Do not keep the albaster beXt S of your love and tenderns s}se ealed up until your friends are d ad. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their hearts can be thrilled and be made happier by them. 1 The kind you mean to nd for their collins send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. IL my friends have albaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and of affection which they iE- tend to break over my dead body, l would rather they would bring out in my weary and troubled hours and open them that may be refreshed and cheered by them while 1 need them. l would rather have a plain coffin without flower. a funeral with out an eulogy, than a life with out the sweetness of love and sympathy.

 Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way. The faults of our brothers we will write upon the sand; their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory Anonymous.

 The Bedouins, the dispach adds, now hold the fortress in the vicinity of which there has been desultory fighting between the tribesman and the government troops for the past year and a half.
 Kerak, formerly the capital of Moab, has population of 5000, of which 6,0O0 are Meslems. The town is the last on the road from Damascus to Mecca, where Christians may reside. It stands on the mountain of Moab and may be seen from Jerusalem, 50 miles awag.

For Constipation
A Medicine That Does Not Cost
Anything Unless It Gives
Satisfactory Relief.

If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever, acute or chronic,
we will guarantee to supply you
medicine that we honestly believe
will effect permanent relief if taken
with regularity and according to di-
rections for a reasonable length Of
time. Should the medicine fail to
benefit you to your entire satisfaction
we promise that it shall cost you
nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredients of this remedy, which is
odo: less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other valuable ingredients, it
forms a preparation which is incom-
parable as a perfect bowel regulator,
intestinal invigorator and strength
ener. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, and are notable for their gen
tie and agreeable action. They dc
not cause gripping or any disagreed
BILE effect or inconvenience, and may
be taken at any time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rex
all Orderlies for children and for
delicate or aged persons, because
they do not contain anything injuri
Gus. Unlike other preparations, the.
do not create a habit, but instead
they overcome the habits acquired
through the use of ordinary laxa-
tives, cathartics and harsh physic
and remove the causes of conStipa-
ton or irregular bowel action that
are not of surgical variety
We want you to try Rexan Order
lies at our risk We know of moth
ing that will do you so much good.
They are prepared in tablet form in
two sizes: SO tablets 25 cents. and
IL tablets 10 cents. Remember in
Rock Island only at our store-The
