Millions of
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption. Many Unnec-
essary Deaths from
this Disease.
this Disease.

If people could only understand
hat systematic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications
cannot 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 dis
eased state of the system which leads
COMMONLY to annoying and perhaps
aserious local conditions, which may
prove fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External
remedies 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 in
ternal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
lection of consumption and other dis
eases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for 80 years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
Is ReXall Mucu-Tone. We are so pos
tive that it win 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 Rexail
Mucu-Tone in two sizes, so cents and
S1.00. Very often the taking of one
5O-cent bottle is sufficient to make a
marked impression upon the case. OF
course in chronic cases longer treat
ment Is necessary. The average in
such instances is three S1.00 bottles.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Rock Island only at our
store-the Rexall store. The Thomas
Drug company.

BOAT THAT WILL
Be RIVER IMPETUS
One That Can Navigate on In
land Streams and Deep Seas
Has Been Invented.
SOON TO BE IN COMMISSION
For More Than 20 Years st. LOuisan
Has Devoted Himself to Its
Perfection.

A vessel designed TO operate both
ON the high seas and on inland rivers
has been invented and is just now
being brought to perfection by John F.
Cahill, well known ST. Louisan, and
plans for the construction ola pioneer
boat after Mr.. Cahill's models are eX-
pected to mature at an early date.
/ Extraordinary light draft, combined
with large tonnage, seaworthiness,
safety and speed, are claimed for the
new boat by its inventor, and that it
possesses these qualities IS vouched
for by some notable authorities on
shipping construction.
Coming, as it does, at a~time when
inland waterways trafic is a subjec'
attracting national attention, the in
vention is one of exceptional interest.
With such a vessel placed in commits
sion, Mr.. Cahill promises freight and
passenger traffic from ST Louis. or
other inland cities on the larger
streams, to interior points on the
great rivers OF South America, or eise-
where, without the necessity of a
transfer of cargo or passengers at deep
water ports.
Small Fortune in Experiments.
For more than 20 years Mr.. Cahll
has devoted himself to the perfection
of this type of vessel, and during that
time has spent a small fortune in ex-
perimenting, improving and perfecting
his ideas. Thirty years of experience
with the Latin-American people and
trade have convinced him that the use
Of the Mississippi and other rivers is
the only means the United States has
for successfully competing with
Europe and other countries for the
great and growing trade that his judg-
ment in this regard finds ample JUS
uecation in the present inland water
ways demands, now that the Panama
canal is nearing completion.
As q basis OF his invention, Mr.. Ca
h.Ii's new ocean river boat is designed
10 carry { maximum of tonnage on a
3 i-,1auTn of draft. To effect this the
:.a2s involve a reversal of most of the
I'll ideas of beam proportionate TO
length, the proportion being ESQ feet
ty Is feet. with nodded depth of %
feet. Above the main deck the yes
sells construction is of unique shape,
gradually tapeTfng to the upper deck
10 one-half the beam width. The hull
approximates to a fiat bottom.
Advantage on Rivers.
Experience in navy demonstrations
shows that with a fiat bottom a light
draught vessel can be driven with
great speed and less mower than deem
draught ships of the same displace-
ment. This with double twin adjusta-
Die propellers, with special device for
shoal water navigation, gives great ad-
vantage in rivers with numerous bends

and permits the vessel to turn in it's
own length.
The low center of gravity afforded
by the peculiar. shape of the. hull and
upper work construction is further
added to by a series of adjustable
keels. in sections, which are so con-
structed that they can be dropped 70
four or more feet below the bottom
of the hull at a moments notice, and
are held rigidly in strongly built case
ments whenever more stability is
needed at sea. When navigating shall
low rivers, crossing bars and in other
shoal waters, the adjustable keels can
be quickly drawn up in watertight
compartments, occupying only a small
space lengthwise in the hull.
1000 Tons Capacity.
For shallow waters in the MISSISSIPPI
pi or other rivers, the capacity of the
vessel is estimated at 1000 tons on an
eight-foot stage and over 1000 tons
on a 12-foot stage. The latter depth
Is available from ST. Louis to the gulf
during seven or eight months of each
year. in the present condition of the
river, and the eight-foot channel at all
times, according to the best authority
the United States government engi-
neers.
For II years Mr.. Cahill was consul
for Mexico at st. Louis and editor OF
Ell Comerico del Vale, a publication
to promote trade between Mexico,
South and Central America and the
United States. In 1872 he engaged In
~,
but his business was confiscated by
the Spanish government. He now has
q claim for about $3.50. 900 pending n
Washington against Spain. For a great
many years he has devoted all his
time to the perfecting of this ocean
going vessel. which, in his opinion will
solve the problem Of shallow water
navigation.

The longer | remained IN Berlin and

that the best place for an American

American teacher who knows how TO

the musical atmosphere of Berlin.
there would be no need Of Americans
to go abroad to study music. In Ber-
lin, and the same Is true- of other
European musical centers, the native
teachers do not give the best of their
art to Americans. They think the
American lacks culture anyway. or
course, the American girl herself Is
much to blame for the general situa-
ton. She goes abroad with limited
financial backing and wants to be-
come great singer in six months or
year. II a teacher Is really con-
scientious with her and tries to work
from the ground up the pupil thinks
she Is wasting time because the pyro-
technical showing is-not there. The
American music student abroad will
cheerfully pay an inferior foreign
teacher double or even Quadruple per
lesson what she would give much
superior teacher at home. But the
American Is beginning to find out the
truth about many things abroad, with
the result that IL Is the American

Mrs. Peocock has standing offer
from Herr Jacques 6tucksold, Of Mu-

future to go to Munich for a prolonged
stay to become associated with this
famous instructor and TO do concert
work. In the fall, Mrs Peocock will
resume her teaching In Detroit.
