Every foreign office Of Europe acts
on the theory that an army Of spies Is
constantly on the alert to steal Its
secrets, and infinite precautions are
taken to battle their efforts. Very
shortly after the first use Of blotting
paper 1t was discovered that 1t was
quite possible to cause blotting pad
to give up jealousy guarded secrets
by simply holding 1t in front Of mir
ror. Long after all the commercial
world had forgotten the existence OF
such q thing the British foreign office
used a sand shaker to dry Its impor-
tant written documents. Then spe-
cially manufactured black blotting pa
per was used, but this was not found
to be absolutely spy proof, and re-
turn to the sand shaker was contem-
plated when some one suggested the
simple expedient Of small absorbent
roller. These rollers have since been
used for drying diplomatic documents.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
MANY CATHARTIcs TEND TO CAUSE IN
JURY To THE BOWELS.

If you are subject to constipation, you
should avoid strong drugs and cathar-
tics. They only give temporary relief
and their reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than constipation.
They in no way effect 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 1t
on the positive guarantee that II shall
not cost the user cent il it does not
give entire satisfaction and completely
remedy constipation. This preparation
is called Rexall 0rderlies. These are
prompt, soothing and most effective IN
action. They are made OF recent
chemical discovery. Their principal in
gredient is odorless, tasteless and color
less. Combined with other weil-known
ingredients, long established for their
usefulness in the treatment of constipa-
ton, it forms 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 what
ever. They do not grippe, purge, nor
cause nausea. They act without causing
any pain or excessive looseness of the
bowels. They are ideal for children,
weak, delicate persons, and aged people,
as well as for the most hearty person.
They come in three size packages, II
tablets, 10 cents; SO tablets, % cents;
so tablets, so cents. Remember, you can
obtain them only at our store-The

Fertilizer was applied, 100 lbs. broad

was of the Northern Flint variety was

THE MAGIC
TAL|SMAN.

Many years have come and gone
since Prince Carus was walking IN the
forest and met with this adventure.
ue was alone long distance from his
castle when he beheld a door sud-
denly open in the trunk Of a mighty
oak. While he stood lost in wonder
ut such an occurrence a raven darted
out, closely followed by another. A
mighty battle ensued just above the
princes head. The prince was about
to draw his sword and put an end to
the combat when feather futtered
through the air to his feet. AT the
same moment the two birds few rapid
ly away. Noticing that the feather
glittered strangely, he picked 1t up
and perceived that, while 1t was black
as If dropped from ravens wing, 1t
was marked with curious devices IN
gold. More remarkable still, the quill
was of solid gold. curiously carved.
Quite convinced that the ravens were
more than they seemed to be he deter
mined to find out what lay on the
other side OF the door. Holding the
talisman-for lie was convinced 1t was
that-carefully In his hand he entered.
The door closed behind him softly.
Before him lay q long passageway
softly lighted by ruby coIored light
that hung from the ceiling. He hur'
ried forward and soon found himself
in q wonderful garden. He heard the
tinkle Of fountain, and ne turned
to quench his thirst at its waters.
Then for the first time he saw
marble statue of maiden, the most
beautiful creature he had ever seen IN
all his life. 1t stood In n grove of
trees the leaves Of which were
wrought Of marvellous emeralds. The
statue seemed so lifelike that the
prince was half convinced the maiden
was living person. He put out his
hand anC touched hers. She was as
cold as any stone. Again he put out
his hand and laid it on her heart.
Now, the hand that he laid there
held the wonderfully wrought feather
the tal!sman. In an instant the
maiden sighed deeply and turned and
spoke to him. Quickly, without CIV
ing him time to ask single question,
she told him her story. She told OF
her capture by a wicked magician,
who desired her on account OF her
marvellous beauty; how he had chang
ed her into marble statue and set
her in the wonderful grove.
"You hold in your hand the tails
man which made him all powerful
and for which he and his brother were
fighting, for you must know" she con-
tinued. that when the brother, VINO
had been absent for many years, re-
turned and found the great power ana
wealth which the proper knowledge
Of the talisman gave It's possessor. he
came in the form Of raven and rob
bed his brother while he slept. But
the owner Of the talisman awoke just
as the raven was about to depart lie
Immediately changed himself Into
raven too. But what happened then
do not know. for they both few
away with the speed Of the wind"
Then the prince related what he had
seen and how the talisman came into
his possession.
Suddenly there was the whirr OF
wings above his head, and. looking up.
they perceived the two ravens fight
ing weakly.
"Draw your sword and kill them
both! cried the princess. knowing
