BURIAL ETHICS

change that he urges on the occasion
of the burial of the the dead.
When the religious service is over at
the grave, il should be the signal for
departure Of all save a special few,
who might wish to remain. Elsewhere
l have been accustomed TO seeing the
family and friends leave the cemetery
Immediately after the benediction was
pronounced. Everything after that
was left to the funeral director. This
rs the custom elsewhere and il should
prevail here for the reasons DIR. Duna-
way instances; il saves loved ones from
a narrowing experience, it protects the
health of the living, it avoids a need
less sacrifice of the officiating minister
! can testify to dangerous illness caused
by long waiting by grave till the un-
dertaker had smoothed it to his salts
faction i had hoped the ministers of
this town would publicly endorse what
has been urged by our wise and we'll
beloved DIR. Dunaway, and /, for one,
express the earnest, hope that a custom,
which prevails everywhere else will
obtain here, and that is, after the BODY
Is lowered into its resting place, a white
cover shall be thrown over the grave,
on it shall be placed the flowers, then
the religious service shall be performed
and Immediately thereafter the family
and friends will leave the cemetery.
In inclement weather a large fly should
be placed over the grave, keeping the
ground dry and under which minister
and family can stand and be protected
from snow and rain.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump-
tiOn-Many Unnecessary Deaths
From This Disease.

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady.
which, when neglected. paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the cost
of millions Of lives every year. Yet ca
tarrh may be cured. il the right treat
ment is employed.
Cstarrh is caused by n general dis
eased state Of the system which leads
commonly TO annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem
edles give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat ca
tarrh is by employing a medicine which
is absorbed and carried by the blood To
all parts of the system. so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining of the
body is toned up and made capable of
resisting the infection of consumption
and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from the
prescription of a physician who. for
thirty years studied and made catarr.'
a speciality. and whose record was a pa
tient restored 10 health in every cass
where his treatment was followed W
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall MucuA
Tone. We are so positive that il 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 Rexall Mucu-Tone on
our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes, 80 cents and 81. CO.
Very often the taking of one 50-cent
bottle is sufficient 10 make a mark ed

chronic cases a longer treatment is
necessary. The average in such in
stances is three $1.O0 bottles. Remem-

INFORMATION FOR THE AUTOIST

It IS occasionally necessary to fit in
a stud or remove il from some part Of
the motorcar mechanism. If pliers be
used they either damage the thread or
the plain part of the stud. If the stud
be tight and has to be removed it Is
often impossible to do this by means
of pliers. A better way is to use pair
of lock nuts, which are run on the top
side Of the stud thread and locked up
together, two spanners being used for
this purpose.
If the stud has to be removed the
bottom nut is then turned by the span
ner in a direction counter clockwise
when looking on the top Of the stud.
If the stud has to be frightened the top
nut must be turned in the clockwise
direction.
Another method that may be en-
ployed when fixing studs in place is to
use rather deep nut with set screw
Run a few threads of the set screw
into the nut, and then If the nut be
screwed on the top Of the stud and
held by spanner while the screw is
run down to lock it the stud may be
run into place by operating the set
screw in a clock wise direction.

CHAMPS SUFFER SETBACK.
Worlds Series Clubs Playing Freakish
Baseball This Year

Baseball This Year.
The Pittsburg Nationals and the De
troit Americans are furnishing as fine
an example of freak baseball as any
two teams could. Last season Pitts
burg won the championship with some
thing to spare, while Detroit did not
have much to worry about at the close
of the season. Then Pittsburg won the
worlds series after q great battle,
which certainly indicates that the two
clubs were the best in the country.
Without any change worth mentioning
in the lineups this year these two
teams are wabbling around in their re-
spective leagues. Adams, the star Of
the Pittsburg twirling staff and win
ner of the worlds series, has appar-
emily gone back completely and for no
reason whatever. He is young, takes
the best of care Of himself and at the
close of the worlds series looked to be
one of the greatest pitchers the game
has ever developed, with years Of use
fulness before him.
Other Pirate players looked to also
have at least few years of high speed
baseball in them. and the team should
have repeated this season, barring a
big Improvement in other clubs. De
uoit also looked to have the best
chance for the bunting in the Ameri-
can league Yet both teams have al
most collapsed. But all OF this is what
makes baseball so interesting that 1t
holds a big place in the hearts of the
fans from one year to the other.
