Kings Daughters Notes.

Not long since | was asked by 9

ters, who was the KingH | told her
God was our King. / hear his voice
in my inner consciousness, God is
King. Then let as realize the respons.
ibility of the position we fill as King g
Daughters. Alas ALIAS What shifting
of responsibility there is among us
who profess to be on business for the
King, What special excuses we offer.
Think we not that the King sees
through the flimsy veil with which
we would fain cover our responsibility
There are sutferings to assuage, pow
erty to alleviate, sad hearts to cheer,
the discouraged to be nerved with a
mighty hope, the dying to be guided
to tho Haven of Rest, the living to be
pointed to the Lamb of God. The po.
sition of the Kings Daughters is that
of solemn responsibility. The King IS
business requires haste.
We will do so much in the years to
come, But what have we done today :
We shall give our gold in princely
sum, But what did we give today
We shall lift the heart and dry the
tear, We shall plant hope in the
place of fear, We shall speak the
words of love and cheer, But what
did we speak today2

cessful defiance of law for more than
generation was brought to the at

done, the matter was brought to the
attention of the governor, who sent an
armed force with the sheriff and with
officers of the penitentiary to capture
Adkison and to overcome any resistance
to lawful authority that might be
made by his kin or friends. There
was no other course for the state to
take. Addison has never asked any
pardon, probably realizing that there
was nothing in his case to base an ap-

for liberty was the murder of whoever

CONFIDENCE
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation and
Money.

We are SO positive that we
can cure constipation, no matter
how chronic it may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine free of
cost if we fail.
It's worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or ca
thartics do much harm. They
cause reaction, irritate and weaken
the bowels and make constipation
more chronic. Besides. their use
becomes habit that is dangerous
and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect a cure you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
those organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
The discovery of the active
principle of our remedy evolved
the labor of the worlds creates,
research chemists. It possesses all
the best qualities of the remedial
active principle of the best known
intestinal tonics, and it is particular
lly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Or.
deTlies on our guarantee. They are
exceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They act direct
1y on the nerves and muscles Of the
bowels. They have a neutral action
on other organs or glands. They
do not purge or cause any incon-
venience whatever. They will posi-
lively cure chronic or habitual
constipation and the myriads of
asso ciate or dependent chronic all
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk Two sizes, 25c and 1Oc.
