Because of its extremely gentle
and effective action, Rexall Order
lies 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 positively guar
antee to hand back the money YOU
paid US for them upon your mere
request, if you are not entirely sat-
isfied.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, are very pleasant to the
taste, do not grippe, cause nausea, or
any other annoyance usually ex-
perienced when ordinary cathartics
are used.
ReXall Orderlies have a positive
regulative effect upon the bowels
and tend to provide permanent re-
lief from Constipation and the myr-
lad of associate ailments. Besides,
they help to overcome the necessi-
ty of the constant use of laxatives
to keep the bowels in normal con-
dition.
We honestly believe there is no
similar medicine so good as Rexall

For many years the United States
has been affording sufficient protec-

country to enable it to build up the
dirtiest and most shameless of all

probation of needless protection by
becoming an importer and bribing

A Russian Fable.

A peasant it is said, was once
on his way to town with a fine
flock of geese he had been fatten-
ing for the market.
AS he plodded slowing along
prodding now one, now another,
with his long rod to keep them in
the road, he was busily engaged
with pleasant anticipations; his
flock was sure to fetch a good price.
There is not likely to be many
as good" he said to himself. Il am
sure to do well, but l will hurry
along to be sure to get there in good
season"
And, so saying, he fiourished his
rod vigorously amongst the re-
fractOry geese to quicken their
steps. But the geese resented his
treatment of them bitterly, and
stopped every one they met to COM
plain of him.
We are the most unfortunate,
ill-treated geese in the world" they
said. Cannot you see how this mujik
is chasing and prodding us without
the least regard for our feelings? If
he were not so ignorant, he would
know that he ought to pay US rev.
erence; for are we not the noble
descendants of those geese who
saved Rome long ago? Special
feast days are even yet appointed
in their honor.
But what has that to do with
you? You do not expect feast days
appointed in your honor, do you?
