Mr.. S. Goodman, whose home.

Saturday morning on his way

New York Medical Authorities
Claim Dyspepsia to be a Pre-
Disposing Cause of Consump-
ton.

The post norton statistics Of
the big New York hospitals show
that some cases of consumption
are due, at least indirectly, to
unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predispOsed
to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body
and brain. The weakened. irri-
table stomach being unable to
digest food, the BODY does not re-
eeive the required nOurishment,
and the victim becomes thin, and
weak and haggard. As a result,
the body becomes a fertile field
in which the germs of disease may
ledge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who per-
mitS dyspepsia to progress unhin-
dered is guilty of contributing
toward the development of one
OF the most insidious and fatal
diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely
eradicated if rightly treated. We
sell remedy that we positively
guarantee will completely relieve
Indigestion or dyspepsia, or the
medicine used during the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certain
ly no offer could be fairer and
our offer should be proof positive
that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are a dependable remedy.
lnasmuch as the medicine will
cost you nothing if it does not
benefit you, we urge you who are
suffering with indigestion or dys-
pepsia to try Rexall's Dyspepsia
Tablets. A % cent box contains
enough medicine for fifteen days
treatment. For chronic cases we
have two larger sizes, SOC and
$l.OO. Remember you can obtain
Rexal Remedies in Great Bend
only at our store-The Rexall
Store. The Hooper Drug Co.

the novel sights that will be seer
In the parade to be given In
Great Bend on Thursday, Septem
Der 8, by Ringing Bros. Worlds
Greatest Shows. A team of 20
camelS hitched to a great Egyp-
tan chariot, also teams of ele-
plants, llamas, and deer and 9TH
er remarkable features.
For many years Ringing Bros.
have mad the reputation of pre-
Sentlng a circus parade far more
attractive, longer and cOstlier
than those given by other shows.
This seasons street display more
than ever reflects the genius and
skill Of the five ShOwmen. Its
hundreds of floats, chariOtS, war
carriages, hOwdahs, tableaux, cars
throne wagons rickshaws, dens,
and fairy art vans are hand cary
ed and FURNISHED with pure gold.
The $50 horses wear silver-mOunt-
ed harness. The best of import
ed silks and brOadcloths were
used In making the costumes. The
countless flags and banners are
expensive works Of japanese art.
The great herds of elephants and
camelS are draped with Persian
blankets. The thrones are dec
GRATED with the finest Oriental
rugs and tapestry.
A large menagerie is shown in
open dens and lairs. There are
90 bOdiesOf musicians. They ride
In great band chariOtS, on horses,
and In floating paviliOns. There
are fine military bands, quaint
plpers, grand opera ballets, tom
tom players, drum and bugle corp
pipe organs, chanters, reed and

lopeS. There are people from a
hundred nations and tribes. All
phases is shown of human exis-
tence. The parade is an endless
panorama Of the sights of tie
worlds kingdoms and of savage
lands.
A portion of the parade is de-
voted to the children. 1t tells in
a long chain of tableaux all the
stories Of the Arabian Nights in
their proper sequence. The var
lOus fairy floats, pumpkin char
lots, floating gardens, palaces, car
rlageS Of state and naval displays
are OF the most gorgeous mater
lals. They are designed by the
best artists Of Italy and France.
Nearly 1900 people, $50 horses,
nearly all of the elephants IN
America and drOmedarieS are to
be seen. A camp in the Sahara
Is one of the subjects of the tab
leaux groups. Another section
tells the story Of the journey of
the Queen Of Sheba to the palace
Of King Solomon. A replica of
the iron horse used as a ruse to
enter the gates of Troy is anOth-
er spectacular display. Exact and
full size models of Columbus 3
boats are shown, and there are
models of our modern men-of-war
to compare them with.
Two performances will be Civ

circus entertainments. New York
City declares this show to have
been the best ever seen there.
Th Madison Square Garden was
not large enough to hold the vast
crowds that sought admission to
