MILLIONS OLIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption

If people could oniy understand that
Catarrah is an internal ssrofula- that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be warned
so often about this fatal disease, which,
wnen neglected, invariably ends up in
Consumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet Catarrh il easily
cured If the right treatment is en- olOyed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
but temporary ease. Although the eff
fects are ofeen seen in the form of
pimp.es, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin,
trouble is internal if internal, and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is absorbed
and carried by the blood to all parts cf
system, so that the mucous membrane
or internal lining Of the body is thor
oughly indicated, soothed, disinfecie0
of germ matter, and the soren SIS
healed.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription of a physician who for
thirty years studied and made Catarrh
a speciality and whose record of success
was cure in every case where his
treatment was followed as prescribed
That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We
are so positive that it viii 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 Rexal Mucu-IoTc
on our recommendation and guarantee.
We are right here where you live, and
you do not contract any obligation or
risk when you try RexaIl Mucu-Tone on
our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes. The prices are SOC.
and 81. Very often the Soc size eff
fects cure. OF course, in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is three
$l.00 bottles. A. J. johnson, druggist,

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT

In Tennessee and Kentucky gang
of lawless murderers and property de-
stroyers have been terrorizing the peo-
pie, Their avocation is somewhat SINH
lar to that following reconstruction days
when kukluxism was rampant. These
latter day law-breakers set out to de-
termine for planters how much tobacco,
cotton, or other product might be grown,
and when their orders were disregarded
punishment by destruction of property
or personal violence was meted out.
For one of these dastardly night-rid-
ings, after a prominent citizen has been
hung, a number of the gang were ar
rested and trial in Tennessee brought
conviction. Six were sentenced to be
hanged and two others given twenty
years service in prison. Amen, will be
sung for this righteous retribution.

A sENsIBLE PHILANTHROPY

Modern Woodmen, realizing the ire
mendous drain made upon their insur-
ance fund by tuberculosis, have de-
termined upon a practical attempt to
minimize the cost by establishing an
open-air colony in Colorado for the
cure Of members of the order who have
become victims of the plague.
The official reports of the Woodmen
show that more than IA per cent. of
their total mortality, from 1891 to 1907,
was due to tuberculosis. and that the
5, 156 deaths during that period cost the
oricr $9,065, 900 in cash. Each life
saved by the tuberculosis camp will
mean a saving of 81, 700 to the so
ciety, at an expense for treatment of
approximately one-twentieth that sum-
Here at least is an emergency in
which business sense and humanity may
work hand in hand. And now, as we
think of it, is it not surprising that
the other great insurance companies
have not dealt with the problem in the
same practical way? Putting aside tbs
humanitarian aspect of the case the
mere dollars and cents incentive is al
most beyond estimate. When we think
of the number of breadwinners that
might be saved to society and the bur-
den of helpless wives and children lifted
from public shoulders, the aggregate
saving is incOmprehensible.
Have the great insurance magnates
thought upon this question? Certain
ly the opportunity to cooperate pro-
fitably with benevolence and charities
is great. Madison Democrat.
