THE CAUSE OF COIib.
Good Advice Regarding the Preven
tion of Coughs and Colds.
If people would only fortify and
strengthen their system, about 98 per
cent of conghs, colds and pneumonia
nwht be avoided. These troubles are
simply the result of weakness, which
. produces a catarrhal condition of the
mucous membrane, which is as an in
ternal skin of the body. When this
skin is weakened, it becomes infected
with germs which are carried through
the system by the blood. These para
sites attack and break these delicate
tissues aud set up a soreness which
produce what is in reality an external
scrofula.
The only thing that wili cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and car
ried by the blood so that thd diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned, sooth
ed and healed.
We have a remedy which we hon
estly believe infallable and unsurpass
able for the prevention and cure of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi
tions. It is the prescription of a fa
mous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of 30 years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect a cure in eveiy
case or make no charge for the medi
cine. We urge everybody in Oxford
who has need of such a medicine to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
It stands to reason that we could not
afford lo make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Prices 50c. and $1.00. Sometimes a
50c. bottle is sufficient for a cure. As
a general thing, the most chronic case
is cured with an average of three large
bottles. Remember, the medicine will
cost you nothing if you are not satisfi
ed in every particular. J. G. Hall,
Main Street.
Tlr Dr W Month.
October is called the dream month
of the year. The promise of seed time
and harvest has been fulfilled, the
fruits of field, garden and forest gath
ered and garnered and the husband
man feels that natnro has repaid him
for the long, hard months of toil that
l'e behind. Then come tli3 still days,
t'le golden sunshine, the hazy, smoke
tinged atmosphere, the balmy airs
scented with the pungent fragrance of
ripened fruits and foliage. Falling
leaves strew the pathways and choke
t!ie while tree and shrub and vine are
clothed with brilliancy of coloring no
painter's brush can rival. The gor
geousness and glory of the sunrises
and sunsets are wonderful, and neither
brush, pen nor word can imprison
their subtleties of tint -and shade.

From the earliest days of the ring the

Storm of Canary Birds.
It happened in the night, and, ac
cording to the yarn spun yesterday by
Captain Sandberg, of the Panama lin
er City of Para, it must have been a
night of terror.
The ship was midway between' Aca
jutla and San Jose de Guatemola,
which is a latitude in which the unus
ual is the expected. The time was be
tween 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning,
and it was very dark. Suddenly an
electric storm of great ferocity came
up from a revolutionary republic on
the starboard quarter, accompanied by'
waterspouts, St. Elmo's fire, and a
great flock of canary birds. Every
one krfows that St. Elmo's fire and
waterspouts are common off the coast
of Acajutla, but the canary birds are
a novelty.
At the , first stroke the lightning
blew out the fuse in the ship's dynamo
and she became as dark as an aban
doned trolley car. Then the St. El
mo's fire let on the foretopmast and
split the ball at the top of the topmast
exactly into hemispheres. One of
these fell into the water; the other
struck the bridge and almost hit Sec
ond Officer Heckert.
Third Officer Zual, who had been
off watch below, ran on deck. All the
passengers followed Zual to the deck,
and the captain says that the passen
gers thought the end of the world had
come. The storm was bad enough and
the lightning was blinding, but it was
t!ie great birds that flew in the faces
of the startled passengers in the dark
ness that caused the indescribable ter
ror.
It lasted for an hour, and in the
morning, when the storm had passed
and the sun rose, there on the decks,
covering the awnings and almost fill
ing the boats lashed on the upper deck
were thousands of dead and dying ca
nary birds. Captain Sandberg says
there were thousands of them. Some
of them had blundered into the state
rooms in the darkness after the elec
trie lights were out.
So the City of Para came safely
through the storm when it rained ca
nary birds,all save the gilt ball at the
top of the foretopmast, half of which
wis lost overboard. San Francisco
