Dog Tax For Schools.

A fund of $16, 900 that has beer
accumulatlng In the Montgomery
county treasury for many years
from dog tax is about to be dis
tributed by the ommlssioners
among the various school dis
tricts Of the county. For some
reason former Commissioners
have neglected making this dis
tribution, and the present Board
thought that 1t would do the
schools more good than lying IN
the county treasury. Under the
law the money derived from dog
tax Is applied to damage claims
resulting from depredatlons by
CANNES. A certain percentage
of the money will be retained to
meet these.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM. .
Every Woman Should Read this Advice
and the Generous Offer that
Goes With II.

The number of diseases pecu.
lla- to women is such that we be-
lieve this space would hardly
con tain a mere mention of their
names. and 1t is a fact that most
of these diseases are of ca
tarrhal nature. A woman can
not be well If there Is a trace of
catarrh IN her system.
Some women think there Is no
help for them. We positively
declare this to be mistaken
idea. We are so sure of this that
we offer to supply medicine ab.
solutely free of all cost in every
instance where 1t fails to give
satisfaction, or does not sub.
stantiate our claims. With this
understanding, no woman should
hesitate to believe our honesty of
purpose, or hesitate to put our
claims to a test.
There Is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is
through the blood. You may
use all the snuffs, douches or like
remedies for years without get.
ting more than temporary relief
at best. Catarrh In general is a
diseased condition of the system
that shows locally most frequent
ly in discharges from mucous
membranes. Local treatment
should be assisted by internal
treatment for the general dis.
eased condition If a complete cure
IS to be reached. That internal
treatment should be scientifically
devised and faithfully admins =
tered.
Rexall Mucu Tone is scientifi-
cally prepared from the prescrip-
tion OF an eminent physician who
for thirty years made catarrh
his speciality. This remedy is
admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments of
women. 1t purifies and enriches
the blood, tends to stop mucous
discharges, aids IN removing i'm
purities from the system, soothes
heals and strengthens the mucous
tissues, and brings about a feel.
ing of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall
Mucu.Tone on our guarantee.

any reason not satisfied, simply
tell US and we will hand back
your money. Rexall Mucu Tone
