STRANGE RAIN TREE OF PERU

The rain tree Of Peru has the power
Of collecting the dampness in the at
mGsphere, and condensing it into
continuous supply of rain. The tree
grows very large, and is rich in
leaves. The Indians call 1t "tamacas-
pi" In the dry season, when, with the
rivers low, the power of condensation
seems at the highest with the tree,
water falls from the leaves and oozes
from the trunk. The water spreads
around the tree In copious quantities,
part OF it entering the soil and fer
tilizing it. The ground is canaIized sc
as to regulate the course Of the water
1t is estimated that one Of these trees
will yoeld nine gallons of water daily
Ten thousand trees can be grown in
an area Of one kilometer square Chat
is, $3.50 feet each Way, and this plan
tation will produce daily $4,000 liters
Of water. Allowing for evaporation and
infltration, there is at least $4,000
liters, or 29,531 gallons of rain for
daily distribution. The tree can be
cultivated with little difficulty, and is
Indifferent as to soil. 1t grows rapidly
and is hardy, resisting both extremes
of climate.

PH0N0GRAPH TO CALL COWS

The photograph, through the in
genuity Of a couple Of boys in the
neighborhood Of Monroe, Wis, has be-
come thing of usefulness as well as
amusement and ornamentation. After
the novelty had worn off, the boys in
question had cast aside the canned
songs and funny talks and gone back
to checkers. But they found that
doing the chores seriously interfered
with the game. One of them remem-
bered they could talk into the records
and have the talk come out just like
it went in.
So between moves each called into
the machine "Come, Boss; come,
Boss" Then they put the photograph
out facing the pasture and turned it
loose. The COWS came home.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
800 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symp toms pain in the back, head
ache. nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, grave disorders
of the sight and hearing, dizziness.
irregular heart. debility, drowsiness,
dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Mrs. S. B Newman, Lancaster,
Wis, says: ''About Two years ago
I contracted kidney trouble and

MILLIONS OF LIVES.
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump-

An Awful / OIL Ooilscted by COnSump-
ton. Many Unnecessary Deaths.
If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal disease
that external applications cannot cure,
they would not need To be warned so
often about this malsdy. which when
neglected, paves the way oftentlmes
for consumption, at the cost OF
millions of lives every year. Yet
catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing medicine
which is a osorbgd and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infection
of consumption and other diseases
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription Of physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a speciality, ana whose record
was patient restored to health in
every case whare his treatment was
followed as prescribed That remedy
is Rexall Mucu Tone. We are so
positive that it will completely over
come catarrh III all its various FORMS
whether acute or chronic, that we

where it fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try
Rexall Mucu- Tone on our guarantee
We have Rexall Mucu- Tone in two
sizes, 80 cents and 81 90. Very often
the taking of one 50cent bottle is
sufficient to make marked impression
upon the case Of course in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is three
81 90 bottles Remember you can
