SIMPLER LIFE FOR MONKS
Capuchins Wear Hats and Shoes and
Wash and Shave.
Prior of Monastery at Vienna Too
Old TO Change Living and
VIII Resign.

Vienna, Aug. s.-The Capuchin monks
in Austria have been recalled TO the sim
pier life by a circular issued by the head
Of the order. acting with the approval Of
the Pope.
The frairs are enjoined to return 10 the
strict observance OF the original rules OF
the order. whereby they were forbidden
to wear hats or shoes, the only garments
allowed being a long cowl with rope
around the waist, sandals. and a skull
cap. and an undershirt OF wool in severe
weather They were also forbidden to
wash. battle. shave. or carry money.
The Capuchins are a numerous body in
Austria. and il is In the vaults OF their
monastery in Vienna that the Austrian
emperor and members Of the imperial
family are buried Any visitor to Vienna
will have noted that the friars have
greatly relaxed the original rigcr OF the
rules OF ST. Francis.
They wear hats and shoes, and they
certainly do not refrain from washing
and shaving. SO far from defeating their
lives entirely TO the poor many Of them
are popular as father confeSsors among
the aristocrscy.
What success will meet the attempt to
compel them TO return to the life OF the
middle ages remains 70 be seen. The
prior Of the important Capuohin monas-
terry at PressbuTg has signihed his opin-
ioneby resigning a post. declaring in a
letter TO the Pope that ne is too old TO
change his way OF life. The general feel
ing in the order is that the new regula-
tons should be binding only on the
members who join after the issue OF the
circular.

Paris. Aug 6.-Americans who watch

Day after day they rake in piles Of

II should be stated that croupiers as a

back Of their neckties
Lately a novel trick has been found out

London, Aug. 6.-"After 1900 years OF

The government, says the report may

whites. and becomes imbued with mis-

sions. but also toward the white race and
European dominion"

THERE'S NO RISK.
IfThis Medicine Does Not
Benefit You Pay Nothing

A physician VINO made a speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep-
STA, after years of study perfected the
formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads us to believe them the
greatest remedy known for the relief
of acute indigestion and chronic dyspep-
STA. Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inhames membranes of
the stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their use
with persistency and regularity for a
short time brings about a cessation Of
the pains caused by stomach disorders.
Rexail Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pre-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you to try them at our
risk. If they do not give you entire

money you paid US for them, without
question or formality. They come in
three sizes, price 25c, SOC and 81. Re.
