HAD BOUGHT A GOLD BRICK
City Man Found Hlmsef All to tho
Bad In His Purchase of a Coun-
try Home.

William Raymond Sill's regular vo-
cation, in addition to decorating the
lobby OF the Broadway theater, is to
put pieces in the paper about Lew
Fields. For this he receives a salary
said to be larger than-but what's the
use.
Sill's most notable achievement to
date is a bouncing baby from whom
knowledge of his fathers ealing has
been withheld thus far. The need of
country air for any reputable Off
spring was impressed upon Sill by
Mrs. Sill last summer, and one eve
ming the head of the household tri-
umphantly laid q formidable docu-
ment in the lap of his flreside COM
panion.
whats this?" she demanded.
Deed of the farm" replied Sill.
Whose farm?" she asked.
Yours, mine, the kids" answered
her husband
Examination of the document proved
that Ii called for II acres of land.
Subsequent inspection of the property
revealed 5000 barrels of the choicest
Long Island swamp; 1000 gallons of
malaria and an unlimited supply OF
eau de board of health. Sill promptly
christened the estate Marshmellow
Arms and began to cultivate.
The last time he struck a balance
sheet he rejoiced 20 learn that by his
ardous toll he had raised half-acre
of pond lilies yellow. six families Of
muskrats, and "scab" bullfrog that
croaks only in the afternoon.

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds.

II 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 e. weakness, which pro-
lduces a catarrhal condition of the mu-
cous membrane, which is an internal
skin of the body. When this skin is
weakened il becomes easily infected
with germs which cause many of the
diseases TO which flesh is heir. Heal
thy mucous membranes are essential
safeguards 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 catarrh.
We have a remedy which we honest
IN believe TO be unsurpassed i'm excel
lence for the prevention of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
is the prescription of famous ply
stefan. who has an enviable reputation
Of thirty years of cures gained through
the use of this formula. We promise
TO make no charge for the medicine
should il fail to do as we claim. We
urge everybody who has need OF such a
medicine 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 prepared
to prove the reasonableness Of our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
TO accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall Mucu- Tone,
prices 80 cents and $1.O0. Sometimes
q 50-cent bottle is sufficient to give
marked relief. As a general thing the

Of an equable temperament and good
appetite. He must be a cook. fiat

spends her husbands money, whether
she can manage frying pan. or
whether she admires her husbands
looks. But that does not matter at
