NJ. Nj. Lewis Offers Remedy For Ca

if il Fails.
When a medicine effects a successful
treatment in a large majority OF cases
and when we offer that medicine on our
own personal guarantee that it will cost
the user nothing if it does not completely
relieve catarrh, it is only reasonable that
people should believe US, or at least put
our claim to practical test when we
take all the risk. These are facts
which we want the people to substan.
tiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared from
a prescription of physician with whom
catarrh was a speciality, and who has a
record of thirty years of enviable sue
cess TO his record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do Of all other
catarrh remedies sold in our store, and If
more people only knew what thorough
ly dependable remedy Mucu-Tone is, 1t
would be the only catarrh remedy we
would have any demand for.
RexaH Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and by its therapeutic effect tends to dis
infect and cleanse the entire mucous
membraneous tract, to destroy and re-
move parasites which injure the men,
braneous tissues, to soothe the irritation
and heal the soreness, stop the mucous
discharge, build up strong, healthy It's
sue and relieve the blood and system OF
diseased matter. Its influence is toward
stimulating the muco-cells, aiding diges-
ton and improving nutrition until the
whole body vibrates with healthy activ-
ity. In a comparatively short time 1t
brings about noticeable gain in weight,
strength, good color and feeling OF
bouyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone,
beginning a treatment today. At any
time you are not satisfied, simply come
and tell us, and we will quickly refund
your money without question or quibble.
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes, so cents and $l.00. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Fredericksburg only at osE store, The

servations as to the extent of what
has been described as the insurgent
movement.

deride or underestimate the
strength and sincerity of the insurg-
ent movement, still | will be able to
tell President Taft good news. That

party is to be split by the diverg-

Editor The Press: Your editorial

October to make my home here,
and as l have always ben inter

stencil in the nostrils" of all good
citizens. 1t is so in every large

CONSTANTINOPLE, via Philop-
oils, April 11.-Four Turkish cruis-
ers and eight torpedo boats started
for the Adriatic coast line today,
to aid in suppressing the Albanian
rebellion which has assumed SER
ious proportions. All revolving
coast towns are to be bombarded.
The Turkish cabinet has decided
that the preservation of the present
issue of the Young Turks, rests up
on a prompt suppression Of the
Instruction.
Dispatches today from the revolt
ing district say that several thous-
and rebels are tearing up the rails
of the Uskub Mitrovitza road for
the purpose of delaying the pro-
gress of troops which have been
sent from the various garrisons
in the southern part of Turkey.
In an effort to stop the revolut-
ion without force, the government
offered to concede to a demand
for lessened taxation in Albania.

BARS WOMEN VOTERS

LOS ANGELES. April 11.-Unless
the suffragettes manage to induce
the men Of California to amend the
constitution Of 1879 and substitute

woman suffrage and had intended
to submit an amendment giving
women the right to vote in city
elections until the obstacle of the

There are a few more figures I
would like to give you. A year or
so ago the railroad commission had
an expert ascertain the cost of one
of the leading northwestern trunk
lines from st. Paul to the coast. He
reported that the entire road cost
about $4,000 per mile. The same
year that railroad declared a II per
cent dividend on 200, 600 per mile or
$4,000 net profits per mile-120 per
cent on actual money invested. You
can also note that based on those
figures the rates all over the coun-
try could be reduced 80 per cent and
they would still be making 80 per
cent on the actual investment.
