MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump
tion Many Unnecessary
Deaths
If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications cannot
cure they would not need to be
warned to often about this malady
which when neglected paves the
way oftentimes tor consumption at
tne cost of millions of lives every
year Yet catarrh may be cured if
tne rignt treatment is employed
The only way to succesfuily treat
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 in
ternal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
fection of consumption and other dis
eases
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a specialty and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed That rem
edy is Rexall Mucu Tone We are so
positive that it will completely over
come 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 or for any reason does
not satisfy the user
We want you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone on our recommendation
guarantee We are right here where
you live and you do not contract
any obligation or risk when you try

Trainmen Matters
Division chairmen of the order of
railway conductors and brotherhood
of railway trainmen are meeting in
Chicago during the present week to
take up with the management of the
Burlington railroad matters relating
to the application of the new rate of
pay to the schedule The conductors
were given a straight 10 per cent
raise in pay and this increase affects
every trainman in the service includ
ing flagmen baggagemen brakemen
and conductors
Some revision of the rules will be
insisted on and the conference may
extend over several days because of
the large amount of detail work to be
gone over The conference began on
Wednesday It is said the revision
will be made without further hint of
labor trouble and that much of the
work to be done is largely clerical
The conductors and trainmen are
proud of the fact that their recent
conference with the managers was so
well conducted that there was no
hint of labor trouble no scare for
business interests and no thought of
a strike
Concessions made by the western
lines to their conductors and train
men in the settlement of the latters
wage demands at Chicago will entail
an addition to the payrolls of the sev
eral companies of 5000000 a year
in the aggregate Fifty roads were
concerned in the controversy and the
increase in wages granted was on a
10 per cent basis 75000 employes be
ing benefitted Taken in conjunction
with the settlement effected by the
same roads to their engineers a short
time ago the agreements provide a
total of 9000000 increase in wages
for the employes of those lines with
in a week A total of 20000 conduc
tors and 55000 trainmen will be bene
fitted by the new agreement
