FOR CATARRH.
Medicine Free In Every Case Where II
Fails to Relieve,

Medicine Free In Every Case Where It
Fails to Relieve.
Neglect or pessimism, we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically ev-
cry case of consumption might have
been cured if hope had been main
tained and proper treatment had been
resorted to at the first symptom of the
disease. Until the advanced stage is
reached consumption is curable. Ca
tarrh is responsible, we believe, for
many cases Of consumption. 1t is
about catarrh we want to talk to you
today, incidentally consumption, since
the two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from q
prescription of one of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known. We
believe it is positively without an
equal. We are so satisfied that we
are right, that we will supply the
medicine free in every instance where
it is used according to directions for a
reasonable length of time, should it
fail to give satisfaction in every par
ticular. We want every one to try
this medicine at our risk. There are
no conditions attached to our offer.
We put the user under no obligation
to us whatever.
The medicine We want you to try is
ReXall Mucu-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. 1t is carried by the blood to
every part Of the system. 1t purifes
and enriches the blood. tones mp the
mucous cells, and brings about a con-
ditiOn of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germs of con.
sumption from getting a start. Be-
sides this. ReXall Mucu-Tone is a won,
derful appetizer, digestive aid and
flesh builder. Its good effects are Of.
ten felt from the very first dose. 1t is
one of the largest and most satisfac
tory selling medicines that we have
ever had anything to do with,
We know so much Of the great good
that it has done that we personally
back it up with our reputation and
money, which fact should be ample
guarantee TO satisfy anybody. ReXall
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes. 30 cents
and $1O0. We urge you to try it, Re-
member you can obtain ReXall Rene.

suit was brought, which was in the
courts for year. There was another
suit over awarding the contract for
the steel frames of the cases. Then
much of the marble did not come up
to specifications and had to be reject
ed. The result justified all the time
and trouble. however, for 1t furnished
the world its noblest library building,
one that will stand for centuries and
will grow more beautiful with time.
One pathetic incident attended the
completion of the work. A few weeks
ago John NJ. Carrere, the senior men,
Der of the firm of architects in charge,
was fatally injured in an automobile
accident He died ON the very eve of
the dedication of the building that
will perhaps be known as the greatest
monument of his genius,
By Way of Comparison.
The largest library on earth, meas
ured by the number of books, is the
British museum, and second to this is
the Bibliotheque Rationale of Paris.
The Congressional library at Wash
ington and one in st. Petersburg are
next in rank, The New York Public
library stands fifth, not counting it's
branches. In the matter of indexing
it surpasses all those abroad, since the
| foreign libraries have not introduced
the system of card indexing. The
great library in Paris has no complete
index, and the British museums index
is unwieldy, consisting of hundreds of
volum@.
America now has at least three
great libraries of which she may be
proud-the Congressional library, al
ready mentioned; the New York Pub
lie library and the Boston Public IL
brary. 1t is at the Boston library that
Sargent's celebrated paintings of '"The
Prophets" are among the mural dec.
orations. In the size and capacity OF
the building and perhaps in nobility
of architecture the New York edifice
exceeds them all.

ti-fulr' Best of all, the fruits repre-
sented are American fruits just as
most of the woods used are American
woods.
Throughout there is the same unity
and harmony of design found in the ar
chitecture. There are, as yet, few
mural paintings such as have made the
Boston Public library and the Con
gressional library famous, but these
will come in time. Now that the build
ing is actually completed and occupied
the attention of its trustees can be
concentrated on perfecting the inte-
rior decorations and enlarging the book
collection. By the way, the chairman
of the board is John Bigelow. now
past ninety, whom some people regard
as the grandest old man in the world.
The moving of the books from the
Astor and LenoX libraries to the new
building occupied weeks of time. On
the Forty-second street side there was
seen constantly a string of moving
vans extending the entire width of the
cdifice. The moving men were only
allowed to approach a certain line.
There the library attendants took the
boxes and disposed of their contents.
1t required pull stronger than that
Of Tammany alderman to get into
the structure at any time up to the
opening day. After that it was ac-
cessible to the humblest hobo. The
highbrow foregathered there with the
Russian Jew, the millionaire with the
Socialist, the east slider with the scions
of the oldest and proudest "Van" fami-
lies of Dutch lineage. The only aris-
tOcracy of library is that of brains.
History of the Building.
The history of the building was one
of litigation and vexatious delays.

chosen We're Carrere & Hastings. Be

white marble, great marble monoliths
supporting the ceilings, broad marble
stairways on either side and noble arch
ways above and below. On the en-
trance floor is the periodical room,
where magazines and newspapers from
all the world may be found. On the
second floor above is the famous Stuart
collection of paintings and rare works
of art. To the west is the catalogue
room, containing over 100000 index
cards alphabetically arranged. Direct
ly off this is the great reading room,
with the stack room divided into seven
floors underneath. There are many
other chambers of interest-the pure
science room and the technical science
room, for example. There is the read
ing room for the blind, the training
school, the exhibition rooms. There is
the patent room, the lending room and,
best of all, the children's room. There
are eight smaller rooms, or studies,
where distinguished writers can get
up" their subjects. Then there are
rooms devoted to American history, the
Hebrew department, music room, pho
tograph room, print room, containing a
fine collection of old prints removed
from the Lenox library; reading room
for economies, map room, picture gal
leries and many more. One of the fin.
est rooms in the building is that for
the trustees. After the sixteen years
of delays and troubles since they first
voted to combine the three libraries
the trustees deserve this sumptuous
chamber and anything else good that
may come their way.
Woodcarving a Feature.
A notable feature of the library is
the woodcarving. This was done by
Germans and is in the best style OF
an old and now neglected art The
woods used for the most part are Cir
cassian walnut, French walnut, In
diana white oak, quarter sawed, anG
other American oaks. The carving Il

He is not thinking of his pose.
You'd know TO see him standing there
His mind was not upon his clothes.
His broad expanse of shirt front CLEANS,
His tie is spotless, pure and white,
But that to him a trife seems
He wears his dress suit every night.
The other man, who twists and turns
And fidgets every little while,
Whose face with conscious feeling burns,
Who seems too agonized to smile,
Who feels his coat is much too small,
Whose high starched collar cuts his ear,

He wears dress suit twice a year.
