and effective action, Rexall Or
derlies have become the most
popular Remedy for Constipation.
We are so positive that Rexall
Orderlies will do all that is
claimed for them that we posi-
lively guarantee to hand back
the money you paid US for them
upon your mere request, if you
are not entirely satisfied.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, are very pleasant to the
taste, do not gripe, cause nausea,

experienced when ordinary ca
thartics are used.

tive regulative effect upon the
bowels and tend to. provide per-
manent relief from Constipation

ments. Besides, they help to

similar medicine so good as Rex

dren, aged, or delicate people.
They are prepared in convenient
tablet form in three sizes OF

Fertilizer in the Hill
With Corn.

Last spring one of our Indiana
subscribers assured us that ferti-
izer in the hill with corn pro-
duced a much more vigorous
growth and a larger yield. We
tried this year, on a small scale,
an experiment with fertilizer in
the hill for corn, and found the
fertilizer detrimental rather than
beneficial. We suspect that the
dry weather had a good deal to
do with the result. For the
first month or two after germi-
nation there was very little diff
ference between the corn ferti-
lied in the hill and that infer
tilted. If anything, the ferti-
lized corn had a slight advan-
tage. Then the dry weather
commenced to tell, and for some
reason appeared to strike the
fertilized corn harded than the
other. The explanation, to our
mind, was that the fertilized
corn did not have such a deep
root system. 1t found a large
supply of plant food in the hill
and did not seek further. As a
result, when the dry weather
came the roots were not sufi-
GENTLY developed to properly
withstand it.-Wallace's Farmer.

Driving the Automobile.

1 -
The daily reports of fatal aut :
mobile accidents to people dri,-
ing new cars leads us to drop a
word of caution. In learning to
operate an automobile the far
mer has a great advantage over
the city man, unless the latter
has been accustomed to driving
horses for many years. The
farmer has road knowledge which
can be gained only by long eX-
perience; he knows intu:tively
how and when to turn out, how
to meet and pass teams, about
what clearance he needs, etc. He
is accustomed to handling ma
chinery, and quickly learns the
levers and how to steer. This
aptness is often the cause of SER
ious trouble. He too often as
sumes that learning how to guide
the machine and shift the gears
handily is all there is to running
an automobile, and this over-con-
fidence is very often the cause of
serious and sometimes fatal ac-
cidents. The automobile is more
perfectly under the control Of
the careful driver than a horse,
and because of this the driver
takes chances which he should
not take. Our observation is
that six months to a year of
driving is required to teach the
average driver the need of care
in operating his Car, and very
often he does not learn until lie
meets with an accident, or mar
rowly escapes one. Contrary to
the general belief, the greatest
danger is not in fast driving. If
there is a clear road ahead and
smooth road-bed, a high speed
can be maintained with little
danger. If a tire should blow
out when going at a high rate
of speed, the car is likely to skid
into the ditch and perhaps turn
over; this is the greatest danger
from speeding on a clear road.
The chief danger in country
driving is in connection with
corners and bridges, driving too
fast along a narrow roadway, or
when there are cattle along the
road, and in meeting and pass
ing other cars and teams. The
careful driver will have his car
under perfect control under all
these conditions, and be able to
stop it Immediately in case of
need. He will also take corners
very carefully, giving warning
in case he can not see we'll around |
the corner, and he will be espec-
tally careful when approaching
railroad crossings. Hundreds of !!
people have been unnecessarily |
killed on railroad crossings
through pure carelessness on the
part of the driver of the car.
The Car should always be brought
to a very slow speed when APP
preaching a grade crossing. III
the crossing is a steep one, as
many of them are, one should go
into the intermediate gear and
take the crossing strongly. The
common mistake is to take the
crossing slowly on high gear; a
train is discovered approaching,
and the driver involuntarily
crowds on the gasoline, kills his
engine, and the train catches
him before he can start. If he
had been in intermediate gear,
the engine would not have been
and lives would have
been saved.
Make dead sure always that
the brakes are in perfect condi-
ton, but learn to drive on the
engine and not on the brakes,

Make dead sure always that
the brakes are in perfect condi-
ton, but learn to drive on the
engine and not on the brakes.
The man who rushes along full
tilt, trusting to his skill with the
steering wheel TO take him
through tight places, or JAM
ming on his brakes when he sees
he must stop, is a dangerous
man to ride with, and is very
hard on his car as we'll. The
Skillful driver uses his brakes
very little. He watches the road
closely, anticipates the need of
slowing down, and does it by
shutting off the gasoline and al
lowing the engine to break the
car. Corners and bridges should
always be approached in this
way. Shut off the gasoline in
time so that the car is running
very slowly before it reaches the
corner; then put on the gasoline
again when it is seen that the
way is clear. 1t is easy to pick
up speed again, but sometimes
very hard tostOp quickly enough.

New Advertising Idea.

Charles Dillon, teacher of Industrial
Journalism in the Kansas Agricultural
college, Is trying to get the adverti-
sing habit. He says: Why don't you
advertise, Mr.. Farmer? Get a name
for your farm and then advertise your
farm by that name. Suppose you
choose the name Fairview Then buy
under the name Fairview, sell under
the name of Fairview, have your but
ter marked Fairview, print Fairview
on your berry boxes and have eggs
marked Fairview. and paint Fairview
on your wagon boxes. 1t won't be
long before the name of your farm is
known and the people will be calling
for your products. The town mer-
chant advertises and the farmer can
just as well advertise his butter, eggs
and produce

Ono Way to Advertise.

A man went into the office of the
comptroller of the currency in Wash
ington last week, thoroughly mad. be-
cause he had received in his mail a
perfectly good check to his order,
drawn on real bank, for real money.
He wanted to know II there wasn't
some way to stop this thing"
The officers Of the department told
him there was not; that anybody who
had money in bank had right to
draw checks against it payable to any
body at his pleasure.
The bank on which the check was
drawn was fairly buried under literal
ly bushels of other checks of the same
sort which people brought In to be
cashed. The man who drew the
checks has a considerable account
with the bank, which explains why
the bank officers dissembled their real
feelings.
The checks were for five cents each
and went through the mail to hun
dreds Of Washington people with re-
quest to spend his nickel for car
fare" and visit the giver's place of

Object Lesson in Advertising.

Those who believe that women
don't read the advertisements in the
newspapers might have had con-
vincing object lesson of the fallacy of
their views a few days ago. The pro-
prietor of chain Of New York gro
cery stores determined to test the
matter by inserting in all the leading
papers coupon which, presented in
person, would entitle the holder to
one dozen eggs for ten cents. The ad-
vertisements appeared in the evening
papers, and on the following morning
the streets in the neighborhood Of all
the stores were almost blocked with
women. Special police had to be as
signed to keep the anxious bargain
seekers from fighting each other in
their anxiety to take advantage OF the
great offer. Although the grocer lost
money on the egg deal, he has gained
hundreds of new customers and his
business for the week following egg
day" has been the biggest he has ever
had by thousands of dollars.

Every nail-keg in the store had its
occupant, the checker-board was work

their owners drew closer round the
big. rusty stove.
The door opened noisily. letting in a
blast Of the storm raging outside, and
in it's wake followed Rufe Blevins. a
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a vel
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on a
soap-box. but he marched past the
friendly circle. pumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter.
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket. which he held out to the pro-
prietor Of the store.
An expectant grin went round the
circle. for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation Of never wronging himself
by overweighing or undercharging.
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked expectantly from the bill
to the wood-chopper.
