AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many CathartiCs Tend to Cause In
Jury to the Bowels.

1T you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temper
airy relief and their reaction is harm
ful and sometimes more annoying
than constipation. They in no way
effect cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in contact.
We honestly belief that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user
cent it ii does not give entire salts
faction and completely remedy con-
stlpation. This preparation is called
ReXall Orderlies. These are prompt,
soothing and most effective in action.
Ihey are made from a recent chem
zeal discovery. Their principal in
gredient is odorless, tasteless and
colorless. Combined with other we'll
known ingredients, long established
for their usefulness in the treatment
OF constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy. They
may be taken at any time, either day
or night, without fear of their caus-
ing any Inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe, purge nor cause
nausea. They act without causing
any pain or excessive looseness of
the bowels. They are ideal for chill
dren, weak, delicate persons and
aged people as we'll as for the most
hearty person.
They come in two size packages,
II tablets 10 cents, SO tablets 25
cents. Remember you can obtain
them only at our store,-The Rexall
Store. Bell & Robinson.

Keep alert. Mental ruts make more

Keep physically active. The inert
girl who hates to ove is usually the
greatest GROWER about her health.
Keep clean. The close connection
between the pores of the skin and good
health is not generally considered care
fully enough.
Keep interested. There is nothing
like a fad or an object in life to put
aches n pains into the background.
Keep busy. The satanic mischief
provided for idle hands Is better known
than the physical mischief that hounds
the woman with time to think about
her health.
Keep away from drugs. Most wo-
men deserve all the siandering they get
for the dosing habit. Walk more and
take less medicine.
Keep a curb on your appetite. Over
eating is the menace OF the age. The
girl who stuffs between meals pays for
