CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eat.
ing a Symptom That Should not
Be Dlsregarded

Appetite Is just a natural desire for
food. Loss Of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicates indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating is
a habit very dangerous to a persons
good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some OF the strongest,
heaviest, and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered stom-
ach. and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Brookings who SUI.
fer from any stomach arrangement,
indigestion, or dyspepsia. whether acute
or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
let's, with the distinct understanding
that We will refund their money with
out question or formality, IL after
reasonable s of this medicine, they
are not perfectly satisfied with the
results. We recommend them to u
customers every day, and have yet
to hear Of any one who has not been
benefited by them. We honestly be-
lieve them to be without equal. They
give very prompt relief, aiding to
n~eutralize the gastric juices. strength
en- the digestive organs. to regulate
the bowels, and thus to promote per.
feet nutrition, and eradicate all un.
healthy symptoms.
y We urge you to try a Csc box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
Is days treatment. At the end OF
that time. your money will be re-
turned to you II you are not satisfied.
or course, in chronic cases length OF
treatment varies. For such cases. we
have two larger sizes. which sell for
SOC. and $1.00. Remember, you a
obtain Rexall Remedies in this CON-
munity only at our store-The Rexall
Store. c. d. Kendall.

BOY SEES ROBBERS
DIVIDE LARGE SWAG

Mitchell, s. D., Sept. H.
Forced to keep quiet at the point
of a gun, the 12-year-old son OF
julius Eisenbraun. living seven
miles south Of Colina, In Trip
county, was spectator while
two supposed bank robbers d.
vided large quantity of money
In bank notes and gold and sill
yer coin.
The boy was hunting along the
Keya Paha river, when the con-
cussion of dynamite cap threw
him to the ground. He let forth
a cry Of alarm.
One Of the robbers grabbed a
gun and ran in the direction OF
the noise. Discovering the boy,
he forced him at the point Of his
gun to march down where the
spoils were being divided in a
c,ump Of underbrush. The boy
watched the division Of the mon
ey, which to him appeared
to be very large sum. When
the robbers had finished, one of
them threw the boy a silver dol
lar and warned him not to make
a sound for at least half hour
or they would kill him. Then
they disappeared.
