Millions of Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths from this Disease

If people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications
cannot cure, they would not need
to be warned so often about this
malady, which, when neglected paves
the way oftentimes for consumption,
at the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet catarrh may be cured, if
the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by general
diseased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and
perhaps serious local conditions, which
may prove fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a madicine
which Is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, 80
that the mucous membrane or In
ternal lining Of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
fection of consumption and other dis
eaSuo.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a specially, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That rem
edy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so
positive that it will completely over
come 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
1t fails or for any reason does not
satisfy the user.
We want you to Try ReXall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk VIXEN you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
so cents and Sl00
Very often the taking of one
50-cent bottle is sufficient to make a
marked impression upon the case. or
course in chronic cases a longer
treatment is necessary. The average
in such instances is three $1.00 bot
ties. Remember you can obtain Rex
all Remedies in Skowhegan only at
our store,-The Rexall Store. F. w.

Although we have a state wide
primary election law that is sup.
posed to give every man a perfect
right to be a candidate for Office if
he chooses, twenty-one insurgents
of the state fixed UP a state ticket
and tried to force it upon the in
surgent voters of North Dakota.
That was the way in which Laud-
er, Helgeson, Buchanan, ct al, were
nominated" for office. In connec-
ton with the work Of this elimina-
ton committee of twenty-one an
amusing thing has happened. A.
L. Woods, a we'll known and elder
ly gentleman who has been con-
nected with much of the education
al work of the state, was the man
the committee nominated for the
Office Of state superintendent. Some
interested parties then got busy
and took a poll Of the county sup
erintendents, city superintendent,
principals and teachers to ascertain
the popular choice among the ed
ucators of the state for a state sup
erintendent. Last week the sealed
ballots were opened by a county
committee of three impartial coun-
ty superintendent and the result
announced. There we're so votes
for Woods, 258 for E. J. Taylor,
the present deputy state superin-
tendent, aud about 30 scattering
votes, 7 of which designated Tay-
lor for second choice. 265 to so!
Wasn't it a slap at the nomina-
tions by the elimination commit
tee? The result got a rise" out
of the Grand Forks Herald which
came out in an article very solemn
ly and earnestly appealing to Tay-
lor's honor to keep him out of the
race, and going to the extent of
eliminating" him. We d o not
think, however, that Taylor is a
man to listen to a masters voice"
