The Cause of Colds
Coed Advice Regarding the Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system. the majority of
cases of coughs, colds and pneumonia
might he avoided. These troubles ara
frequently due to weakness, which bro.
ducesSn catarrhal condition OF the mu.
cous membrane, which is an internal
skin .of the body. When this skin is
weakened it becomes easily infected
with germs which cause many of the
diseases to which flesh is heir Heal.
thy mucous membranes are essential
safeguards of the body's general
health.
An excellent aid in the prevention of
coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such
like infectious diseases, is a remedy
that will prevent or cure catarrh.
We may have a remedy which we
honestly believe to be unsurpassed in
excellence for the prevention OF
coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi-
lions. 1t is the prescription of ia
nous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of thirty years of cures
gained through the use of this formu.
la. We promise to make no charge for
the medicine should it fail to do as we
claim. We urge everybody 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 prepared to
prove the reasonableness of our claim
in every particular. and we see no rea-
son why any one should hesitate to &C.
cept our offer and try it. We have two
sizes of ReXall MucuTone, prices so
cents and S1.o0. Sometimes a 50-cent
bottle is sufficient to give marked re-
lief. AS a general thing the most
chronic case is relieved with an aver
age of three large bottles. You can
obtain ReXall Remedies in Augusta
only at our store The ReXall Store.

Former Not Getting Exorbitant

Washington. Jan. 3.-"We have al
ready discovered that the farmer -

of the beef he raises said Secretary
Wilson of the department of agrlcul-
ture in discussing the high prices OF
food supplies today.
Il have no doubt in the world, ne
continued that the same conditions
will be found to prevail in most Of the
other lines of farm products.
The department OF agriculture has
agents in every state and every county
in the country and they have been Or
dered to report eXhaustively on the
cost of production and the returns or
sales of all sorts of food products. AS
fast as we receive these figures we
will compare them with the prices the
same products bring in the cities where
they are consumed. We will then give
the facts to the public.
We intend to bring out the truth,
irrespective of whom it hurts or whom
it benefits. | am convinced that the
public is compelled to pay a great deal
more for nearly everything it eats than
it should and | believe the figures will
bear me out.
There is ample excuse for some OF
the increase in the cost Of living over
what it was years ago The farm area
is not keeping pace with the demands
for food stuffs.'

THE PURE FOOD LAW.
and Identity Ct Many
ORGANIZATIONS Somewhat Confused.

Washington. ID. c., Jan. 3.-ln the
contest over the workings and inter-
probation on the Pure Food Law. with
some organizations seeking to weaken
it and others to strengthen it. con-
fusion of Identities has arisen in the
public mind as to certain Associations
and what they are striving to do.
There is no doubt as to the personality
Of such organizations as the American
Medical Association, the American In
stitutc of Homeopathy. the Mississippi
Valley Medical Association or of the
New jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
kentucky and other state and local
Medical Associations who are fighting
against chemical preservatives, but the
identity Of the American Association
FOR the Promotion of Purity in Food
Products, is not so we'll known, and
vet, in it's way it is doing as much as
any organization to secure pure food
supplies. 1t is an organization OF mans
ufacturers thoroughly in sympathy
with state and federal pure food legis-
lation, believing the same to be of
inestimable value to the legitimate
trade ard to the consuming public.
They believe that certain reactionary
interests opposed originally to the en-
actnent of a National Pure Food Law.
are now in opposition to its proper en-
forcement and antagonistic to the reg
ularly constituted authorities charged
with it's administration" This Asso-
citation charges that the reactioners
"by concerted action have been able,
through political and other influences,
n q
most important provisions of the law,
especially those prohibiting the use OF
chemical personalities, colors, hleaches
and like substances harmful or at least.
doubtful wholesomeness and other
forms of food adulteration." 1t is also
charged that by the employment OF
these chemical substances there are
being perpetrated some of the graVest
abuses of the past through the use of
unwholesome and unfit raw materials,
careless and unsanitary practices in
incarnation. ETC. that are only possible
through this artificial chemical aid"
The members of the American Associa-
ton for the Promotion of Purity in
FoodProducts frankly hold that so
| long as any of the food product INDUS
tries are permitted to use artlhclal
personalities and coloring matters, or
other injurious and doubtful adultera-
| tons in foods and unwholesome raw
materials and practices in food pre-
| paraton. the legitimate trade must

ing interests which would be

believes that such success will tend

Glare, ireland, in company with
number of other men, who obtained
work in the Maine Central wood yard
In those days no coal was burned IN the

mon, was assigned to the duty of filling
the big tuLs with coal. After few
months Mr.. Coury was transferred to
the gravel train and worked on that
for several years. After a term us Sec
ton hand and another period in the
woodward for the road found that it
was still necessary to use large
amount of wood on the engines, Mr..
Coury resumed work in the coal sheds,
remaining there for five years and six
months.
While there he had to fill the tues
and do all of the work himself, and he
established the record of filling three
tubs and having them ready to dump
into the engines in q minutes, record
that has never been equalled by any
coal shoveler in the state. AS each tub
held d ton of coal it gave him seven
minutes to handle ton. The work
was hard and Mr.. Coury's bent should
erS testify to the manner in which ne
did it. faithfully. as he mas always per-
formed the duties to which he has been
assigned.
More than twenty years ago Mr.
Coury was given q gate tenders berth
and for about fifteen years was sta
toned at the Union street crossing. He
was then assigned to the Cedar street
crossing, but five or six years ago the
gate house was moved to Pleasant
street and since that time he has had
charge of the gates on both streets.
During the quarter century that he has
been employed on the gates Mr.. Coury
has never had an accident.
