W. Howells, whose death occurred last Friday noon, the funeral being held Sunday. Mr. Howells was well known to many of this city, having been a friend of the Bowers family for many years. For several years he had been a traveling salesman, and had his headquarters at Fort Wayne. He had been a sufferer from stomach trouble, and last Wednesday, while in Terre Haute, had been felling much worse. He reached into his ; pocket for some stomach tablets which he kept there, and put one into ■ his mouth. Instead of the relief he I expected, he soon began to suffer intensely, and remembering that he also carried some tablets of bi-chlor-ide of mercury in his pocket, he inj vestigated and found that he had tak!en one of those. He hastened to a physician, but all attempts to help i him failed. The stuff had eaten in to his stomach, and through the .' blood vessels, causing vomiting of ' blood from the stomach. His death occurred at the home of his mother. ( The deceased was twenty-eight years of age.

He will two or three times each month give away some j kind of a dish, and to have the entire I set you should be sure to secure this I first piece on Thursday. If you get ■ this you will surely want the others | as each gets better and more valu- . able. The set includes a number of handy dishes and they are worth the attention of any lady in Decatur. o Mr. and Mrs. B. D.

We want to talk >o people who are nervous, who suffer frequent headaches, who don't enjoy ‘heir food, who are irritable, quickly lose their temper, -who are so exhausted that they feel they! must give up. and have become so despondent that life doesn’t seem worth living. We believe we know what is the matter with these people tn this condition, and if they will follow our advice we can tell them how to regain good health and that buoyancy of feeling which makes life seem surrounded with happiness and sunshine. Most of the above described conditions are chiefly caused by what is commonly called catarrh, a "below par" condition of mucous membranes. This delicate lining of certain of the body cavities becomes weakened, inflamed and congested until the whole system is weakened, mental depression ensuing as one of the results. The wise way to overcome this condition is through a treatment of the general system. Ms have the treatment, and we are positive it will produce the results we •claim for ft that we will supply it » any one with the understanding that we will return to them every penny paid us in every instance where the treatment is not in every way satisfactory and beneficial to them. We want you to try Rexall MuchTone, which is a scientifically devised alterative tonic and body builder, its action being to aid the body in Its effort to re-establish the natural and ’healthy functions of the mucous membranes. Rexall Mucu-Tone thus acts to expel the "catarrhal poison," restore the mucous cells to good health, tone up the whole body, allay inflammation, remove congestion and stimulate the system to healthy activity. It splendid for aiding in the building up of flesh and muscle tissue and removing weaknesses. Come to our store an dget a bo tie of Mucu-Tone, and after giving a reasonable trial, if you are «ot sa Isfied, simply tell us so, and w hand back your money without question. Surely -nothing could be more fair than this. Rexall Mucu ‘J°l comes in’two sizes, 50 cents and Remember you tan obtain lv Remedies in Decatur only at ° ur —the Rexall Store.
