Good Advice Regarding the
Prevention of Coughs
and Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pDeu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness. which produces catarrhal
condition of the mucous membrane.
which is an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened it be-
comes easily infected with germs
which cause many of the diseases
to which flesh is heir. Healthy mu-
cous membranes are essential safe
guards of the body's general health
An excellent aid in the prevention
of coughs, colds, pneumonia and
such like infectious diseases, is a
remedy that will prevent or cure ca
tarrh.
We have a remedy which we hon
estly believe to be unsurpassed in ex-
cellence for the prevention of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions.
1t is the prescription of a famous
physician, who has an enviable repu-
tation of 80 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 medicine to try Rex
all MucuTone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guaran-
tee to this remedy if we were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness of
our claim in every particular, and
we see no reason why any one should
hesitate to accept our offer and try
it. We have two sizes of Rexall
Mucu-Tone, prices so cents and 81.
Sometimes a so cent bottle is suf-
fcient to give marked relief AS
general thing the most chronic case
is relieved with an average of three
large bottles. You can obtain Rexall

manner of the issuance Of a marriage
certificate to the two principals last
Friday afternoon. Since that time she
has telephoned to the police from Des
Moines, then took a train here to fol
low I'D her claim and now has returned
to Des Moines for what she says will
be conclusive evidence of her veracity.
She stated that She had been married
to Kline. as she called Mr.. Franks, and
that the ceremony took place in Kan
sas City some time ago. She told the
officers that the wedding had been
celebrated in a church in Kansas City
and that about 20 people were present
at the time. but when she was ques-
toned about the present whereabouts
of the certificate she was somewhat
inconsistent in her statements. After
causing no small amount of anxiety on
the part of those who were intimately
connected with the prospective we'd

with her would come the necessary
documents that would show that the
ceremony had taken place as she
claimed In the meantime the wedding
has been postponed untH this evening
in order to ascertain whether there is
truth in the statement of the third
party in the dilemma or whether she
is merely an imposter who is infatu-
