Fight on Sending Bill
to Conference Expected

Washington, June 6. - All signs
point to one of the liyeliest fights Of
the session in the house on Tuesday
when a motion viii be made to send
the administration railroad bill to con-
ference. The house and senate leaders
have determined that the bill passed
by the latter body must be robbed OF
some Of It's insurgent-democratic
amendments before it is sent to the
president for approval. Accordingly
the word has been passed for all re-
gnIars to stand By on Tuesday and
vote to send the bill TO conference.
The plan to refer the bin to confer
ence cannot be carried out without tie
assistance Of the democrats. II the
minority joins with the insurgents in

cepted. Representative Champ Clark,
the minority leader. said last night

other provision regarded by the SEN
ate regulars as Objectionable is that
prohibiting the issuance Of an inter
locutory injunction In the matter of
state railroad enactments by less than
three federal judges instead of by one
as at present.
Still another senate amendment that
it was hoped would be lost in confer

as to the reasonableness of rates on
the railroads instead of upon the ship

another feature that was marked for
slaughter In conference.

Washington, June s. = One Of the
questions which has been forced into
prominence during this congress is
the parcels post. There seems to be
a great diversity Of opinion on this
question, and many persons who dis.
cuss it evidently have but an imper-
feet knowledge OF the principles un-
derlying it. Not to discuss these here,
there has been presented to congress
recently a summary OF the replies
made to queries by the hardware sales
men. These replies were sent to $. r.
Miles, at Mason City. Ia, and il ap-
pears from them that the S49 carriers
heard from carried S37 parcels on
their rural routes in one month. The
total weight Of these packages amount
ed to 1850 pounds. It seems that
most of the carriers do not make any
charge for carrying parcels, not con-
sidering the business worth cultivat-
ing, and the fact that they do not
charge a fee doubtless contributes to
the general disinclination to ask them
to perform such a service. The an
swers to various questions put are
as follows:

carrier handle so to 500 pounds Of

They Injure
Children
Ordinary Cathartics and
Pills and Harsh Physic
Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You canont be over-careful in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. ONLY
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given, except in emergency
cases. Ordinary pills. cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping, nau-
sea and other distressing after-effects
that are frequently health destroying
and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and gaur-
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stipation and associate bowel disorders.
We have such absolute faith in the
virtues Of this remedy that we sell IL
on guarantee Of money back in
every instance where it falls to live en-
| tire satisfaction, and we urge all in
need Of such medicine to try 1t at our
risk.
| Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless. taste
less and colorless. AS an active agent
1t embraces the valuable qualities CT
the best-known intestinal regulator
tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can
dy. They are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time. day or night do not cause
lolarrnoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
,looseness or other undesirable effects
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act a positive and

cular coat of the bowel and It's dry

come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore
} the bowels and associate organs to
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of a surgical
} character. They also tend to overcome
J the necessity Of constantly taking lax
atives to keep the bowels in normal
; condition.
There is really no medicine for thi.
purpose so good as Rexall Oredrlies
