Shorter business days, summer va

CURING CATARRH
Accept Our Advice And Try This Rem
edy at Our Risk.

Catarrh lis a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane
is, one may say, the interior lining of
the body. Catarrh therefore may exist
In any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
functions as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon com
plication, which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made a long study of.catarrh, and
his great success with this remedy
was an enyiable one.
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persistency
for reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us,
and without question or formality we
will hand back to you every cent you
paid US. This is certainly the fairest
offer that any one can make and
should attest our sincerity of purpose.

Good Way to Mend a Rug Fringe.

If your rug has torn fringe do not
put it in the attic. but mend the fringe
1t is very easy to do and well worth
your pains.
Cut off all the fringe, get piece of
pasteboard four inches square and
wind around it yarn of color to
match the rug. Wind the yarn one
way around the pasteboard five or six
times and slip it off. Then put one
end of the yarn through the end of
the rug and pull the other end through
and clinch it. Keep this up until you
get all the way across the end of the
rug If only little torn and you can
match the fringe exactly you do not
need to cut off all that is there. This
method, Of course, is equally good for
any fabric fringe.

big qualities of mind and heart which
have made his business what It is to-

The first days receipts of the little
store which he owned in Philadelphia
fifty years ago were 24.67. He kept
the 81 cents for making change next
