TWO MEN.

Bill Brown is dead UPSTAIRS In grie:
His widow weeps, while down below
The neighbnrs now in charge OF things
Are softly moving to and fro
And now and then sOme men 10 speak
Their word Of sympathy and cheer,
To sound the praises of poor Brown
And place their roses on his bier
Across the street Tom Green plods on,
Alone, unaided in his fight
To keep his wife and children clothed
He has to hustle day and night,
A word of praise would do him good.
He's hungry for a bit of cheer.
But all his neighbors take their flowers
To decorate a dead mans bier.
Brown doesn't know what's going on.
But poor Tom Green across the way
Turns to his wife and sadly says
"I'll have a lot of friends some day.
Some day youll hear my praises sung
And men will bring me roses red.
They'll all rush up to boost poor me
The minute that they hear I'm dead"

Do not make this laughable expert
ment in gravity on a stone floor, but

sweeping twenty minutes they hadn't
got over three feathers out into the
street.
Some fellow suggested sprinkling, so
they did, but most of them were in

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartios Tend to Cause Injury

Many Cathartos Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels.
If you are subject TO constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and ca
thartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency 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 ii on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user a
cent if it does not give entire satisfac-
ton and completely remedy constipa-
ton. This preparation is called Rexall
Orderlies. These are prompt, soothing
and most effective in action. They are
made of a recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. Combined with
other well known ingredients, long es-
tablished 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, without fear of their
causing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe, purge nor cause
nausea. They act without causing any
pain or excessive looseness of the bow
els. They are. ideal for children, weak,
delicate persons and aged people as
well as for the most hearty person.
They come in two size packages, ~
tablets 10 cents. SO tablets 25 cents.
Remember you can obtain them
only at our store--The Rexall Store.
