MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump-
ton. 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 mil
lions Of lives every year. Yet catarrh
may be cured, if the right treatment
is employed
Catarrh is caused by a general
diseased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and per-
haps serious local conditions. which
may prove a fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, SO
that the mucous membrane or in
ternal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the III
lection of consumption and other
diseases.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh speciality, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexal Mucu-Tone. We are so
positive that it will completely over
come catarrh in all it's various forms,
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where

township in order to get good crop
worth harvesting.
OF course these crops were obtained
by the intensive method and every acre
nf land will not respond as freely, but
it is certain that many acres can be
made to produce more if the modern
methods are used. Under the circum-
stances why should the young man of
New England heed the cry to go West
Opportunity is here not there.
I'VE have the soil, the climate and
the markets. said Mr. Bowker, I'VE
have the intelligence if only it is right
ly directed. In addition we have the
best roads and the best schools in the
country and far more social advanta-
ges than they have in the West. Why
should any man go West with all these
advantages in New England? One
thing we must do therefore. and that
is, stop decrying our own advantages
and speak up good and loud for New
England, it's farms. its institutions and
its possibilities.

A Perpetual Mayor?

The Democrats of Augusta have Sc
lected Col. Frederick w. Plaisted to
lead them in the municipal campaign
for the fifth consecutive time. there
by confessing to the people of this
city that they have but one man whom
they deem capable of filling the office
of mayor.
Col. Plaisted is man Of experience
in municipal affairs and brings
strength to the party-in fact he is the
strength of the local Democracy. He
was nominated in 1906 by the Demo-
Gratis and elected by Republican votes.
At the end of his first term in office
the claim was made that he had in
augurated various improvements and
that he should be given an opportunity
to finish them. The voters of the city
gave him that opportunity.
Al the end of his second term the
same claim was renewed and in ad-
dition it was urged that thesnovelty of
a sheriff mayor would bring certain
amount of publicity which would re-
dound to the advantage of the city. AT
the end of his term in the dual posi-
ton he was nominated for the fourth
time and was defeated by Mayor John
son. He now seeks further honors at
the hands of the citizens of Augusta,
though he has already been given
more political preferment in municipal
affairs than any other individual in
the history of the city
The Democratic organization through
its nomination of Col. Plaisted for the
fifth consecutive time not only asks
the citizens to endorse man party but
also is making the unusual request
that Augusta accept a perpetual may

The Opportunity Is Here.

William III, BoWker. trustee of the
Amherst, who is member of the COM
nittee on agriculture Of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, is busy telling
people that New England can raise as
large crops on each acre of land in
diligently cultivated as can any other
section Of the world. Mr.. Bowker
proves this by pointing to the 200 to
300 bushels an acre average yield of
potatoes in Names great potato coun-
ty; to the 1924 bushels of shelled dent
corn per acre raised by a Brockton
shoe cutter, and to other cases equally
marvellous.
He tells them that the Brockton shoe
cutter worked at the bench for $lS a
week and carried on small milk farm
and yet harvested within one bushel
of the yield which took grand prize at
the great national corn exposition held
at Omaha in December. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the best flint corn
shown at that great exposition was
raised in New buryport. Mass, by the
cashier of u Boston bank, who obtained
an average yield of more than 80 bu
shells of shelled corn per acre In the
prize contest for corn conducted in
New England for 1909, the yields ran
from 20 bushels to 1929 bushels for
each acre.
He tells the unbelievers of man
who raised Gil bushels of Green Noun
tain potatoes on an acre in Hope,
Maine. and OF the contest n which this
man won the prize where thirty con-
testants raised from 1861 to Gil bushels
on each acre These are only few Of

All mellow in its age;

The squirted persif1age.

On his hallroomward way;

Limited breathing capacity is one of
the most common physical Ills says
DR.. Jean Williams in Woman's Home
Companion for March. Poor breath
ers are found not only among the sick
of the earth, but also among the mod
erateiy well. All chronic invalids are
poor breathers. and it is quite likely
that they never would have been inva-
lids if they had been good breathers.
Now here is the connection between
good breathing and exercise In order
to be a good breather it is necessary to
have sufficient lung capacity. Suitable
exercise broadens and deepens the
chest gives freer capacity to the lungs
and better fits them for their impor-
tant task of supplying oxygen to the
