Millions of
Lives Lost
AN AWFUL TOLL COLLECTED BY
CONSUMPTION. MANY UN-
NECESSARY DEATHS FROM
THIS DISEASE.

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal di-
sease 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 catarrh may be cured, If the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general di-
seased 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
cdies give but temporary 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
made capable Of resisting the infec-
tion of consumption and other diseas-
cs.
We have n remedy prepared from
the prescription of q physician who
for thirty years studied and made

record was patient restored TO health

followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rcxall Mucu-Tone. We are so
positive that it will completely over

whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid

Pete Lister Mentioned as Likely
Successor to Tom Jones on

CHANGE 70 STRENGTHEN TEAM

There is every reason to believe that
the Detroit baseball club will carry
for two months more, its present total
of four first basemen, with possible
chance that there will be three of
them on the club for the greater part
of the season. Tom Jones, Pete Lister
John Ness and George Simmons com
prise the quartet, the last mentioned
being also a third baseman of con-
siderable promise.
That Jennings regards the sack as
the danger point on the Tiger defens,
is obvious from the manner i'm which
he is proceeding to select the man h,

Pete is unquestionably the hes

RIVAL TRAINERS TO MEET
SOON ON EASTERN TRACKS

With the near at hand departure of
keene Fitzpatrick for Princeton, the
east awaits with expectancy the in
evitable battles between the two
greatest track coaches in America
Fitz and Mike Murphy.
Since the advent OF Mike Murphy
at Pennsylvania, in 1897 the red and
blue has made a record on the track
superior to that of any other uni
versity in America. During these 10
years Pennsylvania has won the inter-
collegiate championship five times. as
against three wins each for their
nearest rivals, Yale and Cornell and
two wins for Harvard.
Murphy An Ex-Sprinter.
Mike Murphy's record has been little
short Of marvellous. Up to 1891 Mike
was professional Splinter, who could
| do 100 yards i'm 10 seconds. In that
/ year he retired from running and
became trainer of the Detroit Athletic
club, where he had considerable sue
cess. In 1898 he went to Yale. and
/ four years in succession old Eli won
the intercollegiate track championship.
In 1897 Murphy shifted to PennsyIvan-
Ia, and for four years straight the red
and blue came in first, making a rec
ord of eight successive victories for
Murphy.
In 1901 Murphy went back to Yale.
That year he only brought the new

but in 1902, 1903 and 1904 Yale again
came out in front. In 1905 Cornell
nosed out the Ellis for victory. and the
next year Murphy came to Phladel-
phia. The red and blue took second
place that year, and 1907 again won
the championship. In 1908 Pennsyl-
vania was barely beaten out by Cor

Mir Knox informs the public that l re- quested him to reply to certain arguments made in opposition to the adoption Of the constitution. It Is more than prob- able that this is correct. He ought to remember, however, that there were other able men in that convention who spoke in support of the constitution. It is highly probable that I requested and congrat- ulated them all, for they were able men and delivered able addresses None, however, save MT. Knox has ever claimed that their addresses put put me under personal obligation for such service. knew the mind of that convention, had received personal assurances that the re- port of the committee would be adopted. I had In view two main objects, one was to secure as nearly unanimous vote as possible and the other was to furnish the public in advance all the information necessary to perfect understanding of the main provisions of the constitution, SO as to secure favorable judgment and sue cessful adoption when the constitution was submitted to a vote of the people. There were many personal friends also who wanted to record their views upon the pending proposition. I gave every one such opportunity as far as the time allotted to me for discussion would per- nit Judge Walker, Gregg Smith, Dr. Cunningham and host of others deliv- cred very fine arguments. It gave me much more pleasure to listen to them than to speak myself. and I doubt not was more effective in satisfying the public mind.
 Mir Knox again refers to Talleyrand and Briareus. I think be has become even more muddled than before, and has forced a conclusion precisely the opposite of that intended. He certainly declared that Senator Bankhead was the falleyrand of Ala bama." There was no qualification whatever of this intended reflection upon
 the senator No one from reading the ar ticle would ever conclude that the pur-
 pose for which the likeness was invoked
 was to present Talleyrand in the light of
 his better qualities and better attain
 ments, but to demean and detract from
 Senator Bankhead's character by calling attention to Talleyrand's vices. There could possibly have been no other pur- pose. After enumerating these vices, cor ruption, trickery and immortality, I called upon MT. Knox to present his proof of their applicability to the character of Senator Bankhead. In his last MT. Knox expresses his arrangement" that I should
 have drawn such an inference, and de- clares that he never thought of such an injustice It follows logically, as certain ly as the day follows the night, that if Mir Knox is sincere he must have intend ed to direct attention to the better quail | ties of Taleyrand, and thus bring into view likeness as to his statesmanship and skill as & diplomat.

This is all well, but in this democratie government of ours the pub lie has Imposed such a confscatory tax upon the collateral inheritance of glory that none is left for the next collateral kin. Only tho ancestral hero himself and his lineal descendants can claim the glory of the active veteran. Tn addition to all of his other de- serts in these respects MT. Bankh ead's claims are far in advance of Mir. Knox.

The brief summary of the play states. "Chanticleer, the hero Is
