80 Years of Success
John Coughlin Offers a Remedy for
Catarrh. The Medicine Costs Moth.
ing If II Fails.

When a medicine effects snc-
cessful treatment in very large
majority of cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own
personal guarantee that it will cost
the user nothing If it does not COM
pletely relieve catarrh, it is only
reasonable that people should be-
lleVe u.s. or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we take
all the risk. These are facts which
we want the people to substan-
tiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared
from prescription of a physician
with whom catarrh was a specially.
and who has record of thirty
years of enviable success to his
record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we
do of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and if more people
only knew what a thoroughly de-
pendable remedy Rexall Mucu-
Tone is, it would be the only catarrh
remedy We would have any demand
for.
INeAdiI Mucu- L one is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucous membraneous tract.
to destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous
tissues, to soothe the irritation
and heal the soreness, stop the
mucous discharge. build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve the blood
and system of diseased matter.
It's influence is toward stimulating
the muco-cells. aiding digestion
and improving nutrition until the
whole body vibrates with healthy
activity. In comparatively short
time it brings about q noticeable
gain in weight. strength. good color
and feeling of buoyancy
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, beginning a treatment today.
AT any time you are not satisfied
simply come and tells us, and we
will quickly return your money
without question or bubble. We
have ReXall Mucu-Tone in two sizes.
80 cents and $1.00. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Au-
gusta only at our store,-The Rexall
store. John Coughlin.

FARMERS LINES,
Organized Effort To Use Telephone
For Capture of Criminals.

Spokane, Wash. Feb. 1S-Farmers.
ranchers, orchardists and residents in
every settlement in Spokane county
have been enlisted in the service Of
Sheriff Fred Mex. Pugh to capture
lawbreakers. The bailiwick has been
so thoroughly organized that it is al
most impossible for criminal to es-
cape, the purpose being to reduce

and property.
The plan. perfected by Thomas f.
ffeddle, office deputy, consists of a
map of all the suburban and farmers
private telephone lines in the county
with more than 1900 instruments. ex-
elusive of $4,000 instruments in
Spokane and an Independent system
with 10000 phones to be completed in
June. If crime is committed in the
city or in an outlying district the
sheriff will be able to communicate
with persons near the scene. advising
them to be on the lookout in the event
the lawbreaker escapes.
len thousand residents in various
parts of the county have entered into
an alilance with Sheriff Pugh and the
telephone companies will cooperate
with the officials in placing clear
llnes' at their disposal by day and by
night. The sheriff has also received
oHeas from scores of farmers and
stock-raisers in adjoining counties to
cooperate with him in his work of an
prehendlng wanted persons, and it is
oeleVed this will have the effect of
reducing crime to the lowest point.
The people of Spokane county ar,
laW-abiding and they are in favor of
enforcing the laws" said Sheriff
