PORK TAKES A DROP.
A Decline Averaging 81 Per Barrel at
Chicago.

Chicago, April Possibility of a
drop in the price of at least one item
which enters INTO the cost of living
cured hog products-is seen in a sharp
decline. averaging 81 per barrel in
pork, on the board of trade.
The decline Is attributed to the
plentiful supply of corn in elevators
and the lower price of this cereal.
A representative of a large packing
concern said the decline indicated that
retailers would be able to buy cured
hog products. such as bacon and hams,
cheaper, but he refused to commit
himself as to what action retailers
would take. Fresh pork probably will
not be affected for the time being.

rHE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding Pre-
vention of Coughs and
Colds

If people would only fortify
and strengthen the system, the
majority of cases Of coughs,
colds and pneumonia might be
avoided. These troubles are
frequently due to weakness,
which produces a catarrhal con-
dition of the mucous membrane,
which is an internal skin of the
body. When this skin is weak
ened it becomes easily infected
with germs which cause many
of the diseases 70 which flesh is
heir. Health,5 ~.e ~ mem
branes are ~essensfssl - f,M a ar9s
of the body's genera! osalth.
An excellent aid in the PFC
vention of coughs, colds, pneu-
monia, and such like infectious
diseases, is a remedy that will
prevent or cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we
honestly relieve to be unsur-
passed in excellence for the
feysa.o On of coughs, colds and
all catarrhal conditions. 1t is
the prescription of a famous
physician, who has an enviahle
reputation of thirty years of
cures gained through the use
of this formula. We promise
to make no charge for the
medicine should it fail to do as
we claim. We urge everybody
who has need of such a medi-
cine to try Rexall Mucu- Tone.
1t stands to reason that we
could not afford to make such
statements and give our own
personal guarantee to this
remedy if we were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonable
ness of our claim in every par
ticular, and we see no reason
Why anyone should hesitate to
accept our offer and try it.
We have TWO sizes of KeXall
Wucu- lone, prices SO cents and
$l.00. Sometimes a 50-cent
bottle is sufficient to give
marked relief. AS a general
thing the most chronic
case is relieved with ar
average of three large bottles.

dies in Mo. Valley only at
