Io.2 The " Rexall " Remedies are successful and this is why. ' They were placed on the market three years ago. They have scored already the record of the greatest success ever known in the history of the drug business. jl "Come and go " popularity may arise from any number of causes (hullabaloo advertising among them) and may or may not be founded on real worthiness. But the man, the pk;i, the idea, or the article that truly succeeds, dees to because he or it deserves to succeed, and for no other reason. v The succecs of the " Rexall " Remedies is therefore the first evidence of their real merit They sell because they cure, and they cure be cause each one of them is the best remedy known to medical science for the particular ailment it is made to relieve. There are nearly 200 remedies sold under the " Rexall " name, each for one disease or one purpose. Each of these has been selected by a committee of experts from among all other remedies of its class, for manufacture and sale by The United Drug Company, a co operative association cf leading American druggists. Wherever you see the name "Rexall," you may know that it stands for a formula scientifically correct and proved efficient in actual, long extended practice. We know these formulas and are glad to answer all inquiries regarding them, giving full information as to the ingredients. Here are three famous members of the " Rexall " family: FOB CATARRH MUCU-TOHE The chief ingredients of : Mucu-Tone are Gentian, Cu bebs, Cascara Sagrada, Glycer ine, and Sarsaparilla. Gentian is recognized in med icine as o n e of the greatest tonics ever discovered. It is the foundation on which Mucu Tone is built. Gentian com bines in high degree the tonic j powers of all the known "bit ! ters," with none of the disad vantages applying to them. Cubebs have long been rec cgnized as a specific in the treat ment of all catarrhal conditions. Its action is prompt and its benefit almost invariable. In whatever part of the body the inflamed or diseased con 'on of the mucous membrane t. the use of Cubebs has been recommended by the best phy sicians for many generations. Cascara Sagrada is espe cially introduced for its neces sary laxative properties. The combination of these with Glycerine and Sarsaparilla makes Mucu-Tone a remedy that attacks catarrh from every point, gradually restores and re builds the diseased tissues to their former health and strength, promotes digestion and creates a normal appetite, liottle, 50c.

Bismuth Subnitratc and rep sin are recognized by the entire medical profession as specifics for acute indigestion or chronic dyspepsia. The pepsin used is manufac tured under a new process which develops its greatest ef ficiency. Pepsin not only sup plies to the digestive machinery one of the most important ele ments of the digestive fluid, but vseemsto exert a tonic influ ence upon all the glands which supply all the other element;;. The carminitives add prop erties which promptly relieve pains caused by undigested food. The combination of the whole makes a remedy abso lutely invaluable to any man or woman suffering from Dyspep sia and not only a remedy but a cure which works gradually rebuilding and stimulating the glands w hich perform the diges tive functions.

FOR NERVES AMERICANITIS ELIXIR The Rexall Americauitis Elix ir is a tonic nerve food composed chiefly of free Phosphorus, Glycophosphates, Iron Pyro phosphate and Calisaya. The wonderful results of this remedy are due to the fact that it supplies Phosphorus to the nerve cells in a condition in which it can be immediately and easily taken up by them. It is the only known preparation in which free Phosphorus that is. Phosphorus which remains in definitely unoxidized is used. The Glycophosphates, actual nerve-tissue builders, are one of the most recent and valuable additions to the field of this branch of medicine and unques tionably a more efficient rem edy than the well -known 1 lypop'.iosphites. The Iron Pyrophosphates is the most easily assimilated form cf iron which gives tone and color, and the combined alka loids of Calisaya liark have a tonic effect on almost all the functions of the body. In compounding these vari ous elements, the vcrv highest degree of pharmaceutical skill has been employed. 75c. and 1.50 a bottle. each package: If it does not, and we want you Druggists NEWSPAPER LAW. 1. Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary are con sidered as wishing to continue sub scriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discon tinuance of their periodicals, the pub lisher may continue to send them un til all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settl ed their bills and ordered them dis continued. 4. If the subscriber moves to an other place without Informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 6. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evi dence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to rive notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, If they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber wUl be held responsible, until an express notice with payment or arrearages, is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest an? one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for It Under this law the man who allows his subscrip tion to run along for some time, un paid, and then order the postmaster to mark it, "refuse," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. , Lecturing before a London audi ence on the importance of house Cleaning, an English scientist assert ed that as much dust as can be placed on a pin point yields no fewer than 3,000 colonies of living germs. The majority of these germs are represen tative of disease. Farm Topics i SEED CORN. When selecting your, seed corn al ways bear in mind that the plants from kernels with the largest germs gener ally withstand drouth much better than would otherwise be the case, because of the simple fact that they are nour ished the best. A SEED POINTER. The time for purchasing seed lo be ttscd for this year's crops has about ar rived, and probably we could give no better advice than to say that seed of the best quality is Invariably the cheap est iu the end. Poof seed is cosily at any price, and should not be used by any one tinder any circumstances. PLOW DEEPLY FOR CORN. The cutworm often destroys whole fields of corn, compelling replanting, which makes the crop late and less able to stand dry weather. The corn land should he plowed deep and left rough, so as to permit the frost to en ter. When cutworms are exposed to alteruate thawing and freezing weather many will be destroyed, though cold without dampness may not injure them. SHEEP GREAT FORAGERS. It is claimed that a farmer can keep one sheep for every cow without feel ing the additional expense, ns sheep consume much that other stock will not eat. The use of sheep is most ap preciated by the fact that they are great foragers, and destroy a large number of weeds. A flock of sheep confined to a limited area will also add considerable fertility to the land. USELESS AS MANURE. There Is always a huge amount of course mnterial in the barnyard that has little or no plant food In it, es pecially if it has been exposed. Such manure is not worth taking to the fields, and If turned under it will make the soil dryer in summer. Such ma terial should be made the foundation for a new heap, so ns to rot It down to less bulk, and also to use it as ab sorbent material for fresh manure. GOOD SEED POTATOES NEEDED. Good seed potatoes are necessary if a large crop is expected. Never at tempt to economize 011 seed. Get the best, as nny mistake made will last into the harvest. Use whole seed, if possible, and give more room in the rows. While the sprouts from single eyes are breaking the ground the tops of whole potatoes will be large enough to plow. Many fanners have lost money by cutting the seed potatoes in to small pieces in order to reduce the cost, but for every dollar thus saved they lose much more In the crop. DESTROY POTATO BEETLES. In the potato the most important constituent is starch. Thousands of bushels of potaoes are used iu the starch industry, which assists in main taining prices. Bakers also use pota toes in the making of bread, and pota toes are also used largely for food in various ways. It is through the agency of the loaves that the starch Is elabor ated In the" tubers, hence It Is nccessory that potato beetles he destroyed before they damage the vines, instead of al lowing them to consume a large portion of the growth. The best potatoes are produced early when the vine growth is vigorous. BETTER WAIT. When the weather becomes warm there is n temptation to plant early, and especially the garden seeds. It is a mistake to do so, however, as there is liability of frost at any time. If the ground is not well warmed the seeds may never germinate, and plants that are tender, and which come up early, may be so checked in growth on a coo night as to seriously interfere with their progress during the seAion. It has often been noticed that late plants which come up from seeds innke more rapid headway than some grown in hotbeds and then transplanted. This is due to the fact that they got abund ant warmth at the start, and are not checked at any stage of growth. It is well to get the plants out ns early as the weather will permit, but it is better to wait a week or two rather than In cur the risk of loss from late frosts, as time thus lost cannot be regained. REMEDY FOR TICKS. I find a good many of my lnmbs are badly infested with ticks since the sheep were sheared. The sheep are quite clear of them. What can I do for the lambs? The American Sheep Breeder an swers this question as follows: The best thing that can be done is to dip the lambs in aiy good dip wblcb Is used for the scab. There is only one sure remedy against this and the scab Insect as well, which Is to dip properly the whole flock vice every year, once in the spring I fore shearing when the fleeces will e much Improved in appearance by it-, and the ether in the ,fall before the evld weather arrives. This will be found not nearly so trou blesome as one dipping only in the year, and in fact will pay the whole ixpen:e of it in the improvement of the ieece, and again in the clearing of the lambs and the nbeep as well from all jklnds of parasites such as these ticks and fleas, as, well as thai most trouble some disease the sheep scab. If the 'flock is once freed completely from all these parasites there will be no future (trouble, nnd these regular dippings will be a very easy matter, costing only a trifle to then insure complete comfort to the sheep as well as to their owner, and a great economy will result. Wanted the Insurance. Applying for relief to the poor guardians of a London parish, an old woman said she had a daughter who did not allow her anything, but kept up the payments on her Insurance policy.

Rise Liars, And Salute Your Queen Ho, All Ye Faithful Followers of Ananias GIVE ' EAR! A Young Girl said to a One Statement as This burst of true American girl in dignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grnpe-Nuts, the popular pre-dlgestod food, was made of stale bread shipped in and sweetened. The teacher colored tip and changed the subject. There is quite an assortment of trav eling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their false hoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring It Is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a "round-up," and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round-up," and brand these cattle and place them In their proper pastures.- FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers this In cludes "teachers'' who have applied to us for a weekly pay If they would say "something nice" about Grape Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also Includes "demonstra tors" and "lecturers'' sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people in structed by the small-bo-wliiskered-doctor the bead of the Institution to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same liftle doctor con ducts a small magazine in which there Is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doc tor. In this column some time ago ap peared the statement: "No. we can not recommend the use of Grape Nuts, for it is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it." Right then be showed his badge as a mem ber of the tribe of Anunlas. He may have been a member for some time before, and so lie has caused these "lecturers" to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the "Iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known as grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising In their papers and when we do not consider It ad visable they institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them td the Judge to answer. If the pace has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "bellow ing," do yon think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump stiff leg ged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the rope Is thrown over them "it's dif ferent." Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the Iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow.

Cooking School Teacher in New York : "If You False as That, All You have said a lout Foods is Absolutely Unreliable." THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy. Many of theso editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and it is the universal habit of such writ ers to go straight Into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust, and this has brought down on us the bate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, Is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible). Keep your eye out for the "Lo coed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand, or fifty thousand dollars to be covered bv I a like amount from them, or any one of mem, aim 11 lucre was ever one ounce of old bread or any other Ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used In the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month. Inspecting every department and every process, Our factories ore so clean that one could, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. The work people, both men and wo men, are of fhe highest grade in the State of, Michigan, and according to the State labor reports, are the highest paid in the State for similar work. Let ns toll you exactly what you will see when you Inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremen dous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there converted into flour. Then the ma chines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dough mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the bar ley having been ground it was passed through about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain Into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough, it is moulded by machinery into loaves about 18 Inches long and 3 or C inches in diameter. It is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by ma chinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great steel trncks, and rolled into the secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long. There the food is subjected to a long, low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore trans formed, is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Tost Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts if held toward the light, and this sugar is not poured over or put on the food as these prevaricators Ignorantly assert. On the contrary the sugar exudes from the interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come out on the end of a .hickory log after it has been sawed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar Is the most digest! ble food known for human use. it is so perfect in its adaptability that moth ers with very young infants will pour a little warm milk over two or three spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the Bngar off from the granules and carrying it with the milk to the bottom Wild Oats. The seed of the wild oats seems to be endued with a sort of life of it own. . Wild oats, when held In th hand, will move about In a manner Ihnt strongly suggests the motions of larvae of certain insects. Romans Ate Oysters. The ancient Romans ate oysters as the first course at banquets because of their quality of stimulating the appetite. Pliny recommends oil ana onions as condiments. make of the dish. Then this milk chargea with Post SngRr is fed to the infants, producing the most satisfactory results, for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old it is the custoiu of some mothers to allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in the milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It Is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of n perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy nnd strength for the great athletes. is in common use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college in the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' x. Is de rived solely from cereals. The prepara tory process undoubtedly convert3-be rnnri rnnstmients inrn a mucn more 01- gestible condition than in the raw cereal. This Is evident from the re markable solubility of the preparation. 110 less than one-half of it being soluble in cold water. The soluble part con tains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance Crape-Nuts resembles' fried bread-crumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt. Accord ing to our analysis the following is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts:' Moist ure. (1.02 per cent.; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent.; fat, l.(0 per cent.; proteids, , 15.00 per cent.; soluble carbohydrates, etc.. 4!).-f0 per cent.; and unaltered carbohydrates '(insoluble). 25.97 per. cent. The features worthy of note Id this analysis are the excellent propor tion of proteid, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that , may be. Our analysis, at any rats, shows that It is a mitrltive of a high order, since It contains the constituents of a complete food In very satisfactory and rich proportion and In an easily as similable state." An analysis made by the "nnadinn Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in or dinary cereals, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in any other food analyzed. The analysis Is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and London. We print this statement In order that the public may know the exact facts niton which we stake our honor and will back it with any amount of money that any person or corporation wllJ put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of the tribe of Ana. inns. When you hear a cooking sehoo teacher or any other person assert thai either Postum or Grape-Nuts are mad of any other Ingredients than thosj printed on the packages and as w say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and if the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right that wrong quickly.. Our business has always been con ducted on as high a grade of human In telligence as we are capable of, and w rropose to clear the deek of these pre varicators and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called to the cren eral and broad Invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will lie shown the most minute process and device in order that they may under stand now pure and clean, and. whole some Grape-Nuts and Postum are. Ihere ic an old savins among bus!. ness men that there is some chance to train a fool, but there Is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where von are, and we hereby serve notice on all tne members of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they may follow their calling in other lines, but when they put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we propose to give them an opportunity to answer to the proper authorities. The New York girl wisely said that if a person would lie about one item, It brands the whole discourse as absolute ly unreliable. Keep your iron ready and brand these "mavericks" whenever you lind them running loose. Y
