THE BEST SCHOOL.

The best school for your boy
is one where he will hear less
about making success by this
or that manner of making a liv-
ing than he will hear about the
making Of his living Of the hui
man life grand thing. If you
want your boy to be great
this or that-engineer, physician
or even minister-whatever it Is
send him where he first will
be made manly. scholarly and
heroic. The finest trained abil-
ity toward something in partic-
ular ts obtained by training a
mans ability toward this one
general thing-his being a good
and forceful man. The vice
hiding within the present cry for
immediate assets in education
will be seen all too soon In the
fact that we viii have on our
hands lot of human tools only.
There will be nobody who has
symmetry Of character and
strength Of personality to han
die these tools. Do you seek an
opening for your son? Here will
be one. Give your boy a chance
to be man first, The rest will
follow.-Frapk ", Gunsaulus.

Professor Warns Farmers
To Care For Seed Corn.

Since this has been an unusually bad
season for seed corn in Wisconsin, Prof.
n. A. Moore of the agronomy depart
ment Of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin is warning
all corn growers to look after their seed
corn carefully. 1t is still time to save
the seed if it is put into dry place and
kept there until testing time in the
spring. Any corn that may have been
exposed where the damp weather has
had chance to affect it has no doubt
been damaged some. If it is not put in
suitable place it will probably have
its vaule almost entirely destroyed
before many weeks. All seed corn
should be ear tested sometime in
February or March.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
COMPLAINTS.


You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, expect in
emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to do
more harm than good They may cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy, which we
know, for constipation and associate
bowel disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy that
we sell it on our guarantee of money
back in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction, and we urge all
in need of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects
They have "a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as
a regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly complete
ly relieve constipation, except of course
when of surgical character They
also tend to overcome the necessity of
constantly taking laxatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition. Three
sizes of packages, 10 cents, % cents, and
so cents. Remember, you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in Mineral Point only
at our store,-The Rexall Store. Ivey's
