80 YEARS OF SUCCESS.
Bell & Robinson Offer a Remedy for
Catarrh. The Medicine Costs
Nothing if it Fails.

When a medicine effects a sue
cesSful treatment in a very 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 re-
lieve 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 substantiate. We want them to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from a prescription of
physician with whom catarrh is
speciality, and who has a record of
thirty years of enviable success 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 thoroughly dependable
| remedy ReXall Mucu-Tone is, it
would be the only catarrh remendy
we would have any demand for.
ReXall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by it's therapeutic effect
| tends to disinfect and cleanse the
| entire mucuos membraneous tract,
| to destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous It's
sues, to soothe the irritation and
heal the soreness, stop the mucuos
discharge, build up strong, healthy
tissue and relieve the blood and sys-
TEN of diseased matter. Its influence
| is toward stimulating the muco-cells
aiding digestion and improving
nutrition until the whole body vi
brates with healthy activity. In a
comparatively short time it brings
about noticeable gain in weight,
strength, good color and feeling of
buoyancy.
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 return your money without
question or bubble. We have Rexall
Mucu-Tone in two sizes, SO cents and
$1.00. Remember you can obtain
ReXall Remedies in Leon only at our
store,-The Rexall Store. Bell &

INDIGESTION.
Relief in Five Minutes and Perma-

When Van Werden & Kopp state
that they have remedy that is
guaranteed to cure any man or
woman who suffers from food fer
mentation which causes belching
sour stomach, gas eructations, heart

are the poor stomach sufferers in
Leon going to do about it?
The name of this most remarkable

John Holden, of Leon, Iowa, says:
Il have thoroughly tested Doan's
Kidney Pills on several occasions and
have found the remedy to act eX-
actly as represented. l was troubled
more or less for number of years
by backache, and other symptoms of
kidney complaint. I at length learn
ed of Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-
curing a supply from L. P. Van Wer-
denis drug store, I began their use.
They acted directly upon my kid
neys, stopped the ache in my back

A Lesson in Advertising.

The Traer Star-Clipper relates an
incident that shows the value Of
newspaper advertising. A Tama
county farmer recently held a
public sale. He had no use for the
newspaper as an advertising medium.
He thought a few sale bills would
answer the purpose. He has learned
differently now There was very
small crowd of buyers present; some
farmers within two miles of his
place didn't even know he was to
have a sale. His chattels sold at a
comparatively low price and the to-
tai amount received from the sale
was several hundred dollars less than
neighbor received who had spent
| few dollars for newspaper space.
He probably saved 50 to So on adj
vertising and lost scores of times So.
The newspaper is the one best adj
vertising medium. 1t is practically
the only medium to which by far the
larger percentage Of the people give
the least attention. The people are
persistent, consistent newspaper
readers. They read all there is in
the paper. They don't overlook
what is known as "store news" The
ICES this or he makes fanure as a
seller.
There are SO many examples of
great businesses built up through
judicious newspaper advertising-ad-
vertising that is persistent and
abundant-that it is really astonish-
ing that there are people who are
disbelievers in the efficiency of print
| er'S ink

who were visiting at the house went
to the door.
"What do you want?" Joseph Vasts
said.

WE'D IN SPITE
OF RELIGION
Leaders of the Sect. Ferced
10 Give Consent

Benton Harbor, Mich, Dec. f9.-Tg-
noring a law that recognized neither
love nor marriage, twenty couples,
members of the Israelite sect located
here, were married at colony head
quarters.
The prospective brides and the
grooms lined up around IN improvfsed
altar, the brides wearing flowing
gowns of white silk and satin and the
grooms with flowing hair and unshav-
en- boards, which is the Israelite Gus
tom, were attired In ordinary hats.
Each nan stood behind the woman
Of his choice. The guests were the
remaining members OF the colony.
Justice Asa Weldon went down the
line, uniting one couple after another.
The Israelite doctrine teaches the
immortality of the physical body and
frowns upon the free mingling of the
sexes and forbtds marriage.
The leaders explain their consent to
the marriages as a wedding jubilee
In celebration Of the jubilee year"
Another explanation has 1t that the
twenty couples became betrothed and
rebelled against the law which forbade
marriage and even threatened to de-
sert the colony if they were not al
lowed to wed.

Will Rem thinks of going to the

The revelations of graft in the
handling of South Dakota Indians
may shift the scene from Oklahoma
to South Dakota. There has been no
noticeable change in the nature of the
white man since the time the dis
coveries exchanged plug of tobacco
for a lump of gold.
The doctrine Of having the states
manage the public lands within their
respective bounds is not new and
ought to appeal to the reason of any
man. 1t has nothing to do with the
doctrine of the right of state to Sc
cede from the union, but it does have
the right to control it's own territory.
With nearly IA years cabinet SER
vice to his credit, Secretary Wilson
