AVOID HARSH DRUGS R. L. BELL y yss,Gsry
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause In
jury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tempo
rary relief and their reaction is
harmful and sometimes more an
noying than constipation. They in
no way effect a cure and their ten
dency is to weaken the already
weak organs with which they come
in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user
a cent if it does not give entire sat-
isfaction and completely remedy
constipation. This preparation is
called Rexall Orderlies. These are
prompt, soothing, and most effective
in action. They are made of re-
cent chemical discovery. Their
principal ingredient is Odorless,
tasteless, and cOlorleSs. Combined
with other well-known ingredients,
long established for their usefulness
in the treatment of constipation, it
forms a tablet which is eaten just
like candy. They may be taken at
any time, either day or night, with
out fear of their causing any incon-
venience whatever. They do not
grippe, purge, nor cause nausea. They
act without causing any pain or ex-
cessive looseness of the bowels.
They are ideal for children, weak,
delicate persons, and aged people,
as well as for the most hearty per
son.
They come in three size packages
IL tablets, 10 cents; SO tablets, Is
cents; so tablets, SO cents. Remem-
Der, you can obtain them only at
our store-The Rexall Store. L. M.

High Food Value of Honey.

A single pound of well-ripened
honey contains more nutriment
than two pounds of pork, and more
medicine than any druggist would
put up for fifty cents. says the Bee
Journal. Honey is one of the choic-
est foods for man, and not the least
valuable, as it is the only food that,
having undergone chemical change
in the body of the bee, can be TAX
en- directly into the system and
used as a force producer without
having to pass through the ordinary
digestive process.
The apiary is fast being recogniz-
ed as one of the sources of profit
on the farm, especially with the
farmer who desires to carry on a
system of diversified farming. The
farmer, of all people, is perhaps the
least dependent upon his fellowmen.
and on every fair sized farm there
annually goes to waste several hum
bred pounds Of nectar. unless he
has the means Of gathering and
storing for the use Of himself and
family. 1t is not necessary that the
farmer beekeeper become a com
petitor in the market with the ex-
pert bee keeper, and in most IN
stances this would not be desirable
or profitable, but the farmer should
produce at least enough to supply
his own table, if not more. Kinks
vile Journal.

Any article on the disagreeable
task of saving money must have a
bitter taste. 1t must present some
poignant, wholesome truths. One
of these is: We are imbued with
the idea people like US for what we
can spend upon Thorn. This is a
big mistake. They may seek us as
they seek the passing ray of sun
light over a fiOwer-bed. When they
need friends who really count for
shelter and help, they perfer the

one worShips the golden calf. PEG.

tain admirable, stable qualities
which we would all like to have =

self-denial, being true to ones self
1t does take strength and Self-denial
to be true to ones self. By the last
mean to live as one can afford to
live on ones income. Most of u:
try to make our few dollars stretch
over the same ground occupied by
persons with incomes twice as large
as we possess.I 1--WE spend our al
in making a good showing" This
is laudable from the viewpoint o
progression, but one should use he
wits and do this and save a little a

Value Of a Grange.

A subordinate Grange is the most
practical and the most natural
means of promoting all the inter-
ests of a rural community ever re
ceived in the history of the world,
for the following reasons:
1. 1t contributes to the social
life by frequent regular meetings in
which the art of sociability is so
agreeably and informally taught as
to fascinate rather than repel those
participating in the exercises.
2. 1t contributes to the high
moral standard by affording con-
venient and agreeable society for
old and young in which the highest
standard of morality is maintained.
thereby preventing association of its
members in society of the opposite
nature.
3. 1t contributes to the happi-
ness of home by the mental recre-
alton afforded all members of the
family in the various Grange gath
erings attended, thereby broadening
their mental vision and increasing
their happiness, which is sure to be
reflected in their home life.
q. 1t contributes to the material
prosperity by its discussion of all
matters of Importance tending to
local development, and often is in
strumental in securing the eStab-
lishment of industries that give add
ed population as well as taxable
property, thereby indirectly aiding
every taxpayer in town.
5. 1t contributes to the general
intelligence of the inhabitants by
its frequent discussion of questions
of public nature and by the edu-
eating influence of other exercises,
resulting in mental development
and a more intelligent citizenship,
which is an uplifting force in any
community.
6. 1t contributes to the general
welfare by dissipating neighborhood
quarrels, by breaking up long-stand-
ing feuds caused by church, school
or society troubles. by promoting
better roads, better schools, and
better farming, by stimulating more
interest in public affairs, resulting
/ in the election of better men to
Office and better enforcement of
law as well as the better transaC-
ton of the public business of towns,
counties and states.
7. A subordinate Grange con-
tributes in these ways to the up
building of a rural community by
making it a more desirable place in
which to live and making its citi,
zens more intelligent, more pros
porous, and more happy Oliver

The Basis of Prosperity.

Hoard's Dairyman, in a recent is
sue, says:
"Wallaces' Farmer in a recent is
sue maintains that the basis of
prosperity in our country is the
farm, which we believe, but that
does not state the whole question
What is the basis of prosperity of
the farm? There we come to the
real question as it effects the farm
er. So far as we have observed
and studied, the true basis of the
farm lies CD in having the right
kind of a farmer, a man who knows
what his soil needs and supplies it;
(2) in the nearby development of
other industries, so that the farm
product may be saved expensive
transportation to its best markets;
| (3) the general prosperity of the
consumer, so he may freely buy
what the farmer has to sell. In
this view we see that the farmer
does not live to himself alone, that
he is very dependent fo1 his pros
perity on the prosperity of the coun-
try at large"
With all this we most heartily
agree. The farmer does not live
to himself alone" He must have
consumers of his product; the con.
sumner must have the wherewithal
to pay for them; and if the consum,
er and the farmer are to prosper, he
must get these products to the con-
sumner at the minimum of expense
The middleman cannot be cut out
altogether. He has his place in the
general system.
The problem in the next ten years
will be: How can the farmer pro
duce food at price that the public
can afford to pay? This involves
growing more bushels of grain PEI
acre, and more pounds of beef, porl
and butter per quarter section, al
well as getting them to the consum
er at the minimum cost of trans
portation.
