street, came home from school on
Monday afternoon as usual, but upon
entering his home did not see his

he became frightened and ran next

There's NO RISK
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made a specially
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy known
for the relief of acute indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients
are soothing and healing to the in
famed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one of the
greatest digestive aids known to medi-
cine. The relief they afford is almost
immediate. Their use with persisteI-
cy and regularity for a short time
brings about a cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. AS evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
let's, we ask you to try them at our
risk. If they do not give you entire
satisfaction, we will return you the
money you paid us for them, without
question or formality. They come in
three sizes, prices 25 cents, SOC and
$1.OO. Remember you can obtain
them only at-The Rexall Store.-THE

The Handkerchief Came From Italy.

A writer in French review points
out that the handkerchief does not
come to us from China, as has been
generally believed, but from Italy. 1t
is only 300 years ago that the hand
kerchief of Venetian lady was con-
sidered great curiosity. Theo hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re-
ceived with great favor at the court of
France. Handkerchiefs were then
made Of cambria or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry III. Of France the sachet was
introduced. The handkerchief was
taken into Germany little later and
was known as the "fazelletin," after
its italian name. Only persons of
quality used 1t, and an edict in 1896
was published at Dresden interdicting
the use of the handkerchief among the
trading classes.-London Globe.

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.

greater portion OF nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
