Uses for Cotton Waste.

Watch man facing the problem Of
grease. with his motor He has one
uIfailing remedy-cotton waste. II
the machine needs cleaning, he pro-
duces his bunch of waste; if the oil
Is dripping TO the floor, a handful OF
waste removes it. If his hands are
greasy, he doesn't use a good towel.
and then try to wash it; he uses cot
ton waste and burns it when 1t will
absorb no more. If women who do
their own work would go to the near
est hardware store and buy this in
expensive cotton waste, they would
find their labors much lessened. The
saucepan, or the greasy frying pan,
II wiped with the waste soon after
being taken from the stove, will need
nothing more than rinsing. And dish
washing would be made easy If all
greasy and sticky dishes were wiped
off with the waste before being
washed.-Good Housekeeping.

Advice About Stomach Trou-
bles and How to
Relieve Them.

Do not neglect indigestion
which may lead TO all sorts Of
ills and complications. An en-
inent physician once said that
ninety five per cent of all the
ills of the human body have
their origin in "a disordored
stomach.
Our experience with Rexan
Dyspepsia Tablets leads us to
believe them TO be- among the
most dependable remedies
known for the relief of indiges
ton and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing
and healing TO the inilamcd
membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one Of
the greatest digestive aids
known To medicine. The relief
they afford is very prompt.
Their use with persistenoy aud
regularity for short time tends
to bring about a cessation OF
the pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rcxall Dyspepsia Tablets
help to insure healthy appetite,
to aid digestion, and thus pro-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of
our sincere faith in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, we ask you to
try them at our risk. If they
do not give you entire satisfac.

money you paid us for them,
without question or formality.

The United States Department o!
Agriculture's estimate in round num-
bers of the wealth produced each year
by the 100000 COWS in the United
States is $80O,0O0,0O0, or an average
profit of $685. per COW. If more at
tention was paid to feeding and breed
ing it should be easy to increase the
average profit per COW to at least one
tenth of the profit made by Sophie 18th
