Ordinary Garth is a IN:

tressing COMPLAINTS.

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for
children. only the very gentlest
bowel medicine should ever be
given. Ordinary pi Is, ca hari S

cause gripping, nausea and other
distressing after-effecis that ale

a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend AID
guarantee Rexall 0rderli S as tn.
safest and most dependable rene
dy for constipation and associ-
hte bowel disord rs. We ha e
such absolute faith in the SUI
preme virtues of this rem dy
that we sell it on our gcaran-
tee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give en-
tire satisfaction, and we urge
all in need of such medicines 10
try it at our risk.
Rexall 0rderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is
odorless, tasteless and colorless.
1t embraces all the best quail
ii es of the soothing, laxative,
strengthening and healing rem :
dial active principles of the best
known intestinal regulator ton
les.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely
pleasant to take, are particular
ly prompt and agreeable in sc-
ton, may be taken at any time,
day or night; do not cause diarr-
hOea, nausea, gripping, excessive
loOseness, or other undesirable
effects. They have very natur-
al action upon the glands and
organs with which they come in
contact, act as a positive ard
regulative tonic upon the relay,
dry muscular coat of the bowel,
remove irritation, dryness and
soreness, overcome weakness and
tone and strengthen the nerves
and muscles, and restore the bow
els and associate organs to mOre
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure
constipation, but they remove the
cause of this ailment. They a.
80 overcome the necessity of con-
stantly taking laxatiVes to
keep the bowels in normal condi-
tion. IS.
There is really no similar medl-
cine so good as Rexall 0rderlies,

delicate persons. They are pre-

Abolish Hinh School Frats.

Boone News Republican: The
Council Bluffs school board is TO be
commended on its order abolishing
the high school frats at that place.
short time ago one OF the members
was nearly murdered in an initiation
which took place. That alone would
condemn the organization as a nui-

the whole history of high school frats
is one of mischief and insubordina-

satisfied with the high school system
and curriculum of that state, which do
not vary materially from those OF 9th

a. 10 pronounce the present course

lesg be taught about the English kings
and more about the prosecution OF
he grsfters of San Francisco, St.
Louis and Pittsburg.
Other criticisms were that college
professors have TOO much TO do with
making the high school curriculum,
while some think that the high school
course should be revised SO that the

Advice 70 Young Men.

Don't ask a girl to marry you
when she has her war paint on 60

STAY until about 10, then bid her good
night and accidentally leave one OF
your gloves on the piano.
GO back the next morning about
9 O'Clock after your gloves. Ring the
doorbell and if she comes to the door
with her hair done up in curl-papers
Motler Hubbard on and one shoe
on the other foot, you take to the
woods as fas. as you can.
But boys, go down and call on hel
