The farmer must not think that the

Soils For Various Fruits

In selecting a site for the orchard it
is perhaps natural to make the mis-
take of choosing a soil which is in
reality too rich and fat for the best
production of apples. On such soil
conditions seem to exist which tend to
a production of wood rather than fruit
growth. thus defeating the object one
has in view. Pears will produce fruit
on rich. moist soils, while peach trees
should be set on the thinnest soil on
the place.

They INJUFE CHILDREN
Cathartics and Pills and Harsh
Physics May Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in tho
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi
cine should ever be given. Ordinary
pills, cathartics, and purgatives are too
apt to do more harm than good. They
sometimes cause gripping, nausea, and
distressing after-effects, and may ac-
tually iniurp the health. thus estah-
fishing a l'e-lasting annoyance,
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as a safe
and dependable remedy for constipa-
ton and associate bowel disorders We
have such faith in the virtues OF this
remedy that we sell it on our guar
antee of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfac-
ton. 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 ut
any time, day or night; do not cause
liarrhoea. nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable eff
fects. They have a very mild but pos
tive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, apparent
ly acting as a regulative tonic upon
the relaxed muscular coat of the bow
ell. thus overcoming weakness, anf
aiding to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only reliev'
constipation, but help to remove tn
cause of this ailment They also fire
, quently overcome the necessity o
constantly taking laxatives 10 kee
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really, in our opinion, n
