Mrs. NJ Auoxxard Dead

Maggie A. Howard, wife of William
Howard, passed from this life Feb. 8,
1909, aged 50 years, months, being
one of a family of eight children of
Robert G. and Mary Skillen, five Of
whom survive her, John, of California;
GAVIN, of Iowa; Robert, Of New York;
Elizabeth, Of Ohio; Jane, of Michigan.
She was married to William Howard
Nov. 30, 1873, one son, Clark W., being
born to their union Sept. 4, 1879. Both
husband and son survive her.
They resided in Oakfield township
thirty-four years of their married life.
Being religiously inclined, she was a
devoted wife, kind and loving mother.
In her last years she was great suf-
fered, but often visited the sick, striving
TO relieve them in their Affections. She
was kind neighbor and true friend,
belovedlby all who knew her. Being a
pioneer, she will be greatly missed and
the bereaved husband and son have the
sympathy of the entire community.
Remember her kindly for what she
hath done,
Grief-stricken husband and heart
broken son;
Call her not back TO this sad world of
care,
But strive in your sorrow to meet her
up there,
Where the angels rejoice around the
white throne,
And parting from loved ones and
death are unknown.
Kindly remember the deeds she hath
done,
That your loss is her gain to that
beautiful home
Where sickness and sorrow can enter
no more,
Or cast their dark shadows on that
evergreen shore,
Where in pure robes of white our loved
ones will stand
And welcome us home to that beau
tiful land.

THEY INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Cathartics and pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distress
Ing Complaints

You cannot be over-careful i'm the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathar-
tics and purgatives are too aIH TO do
more harm than good. They cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently health
destroying and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
|antee ReXall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy for constipa-
ton and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith i'm the supreme
virtues OF this remedy that we sell il on
our guarantee OF money back in every
instance where il fails TO give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all i'm need of
such medicine 10 try il at our risk.
ReXall Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless, taste
less and colorless. 1t embraces all the
best qualities of the soothing, laxative,
strengthening and healing remedial
active principles of the best known in
festival regulator tonics
ReXall Orderlies are extremely pleas
ant TO take, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be taken
ut any time, day or night, do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relax, dry
muscular coat of the bowel, remove
irritation, dryness and soreness, over
come weakness, and tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles and restore the
bowels and associate organs To more
vigorous and healthy activity.
ReXall Orderlies not only cure con-
stipation, but they remove the cause of
this ailment. They also overcome the
necessity of constantly taking laXatives
TO keep the bowels in normal condition.
There is really no similar medicine
SO good as ReXall Orderlies, especially
for children, aged and delicate persons.
They are prepared in tablet form and
in two sizes of packages; II tablets, 10c,
and SO tablets, 25c. Connell Bros,
