Try Dilaxin for Your Bowels
It Is FOR the Bowels

Please understand that mere movement
OF the bowels Is not the only thing that
the remedy taken must produce. 1t must
also clean tho bowels thoroughly so that
they may gain strength. Now, nothing can
do this except DilaIin. c. G. Pills. Gallo
mel. EPSON Salts. Mineral Waters, etc.
all fall short Of being able to clean the
bowels thoroughly from the stomach on
down. They only affect small strip OF the
lower bowel. hence you can take them for a
lifetime and never be relieved OF the neces
sity OF taking them.
With Dilaxin It Is different The very first
dose means the beginning Of the end OF the
necessity OF taking anything FOR moving
your bowels. Try DiaXin In preference to
anything else the next time you buy some
thing for the bowels. You will not only
find It unfailing In results. but these result $
themselves will convince you that at last
you have found something that really
reaches the seat OF your trouble.

Further Drop Looked For.

Eggs are cheaper In the New York
market, and the weather outlook lndl-
Gates a further decline that is likely to
carry prices down from 10 to 10 cents a
dozen before the bottom Is reached. The

daily. Most OF the stock is practically
all fresh, as very few storage esgs are
now in the market.
Prices TO consumers to-day in different
shops will vary from to cents for the
same grade OF eggs. The few best can
be had from 10 10 As cents, but most of
the sales OF what are called good" eggs

price will be IS cents, though fair stock
will be sold for from 81 to SO cents.
