Ever Welcome Flowers.

The petunia is of remarkably easy
culture and makes a brilliant and con-
slant show. For beds where bril-
liant color display is desired, few an
nuals surpass the Shirley poppy. Its

flowers are double and some are sin
gle. The colors range from purest
white to scarlet. The nasturtium is

easiest flowers to grow. flourishing in
almost any soil where there is good
sunlight.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH .

This Offer Should be Warning to
Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical
journals recently had much to say
relative to a famous millionaires'
offer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great mu1ti-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
tion of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to
worse until in the end it became in
durable.
His misfortune was warming to
others.
Everyone who suffers with dys-
pepsia for a few years will give
everything he owns for new
stomach. 23
Dyspepsia is caused by an a0nor-
NAL state Of the gastric juices.
There Is one element missing. The
absence Of this destroys the fun
ton of the gastric fluids. They
lose their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the
missing element-to restore to the
gastric juices their digestive power,
and to make the stomach strong AMI
well.
We know that Rexal1 Dyspepsia
Tablets will positively and ger
manently cure disordered stom achs,
indigestion and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and
will return your money il you are
not more than satisfied with the
result.
