THE DOCTORS
QUESTION
Some Advice Against the Use
of Harsh Purgatives
and Physics

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is. Are your bowels
regular?" He knows that SO ner cent.
of illness is attended with inactive bow
and torpid liver. This condition
poisons the system with waste matter
and causes accumulation of gases which
must be removed through the bowels
before health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
TLrough.-thcir harsh, irritating action
they Iorce passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the del
ieate intestinal structure which weak
ems the whole system, and at hest only
produces temporary relief. The re-
peated use of such treatments causes
chronic irritation of the stomach and
bowels, dries and hardens their tissues,
deadens their nerves, stiffens their
muscles and generally brings about an
injurious habit which sometimes has al
most, if not fatal results.
We have a pleasant and safe remedy
for constipation and bowel disorders in
general. We are 80 certain of its great
curative value that we promise to re-
turn the purchaser money in every
case where it fails to produce entire
satisfaction. This remedy is called
kexall Orderlies. We urge you to try
them at our entire risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy,
they act quietly and have a soothing,
strengthening, healing, regulative in
fluence on the entire intestinal tract.
They do not purge, grippe, cause nausea,
flatulence, excessive loosenese, diar-
rhoea or other annoying effects, and
they may be taken at any time without
inconvenience.
Rexall 0rderlies overcome the drug
ging habit and safely remedy constipa-
ton and associate ailments, whether
acute or chronic, except in surgical
cases. They are especially good for
children, weak persons or old folks
Price, SO tablets 25 cents, and IL tab
let's 10 cents. Remember you can OBJ

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The city school board and teaching
force of the public and training schools
were entertained, Saturday last, at the
j. E. Nuzum home. A delightful even
ing was spent in getting acquainted and
in playing musical games. A delicious
luncheon was served about IL O'Clock.
Misses Joyce and H arris assisted Mrs.
Nuzum and Ethel in serving.
A beautiful pearly NAUTILUS saelI was
presented recently to the high school
by F. w. Alexander.
A sanitary drinking fountain has been
installed for trial in the stone building.
Patrons of the school are cordially in
vited to step into the lower hall OF the
stone, when passing, and inspect this
fountain.
The boys debating club held its first
meeting Monday night Negotiations
are under way for debates with Sparta
and La Crosse in the triangular league.
The lectures to be given next -eek
in the high school assembly room will
probably bring many people to the
building. Plan to come a little early
and visit class or two before the
lecture. Drop into the manual training
or the domestic science room, or the
grade or class in which your child-or
your neighbor sis, and see now things
are going for yourself.
Many of the teachers are planning to
attend the Western Wisconsin Teach
ers' association in La Crosse, October
22-23. Supt. Gardner and Principals
Smith and Colburn are on the program.
Supt. Gardner to lead in discussion,
Principal Smith to conduct the rural
and graded section, while Principal
Colburn has charge of the physic round
table. The entire program will be
given next week.
An earnest effort is being made by
the teachers to improve our record in
attendance and punctuality. Parents
are urged to cooperate with the school
in this matter, and to see that their
children are in school every day unless
kept out for some excellent reason.
The members of the Sophomore man
ual training class recently completed
carpenters bench which Mr.. Overton
installed in the physics room. This will
be great convenience to the instructor
and pupils of the science department.
