CAUSES DEBILITY.
Here Are Facts Backed Up BY
Strong Guarantee.

Debility is caused by catarrh. In
our opinion a person free from
Catarrh was never troubled with De-
bility. Debility can never be cured
by medicine not designed to cure
Catarrh. We positively guarantee
to cure Catarrh, and thus cure De-
bility. In every case where we fail
to effect a cure, we will not charge
cent for the medicine employed
during the trial. Now, surely no
one should hesitate to believe us or
to put our claim to practical test
under such conditions. We take all
the risk; no one else can lose any
thing by the transaction.
We make these statements and
this offer because we know and have
time and again proved that Rexal
Mucu-Tone will cure Catarrh. II is
designed for that one particular pur-
pose. 1t is not cure-all prescribed
to cure every disease that flesh is
heir to. 1t is specific. Rexal Mucu-
Tone is absorbed by the blood until
it penetrates every part of the body,
acting as an antiseptic, disinfecting,
cleansing, soothing and healing
agent. 1t rids the system of all
germ and poisonous matter. purifies
and enriches the blood, rebuilds in
jured tissues, cleanses and invigor-
ates the muco-cells, neutralizes the
acids of the body, stops mucus dis
charge. tones up the entire system,
promotes nutrition, increases body
weight. and brings about a feeling
of healthfulness that is lasting.
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes. Prices soc and $1.OO. We
urge you to try a bottle on our
guarantee. Brunt & Parman, Deco
rah, Iowa.

Last Friday morning occurred the
death of Mrs. John w. Thune of
this city at her home on Franklin
street.
Martha Lewis was born near Ber-
gen, Norway, Feb. 25th, 1925, and
died in DEBORAH, Iowa, April I'd,
1909.
Her parents dying in her early
childhood, she made her home with
strangers. She came to America
with the family of Mr.. John Drag
stad in 1S49 settling at Koshgo-
mony. Wis. In 1851 she came to
Iowa settling in Springfield Twp,
Winneshiek county.
She was united in marriage with
John w. Thune, June II, 1855.
Eight children were born to this
union, four of whom remain to
mourn the loss of kind and loving
mother.
Mrs. Thune became a Christian in
early life and through all the years
of trial and hardship trusted in God.
Her last illness was very painful,
but was borne with patience until
the end.
The funeral service was conducted
from the home in DEBORAH and also
at the Methodist church in Spring
field Twp, where the body was laid
at rest.

Two Kinds of Girls.

There are two kinds of girls In
the world, the girl who works and
the girl who gads. Commend US
to the former. Work lends dignity
to a pretty girl, is an added charm
to her. The girl who works, God
bless her, combines the useful and
the ornamental She might gad
about, roll on sofas, gossip and read
story books. but she prefers to be
of some account in the world and
goes out a stenographer. teacher,
saleslady or housekeeper, bravely
makes her own way. Such are the
salt of the earth and of such Is the

18th of July Fire Works.

Last week a representative of the

deal was practically closed with this
firm for big display, and the peo-

There are too many people, who.
