Mr. Arthur W. A'Beeket in his "Recol
lections of a ITuniorlst" describes bis
first dny In the war office. After read
ing the Times through no short task
and listening to the conversation of his
colleagues for awhile he ventured to
address his chief.
"Can I do anything?" I asked. "Is
there anything for me to do?"
lie seemed a little perplexed. The
other denizens of the room paused for
a moment in their conversation to bear
his reply. It seemed to mo that they
appeared to be amused. My chief look
ed at me and then at the papers In
front of him.
"Ah!" said he at last, with a sigh of
relief. "Are you fond of Indexing?"
I replied I was fond of anything and
everything that could be of the slight
est service to my country. If those
were not the exact words I used, that
was the spirit of my answer.
"I see, a glutton for work," observed
my chief, with a smile that found re
flection on the faces of my other col
leagues. "Well, A'Beeket, just Index
this pile of circulars."
I seized upon the bundle and return
ed to my desk. Ob, how I worked at
those circulars! There were hundreds
of them, and I docketed them with the
greatest care and entered their purport
Into a book. From time to time my
official chief, so to speak, looked In
upon me to see how I was getting on.
"I soy," said he, "there's no need tc
be In such n desperate hurry. I arc
not In Immediate need of the Index.
You can take your time, you know.
Wouldn't you like a stroll In the park?
Most of us have n little -walk during
the day. We none of us stand on cere
mony and are quite a happy family."
But, no; I stuck to my Indexing and
after some three days of fairly bard
work found my labors done. I took up
the bundle of circulars, now in ipple
pie order, and laid them on my chiefs
desk.
"I say, A'Beeket," said he, "this
won't do. You are too good a fellow to
be allowed to cut your own throat, and
for your brother's sake I will give you
a tip. Don't do more than you are
asked to do. Now, I gave you those
circulars to Index because yon would
bother me for work. I didn't want the
Index. Now it's done It's not the least
bit of use to me. Of course it may
come in useful some day, but I scarce
ly see how it can, as the lot are out of
date. But of course It may," he added
to save my feelings.

a tonlo iron and wine. YInol creates
a hearty appetite, tones up the organs
of digestion and makes rich, red blood.
In this natural manner, Vinol creates

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING
This Statement May be Generally At
tributed to the Lack of Good Health.
We want to talk to people who are nerv
ous, who suffer frequent headaches, who
don't enjoy their food, who are Irritable,
quickly lose their temper, are so tired and
worn out that they feel they must give up,
and have become so despondent that life
doesn't seem worth living. We know
exactly what is the matter with people in
this condition, and if they will follow pur
advice, we can tell them how to regain
good health and that bouyancy of feeling
which makes life seem all sunshine and
happiness.
' Most of the above described conditions
are chiefly caused by catarrhal inflamma
tion of the mucous membranes. This deli
cate web-like lining of the body becomes
iirilamed and congested until weakness and
menial depression follows. The only way
that this can be overcome is through a
treatment of the blood. We have tho
treatment, and we are so positive that it
will produce the results we claim forit that
we will supply it to anyone wilh the under
standing that we will return to them every
penny they paid us in every instance where
the treatment is not in every way satisfac
tory and beneficial to them.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone,
which is a powerful nutritive tonic and
body builder, and a mucous membrane al
terative that cleanses these membranes
and restores their natural and healthy
functions.
Rexall Mucu-Tone drives out all the
catarrhal poison, restores the mucous cells
to good health, tones up the whole system,
allays inflammation, removes congestion,
and stimulates the whole system to healthy
activity. It is splendid for building up
flesh and muscle tissue and removing all
weaknesess.
Come to our store today and get a bottle -of
Mucu-Tone, and after givingit a reason
able trial, if you are not satisfied simply
tell us so, and we will hand back vour
money without question. Surely, nothing
could be more fair than this. Two sixes,
50 cents and r. oo.
