AUDUBON SOCIETIES

Through the generosity of Mrs.
Russell Sage, the National AssOcia-
ton of Audubon Societies is able
to make the following offer of as
sistance to teachers in the South
ern States who are interested in
giving instruction to pupils on bird
study. To form a junior Audubon
class for bird study a teacher
should explain to the pupils (and
others if desired) that their OBJ
ject will be to learn all they can
about the wild birds and that every
one who becomes a member will be
expected to be kind to the birds
and protect them Each pupil will
be required to pay a fee of 1Oc each
year. When ten or more have paid
their fees, the teacher will send
their money TO the Southern office
Of the association, Greenboro, n. c..
and give the name of the Audubon
Class and her own name and ad-
dress. The association will then
forward to the teacher for each
pupil whose fee has been paid, the
beautiful mockingbird Audubon
Button" and set 10 colored pictures
with outline drawings and leaflets;
free of cost the magazine, -" Bird
Lore for teachers. II is expected
that teacher give at least one les
son a month on the subject OF
birds. The leaflets will be of value
as basis for essons. All teachers
interested are encouraged 10 cor

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This Ad-
vice and the Generous Offer That
Goes With it.

The number Of diseases peculiar TO
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention Of their names, and il is fact
that most Of these diseases are of a
catarrhal nature. A woman can
not be well if there is trace Of ca
tarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this to
be a mistaken idea. We are so sure Of
this that we offer TO supply medicine
absolutely free Of all cost in every in
stance where 1t fails TO give satisfac-
tion, or does not substantiate our
claims. With this understanding, no wo-
man should hesitate to believe our
honesty Of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to test.
There is only one way 10 overcome
catarrh. That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs, douches or
like remedies for years without getting
more than temporary relief at best.
Catarrh in general is a diseased condi-
tion of the system that shows locally
most frequently in discharges from
mucous membranes. Local treatment
should be assisted by internal treat
ment for the general diseased condi-
ton if a complete cure is to be reached.
That internal treatment should be
scientifically devised and faithfully ad-
ministered.
Rexal Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his speciality. This rem
edy is admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments Of
women. 1t purifes and enriches the
blood, tends to stop mucous discharges,
aids in removing impurities from the
system, soothes, heals and strengthens
the mucous tissues, and brings about a
feeling of health and strength.
We want you TO try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. II you are not
benefited, or for any reason not salts
fed, simply tell us and we will hand
back your money. Rexal Mucu-Tone
comes in two sizes, so cents and S1.00.
Remember you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies only at The Rexall Store. NJ. NJ.
