The man who -scrupulously studies what is best for him physically and mentally, and has the stamina to follow his conclusions, has the true conception of what may be called manly self-control. When Judge Taft reached the conclusion that his physical well-being demanded the exclusion of alcoholic beverages and then firmly resolved that he would henceforth have none of it, he simply adopted the self-restraint that other strong-willed men imposed upon themselves. Only men of stamina are capable of doing this. —South Bend Times. The Berne Witness is grieved at

our flippant use of English in disposing of the twenty-seven thousand dollars spent by the anti-saloon league in Indiana. It at least brought forth the first and only published explanation of the use of this money. The amount involved is considerable capital, and if we understand it, is paid by the many thousand contributors in the state. We have no criticism to make of the distribution of this vast sum, but as a matter of fact we w’ill still stand by our statement, that a part of the twenty-seven thousand dollars looks good to some of those engaged in the work of the league. According to this great “business” age this is not altogether a reflection upon those engaged in anti-saloon work. The Witness will remember that the greatest issue in the last campaign was that Taft’s election meant so much for business. Business was placed before any other issue,

moral or economic. With business occupying the center of the stage, the anti-saloon workers should feel their importance and be in the work because it pays.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST The Awful Toll Collected by Consumption. If people could only understand that Catarrh is an internal scrofula —that nothing applied externally does much good—they would not need to be warned so about this fatal disease, which, when neglected, invariably ends up in, Consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed. Catarrh is caused by germs in the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. (Although the effects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure Catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Catarrh a specialty, and whose record of success was a cure in every case Where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall MucuTone. We are so positive that it will cure Catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall MucuTone 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. The prices are 50c. and sl. Very often the 50c. size effects a cure. Os course, in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such instances is three SI.OO bottles.
