Trees and Wind.
The effect of wind upon trees is
powerful, liven tlie presence or ah
seme of forests may lie determined
by the character of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify ib
The wind ads as a drying agent, giv-
ing n special asiiect to many plants
When it is almost always from the
same quarter the plants show greater
development upon one side, 'l rees are
smaller on the windward edges of for
ests, mid minks and branches are
bent to leeward. The deformations
are most marked near the, sea or in
flat regions. The cherry, plum, wal
nut. tiiack poplar, ash and certain
pines are very sensitive to the wind,
but mountain pines and certain lirs
offer great powers of resislance, ami
these are recommended for reforesting
wind swept lauds.

When a medicine effects a suc-
cessful treatment in a very large
majority of cases, and when we offer
that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing if it does not completely re-
lievo catarrh, it is only reasonable'
that people should believe us, or at
'east put. our claim to a practical
test when we take all the risk. Tnese
are facts which we want the people
to substantially. We want them to
try ftexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from a prescription of a
physician with whom catarrh was a
specialty, and who has a record of
thirty years of enviable success to
ins record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do
all other catarrh remedies sold in
our store, and if more people only
knew what a thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone , is, it
would be the only catarrh remedy
we would have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly ab-
sorbed and bV its thereapeutie effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucous membraneous tract,
to destroy and remove the parisites
which injure the meipbraneous tis-
sues to soothe the Irritation ,and
heal the soreness, stop the mucous
discharge, build up strong, healthy
tissue and relieve the blood and sys-
tem of diseased matters. Its in-
fluence is toward stimulating tire
muco-cells, aiding digestion and im-
proving nutrition until tlie whole
body vibrates with healthy activity.
In a comparatively short time it
brings about a noticeable gain in
weight, strength, good color and feel-
ing of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, beginning a treatment today.
At any time you are not satisfiad,
simply come and tell us, and we
will quickly return your money
without question or quibble. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in tw;o sizes,
■'0 cents and $1.00. Remember you
can obtain Rexail Remedies in Sher-
man»onlv at our store,—The Rexall

F. C. Donald, commissioner of the
Central Traffic association, has de-
nied that the roads belonging to this
association have refused) to sell tick-
ets to Europe by the vessels of in-
dependent steamship companies. Mr.
•Donald says that it has been the prac-
tice lor years for railways to pay
a 1" per cent' commission to steam-
ship companies which sell railway
tickets to immigrants. The agents al-
ways are instructed that passengers
exercise their own judgment in se
lecting the railway over which to
travel. All that the railways have
done is to refuse to deal with any
except responsible persons.
The total cost of tile wreck of the
Quebec bridge was disclosed in Par-

unused steel on hand is $300,00*1-
He said also that a number Of
bids for the new bridge has been sub-
mitted. but that it was not in the
public interest to disclose them at
present. There is a difference ot

bers of the new bridge commission,
who have agreed to submit their dif-
ferences to M. .1. Butler of the Do-
minion Steel corporation and W. H.
Hodge of New York.

STORY OF A LOAN.
A Case Where the Statute of Limita
tions Was Not Considered
A well known Kansas hunker told
a story tin* other day alsitit tin1 statute
of limitations There is a simile in it
plus some good philosophy,.
One day an old southerner walked
into this banker's office .The south
erner was a typical gentleman of the
old school, suave, courteous lo th<
point of punctiliousness and honorable
to a degree of marl\ rdoin.
"What call I do for you?" asked the
hanker.
"Well," replied tin- southerner
"about thirty live years ago I loaned
a man *1 avii south some money not a
very big sum. I .lold him that when
ever 1 should need it I would let Jiim
know and in: could pay me the money
1 need some money now. so I shall let
him know, and I would like lo Ini'*'
you transact tlie business for me"
"My good friend." replied tire hank
er, "you have no claim on that money
You can’t hold that Mj^n m ilutt loan
You say it has been tliiuy live year*
since you loaned it to him? Tlie
statute of.limitations lias run against
that loan years ami years ago"
"Sir.” replied tlie southerner, "tic-
man to whom I loaned that money H
a gentleman. The 'statute **l liticio
tions lie) er runs against a gentleman '
So tin- hanker sent for tIt*- money.,
and within a reasonable time there
after the money came There was a
