For Catarrh
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. Prac-
t1caIly every case of consumption
might have been cured if hope had
been maintained and proper treat
ment had been resorted to at the
first symptom of the disease Until
the advanced stage is reached con-
sumption IS durable Catarrh is re-
sponsible, we believe, for many
cases of consumption. 1t is about
catarrh We want to talk to you to-
day, incidentally consumption, since
the two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from
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 II is used according to direc-
tions for reasonable length of
time, should il fail TO give satisfac-
ton in every particular. 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 what
ever.
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. It pur-
ifies and enriches the blood, tones
up the mucous cells. and brings about
a condition OF health and strength
that tends TO prevent the germs OF
consumption from getting start.
Besides this. Rexall Mucu-Tone is a
wonderful appetizer. digestive aid
and flesh builder. It's good effects
are often felt from the very first
dose. 1t Is one Of the largest and
most satisfactory selling medicines
that we have ever had anything to
do with.
We know so much OF the great
good that II has done that we per-
scnaIly back II up with our reputa-
ton and money. which fact should
he ample guarantee TO satisfy any
body. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in
two sizes, so cents and 81 We urge
you TO try IT. Remember you can
obtain Rexall remedies in Rock Is

No place therefore ought to be making greater

We want the Inland Waterway-not for the traffic

GOV. WILSON IS
LOGICAL MAN
BIRMINGHAM NEWS SAYS THE
PRlNCETONIAN CAN BEST
SPLIT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The following is from the Birming-
ham (Ala.) News:
The News is clear in the judgment
that Governor Woodrow Wilson, of
New Jersey, is by far the most avail
able nominee for the presidency. He
has grown in strength and in public
estimation with marvellous steadiness.
Day by day 1t becomes clearer that
the rank and file of Democratic voters
east and west, north and south-are
turning to Wilson. He has impressed
the country with his ability, his
sagactty, his resourcefulness, his
courage, his capacity to do things,
with his progressive power in hand
ling urgent state and national prob
lens. He best of all Democrats can
split off the progressive element from
the Republican party. He can be
elected, and he would make a great
president, just as he has made and is
making an extraordinary governor
Therefore, the News urges the Dem
ocrats of Alabama in their primary to
express a first choice and a second
choice-the one for Underwood and
the other for Wilson. They should
from every district and from the state
undertake to nominate as delegates
at large high class men who will he
for Underwood, of course, first, but for
Governor Wilson second. In this way
the state will not shirk it's duty in the
national convention, or fritter away its
influence.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the
nose and throat are exposed to the
irritating influence of dust, impure
air, ETC., and for this reason are
the places Catarrh usually first
nlaifests itself. But these are
simply exciting causes, the inGam-
nation and discharge being really
produced by an impure and uitiated
condition of the blood. It's weu
enough to use some local treatment
to cleanse these membranes, bat
any one can readily see that if
the infanimdtory matter is left In
the blood, such treatment cannot
possibly hare any permanent effect.
5. 5: S. cures Catarrh by purifying
the blood of all impure catarrhal
matter and irritating germs and at
the same time builds up the system
by its fine tonic effects. When
5. S. S. has purified the blood, the
mucous surfaces are all nourished
and made healthy. There can be no
Inflammation of the membranes
then, because the blood is pure, and
every tissue receives nourishment in
stead of irritating matter. Our book
on Catarrh will give proper advice as
to what IS best to use as a local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free, also any special
advice you may feel you need.

DON'T Be
UNREASONABLE
If You Neglect the Care of the Scalp
You Should Not Expect Beau
tiful Hair.

The hair is more exposed and hence
more liable to accumulate dust and
dirt than any other portion of the
body.
In spite of this the hair receives. as
a rule, the least attention and no real
effort is made to keep it healthy.
If the dandruff germ is allowed to
work unmolested and the scalp be-
comes crusted with dirt accommodations
one may expect the hair to die and
fall out There is no cause for sur
prise in this phenomenon; it is nat
ural and happens in every instance
where the care of the hair and scalp
is overlooked.
The one sure remedy which prevents
the loss of hair and permits healthy,
luxuriant growth is found in Newbro's
Herpicide.
The dandruff germ cannot live on a
head to which Herpicide is regularly
applied. The germ dies. The hair
ceases to fall. The terrible itching
stops almost instantly.
That is what Newbros Herpicide
does.

An Example for
And Against the Recall.

Citizens of Oregon are the first
ones to attempt to recall a judge.
Judge Coke is the one asked to be re-
moved and the movement is the re-
suit Of popular disapproval of the ac-
quittal of man charged with murder,
when the facts indicate that the muir
der was one which deserved punish
ment.
In arguing against the recalling of
the judiciary the New York World
says:
The petition for recall charges that
this was brought about by the gross
incompetency and unfairness' of the
Judge in giving instructions to the
fury. It is not charged that the judge
is corrupt. If he were, he could be
reached by impeachment. It is not
charged that he is wilfully misusing
the powers of his Office. If so, there
would be misdemeanor, also reachable
by impeachment. Incompetency on
lack of a competent knowledge of the
law is the burden of the complaint.
And laymen put themselves forward
as judges of this legal incompetency!
Worst yet, they rest the judgment on
this single case.
The journal viii not attempt to
argue the merits of the petition which
asks for the recall of the judge, but
1T is willing for the people to decide
the question for themselves. 1t will
however, cite another case of New
York Judge and let the public decide
whether the recall should be operative
Latest information is to the effect
that william Willett paid thirty thou
sand for his nomination from the ma
chine to be justice of the New Yorli
city supreme court.
Look at it from any standpoint yor
may and the more you look the moro
desirable the recall of judges appears
to you. In some cases it might op-
-srate against a sincere and conscien
tious judge, and, while we don't be-
lieve it would, if it did so it would no
compare with the injustice done thu
people by corrupt and schemiug de-
graders of the dignity of the bench.
In a country where there are a.
many good judges as there are in Thu
part of the south we cannot readil,
see the need of the recall, but
would be a splendid idea to have it il
waiting If the occasion should eve
arrive when it is needed.

portance.

I cannot refrain from saying that after
five years observation of the cases
that have been before this court, three
fourths of the crimes are due directly
or indirectly to the excessive use OF
intoxicants. and that if the church
and the state and public sentiment
could ultimately make Georgia sober,
the prisons would be vacant, the
chaingangs empty, and the cites;
towns and country would be hlled
with prosperous and happy homes.
Coming from a judge on the bench
in the discharge of his official duty,
and at time when no ant1-liquor
campaign or movement was on THESE
words contain a meaning as slgnin-
cant as they are true. Ii the Worlo
would sober up, what O happy, con-
tented, and prosperous state the hu-
man race would enjoy.
