edy at Our Risk.


Catarrh Is n disease of the mucous
membrane, The mucous membrane Is.
one may say, the interior lining of the
body, Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part OF the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and na.
ture fails to throw Off the accumulate
ed poisons The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform It's proper
function as nature intended II should.
The result is, complication upon com.
plicntlon. which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexal Mucu.
Tone will do wonders toward over.
coming catarrh. II Is made from the
prescription OF an eminent physician
who made long study OF catnrrh, and
his great success with this remedy was
an enviab.p one.
We want you II you are sufferer
from c0turrh In any form. to give
lIeXall MucuTonc n thorough trial,

not satisfied. come back aud tell us.

vii hand back 10 you every cent you

offer that any one could make and
should attest our sincerity OF pur.
pose. II comes In two sizes, prices
30 cents and 800. Remember you can
obtain 1t only at-The Rexall Store.

CHINESE DEPORTED

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. S.-As a re-
suit of inquiries made at the depart
ment of trade and commerce it is
learned that the inquiry recently held
into Chinese immigration frauds has
been closed for the time being and
that Chinese now held under deten-
tion at Vancouver are to be deport-
ed because they failed to establish
their status as Chinese merchants.
1t is announced, however, that the
question of immigration will be taken
up later by royal commission,
which will be given full power to in
vestigate all immigration affairs and
look into the opium trade.

Pleasure and Sacrifo.

An alert little flve-year-old was visit
Ing n city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through in the morning.
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have n ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry OF the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to 20 ut all and, as her mother urged
her, broke forth In tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying: Come along! Come
along! Ride clear round the pond.
