Thousands of women vainly attempt to improve their complexions and to remove blackheads, crows' feet and other blemishes, through the use of cosmetics. This treatment fails be cause the trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They are suffering from im pure and impoverished blood. This condition is in many cases due to a catarrhal condition of the whole sys tem, which finds its expression in sallow, muddy complexion, dark circled eyes, general weakness of the system, and perhaps most plainly in the weeping of mucous membranes that is commonly called catarrh. In fact this whole tendency is, prop- I erly speaking, Catarrh. Bannish this catarrh, and the complexion will clear as if by magic, eyes will brighten, faces become rosy and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes only with perfect health, and perfect health for women can only be obtained through one cer tain treatment —that which will cure catarrh. Mme. Swift, New York, the famous beauty specialist known throughout the world and an accepted authority on all relating thereto, states that the one positive and permanent relief for catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Hera is her letter: "lean strongly endorse the claims made for Itexall Mucu-Tone as a cure for systematic catarrh. Its tonic ef fects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking in energy and vitality, will use liexall Mucu-Tone, they will praise as Ido its strengthening and healing qualities." Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the blood,acting thus upon the mucous cells—the congestion and inflammation of which causes local catarrh. This remedy causes poison to be expelled from the system, and the blood is puri fied and revitalized. Thus the natural functions of the mucous cells are re stored, and the membranes are cleans ed and made strong. We know that Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve ca tarrh. We positively guarantee to re fund the money paid us for this rem. edy in every case where the user is dis satisfied. It is a builder of vigorous health and a creator of good complex ions. Price 50 cents and $1 00 per bot tle. Mail orders filled. It may be ob tained only at our store—The Rexall Store. The Emporium Drug Co. Cedar Shingles $4.50 per thousand at,* C. B. Howard & Co's.

A number of bequests are made to individuals, including, several relatives, who will receive from SIOO to SI,OOO.

Kint ner; a brother, William L. Rosa, is giv en floo. Item six of the will provides that twenty-four bonds of the Lycom ing Improvement Company, of a par value of SSOO each, be deposited with the Susquehanna Trust and Safe De posit Co., for the use of Mrs. Ada E. Throop. The income is to be paid to Mrs. Throop as the coupons mature until such time as she arrives at the age of thirty-five years, when the bonds are to bo delivered to her. In the event of Mrs. Throop's death be fore she reaches the age of thirty-five, the bonds will vest in her children, if any, and in the event of there being no children the bonds are to become part of the residuary estate. A bequest of SI,OOO is made to Debbie S. Hockley and of SSOO to Clias. A Hockley. Mrs. Butts, wife of the Rev. W. H. Butts, is given SSOO. Coachman Remembered. William Warner, a coachman, who has been in the employ of Mrs. How ard for a number of years, receives a substantial remembrance. The will provides that he shall receive all horses, harness, buggies, &c., and all the con tents of the bam, together with the sum of SI,OOO. In one of the codicils of the will two nieces, Fannie Fuller and Lottie Raup, are each given SI,OOO ; another niece, Dellie Northrup, receives SSOO, and a nephew, Jay Batchelder, is given SI,OOO. Ekecutor Has Full Authority. After making the specific bequests, previously mentioned in the original will, which bears date Feb. 28, 1906, the following disposition of the balance of the estate is made: " There are certain intents and pur poses which I desire to be accomplish ed, which intents and purposes I have made known to my executor. I there fore give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my es tate, real, personal and mixed, of any kind and character and wheresoever situated to my executor, Thomas H. Hammond, to be disposed of by him, without any accounting to any court or courts, person or persons, after the payment of all costs and charges inci dent to the administration of my estate and distributed by me to such religious, charitable, educational and other uses and purposes as he in his judgment de termines." Precaution Against Contest. In a codicil dated Jan. 13th, 1908, there is provided the following: " I do further declare my will to be that if any person or persons shall in stitute or be connected directly or in directly with any attempt to break or test the validity of my said will on any grounds whatever, then in that event, such person or persons shall not receive or be entitled to receive any part of my estate and I hereby give to my execu tor power to declare a bequest to any such person or persons null and void as though such bequest had never been made by me." Bequest to Mr. Hammond. In the codicil dated March 11th, 1908, the following item : In recognition of the services render ed to me by Thomas H. Hammond, I give and bequetli unto the said Thos H. Hammond twenty-two shares of the stock of the St. Marys Gas company of St. Marys, Pa., being certificates No. ■345 for twenty-two shares issued by the V EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1909. Haiti company to mo; also thirty-six shares of stock (capital) of tho West Brunch National Bank, of Williamsport and being certilicate No. 331." Mrs. Howard Changed Her Mind. One of the peculiar features of the will Is in connection with the codicils bearing upon bequests made to Mrs. Throop. In the codicil dated Jan. 13, 1908, Mrs. Howard directed that in ad dition to the bequest made in the body of the will, Mrs. Throop was to bo giv t>n SB,OOO. In the second codicil, dated March 11, 1908, the previous one is re voked no far as it related to Mrs Ada Throop and in lieu of the SB,OOO i; was provided she should be given the prop erty on West Fourth street occupied by the mansion house and two doubli brick dwellings, together with the fur niture The third codicil, dated Aug. 30, 1909, revokes the bequest made to Mrs. Throop by the previous codicil and provided that she shall receive no portion of the estate except that pro vided in the will dated Feb. 28, 190(5. It is in the third codicil that the be quest of SI,OOO is mnde to the Aged Col ored Women's Hoiiie and to the nieces and nephew of Mrs. Howard. Will There be a Contest ? The fact that Mrs. Howard deemed it necessary to provide that any at tempt to contest the will should bar tho person thus contesting from shar ing in the estate has led to the belief being expressed that some of tho rela tives are likely to be dissatisfied with tho will and that a contest is pro bable. A copy of the wiil was being made at the register's office this morn ing, presumably for the information of parties interested in its contents, but whether this foreshadowed anj legil contest is not known, "Isle of Spice." Alice Clark, prima donna, of the '•lile of Spice," comes to the ro'< of Teresa amply equipped for tho de mands that the part wili make upon her, by an experience of some seasons not only in musical comedy but the heavy style of drama. She wan for two seasons in support of that noted ligitimate actor, liouis James and Madame Madjeska. She was also prima donna of "Isle of Bong Bong" and has spent a couple of seasons in vaudeville. Miss Clark will be seen in support of Charles A. Pusey at the Em porium Opera HoUBe on Monday even ing, Nov. 29th, when that comedian revives the celebrated B. C. Whitney musical comedy. Rally Day. Sunday, Nov. 21st, was Rally Day in Howard Siding Sunday School. Had quite a large attendance. Rev. Bogue, Hon. Josiah Howard, Miss Spence, Misses Lloyd, Mr. T. B. Lloyd and Mr. F. P. Strayer were with us and all en joyed the services very much. Glad there is such a deep interest taken in the Suuday School work. Much credit is due the good people of Emporium for the fine service held here. Trust it may help us to do more and better work. W r e must not forget to mention the collection which far exceeded our expectations. Come again friends. XX "Isle of Spice." The story of B. C. Whitney's musi crl mixture, the "Isle of Spice" which will appear at Emporium Opera House on Monday evening, Nov. 29th, is in teresting and abounds in comedy situ ations of the most mirth-provoking brand, witty dialogue and brilliant lyrics. The piece is full of tuneful music, beautiful costumes, sensational electrical effects, and has au environ ment of lavish and equisite scenery. Hunting Notes. Frank Caskey and son, of this place, i who spent a short time hunting on [ Parker Bun, last week, were successful iin shooting a big buck. They brought the trophy to town last Sunday and i found that it weighed 350 pounds. v Messrs. John Bodner, Michael Casey, | George Mundy and Peter Flynick, of j Pittsburg, composed a party who camped on Cauley Run, the past few ' days. Mr. Flynick succeeded in shoot ing a very large bear.

Balcom, we are now busy moving into our own building, corner of Fourth and Wood streets, where wc will have every convenience. Our readers will remember the Climax office 'building, which was fitted up with great care, having toilets, bath, fire places and a steam heating plant. When once arranged and settled we shall have one of the most convenient printing establish ments in the state. We know our readers will over look any short comings in this issue, which we issue under great inconvenience. Our readers will remember (Jen. Sherman's diffini tion of war—moving is the same. When once located in our new home, we shall be pleased to greet any of our friends. U. F. S. Entertained. The Union Friendly Society was en tertained last Thursday evening by Sir. Max F. Balcom, nf. his home on Sixth street. It was the regular monthly business meeting and twenty-two answered roll call. After the regular routine business was finish ed, all present prooeded to have a good time. Miss Margaret Dodson favored the meeting with a piano solo, which was followed by a vocal solo by Mr. Edgar. A spelling match was the next on the programme, which was enjoyed by all present and proved that the members of the U. F. S., were good spellers. Delicious refreshments were served and Mrs. Balcom was very ably assisted in serving by Mrs. George P, Jones and Miss Jettie Wiley. After a few more pleasautries the guests de parted for their homes. The next meeting will be held December 16th at the home of Miss Margaret Dodson. The Delineator for December. The Christmas number of The Delin eator represents all that is best in the making of a magazine. It ia sumptu ously illustrated, and the pages that offer the cream of current literature, special articles by leading thinkers uiid fascinating descriptions of the fashions are decorated most artistically. "My Principles of Giving" is a sub ject of special moment at Christmas time, and wido interest will be felt in what John D. Roekefellow, Andrew Carnegie, J. Ogden Armour, Thomas H. Swope, John H. Converse, Nathan Straus and Evangeline Booth say con cerning their methods of helping humanity. "A Home with Forty Daughters," by Mabel Potter Daggett, and "Attending to His Drop," by Eugene Wood, are two timely articles that reflect the good-will-tp-man ideal. "The Gentle Resident of the Vatican," a near-by-study of the Pope, by Kellogg Durland, is peculiarly fitting for the holiday number of a magazine; for it presents Christmas glimpses of Rome and the Vatican. Richard Le Gal lienue's beautiful serial,"OctoberVaga bonds," is continued. The Kipling story for the month is called "Glorianna." It is superbly il lustrated. Like the other tales of this remarkable series, it is compelling in interest and haunting in its strange power. J. J. Bell, the Scottish humor ist, contributes a delightful story, "Deeds of Kindness." "The Making of a Hero" is a pleasant tale, well told by Loila Lyon Topping, Grace Mac- Gowan Cook's serial, "The Power and the Glory," is continued. The fashions for the month are re viewed by clever writer, in Paris, Ber lin, London and New York. They are illustrated in full-page color plates that reveal the latest ideas for custumes of every sort. P. O. S. of A., Attention! A special meeting of the P. O.

'29 th, has written a new musical entitled "The Maid and The Mimic," of which A. Baldwin Sloane composed the music. The new piece will be presented at the Broad way Theatre, New York City, during the holidays. This new work should certainly be a success if Mr. Love's very excellent work in the "Isle of Spice" is any criterion. The "Isle of Spice" is now in its sixth season, and still playing to crowded houses every where. In faet, it has the longest recoial of any musical comedy now en- j tour. Evening Party. Miss Emma Ellis was hostess at a i very enjoyable party, given at her home, on West Fourth street, last Mon day evening. Many new and novel features of entertainment were intro- j ducod.

Du- Bois has a good team and a good game can be expected. Our team has been handicapped badly in the two games that have been played, but now there is a brighter outlook and these ob stacles have been overcome. Let everyone turn out to witness an excit ing game. "The Isle of Spice." Uninterrupted success and quite in destructible popularity have, evident ly, combined to make "The Isle of Spice," this season, more tuneful, more splendid, more generally attractive than ever.
