Advice to Women
A MESSAGE FROM A FAMOUS
BEAUTY SPECIALIST TO Wo-
MEN LACKING IN ENERGY
AND VITALITY.

Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remove blackheads, crows feet and
other blemishes through the use Of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be-
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from i'm
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of the whole sys-
tenn which finds its expression in sal
low, muddy complexion, dark-circled
eyes, general weakness of the system,
and perhaps most plainly in the weep
ing of mucous membranes that is com
monty called catarrh
In fact, this whole tendency Is, prop
erly speaking, catarrh. Danish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as il by magic, eyes will brighten,
faces become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one GER
tain treatment-that which will cure
catarrh.
Nine Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is RexalI Mucu-Tone. Here is
her letter:
II can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
are remarkable. 1t builds up the sys-
tenn and restores vitality. If women
who are tired and run down, lacking
in energy and vitality, will use Rexall
Mucu-Tone, they will praise as 1 do
it's strengthening and healing quail
ties
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the
blood, acting thus upon the mucous
cells-the congestion and inflammation
of which causes local catarrh. This
remedy causes poison to be expelled
from the system, and the blood Is puri-
fed and revitalized. Thus the natural
functions Of the mucous cells are re-
stored. and the membranes are cleans
ed and made strong. We know that
Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve catarrh.

Murder Jury Secured.-In a sudden
move IN the waving Of challenges by
the state, IN order to circumvent the
shortage efthe venire OF jurymen. upon
which the state andsthe defense in the
iNeibert atrial had to draw for the jury,
the case took on a new aspect, and
with the examining of C. F. L. Glen
ons, the last OF the venire, the jury
was selected. 1t is composed as fol-
lows: Joseph Altman, r. R No. 1,
Buffalo; Henry Barmetler, 12S West
Pleasant street; sF'erd Buegge. 72S Rip

r. r. No 8, Davenport. The selection
of the IL men to try the case precipi-
tates the taking of the evidence in
what promises to be one of the most
sensational cases tried in the local dis
trfct court In years. The case will be
taken up Immediately and will be con-
tinued without abatement until a YER
dict is returned. Had not the state
assumed the stand it had in waving
its rights to further peremptory chal-
lenges, it would have been necessary
to draw another venire and prolong
the trial several days.

leather workers report that Louis
Kaufman has acceded to their griev-
ance and signed the original demand
( that eight hours shall constitute a
days work with no reduction in wages
for week hands and an increase of Is
per cent on all prices for piece hands
At the present time all shops but two
in the city have signed the agreement.
These two shops have 20 of their en-
ployes on strike. The union expects
to within a very short time have all
the shops sign the agreement.

COTTON TO THE RESCUE.
October Import and Export Trade
Balance Turned.

Cotton again during October turned the
balance OF trade between imports and ex-
ports in favor of the latter, and put the
country, for the second time in recent
months, in the creditor column. Last
months cotton shipments were approxi-
mately 100000 bales. AT the low price
Of S72 a bale. thss value Of that export
able commodity was SS6, 100000. The bal
ance OF trade for October was SS4, ,1s9, ,337.
However defective the trade. balance
statement OF foreign commerce may be
as an index to financial and commercial
conditions, October's excess of exports
over imports OF SS4,1S9.937 Is a highly
gratifying turn for the better.
1t Is the highest excess of exports for
any month since January lS0S. Septem-
ber's excess of exports was S5l, ,571, ,S36,
while during August and July We had
two months of excess OF imports. Even
though imports for October were better
than the average, exports for that month
were so much in excess as to leave the
substantial balance referred TO. The to-
tai of Ss4, ,1S9, ,337 is more than one-third
OF the ten-month excess of exports over
imports. During this period the country
had five out of ten months OF balance of

little devils OF almost sarcastic clever

A case in point occurred not long ago
when duck hunter on the St. Lawrence
showered big coot with fine shot from

duck first attempted TO rise. but discov-

shot at the bird when it should come to

temperance of his game.
There were few ducks flying to OCCUPY

Another instance OF the straits TO which
a wounded duck will resort in evading

MAIDEN AUNTS PASSING.
Entry Into Business World Makes
Them Almost Extinct.

ALMOST
One OF the signs Of the times is the
passing of the maiden aunt In the good
old days there was always some ones
unmarried sister who could come IN and
help when the children had the measles
or when mother was called away. And
many were the happy homes where
''auntie" was always on hand, ready 10
darn stockings or hear spelling lessons.
"Auntie'' IT was who had the clever
ideas for children's parties and time to
help make fancy costumes; or. best OF
all. was willing % sit up late with father
when Dorothy had a caller.
With the entry OF women into business
life the maiden aunt Is becoming an al
most extinct species, mOurns the New
York Tribune. In her stead we have the
school-teacher. the clerk, the trained
nurse, the librarian-all economic factors
IN the community. No one would dare
suggest that the teacher help nurse
Bobby through the measles, or that a
stenogTapher take her small niece TO
dancing school every week. But the
maiden aunts time was at any ones
disposal.
Under the new system the unmarried
woman has not only her time TO herself,
but money of her own as well. Her
position in the family Is more assured,
and the small nephews look with more
respect upon auntie who has 10 go 10
business just as father does.
Indeed, all the advantages OF the new
system are for the maiden aunt. AS yer
there has been no social agitation 10 pity
