THE CAUSE 0 jjFE:'l3 i Ijis,,:
Good Advice Regarding The Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds. y. F.. IS

If people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about $50
of coughs. colds and pneumonia might
be avoided. These troubles are simply
the result Of weakness, which produces
catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, which is as an internal skin
of the body. When this skin is
weakened, it becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These parasites
attack and break these delicate tissues
and set up soreness which produces
what is in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the
diseased membrane is disinfectel,
cleaned, soothed and healed.
We have remedy which we
honestly believe invaluable and unsur-
passabfe for the prevention and cure
of coughs, colds and all catarrhal con
ditions. 1t is the prescription of
famous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of 30 years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect cure in every
SooC VI iiiohC III Chdl sc IOl IliC Ilcul-
cine. We urge everybody in Augusta
who has need of such medicine to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee TO
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular. and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We have
two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone Prices

Is sufficient for a cure. AS a general
thing. the most chronic case is cured
with an average of three large bottles

nothing if you are not satisfied in

'wo Missing Augusta School Boys
Come Back froF41N AsssIborrff +

Weary and footsore, the two run

Earl Brown, arrived home Saturday
forenoon from their excursion to Vas
salboro, over which their parents and
others We're so much worried Friday.
Acting upon the message from River.
side stating that the two boys had been
seen there Friday afternoon, Clarence
H. Cram, father of one. started Sat
urday morning to look for the missing
children. He had driven but few
miles, when he came upon the boys
playing along the road and headed
towards Augusta. They were glaI
enough to be taken into the team and
at 1880 were safe at home again ID
the great relief OF those who had been
so anxious over them.
According to the story the boys to;d
they became angry at reproof fIr
whispering administered to them by
the teacher at the Lincoln school and
at recess the Cram boy conceived the
idea of running away to show Their
resentment at what the teacher nhad
said. The Brown boy proposed the
scheme of going to Waterville and
staying to see the big baseball game
but Reuel suggested that his father
might be at Waterville looking for him
with a policeman so VassalborO was
decided upon as the point to which
they We're to journey.
When they got to Riverside they
were pretty tired and loafed around
the station there, where they were seen
by the lady, who informed Mr.. Cram
of their presence there. They were
finally driven away by the station
agent and pushed on into Vassalboro.
They asked permission of one lady to
sleep in her barn, but We're refused.
After this they stayed under tree
until it grew dusk. Finally hunger COM
PEELED them to make another attempt
and this time they were successful IN
securing both food and shelter. When
they awoke in the morning the two
boys decided they had enough Of
tramping and started out at once to
walk, home and were some distance on
their. journey oWheir overtaken by Mr..
Cram. '.slf yhc..,. /.

A Communications

against voting in favor of the bill to
Eliminate Rines and Court street cross
ings. VIZ: That in so doing we surren-
der all hope of the abolishing of the
crossings remaining. Now the opposite,
in my Judgment, is the fact. When we
have tried our best before the Legisla-
ture TO get a. bill to abolish all and
failed, but did succeed in getting all
parties interested to accept the pres
ent proposition and the State to APP

gratitude and lack of appreciation on
our part not to accept and if we do
not, what will be the result: 1t will be
long time before anything can be
done. On the other hand If we accept,
we shall be in line for more favors and
the result will be so satisfactory that
the NJ C. r. r. will feel like undertake

The acceptance of this proposition
will be one step towards a general law

A New Wax Plant.

Consul P. Merrill Griffith, of
Tampico, reports as follows concern
ing the anticipated Importance of the
discovery that a superior quality of
wax, in paying quantity, can be ex-
tracted from the candelilla plant,
which grows freely throughout a
large portion of Mexico.
1t has been recently discovered
that the candelilla plant contains
wax of an excellent quality and of
sufficient proportion to make it ex
tremely valuable. The plant, the bo-
tanical name Of which is Pedilanthus
payones euphorbiacer, is found grow
ing in the following States: Tamau
lipus, Coahuila, Neuvo Leon, Chi
huahua, Durango, Zacatecas, Sonora,
Sinaloa, Baja California, Jalisco,
Pueblo, and San Luis Potosi.
In a recent issue of the Monterey

Spraying for Scale Insects.

1t is pointed out, in the Journal of
the Jamaica Agricultural Society,
that, although the methods Of max
ing the different washes for this pur-
pose and those of applying them may
be known and employed correctly,
it is of equal Importance, if the work
is to be effective, to have knowl-
edge of the best time to use them.
AS the scale insect on the plant ma
lures, it's waxy shield becomes more
and more impervious, and it's power
to protect the insect beneath it there
fore increases. This consideration
affords an explanation Of the irregu-
larity of the measures of success,
with the same wash, which are OBJ
tanned at different times.
The obvious way, then, in which
to insure the best results in attempt
ing to reduce the numbers of any
given kind of scale insect, is to spray
or wash just after the eggs of a new
brood have hatched. =
