The Cause of Colds

Good Advice Regarding the Pre-
vention of Coughs and Colds.
If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal
condition of the mucous 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. Healthy
mucous membranes are essential
safeguards of the body's general
health.
An excellent aid in the preven-
ton of coughs, colds, pneumonia,
and such like infectious diseases, is
a remedy that will prevent or cure
catarrh.
We have a remedy which we
honestly believe to be unsurpassed
in excellence for the prevention of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. 1t is the prescription of a
famous physician, who has an en-
viable reputation of thirty yearssof
cures gained through the use of this
formula. 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 a
medicine to try ReXall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guar
antee to this remedy if we were not
prepared to prove the reasonable
ness Of our claim in every partic-
uIar, and we see no reason why
any one should hesitate to accept
our offer and try it. We have two
sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone, prices
50 cents and $I.00. Sometimes a
50-cent bottle is sufficient to give
marked relief As a general thing
the most chronic case is relieved
with an average of three large bot
ties. You can obtain Rexall Rene
dies in Bradford only at our store, -

The S. S. Club spent q very en-
!oyable afternoon, Jan. 21st, with
Miss May Young. Some fine en-
broidery was on exhibition, some
fourteen complete centerpieces be-
ing shown. Delicious refreshments
were served in abundance. Nine
teen members and three guests
were present, and all felt well re-
paid for Drawing the January thaw.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.

Mr.. Eugene Field has sold his
house in the village to Mr.. William
Bond of Ely. Mr.. Bond is to take
possession some time in March. We
hope Mr.. Field may decide to re-
tain his business here. and with his
family conclude to stay with US.
Several members of the Nomans
Club braved the elements Sa J.Iday
afternoon to go to East Thetford,
where they were guests of the East
Thetford Club, and were entertain
ed at the home of Mrs. Charles EN-
erson. An address by Rev. Mr..
Gulick was on the program but
owing to the train being late he
could not be present. A good So
cial time was enjoyed however, and
varied and attractive refreshments
served during the afternoon. Some
musical numbers were given on the
Victor Graphopone, which is fast
becoming a popular entertainer.
The delegation from here were met
at East Thetford and transported
to Mr.. Emerson's by team, a cour-
tesy much appreciated in view of
the slippery condition of the roads.
The sociable by the choir, which
was to be held this week, is post
poned to a later date not yet decid-
ed upon.
Entertainment number four in
the churce repair series is billed for
the evening of st. Valentines day,
Feb. IA. Make your plans so as to
be able to attend. Program in next

feature of the evening.
Mr.. George Stlong reports larger
and larger receipts of milk at the
creamery, and that more is being
brought in than at this time last
year. If the increase continues it
may be necessary to run the cream
er every day. Well, bring it in,
the more the better, for all con-
cerned
On account of the shortage of
water a thaw has been looked for
as a good thing, but th.s one is al
most too good. The snow is all !
gone in this section and the roads
are fit for neither runners or wheels |
But at this time snow is not among
the impossibilities and the roads |
should soon be in working order

wEsr FAIRLEE CENTER.

1t was not wholly q surprise to
have the resignation of Rev. Mr..
Penwarden from this church and
the one at Post Mills, read last Sun
day, but in this parish there is re-
greet that Mr.. Penwarden takes this
step. His year would have expired
at the close of May, but he will
leave the first of March for Troy,
N. H.
The speaking and spelling con-
test last Saturday evening called
out q gathering which nearly filled
the church, the teachers from oil
the schools in town being present
with their pupils and friends inter
ested. The exercises opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Penwarden
There were two speakers and four
spoilers from each school and all
did themselves great credit. The
judges were Mrs. Mcknight, Miss
Annie Dodge and Mr.. Penwarden
and the prize was given to Ger
trude Moore, who recited "Maude
Muller's Hoss Trade, and honora-
BILE mention was made of Milo Cor
liss, who recited "Jane Jones" both
of these being members of the Kid
derhood school. Marion Miller
gave THE Blackberry Girl" She
is fine speaker, and with her white
ruffled sunbonnet and basket made
a pretty picture.
The spelling was confined to the
intermediate and Grammar depart
ment, Matte Boyd of Middle brook
winning from the former and Floyd
Corliss of Kidderhood school from
the latter. Those who won here
take part in the final contest which
will be held at Post Mills Friday
evening, Feb. Is. Mr.. McKnigh t
as superintendent seems thorough
ly interested in his work, and with
a corps OF good teachers it would
seem that the schools of West Fair
lee are under good direction.
Mr.. g. w. Perry seems rather
unfortunate thus far this winter,
having had two severe attacks OF
the grip. and was just out when he
got his hand badly hurt and will
not be out again for the present.
A sister of Mrs. Perry's, Mrs. Stur-
tevant of Hsrtland, is spending
few days with them.
Clyde Brown, who is working in
a saw mill at Rumney had a mar
row escape from death recently, as

taken of by the saw. He is in
the hospital and doing as well as
could be expected.
