THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Proven
ton of Coughs and
Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system. the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal con-
dition of the mucous membrane, which
is an internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened ii becomes
easily infected with germs which
cause manv of the diseases to which
flesh is heir Healthy mucous mem
branes are essential safeguards of
the bodys general health.
We have remedy which we
honestly believe to be unsurpassed in
excellence for the prevention OF
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. 1t is the prescription of a
famous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of thirty years of cures
gained through the use of this form
ula. We promise to make no charge
for the medicine should it fail to do
as we claim. We urge everyone who
has need of such a medicine to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone.
IT stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness OF
our claim in every particular, and we
see no reason why any one should
hesitate to accept our offer and try
it. We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-
Tone. prices so cents and $1.0o, Some
times a so cent bottle is sufficient to
give marked relief AS general
thing the most chronic case is reliev
ed with an average of three large
bottles. You can obtain Rexall Rem.

where the governments own the lines,
our plan involves a proportionate re-
duction in the land line rates charged
by the European governments and
hence the cooperation of those gov
ernments will be necessary. At pres
ent the cable rate is twenty-five cents
per word. The proposed plan is to
charge twelve and a half cents for
every five letters in that class of
cablegrams. We have found by care
full investigation and examination of 4
great number Of cable messages that
plain language averages only five
letters to the word and hence if we
charge only twelve and a half cents
for five letters (ev ry letter in the
cablegram being counted as though
the cablegram was one world the re-
suit would be that the public in send
ing cablegrams would pay but one

put the plan into operation in q
short time, it being necessary first to

this new mode of charging for cable
grams will be of decided advantage
also to the business public which uses
a code inasmuch as it will be an in
! ducement to them to put portion al
least of their cablegrams in plain
language rather than use a very
1 complicated code which requires 9
4 great deal of time on their part first
to code and then to uncode. After

study of the whole subject, we are
satisfied that this new method OF

Government Fleet Made
Wonderful Progress.

The general cry of all steamboat
owners along the Mississippi river is
for deeper landings Many at the
present time are in need of eXcava
ton. A clear channel and q smooth
landing adds years to the existence of
boat, and will have 4 tendency to
lessen the many wrecks which gener-
ally originate from the boats striking
unknown obstacles accumulated, eth
Ell in the channel or at the landings
At a recent waterways convention
held in st. Louis the principle sub
ject discussed was the present condi-
lions of the boat landings, both in the
northern and southern districts, while
the landings in the southern districts
are in far better condition than those
in the north. 1t was then and there
1 agreed by the northern steam
boat owners to make a plea TO the
government, to have the dredge fleet
stationed at various points, and inn
mediately commence work on the
necessary improvements, which are
supposed to begin this spring.
Capt. Walter Blair, president of the
Carnival City Packet company, with
headquarters in Davenport, pc
| titioned for clear landing
at that city in 1908 and
work on the landing was started
at once, but during the last two years
it has been neglected. and the captain
| stated when last questioned that sew
| eral times he had hired men at mis-
/ own expense to clear the landing at
| Davenport and make it available for
his boats to anchor at this city with
out fear of danger
If this move for clear landings and
a deep enough channel is maintained
4 in connection with a navigable stage
4 of water the steamboat transfer on
these waters would rapidly increase
and be one of the chief means for
/ transportation.

Mastering the Dread Typhoid by Vaccination


typhoid. as in the others. is isolation of
the patient This scheme works and
makes determination possible in most
diseases, but Is hardly effective in the
case Of typhoid. The difficulty here lies
in the fact that the patient recovering
from an attack may or may not become
entirely free from the disease.
Three persons in a hundred who have
had typhoid do not throw it entirely out
of the system. They apparently recover.
but the germs remain In their systems,
and their associates are constantly men,
aced. The occasional chronic carrier of
typhoid is the element that keeps the
disease always with us. From this indi-
Vidual the disease may break out at any
point at any time; for there are and al
ways will be people who handle the food
the effects Of others without first
washing their hands. The unwashed
hands of housemaids and housekeepers
result in the death of thousands Of PEG.
pie every year.
There is the case of Typhoid Mary
in New York She was cook in many
households. Wherever she went typhoid
followed in her wake. She had suffered
from the disease many years ago and the
germs persisted in her system. They got
into the food of the families In which she
worked for it is suspected that Mary
was not overzealous as to cleanliness.
In the end she was tested for the germs,
found to possess them. and isolated.
There are thousands of Typhoid
Marys' running about the country. Some
member of your household, a neighbour a
servant may be carrier of the diseas Sc.
1t Is because of these that the complaint
crops out year after year in many places
But for this it could be put to rout The
army surgeons have applied the test to
thousands of individuals selected at ran
dom, and in or 3 per cent the menace
has been found.
If the Typhoid Marys'' were careful as
to cleanliness they would no longer be a
menace. But they are not careful and
therefore the body polite must protect it
self against them The Army Medical
School is demonstrating that this may be
done through vaccination.
Then there is the brand-new phase of

Carefully carted away to a cold-storago

reasons: One Is that they may be safely
out OF harms way while the interior OF

is that they may not be subjected to the

enemy's fire. When the man from the

danger that he faces. The people from
the cities who go into the country in the
summer are generally of the educated
seeking health benefit. 1t is expected
that these will be the next to offer them
selves for vaccination. When they do
the multitude of disease that results from
this journeying into the country will be
largely done away with.

The people who go habitually into the
south. into the tropics, into the rural dis
tricts for business. should soon resort to
vaccination and probably will There is
the great rural population which is habit
ually the source of infections. and arous-
ing those to the needs Of the new treat
ment is the greatest of tasks.
Typhoid is a contagious disease and
transmits itself from one person to an
other. This. however, must be through
an actual contact usually through per-
son whose hands have come in contact
with the germs handling the food of other
persons. When there Is in the family or
the neighborhood a person suffering from
typhoid the germs that the body Of that
person gives of may enter the water
supply. the milk of the neighborhood, the
food of the family. The hands that nurse
the patient, for instance. may wash the
dishes. In this way the disease Is trans
mitted.
In most contagious diseases a similar
principle exists. The rational system in
