THEY INJuRE CHILDREN
Ordinary cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints

You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-

emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to
do more harm than good. They cause

after-effects that are frequently

We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con
stipation and associate bowel disor-
ders We have such absolute faith
in the virtues of this remedy that we
sell it on our guarantee of money
back in every instance where it fails
to give entire satisfaction and we
urge all in need of such medicine to
try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderles contain an entire
ly new ingredient which is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. AS an active
agent, it embraces the valuable. quail

Rexall Orderlies completely relieve

DIABETES

1t was not easy for us to believe
that Diabetes is incurable, but the
first case we came in personal touch
with was astonishingly convincing.
We were considering tne purchase
of Fulton's Compounds and were look
ing for cases to try them out on. One
of our number knew Charles A. New
ton, the Yardmaster OF the S. p. r. X.
Co., at Sacramento-a very worthy
man. He also knew that Newton had
Diabetes and was in a hospital in the
Capitol city and that his recovery
seemed impossible when he last heard
from him. A letter was written to
Newton that Fulton claimed ais Dia-
betes Compound cured Diabetes and
that we wanted to know from OUR
friends if this was so, and that if he
(Newton) would take it that we would
provcment by the third week.
send him a supply of it. Newton re-
piled to the effect that some four or
five months before we wrote him he
had heard about the compound, had
taken it that the sugar was. nearly
out and he was almost well. His com
plete recovery followed and he told
an S. p. engineer who had Diabetes
and he recovered
We also saw Gen. Theo. Reichert
of San Francisco go on this treatment
and get a complete recovery after ply
sicians had declared that the case
was hopeless. Gen. Reichert is
33rd degree Mason and is one of San
Franclscos most widely and favorably
known citizens.
We have seen hundreds recover
since and there is no longer any ques-
ton about Diabetes in people of mid
die age and over being durable.

Correcting
Bad Habits Won't Do

To cure torpid and inactive liver, more
is required than the mere correction of bad
habits. You change your diet, reform your
manners of living, but unless you assist
Nature your efforts won't be a success.
When the liver and bowels are acting
improperly, something must be done to put
them in condition again. There is lack of
tone in the liver action as well as in the
bowels. You feel depressed and untitled
for work, endurance and responsibility.

part tone to a tired liver, give the push
from-behind strength to torpid muscles.
They stimulate the circulation, and make
the liver active and the bowels regular. We
have thousands of letters telling of the
wonderful results of using these pills. Here

spondents -
Mrs. NJ. F. ARNOLD, of Saratoga Springs,

BOOST IN DIAMOND PRICES
Syndicate Gives Buyers Poorer Quail
ity, Says Report

An indirect way of pushing up the
prices of diamonds has been pursued
of late by the London syndicate, ac-
cording to reports received from buy
ers representing American Import
ers.
Instead of declaring each formal
advance, the syndicate has been Civ
ing the buyers poorer assortments so
that the practical effect is TO make
the stones dearer than they were be-
fore. The buyers who get their dia-
monds direct from the syndicate can
not make their own selections as to
quality and sizes of stones. The
buyer has only one option TO take the
lot exactly as ii is offered

A Bucksport Legend OF Colonial Days
In Maine.
Close by the road on the outskirts Of
che old seaport town of Bucksport, on
the Penobscot river, is small family
cemetery. Within its Enclosure sleep
the Bucks, the blue blooded folk who
first settled the town and bequeathed
1t their name and II legend.
The largest and most conspicuous
monument In the cemetery is a tall
granite shaft, which is in plain sight of
the highway. On one side is the in

Buck was very harsh man and the

ton. He was the highest IN civil au-
thority, and his word was law In the
community In which he resided. lie
was an out and out Puritan. and to
him witcheraft was the incarnation of
blasphemy. Thus so the story goes,
when certain woman was accused of
witchcraft, at the first clamorings of
the populace Colonel Buck ordered that
she be imprisoned. and later she was
sentenced to be executed as witch.
The execution day came and the
woman went to the gallows, curslng
her judge with such terrible words
that the people shuddered, but the
magistrate stood unmoved All was
ready. and the hangman was about to
perform his duty, when the woman
turned to Colonel Buck, and, raising
one hand toward heaven. she said
