The charge against Wells is a most
unusual one. 1t embraces two points
first that of cruelty to his wife in
beating. her and whipping her with a
horse whip, and, second, in tying the
hands and feet of his infant child, after
being stripped naked, and then hold
ing a horsewhip over his wife, COM
pelllng her to pour molasses on the
back of the defenseless child so that
the flies could gather there and torment

been fixed.
The petit jury appeared Monday aft
ernoon and the retrial of the case of
Alexander against Crosby was COM
menced. This case was tried in 1907 and
a verdict was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff. This was reversed by the SUI
preme court and the case is now being
tried again. The action is founded on
alleged damages growing out of a rum
away which the plaintiff says was

CAUSES DEBILITY
Here Are Facts Backed Up BY a
Strong Guarantee.


Catarrh cause debility. In our opin-
Ion, most people suffering from general
debility have catarrh. Such cases of
debility can not be completely cured
by medicine not designed to eradicate
catarrh. In every case where our rem
edy fails to give entire satisfaction we
will not charge a cent for the medicine
employed during the trial. Now, surely
no one should hesitate to believe us or
ito put our claim to a practical test
under such conditions. !. We will take
all the risk; no one else can lose any
thing by the transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved. that Rexall Mucu-
Tone rarely fails to do as we claim. 1t
is not cureall prescribed to cure ev-
cry disease that flesh is heir to. 1t is
intended for~one purpose, i. e., to cure
catarrh by assafling the diseased condi-
ttion in a reasonable, scientific way,
which is to employ agents that have
been found to have the tonic and VAL
terative power to correct faulty meta
Ibolism Tissue change) and to slim
nllate and help nature overcome the
cause or causes of catarrh. This being
done. appetite increases, nutrition i'm
proves, weight is gained, comfort of
body is attained and life's work taken
up with the zest natural to the perfect
ly healthy individual.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone. Follow directions and take it
regularly and consistently for a rea-
sonable length of time. Then, if you
are not satisfied, come back and tell us
and the money you paid Tor the treat
ment will be returned without any
argument whatever.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two
sizes, soc and $500 a bottle. Sold only

from the platform of Jeff where the
Jefferson creamery people have been
accustomed to leave the butter for
