A LIBERAL OFFER
Crenshaw & Young Guarantee TO Cure
Dyspepsia. If They Fail, the Medi.
cine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the
people of Lexington that indigestion
and dyspepsia is durable and that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will effect
the cure, we will furnish the medl-
cine absolutely free if it fails to give
complete satisfaction to anyone Civ
ing it a trial.
The remarkable success of ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new and successful method of
manufacture, whereby the we'll
known properties of Bismuth, Subni-
trate and Pepsin have been combined
with carminiative and their agents.
Dismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute indi-
gestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets is manufactured by a new
process which develops its greatest
efficiency. Pepsin supplies 20 the
digestive apparatus one of the most
important elements of the digestive
fluid, and exerts a tonic influence up
on all the glands which supply all the
other elements necessary to proper
assimilation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the distur.
Dances and pain caused by undigestet
food.
The perfect combination of these
ingredients make a remedy absol.
utely incompatible and invaluable
for the complete cure of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We are SO positively certain o.
this that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets on our own personal guaran
tee that they will either ure you Of
cost you nothing. Three sizes "a, a
and 80 cents, Sold by Creushaw 8

CADETS BEAT MIDGETS
Take a Fast Game of Basket Ball From
The K. c. A. c. Saturday.

in the fastest game of basket ball
seen for a long time on the Wentworth
court the cadet tive took a plum from
the X. c. A. C at a score of 30 to %.
The good playing was made possible
by the strict rulings of Referee Can
non of Kansas City. He was quick
and correct on calling fouls aud penal
lied every instance of rough play.
He awarded the visitors two free
points and the cadets one. He called
four fouls on the crowd for question
ing his decisions.
The Wentworth team played in
fniyely better than it did a week be-
fore against W%arrensburg. Garzee
shot baskets with the deadliest &c
curacy and Hoge several times
dropped in the ball at the proper
psychological moment. Wentworth
made l3 baskets while the Midgets
made only five. 1t was on fouls that
the visitors made their best showing.
Randolph, who was substituted for
Moore in the second half, made seven
fouls, nearly every one of which gave
the Milgets a score. Browaeil and
Summers did the clever work for the
visitors.

GOES TO THE HOSPITAL
Mrs. Woolley Becomes Voluntary
Patient at Watettown.

Mrs. Antonio Woolley, woman
who has been causing the police mat
rons of this city and Davenport con-
siderable trouble for the past few
months, was taken to the WATERFOWL
hospital for the insane today, as a
voluntary patient. Mrs. Woolley,
who is still a young woman, is the
mother of a family of five children
and for the last five or six years she
and her husband lived in happiness
at Coal Valley. Then Mrs. Woolley
went wrong and when her husband
found it out he left her and was
later arrested on a charge of aban-
donment. The case was dismissed,
however, as it was found that he had
good and sufficient reason for not
living with her. She then drifted to
Davenport and was sent back here
after a time. 1t was found that she
was mentally weak, but she was too
clever to let jury think her insane
and what to do with her became a
question which was finally solved by
getting her to sign an application
for admittance to the hospital as a
Voluntary patient.
