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
maady, which, when neglected
payes the way ortentimes for con
sumption, at the cost OF millions 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
perhaps serious local conditions.
which may prove a fertile breeding
ground for germs of consumption.
External remedies give but TEN
porary 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 inter-
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable Of resisting the infect
ion of consumption and other diseas-
es.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied, and made
catarrh a speciality, and whose rec
ord was a patient restored to health
I'm every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed That
remedy is ReXall Mucu-Tone We
are so positive that it will completely
overcome catarrh in all its various
forms, whether acute or chronic, that
we promise to return every penny
paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason
does not satisfy the user
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone in two siz-
es, 80 cents and $1.OO. Very often
the taking of a 50-cent bottle is
sufficient to make a marked impress
sion upon the case OF course in
chronic cases a longer treatment is
necessary. The average in such in
stances is three $l.00 bottles. Re
member you can obtain Rexall Rem.
edies in Bennington only at our store,

The AnpIan WAY.

The famous Appian Way was con-

trenches three feet in depth. at the
bottom of which were placed two lay.

which were placed large, fat blocks
Of smooth lava well Joined together,

the construction of this celebrated
road that it still exists In places as

His Second Thouaht.

A politician named Blank got place
for a clerk during one of the sessions
of the Legislature of his state. The
clerk was very grateful, says the Sat.
urday Evening Post. At the end of
the session he came around to Blank
and said: Mr. Blank, | want to tell
you how much | am Indebted to you
for your kindness in getting me the
place | have had. 1t meant more to
me, Mr.. Blank. than you may think.
thank you from the bottom of my
heart. Also want to say. Mr.. Blank,
that II there ever comes time when |
can do anything for you-anything at
all-you are to command me. | will do
anything you may ask me to do. | am
at your service"
Blank thanked the man. and he
started to go. AS he reached the door
he turned and said, "Of course, Mr..
Blank. would prefer that it should be
something honorable"

His Unlucky Day.

Even the least superstitious are often
struck by the misfortunes which at.
tend some persons on certain dates. a
large firm in the city has in its en-
ploy living instance of the fact. On
June IL an employee lost his left arm
by coming in contact with mac hinery.
The accident disabled him for his then
employment, and he was given that
of messenger On another June IL
he was run over in the Strand while
on an errapd. Result, a broken leg
The next accident was a fall on the
stairs in the firms buildings-again
June 12-the right arm broken this
time. The fourth mishap on another
anniversary broke three ribs. The
firm took the case into considera ton
and issued an order that in future the
employee was to take a holiday on
that date, an order with which he has
now complied for several years.-Lon-

Hs Was Not In the coIored Porter's
Hall of Eame.

A southerner noted for the liberality
Of his tips stopped ut Baltimore ho-
tel where negro porters predominated.
His name was speedily known to every
member Of the serving fraternity and
his every wish anticipated. Soon after
his arrival he sent his card to friend
who made his home in the hotel, but
whose temperament happened to be
quite the opposite of that Of his open
handed caller-retiring, not given to
tipping or any other form of socia-
biNty and who therefore lived almost
unknown to those about him.
The old darky who received the card
studied 1t for full minute.

THE SETTING SUN.
Whom Vulcan Sailed II Round the
Ocean So II Could Rise Again.

Whom Vulcan Sailed II Round the
Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought to explain the
rising and setting Of the sun. They
thought the earth to be fat and were
greatly puzzled TO know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
ly great distance in the east. A num-
ber of remarkable theories were ad-
vapced, and every one of them was
wrong.
Mythologists of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped in the west
ern ocean at sunset Ghe lberians and
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged thereInl he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in a golden goblet
This strange craft, with its astonishing
cargo, navigated the ocean by a north
erly course so as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the follow
ing morning.
Among the more sober physicists OF
old. as related by Aristotle. it was be-
lieved that in some manner the sun
was conveyed by uight across the
northern regions and that darkness
was due to mountains which screened
of the sunbeams during the voyage.

OSTRICH BATTLES.
The Great Birds, as Strong as Horses,
Box With Their Feet


Ostriches battle for supremacy with
as much ferocity as stays, bulls, buf.
faloes and other animals. An ostrich
fight is amusing. inasmuch as II
amounts practically to boxing match
with the feet, wherein the combatants
lightly dance around each other.
There is, however, this difference-if
any human boxer could hit as hard
with his hands as can an ostrich with
its feet the championship would be
decided by Il single blow. In sparring
the ostrich stands ON one foot, with
the other foot and the wings raised,
the bill wide open and the neck dis
tended. He strikes with the force of
a trip hammer
Sometimes on an ostrich farm a
mixup, in which event ii is not infre-
quently the case that the human
emerges from the scrap with broken
leg, arm or head.
Under modern training an ostrich
equals a horse in power and indeed
can perform many of the stunts"
whereof his equine colleague is capa-
BILE. In one respect, however, he ex-
GELS the horse. for by the aid of its
wings the ostrich can leave behind
the swiftest running thoroughbred. In
harness an ostrich has at Hot Springs.

evidence; that was not the point. There
may be evidence enough. but wherein

question and finally said to myself,

What West Point Does For Its cadets

What West Point does for its cadets
is precisely this: 1t takes its youth at
the critical period of growth; 1t iso-
lates them completely for nearly four
years from the vicious influences that
corrupt young manhood and from the
atmosphere of commercialism; it pro-
vides absorbing employment for both
mental and physical activities; it sur
rounds them with exacting responsible
tiles, high standards and exalted ira
ditions of honor and integrity, and it
demands rigid accountability for
every moment of their time and for
every voluntary action. 1t offers them
the inducements of an honorable ca
reer and sufficient competence as a
reward of success. and it has impera.
tive authority for the enforcement of
its conditions and restraints.-Colonel

zine.

Authorization,

Lieutenant Shackletoh tells how
when in the antarctic wastes he and
his companions sustained their spirits
and their bodies as well when sup
plies had to be cut down to a mini
mum by dwelling upon the glorious
eating they would have ON returning
TO headquarters The value of such
mental sustenance has long been rec
ognized by up to date commanders
There was the German officer in the
war Of 1870 who sustained the flag
ging spirits and weary legs OF his men
by shouting: There is brewery in
side that town, Let us get there be-
fore anybody else." History relates
that the men did get there with re-
markable speed. Equally shrewd was
that Japanese commander in the Man
churian war who, seeing his men ex-
hausted with thirst and knowing full
well the wonderful properties of picked
plums, cried out. Two miles from here
there is forest Of plums." The an
dcipated plums went far to relieve
their parched mouths.
