The memorial is protected by a wire

Every RexalI Formula IS
Public Property And
Always Has Been

This is an age Of inquiry. Not since the
time of the Civil War has there been so much
agitation in the minds Of the people on various
subjects
People want to know" about everything.
We do not say that the public has grown
skepdcal-quite the contrary. We believe it is
day and age Of enlightened, intelligent inquiry
after facts.
Each man and each woman nowadays
wants to do his and her own thinking They are
not looking for any concentrated essence Of Wis
dom boiled down and given 10 them in capsule
FORM They want to figure out for, themselves
what is right and what is wrong and what to do
about it.
Public sentiment has forced the government
of the United States to pass a law compelling
medicine manufacturers to state on their labels any
injurious ingredients their remedies may contain
We believe that the Rexal remedies have
had as much to do with the creation Of this senti-
ment as any other one single element in the
country.
Why2
Simply because the Rexall remedies from
their inception several years ago. started out on
entirely new line.
The first principle in the Rexal platform
was one remedy for each ill-not cure-all.
Second-no secret combinations. Every
formula has always been open to the public; any
one can know what he is taking when he buys
Rexall-and always could.
Third-every Rexall remedy has been sold
on the basis of money back" if you are not
more than satisfied.
This is frank, square, open-handed business,
that's ALL But it made Rexall the greatest success
in the medicine world in a very short time.

THE faint WHICH INJURIES VAUDEVILLE

Within the last year the number OF cheap theaters
especially Of the 0eent class, has shown astonishing IN

The fact is patent Also that these cheap heaers have
obtained patronage far exceeding that of the
called standard high-peed theaters No intelligent OBJ
server can doubt that they exertng marked influence
not unmixed with evil upon the morals of the country
This is especially regards children. who flock TO
these places in large numbers finding the price Of admission

Fancy Apples For Market.

Every grower, If only actuated by
selfish motives, should put nothing
but fancy Al stock on the market.
Second grade fruit should go to the
evaporation and cider mill. do not be-
lieTe in special grades for cooking
purposes. They rarely bring more than
SIPS per BARREL and at this figure, con-
sidering cost Of package and labor, are
hardly equal to evaporation or cider
mill prices, while they seriously injure
the market for good apples. Some or
chardists are very sanguine concerning
the apples future, but with the infinite
increase in acreage during late years
am exceedingly fearful Of bear markets
in years to come. The only way in
which / can see an assured and rosy
future for the apple, remarks writer
in Country Gentleman, is for every
grower to have only so large an orchard
as he can perfectly care for, to destroy
all trees past their bearing prime, to
have low or fairly low headed trees on
account of spraying for scale, to have
only good or high grade varieties--in
other words, to place only the finest
fruit on the market, SO that the buyer
will be 50 pleased that a. taste for ap-
pies will have been created, and where
one apple Is eaten now dozen will be
consumed next year, and so on. q
