FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine That Does Not Cost Any
thing Unless 1t Cures.

If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever acute or chronic,
we VIII guarantee to supply you medi-
cine that will surely effect a cure if
taken with regularity and according to
directions for a reasonable length OF
time. Should the medicine fail u
benefit you to your entire satisfaction.
we promise that it shall cost you
| nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredient of this remedy which is
odorless, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable ingred-
ehts, 1t forms preparation which is
ihcoinparaple as perfect bowel
regulator. intestinal invigorator and
strengthener ReXall Orderlies are
notable for their agreeableness to the
palate and gentleness of action Thay
do not cause gripping or any disagree
able effect or inconvenience and may
be taken as any time day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexall
Orderlies for children. DELEGATE or aged
persons because they do not contain
anything that could possibly iniure the
most delicate organism. They are just
as, easy to take as candy and unlike
other preparations for like purpose
they do not create a habit, but in
stead they overcome the cause of
habits acquired through the use of
ordinary hxatives, cathartics and
harsh physic, and permanently remove
the cause of constipation or irregular
bowel action.
We want you 70 try Rexan orderlies
at our risk. We know that there j.
nothing that will d0.you so much good,
and we will refund your money with
out argument if they do not do as we
say they will. They are prepared in
tablet form in two sizes, of packages;
SO tablets, 25c., and II tablets, Zoe.

SALVATION ARMY
Will Observe Annual Week Of Self De
niaI, April II to 18, Inclusive.

The Salvation Army is actively en-
gagged in its annual Week of Prayer
and Self-Denial, which has now be-
come an established custom through
out the world. The dates fixed are
April IL to IS inclusive. Last year
the Army raised large sum by this
means. which enabled it to pursue its
missionary, spiritual and social work
with uninterrupted success.
Few persons seem to realize what a
vast and worldwide movement this
has become These modern crusaders
have now 21.02S officers and cadets
Gncluding sociaD under their banners,
working in 54 countries and colonies.
and in their own energetic way they
are preaching the Gospel to the poor
in about 80 different languages. 1T
appears from their recent returns that
the following countries and colonies
have been invaded Great Britain,
France, Sweden, Finland, Belgium,
Holland, Germany. Switzerland Den
mark. Norway. Gibraltar, Italy. Ice
land Malta India, Ceylon. Java. Japa q.
Cape Colony, Natal, Orange Free
State, Zululand, Mashonaland. Bechu-
analand Transvaal, st. Helena, Unit
ed States, Canada. Newfoundland. Ar
gentine. Uruguay, Bermuda. Hawaii,
Jamaica. British Guiana. Victoria. New
South Wales. Queensland South Aus
tralia. Western Australia. New Zeal
and, Tasmania. Special expeditions
are expected for China and the vast
territory Of Russia.
OF social institutions the Army has
now a vast net work numbering in Ill
about 500.
The Army always adopts some very
self-sacrificing measures in order to
raise the amount OF money agreed un-
on Every member. as well as The
friends of the movement, is being -
queSted to abstain from any articles
of food or clothing which may be con
sidered in the least degree luxurious
or unnecessary, and many of the nl
ficers are even denying themselves CT
that which many Of us are apt to re-
gard as absolute necessities in order
that they may contribute something
to the common fund.
That the effort will meet with sue
cess goes without saying, and there is
no doubt that the friends of the mOVH-
ment, recognizing the vast amount of
good already accomplished, will not
fail to afford their practical recogni-
ton when the proper time arrives.

Rev. George c. Williams Op-
timiStiC About Betterment
of Conditions

The Junior order Of United American
Mechanics turned out about five hundred
strong yesterday morning and heard a
special sermon at Epworth NJ. Z. Church
by the pastor, the Rev. George c. Will
liams. He took for his text the last clause
Of the third verse of the sixth chapter
Of Mark and said in part:
Men of virtue, of self-control, and of
self-sacriRce are the true noblemen, and
they should receive our respect, our con-
hdence and our support
MANY there are who like the men Of
Nazareth. can see no good in this age or
in this country. We are living in the best
age Of human history. To be sure. there
are many sins yet to be destroyed, there Is
much corruption to be suppressed; but in
spite Of these facts there never were more
corrective agencies at work for the de-
struction of sin as to-day. and there never
was the harmony between these agencies
as exist to-day. This is indeed a day OF
the square deal when men have the op-
portunity to improve their condition as
never before.
I'VE live in the best country in the
world. a country where all men are equal
under the law, and where the best things
and the highest places OF honor and trust
are open to ALL When we consider that
there is room in Texas alone to give each
of our eighty millions of people two acres
Of land. or ten acres to every family. we
get some idea Of the greatness Of this
land we call our own.
I'VE still have room for men and wo-
men Of honest purpose. men and women
Of industry and intelligence who desire to
become American citizens In the true
sense. to come to our shores. But we have
not one inch of space for the nihilist the
anarchist. the criminal, the lazy and
worthless men and women Of foreign
birth. All honor to the man who comes
to become an American citizen. Not enc
word of welcome TO him who comes to
create discord or rebellion"

SENTINEL" SATISFIED

Dover Sentinel
The announcement Of the judicial slate,
and the quiet and apparently every way
satisfactory primary election in Whining
ton, eases things up politically. That the
judicial slate is the vSry best one that
could be made of the material at the
Governors command, goes without say
ing.
The Governor is to be cordially con-
graduated upon the successful accom-
plshment Of what is probably to remain
the most important as well as the most
difficult duty, of his gubernatorial term.
Intrusted with power at the climax Of
the political revolution in which he was
a leader. he has the qualification and
honor of being the States Executive
when, for the first time in the half CEN
tury of the Republican party history. the
State is Republican in all its executive de-
partments. and is represented by a full
Republican delegation in the National
Congress.
The purpose OF prolonging this admir-
able political situation should inspire Re-
pubicans not only to unity OF effort, but
to doing Of all right things for the pro-
mOllon OF the Huuit WtAAoANf anu AtN
arousing Of a civic spirit that shall lift tie
State out-competely out-of the slough
into which long continued Democratic
misrule had put Il, and put 1t abreast Of
the times with the leading states in all
things just. honorable and progressive.
This is the duty that control of the state
puts upon the Republican party and its
executive representatives. The work is
not being neglected. Progress is being
made The party has demonstrated its
ability and it's purpose to do well i'm any
and all the positions Of authority and re-
sponsibility that have fallen TO IT, The
people know this and are evincing in
creased confidence i'm the party and in the
future OF the state. This condition OF
things despite Democratic deniais OF IT.
is the basis Of Republican confident ex
pectations of future election victories al
along the line. The city and the state
are to be kept I'm the Republican line.
