ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails have had much to say relative Ia
a famous millionaire's offer of a mil
lion dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition Of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
STA to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurabe. His
misfortunes should serve as a warn
ing to others. Every one who suf-
fers with dyspepsia for a few years
will give everything he owns for a
rev stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state # the gastric juices. There is
one element missing-Pepsin The
absence Of this destroys the function
Of the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food
We are now able to supply the pep
sin in a form almost identical to that
naturally created by the system when
in normal health, so that it restores to
the gastric juices their digestive pow
er, and thus makes the stomach strong
and we'll
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain a box Of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain Bis
muth- Subnitratc and Pepsin prepared
by a process which develops their
greatest power to overcome digestive
disturbance.
ReX4l Dyspepsia Tablets gre very
pleasant 20 take. They soothe the ir-
r.tahlc, weak stomach, strengthen and
invigorate the digestive organs, relieve
rausea ard indigestion, promote nutu-
ton and bring about a feeling OF com
fort.
if you give Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets a reasonable trial we will return
your money if you are not satisfied
with the result Three sizes, p
cents, 50 cents and S1.OO. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in

TRAP NESTS FOR HENS.

Clever Contrivanes Which Gives the
Layers Privacy.
The trap nets described in this arti-
Gle are self regulating. When once set
they require no more attention through
the day. The hen when she wants to
lay enters nest at the lower opening.
The door closes automatically behind
the hen, which prevents any other hen
or anything else from bothering her
while on the nest.
There Is partition about eight
inches high which divides the interior
into two equal apartments. The hen
on entering the box, or reception
apartment, the first time in search OF
a nest is as sure to want to see what
Is over behind the partition as daylight
and dark come. In fact, she is hunt.
ing a place Of seclusion and a little

hind the partition she jumps upon the
partition board to get over in the nest,
which releases a small spring that
holds the shutters in place above the
entrance door, when the spring which
holds the shutter in place Is released
