REPUBLICAN CLUB WILL
Be ORGANIZED TONIGHT
Every Person of Republican Faith Is
Invited to Meet and Join
the Club.

A meeting has been called for this
evening at 8 o'clock at the council
chambers for the purpose of forming
a Taft-Jacobson republican club and
already a number of parties inter-
ested in the success of the
republican party at the coming
election are circulating member
ship rolls for signers. 1t is
the intention, as The PIONEER is
informed, to get as many signers as
possible before tonight's meeting and
at that meeting all those who have
not had a chance to sign the roll and
desire to do so will be given an
opportunity, after which the organi-
cation will be formed and perfected
by the election of officers.
More effective work can be done
by club organization than any other
way and it will be the aim to enlist
every republican in the city in this
work. The campaign slogan of the
club when organized will be the
PRONUNCIATION of republican princi.
piles.
Many of the Younger republicans,
first voters, are evincing an evident
interest in the present campaign
and it is particularly important that
they attend this meeting and identify
themselves and take a hand in the
organization, for it is up to them to
put the push and vim into the cam
paign.
Every republican in the city is
invited to attend this meeting re-
CARELESS of whether they have en-.
rolled their names on the books now
being circulated or not as it will be
impossible for everyone to be inter
| viewed by that time, but as many as
can sign before that time are re-
quested to do so in order to lessen
the work in that line this evening.

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. I.axatives or cathartics do much
harm. They cause a reaction, irritate
and weaken the bowels and make con-
stipation more chronic. Besides, 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 these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy evolved the labor of the
worlds greatest research chemists. 1t
possesses all the best qualities OF the
remedial active principle q Ire best
known intestinal tonics, and it il par
ticularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceeding
w 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 0rderlies at our
risk. A. J. Johnson, Viroqua, Wis.

This new relationship seems to

distracted man went out and per-
