GERMS In FER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read this ADVICE
and the Generous Offer that Toes
With Ii.

The number of diseases peculiar
to women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain
mere mention of their names, and
it is fact that most of these dis
eases are of the catarrhal nature. A
woman cannot be we'll if there IS
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there IS no
help for them. We positively de-
clare this to be mistaken idea. We
are so sure of this that we offer to
supply medicine absolutely free OF
all cost in every instance where 1t
fails to give satisfaction, of 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 a 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 Temporal
nv relief at best. Catarrh in general
is a diseased condition of the system
that shows locally most frequently
in discharges from mucous mem
brances. Local treatment should
be assisted by internal treatment
for the general diseased condition
if a complete cure is to be reached.
That internal treatment should be
scientifically devised and faithfully
administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of
an eminent physician who for thirty
wears made catarrh his speciality.
This remedy is admirably adapted
to the treatment of the catarrhal
ailments of women. 1t purifies ard
enriches the blood, tends to stop
mucous discharges, aids in removing
impurities from the system, soothes,
meals and strengthens the mucous
tissues, and brings about a feeling
of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone en- our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason hot
satisfied, simply tell US and we viii
hand back your money. ReXall
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, so
cents and $1.0O. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies only at
The Rexall Store. E. T. White

UP WITH SiGN POSTSt

As our readers we'll know We have
| cen an advocate of sign-posts at
{ oss roads and where roads forks,
hut it seems there is very little being
done along this line. Not only this
hut every man ought to be required
i put his name on his mail box.
On the subject of sign-posts theChar-
lotte Observer in recent issue says:
Concerning concrete sign-posts
or public roads, a communication
rom DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State
peologist, together with an express
son by Southern Good Roads, directs
our attention to the further fact that
sign-posts of some description are
lrescribed under penalties by the
i ws of the State. In Bulletin of
the Southern Appalachian Good
loads Association, edited by DR..
Pratt, this enactment, found in Sec
ton 2.722, Revisal of 1905, is quoted
IS follows;
"Overseers shall cause to be set
u at the forks of their respective
Dads, post or posts, with arms
Uniting the way of each road, with
/ ain and durable directions to the
I ost public places to which they
l. id, and with the number Of miles
/ ON that place as near as can be
c. imputed; and after notice Of his
sopointment, neglect to do so and
t" keep the same in repair, shall for
1T and pay for every neglect ten
c.Ilars.' DR.. Pratt notes as a re-
'ettable fact that the law is at
! esent enforced only in Buncombe
unity. "This," he says, lis a sub
ct in which the geological survey
IS been trying for some time to IL

FLOPED TO CLYDE
n-Year- Old Daughter of Rock
Lake Farmer Elopes-Father
Breaks Up Nuptials.

Circumstances were many incident to
the marriage of II. W. Hall of the state
of Oklahoma and Miss Nellie Mark,
daughter of prominent farmer near
Rock Lake, and before the couple we're
finally welded they had been searched
for by the officials on a charge OF horse
stealing as we'll as having numerous
other exciting experiences. 1t appears
that Miss Mark was attending school
about eight miles from Rock Lake and
met her Alliance by appointment on the
road from her home to Clyde where they
were married, not returning to Rock
Lake, where they had hired the horses
until the following day. In the mean
time the authorities of Rock Lake had
been searching for Hall on charge of
horse stealing but on an explanation
from him this was dismissed. The next
trouble was experienced when they
arrived in Devils Lake and were taken
IN charge on a complaint made by the
girls father who claimed that he had
not been consulted with reference to
the marriage and as the girl was only
sixteen years of age he had a right to
object Criminal prosecution may be
pushed against Hall.

TEACHER GOES INSANE
Former Harvey Teacher Creates Big
Sensation at Portage la Prairie
Goes to Asylum

Last Fridays state daily papers con-
tanned in their telegraphic news columns
the item printed below and upon inquiry
it is apparent that the party in question
is Miss Gertrude G.. Cutler, who was
engaged in teaching one of the Harvey
township schools during 1905. Miss
Cutler was young lady of rare educa-
tional attainments and during the year
she taught in Harvey was highly
thought of by the families of the child
rem attending school.
Portage La Prairie, Man, Dec. 8-Miss
G. e. Cutler, school teacher from
Cavalier county, created a sensation
here this morning by parading the
street with her night dress over her
arm while every other vestige of her
clothing was missing. She started out
from her boarding house in this condi-
ton while the thermometer was IA below
zero with gentle zephyr blowing from
the northwest. She had gone three
blocks in this condition before man in
a sleigh saw her and after struggle
persuaded her to cover her loins with
an old wheat bag. In this condition he
took her to the police station where she
explained that God had called upon her
to do his bidding. She is said to be
suffering from religious dementia and
will be sent to the insane asylum.

PERE lARlvIERE DEAD
Olga's Well Known Centenarian
Breathed His Last Monday
Funeral Yesterday.

Louis Lariviere, the Olga centenarian,
whose Tooth anniversary of his birthday
was most tittingly celebrated by the
people of that vicinity last March, died

the virgin prairie of the Northwest from
Minnesota west to the Rocky Mountains
in his younger days and was one of the
party of French voyageurs sent by the
Hudson Bay Company into the then un.
explored farthest north of Alaska half a.
century ago. His passing away was en-
tlrely due to the decay of an advanced
old age, as during his long life OF hard
ship and exposure he was proud to claim
freedom from sickness and disease He
was born at st. Philippe, Man, March
9Th, 1870 Six of his nine sons and
daughters survive him residing in North
Dakota and Manitoba, and 1T is recalled
that at the celebration Of his one hun
dredth birthday at Olga last March,
there sat with him at the banquet table
over one hundred of his direct decend-
ants to the fourth generation. Had he
lived until Thursday of next week he
would have been enabled to make final
proof upon homestead upon which he
filed few years ago in the western part
of this county near Clyde. Last week
when his approaching dissolution be
came apparant his ante mortem state
ment regarding the making of proof or
the claim and disposition of his Other
earthly affairs were attended to in lega
form by his friend Judge Dorval.
The funeral beld yesterday at ter
o'clock was attended by large number
as mark of respect to the high regart
in which Grandpa Larviere was held b,
the people among whom he had livet
during the greater part of the last hall
of Il century.
