Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cann0

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by ar
inhamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-

Sunday Morning Blaze

About three o'clock Sunday morn
ing the fire department went out on
a call to the First Ward and saved
two buildings. One of them belongs
to Mrs. Cool and one to Mr.. Hecht
The fire had gained too much head
way on the building belonging to
Mrs. Brady Shuts where the fire
originated to save any part of the
building, which was occupied by
Mathew Barnes.
The origin of the fire is to be
solved We have not been able to
see Mr.. Barnes but Mrs. Shuts, who
had no insurance on the building
states that she suspects the origin
was incindiary. Certainly Mr.. Barne S
knows how the fire started as he
was alone in the house at the time
and claims to have been awake.
Only little of the furniture was
saved. The loss to Mrs. SHUTS is
rather heavy.

THIRTY YEARS OF SUCCESS.
Tho RexaII Store Offers a Remedy
For Catarrh - The Medicine Costs
Nothing if 1t Fails.

Tho RexaIl Store Offers a Remedy
For Catarrh - The Medicine Costs
Nothing if 1t Fails.
When a medicine effects successful
treatment in a very large majority of
cases, and when we offer that medi-
cine on our own personal guarantee
that it will cost the user nothing If 1t
does not completely relieve catarrh, it
is only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our claim
to a 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 prescrip-
ton of physician with whom catarrh
was speciality, and who has 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 a thoroughly dependable remedy
Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be the
only catarrh remedy we would have
any demand for.
Rexan Mucu-Tone is quickly absorb
ed and by its therapeutic effect tends
to disinfect and cleanse the entire mu-
cous membraneous tract, to destroy
and remove the parasites which injure
the membraneous tissues, to soothe the
irritation and heal the soreness, stop
the mucous discharge, build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve the blood
and system of diseased matter. Its
influence is toward stimulating the
muco-cells, aiding digestion and I'M
proving nutrition until the whole body
yibrates 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, sim
ply come and tell US; and we will quick
" return your money without question
or bubble. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone
in two sizes, so cents and $1.00. Re
member you can obtain Rexall Rene
dies only at our store-The Rexall Store.

MAY BE BUllFIGHTS
ON AMERICAN SOIL.
Elaborate Preparations In Salt Lake
Include Matadors and Mexican Bulls.

Indications that an attempt Is to be
made TO have real bullhghts on Ameri-
can soil are causing much excitement
among people In Salt Lake City who
are opposed to such things. There
are evidences that the same forces
which prevented the Johnson-J effries
fight I'm Utah will soon be arrayed to
prevent a spectacle which they would
consider far worse than pugilism.
There were hints Of great things to
come a few weeks ago when Felix
Robert, French matador, recently
arranged with the management Of
Saltair, a resort on the Great Salt
lake, for a great Spanish festival, to
begin July % and last eight days. No
alarming announcement Of a real bull
fight was made, but 1t was said that
real men Of the bull ring would be
present, and hints were given that
their talent would not be entirely
wasted.
Now the management Of Saltair has
made 1t known that Robert, who went
10 MeAlCO RECENTLY 10 uETduSe lOT lue
toreadors, dancing girls and others for
the troupe, has engaged some of the
most successful bullfghters Of the
capital itself. More significantly, it Is
announced that he has purchased a
carload Of specially bred fighting bulls
such as are killed in the rings in Mex
leo. 1t Is remarked by one local pa
per that evidently something out of
the ordinary is in store for people who
attend that affair" Except on Sun
days evening performances are to be
given in an Enclosure that certainly
closely resembles bull ring.
1t is only since the announcement
of the purchase OF the specially bred
bulls that the church people Of Salt
Lake City have begun to be aroused.
They cannot understand why noted
toreadors and fine bulls are brought
unless for real bullfights and suspect
that there is purpose quietly to in
troduce such performances and then
attempt to give them in other states.
