased, celebrated their golden we'd
ding. 1t was her request that ii
should be cut on this occasion for her
guests.
Her one regret was that her son, DR..
Daniel Williams and his wife of New
York, could not be with her on this
day. Two ladies were present who
were in her Sunday school class when
they were little girls many years ago.
The Ladies' aid of the Methodist
church of which Mrs. Williams is a
member, was we'll represented and
also members of the Sunshine So
ciety.
AS the time came for the guests to
depart Rev. Mr.. Meseryey, pastor of
the Methodist church, offered prayer
and this pleasant birthday was
brought to close by that familiar
hymn. God Be With You, Till We
Meet Again

too many women in this civilized world,
who in their enthusiasm to bring the nom

caused US to question whether it was really
a sincere desire to ''teach the Word" or
merely desire to obtain notoriety by be-
coming known as being among women

THE BANNERS HALF CENTURY MARK.

This is the Banners birthday. The first
number was sent out from the press on the
1st day of July, 1859. The Banner has,
therefore, reached the mature age of fifty
years. That is an old age for country
newspaper, but in addition to its many
years of existence, the Banner has that
which should accompany old age, namely,
"troops of friends,' for whose loyal and
constant support it is ever grateful. 1t has
been the unceasing effort of this paper
from the beginning to advocate that which
seemed to it to be right. And it has always
seemed to be right to uphold the best in
terests of Bossier Parish and of the State
of Louisiana.
The Banner has recorded many changes
and great events in it's career. 1t has seen
the Rise and Fall of the Confederate
Government the grandest government
the sun has ever shown upon. It has seen
eight long and weary years of so-called
Reconstruction '-the darkest chapter in
the age of darkness-when aliens and
renegades ruled dnly to rob and Cypress,
and when their work of hate and robbery
was at an end there was nothing left but
land and people. But the people were
brave and true to their God and their State,
and knew how to ''labor and to wait. :"
1t has seen the population of the United
States increase from 100000 to near
$4,000, 600. Ithas seen thirteen new States,
to say nothing of Alaska and the insular
possessions, added to the Union. When
Cyrus West Field successfully completed
a line Of ocean cable and telegraph between
America and Europe the Banner published
the first dispatches that came by the At
lantic cable. 1t annonced the invention of
the telephone, of electric lights and of
electric railways. In short, it has seen the
development of modern civilization, his
tory Of which can be found recorded in its
columns.

INSCRIPTIONS white adventures and pre-
daceous politicians, are weary of waiting
and overborne with disappointment. They
have changed their plan and now seek tc
force the negroes to qualify themselves for
the political power they had voluntarily
rejected.
Not only SO, but they have persuaded
many of the Southern whites, who are toe
young to remember when the black heel
was on the white neck, to join in the out
cry for compulsory education of the ne
groes. Those of the Southern whites who
have innocently joined in this outcry for
conditions that may mean negro domino
ton would do we'll to consider what ca
lamities they may be assisting to bring
upon themselves and on their country, not
that there will ever again be negro domi-
nation in the South, but there will be wide
spread and frightful disorder and bloodshed
in preventing it.
If the negroes continue to live in the
South the masses of them must remain in
the lower and subordinate condition, which
alone can make for peace and prosperity
and the general welfare. The movement
for compulsory education of the Southern
negroes can mean only dire disaster to them
and misfortune to the entire country. AS
to the Northern associations that are seek
ing to shape and control educational affairs
in the South, they can bring us only evil.

First Bale of Cotton.

The first bale of the new cotton crop te
reach the floor of the Houston Cotton Ex-
change was grown by j. R. Norwood oil
Donna, Texas; was ginned at Mercedes and
was hurried to the floor of the exchange
Sunday morning as soon as it could be
cotton there after the arrival of the train
bearing it, the Brownsville.
The second bale was raised near Falfur-
rias, and reached Houston five minutes
after the Mercedes bale; quick rush was
made for the Cotton Exchange, but the
bale reached there minute after the other
bale.
The first bale weighed 1858 pounds and
sold at auction at 1925. The second bale
was sold at 500.
The first bale received at Houston last
year arrived on June Goth.
