We have heard of some pretty good
sweet corn grown for the factory this
year. One of these fields was cared
for by Charles Boyle and contained
thirteen acres. For the corn he deliv-
cred to the factory he received $500
and he still has the corn fodder which
is worth as much to dairy farmer
as hay which could have been grown
on the same amount of land. Then
J. W. Miller had good field it was
into large but he says he got seven
tons per acre therefrom. Aug. Holzer
also had fine yield and he is we'll
satisfied with the results from his
sweet corn held. There are many
others who did we'll with their sweet
corn and had it not been for the exceed
lngly high water of last summer every
farmer who had sweet corn planted
would have received big returns. Ell

CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.

We are so positive that we can cure
constipation, no matter how chronic
it may be, that we offer to furnish
the medicine free of all cost if we fail.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm They cause reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic. Pc.
sides, their use becomes habit that
is dangerous and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect cure you must Therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy evolved the labor
of the world s greatest research chem
lists. 1t possesses all the best qualities
of the remedial active principle OF the
best known intestinal tonics, and it
is particularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceeding
ly pleasant to take and are ideal for
children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They have a neutral action on other
organs or glands. They do not purge
or cause any inconvenience whatever
They will positively cure chronic or
habitual constipation and the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic all
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Brunt & Parman, Water st. De-
corah, Iowa.
