WHERE BIG MONEY CROPS GROW
Viroqua Man Returns From Tobacco Sec
lions of Connecticut and New York

On Sunday Mr.. Frank P. Mcintosh
returned from three weeks in the east
in the interest of the tobacco firm
which he represents. He went to in
spect the crops in New York and pro-
ductive Connecticut, the latter the most
remunerative tobacco section in the
United States. Mr.. Mcintosh says he
saw more of the weed in days ride
than ne could inspect in a week in Yer
non county. They grow the heavier
varieties, some of which sell for 35
cents in the bundle, while our variety
of cigar wrapper leaf commands there
IL to 10 cents. He declares that an
average of $50 per acre is used in artifi-
cial fertilizers in Connecticut.
The Edgerton Reporter has this to
say about Wisconsin tobacco affairs:
Wisconsin seems to be about the only
cigar leaf producing state which falls
behind in its annual product la 1910,
and while the decrease shows only
about seven million pounds according to
government estimates, the acutal fall
ing off in binder supply cuts an import
ant figure in the manufacturing trade.
The acreage In this state has been con.
tinually dropping away for several
years past, nor do the other binder
states make up the deficiency to any
great extent, so if the decline is con.
tinued it is only question of a short
time when the market will be strictly
up against it. providing the output OF
manufactured goods holds to the pres.
ent rate of increase. The outlook for
Wisconsin growers the coming season
to secure good prices were never more
promising than at the present time.
The boards have been swept clean Of
ali old goods, the cigar factories are
continually increasing their output and
the call for good binder leaf must con-
tinue to be pretty strong for few
years to come. The time Is right now
to think about raising more tobacco in
this state, rather than to cut down the
acreage. The suggestion is put out
this early so our readers may watch de-
velopments and note how near our pro-
phecy comes true.

Germs in
Her System
Every Woman Should Read
this Advice and the Gen
erOus Offer that
Goes With 1t.

The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, and it is fact
that most of these diseases. are of a
catarrhal nature. A woman cannot
be well if there is trace of eatarrh 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 medi-
cine absolutely free of all cost in every
instance where it fails to give salts
faction, or does not substantiate our
claims. With this understanding, no
woman should hesitate to believe our
honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to test.
There is only one way to 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 condition of the system that
shows locally most frequently in dis
charges from mucous membranes. Lo-
cal treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis
eased condition If complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treatment
should be scientifically devised and
faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tono is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his speciality. This rem
Eedy is admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments of wo-
men. 1t puriies and enriches the blood,
tends to stop mucous discharges. aids
in removing impurities from the sys-
ten, 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. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
saticsed, simply tell US and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Mucu-
Tone comes in two sizes, so cents and
S1.00. Remember, you can obtain Rex
all Remedies only at-The Rexall Store.
