FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine That Does Not
Cost Anything Unless 1t
Cures

The active medicinal in
gradients of Rexall Orderlies,
which are odorless, tasteless
and colorless, is an entirely
new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable
ingredients, it forms a perfect
bowel regulator, intestinal in
vigorator and strengthen.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy and are notable for their
agreeableness to the palate and
gentleness Of action. They do
not cause gripping or any dis
agreeable effect or inconven-
fence.
Unlike other preparations
for a like purpose, they do not
create a habit, but instead they
overcome the cause of habit ac-
quired through the use of or
binary laxatives, cathartics and
harsh physic. and permanently
remove the cause of constipa-
ton or irregular bowel action.
We will refund your money
without argument if they do
not do as we say they will.
Two sizes, Csc and 10c. Sold

Store.

glass, Surprising that when YOU look

TnfSe colored gentlemen &sfs
very much surprised and
shaken up Saturday evening
last when the Minneapolis
Limited ran into the rear end
of the Aberdeen train both
headed for Sioux City. The
lights had been taken from the
rear of the train preparatory to
having the diner taken off at
this city. Owing to the bad
blizzard of Saturday night the
engineer on the Minneapolis
train did not see the other un-
til too late to avoid the acct
dent. The dining car was COM
pletely wrecked. The three
men were taken to the hospi-
tai in this city where medical
attention was given them and
nothing more than a few
bruises will mar their dignity.

The Royal Oak.

The actual tree into which Charles
vanished was hacked to pieces within
. few years by relic hunters, and the
present royal oak at Boscobe Is mere
" a descendant. A salver made from
the original royal oak IL still poa
sessed by Oxford university, and count
less chairs, tables, affairs, picture
frames and snuff boxes claim to be
made out of the same sacred material

his escape at Boscobel by establishing
q new order Of knights Of the Royal
Oak" but thought best mot to keep
awake animosities." Tho name Of the
"Royal Oak has been preserved IL
the navy since 1864. The first SHY
to bear this historic name met with
an ignominious fate, being burned BY
the Dutch when they came up the Med
way in 1867. Oak Apple day, now lit

The Child Snob.

There is natural, simple and rather
high-minded etiquette among children;
also is there an unlovely and artificial
etiquette among children who have
heard and seen too 1ss;ch Of an unlove'
ly world; for children can be the worst
of snobs. Some little girls, ten or
twelve years old, daughters Of rich
neighborhood, were found to be exam.

who ventured in their neighborhood to

handmade, they were not voted good
enough to play in the established set!

for some difference, some lack of cloth
ing or appearance. Do you remember
the story of the poor little girl who
used to bring blocks tied up in nap
kin to school to look as though she had
lunch like the other children? But
among unspoiled and natural children
the child who is different need not
suffer for any length of time. A strong
character and a sweet temperament
will win through any artificial bar
rier of circumstances.-The Designer:

OLD CUSTOM BRINGS TROUBLE
Young Men Try to Force Entrance to

to The house and when they tried to

down his gun and fired. Two OF them
were slightly wounded and the other
two seriously. The father was ar

GOOD REMEDY FOR HlCC0UGH
spasmodic Contractions Of Diaphragm
Stopped Instantly by Small Guam
tity Of Powdered Sugar.

Hiccough is a sudden and spasmodis
contraction of the diaphragm, deter
mining a brusque shock to the walls
OF the abdominal and thoracic cavity
and is accompanied by rough and
inarticulate sound caused by the sud
den closure and sonorous vibration Of
the vocal cords.
Among the numerous remedies en-
ployed against the disagreeable symp
toms there is one recommended BY
DR.. Petit of Beaumont, France, which,
although not really new, is but little
known. It has the merit Of being e1
tremely simple and is said to be re-
markedly efficacious.
i It consists simply in swallowing al
quickly as possible tablespoonful Of
powdered sugar without any admixture
with water. The hiccough will be i'm.
mediately stopped. If 1t comes on
again. tho same remedy again will b
FOUND successful.
What ID tho action Of the powdered
sugar. Probably 1t sets up q kind Of
reflex action. The sugar certainly
plays no specific role in this case. and
It ID probable that any inert powder
would have tho same effect.
Dr.. Petit has made use Of this rom
edy for some years, and it has rarely
failed. Accordingly he recommends
recourse to it even when the case Of
hiocoughs may have resisted all the
Rtandard remedies.

NOVELTY IN LETTER WRITING
How the Ignorant Factory Girl Man.
aged to Accept an Offer
Of Marriage.

One Englishwoman relates rather q
pretty story about factory girls
way of answering marriage proposal
made to her. OF course 1t happened
long, long ago.
The young woman could not write
or read writing, and one day, says
the lady, she brought letter to me to
read it to her. It contained an offer
in marriage.
I happened to know that the writer
was a deserving young artisan, so !
said to her, Nov, you must consider
this matter very seriously. and If you
like to come to me when you have
made up your mind, will write re-
ply for you"
A day or two afterward I met the
girl again, and asked her If she want
ed me to answer the letter for her
20, that is all right" said the girl
looking radiant and pleased. 1--WE
settled it; l answered 1t myself"
why, how did you do it," ]
asked.
And then she told me that she
could make capital IT," and that she
stuck on the paper piece Of wool
after It for "wull"-"I WOOL"
Surely one Of the quatntest &C
iceptances Of an offer In marriage ever
penned.

THESE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS
When Ono Considers Their Vast Num-
Der Pride Of Descent Seems Very
Foolish.

Are you proud o. your ancestors?
OF how many of them?
Since the beginning of the Chris
tian era-a mere 1911 years-you have
had 139,235,O17. 4S9, 534,976 ancestors.
Imagine, If you can, how many per-
sons were needed since the beginning
of the world to bring you forth-you,
who are reading this now. 1t works
the other way, too. If single cou-
ole had started 5000 years ago to pop
ulate the world and everybody had
grown to maturity and married at the
age of p, the earth's population would
be 2,199,915, followed by IA ciphers.
However, this world would not hold
them all; it would not be large enough
To give all these people breathing
srace the size of the world would
have to be multiplied by 3,166,526, fol-
lowed by 1875 ciphers. That Is the
only way in which these enormous
numbers can be expressed.
How futile, then. is ancestor wor-
slip! Every one of us, high or low,
has had in his ancestry kings and
reasants criminals and saints; 1t Is
almost impossible to name any one
Of ones own race to whom one can
not prove'i il some way remote rela'
t'clshir.

Rank Materialists.

II their outlook on life most Chi.
nese are rank materialists, says a
writer in the Century. They ply the
stranger with questions as to his in
ccmc, his means. the cost Of his be-
.c.s;nSs. They cannily offer paper
r,orey instead of real money at the
raves of their dead, and sacrifice pa
yer images of the valuables that once
were burned in the funeral pyre.
Yet no one who comes into close
touch with the Chinese deems this
rtilitari- :nism a race trait. They are
in fact, capable of the highest ideal
ism. Among the few Who have come
lear to the thought of Buddha OF
Jesus one finds faces saintlike In their
depth Of spirituality. The material
SIN is imposed by hard economic
conditions. 1t is the product OF an
Hge long anxiety about tomorrow's
rice and is not to be counteracted
by the influence Of the petty
lit them above sordid anXieties.

Small Republics.

Nein-Alp is a diminutive republic
tucked away between Switzerland and
France. Only in summer il tho re-
public inhabited, and then by miners
and cowgirls. There is one hotel,
closed during the winter. Another lit
tie republic is in Tyrol, between Aus
tria and Italy, and in long gone years
was under the jurisdiction Of first a
king and then an emperor. But in the
adjustment of frontier lines the state
OF Val di Ventino was In some way
overlooked. and 1t promptly organized
itself into a Lililputian republic. II
has now about 1000 Inhabitants, liv.
ing in six villages. Neither Val d
Ventino or Klein.Alp have any taxes.
There are no officials or compulsory
military service. The only industry
Of Val di Ventino. aside from the
farming Of small fields, is charcoal
burning.
