AT his home four miles northwest of
Stonington,. Sunday, Aug. IA, 1910, of
complication of diseases, Daniel Wooley,
aged n years, II months and Is days.
Funeral services were held at the resi-
dence Tuesday. Aug. 16. at 10 a. M,
interment in Stonington cemetery. The
services we're conducted by Rev Orman
c. King.
Daniel Wooley was born in Athens,
Ohio, Aug. 81. 1882, died Aug. IA, 1910.
He was married Nov. 16. 1854, to
Mariah Cain in Athens, Ohio. who died
Aug. IL, 1859. Two children survive
them, Lois Matilda Spruill of Arkansas
City, Kansas, and Sarah Elizabeth Neu-
bauer of Pueblo. One child, William,
died in infancy.
He was married again Oct. 3. 1861, to
Susan Craig in Montgomery county, III. j,
who survives him with the following
children: Clement Ellsworth, Edward
B., Charles M, Robert Calvin, Fred
and Frank, all of whom reside near
Stonington: except Edward B., who
lives at Cripple Greek. One son, Theo-
dore, died at the age of 2 years After
the death of his first wife he moved to
Montgomery county, ILL.,, where he re-
resided till Sept, 1873, moving then to
Anderson county, Kansas, later to Pratt

he came to Baca county and filed on the
homestead where he died. With the
exception of year and half spent in
Manzanola he has lived continually in
Baca county since; Is grand children
and 10 great grand children survive.
He was kind father, loving husband
and good neighbor. He leaves many
friends who grieve that one so well
liked, one who was always ready with
kind word Or deed, has been called
from among us: He was member of
the Methodist Episcopal church of Ston-
ington and was one OF. the oldest resi-
dents Of The county and prnbably no
man was better known or liked than he.
The evening of his life has been
frightened by the unfailing love and
devotion of his children. Their tender
est love:and care was for their aged
father. May they all meet in the great
reunion in that bright home above where
sad farewells are never spoken.

THE DOCTORS QUESTION
Some Advice Against the Use Of
Harsh Purgatives and Physics

-SA ~ 6"VA'NS 0AA ~ 1AO1
A doctors first question when
consulted by a patient is, care
your bowels regular?" He know.
thtat SO per cent of illness is at
tended with inactive bowels and
torpid liver. This condition poi
sons the system with waste mat
ter and causes accumulation of
gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health
can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cath
articS may be truly likened to
dynamite. Through their harsh,
irritating action they force a pas
sage through the bowels, causing
pain and damage to the delicate
intestinal structure which weaken
the whole system, and at best Onl,
produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic irritation of the
stomach and bowels, dries and
hardenS their tissues, deadens theil
nerves, stiffenS their muscles and
generally brings about an injur-
iCuS habit which sometimes has al
most, if not fatal results.
We have a pleasant and safe
remedy for constipation and bow
ell disorders in general. We are
S certain of its great curative
value that we promise to return
the purchasers money in every
use where it fails to produce en-
tire satisfaction. This remedy is
called Rexal OrderlieS. We urge
you to try them at our entire risk
Rexall OrderlieS are eaten like
candy, they act quietly, and have
a soothing, strengthening, healing
regulative influence on the entire
Intestinal tract. They do not
purge, grippe, cause nausea, flatu-
lence, excessive lOoSeness, diar-
rhOea or other annoying effects,
and they may be taken at any
time without inconvenience.
Rexall Orderlies overcome the
dragging habit and safely remedy
constipation and associate all
mentS, whether acute or chronic,
except in surgical cases. They
are especially good for children,
weak persons or old folks. Price
