been run over by autos if they hadn't
taken to flying.
In war time a flying machine can
hover over the camp of the enemy
and see what he is doing. If he is
playing poker he should and will be
attacked at once.
The Wright Brothers were the first
to fly. and the first to let the other

TO write a composition on the

say:
Flying is called the sport Of kings

A balloon is lighter than the air,

CHANGING Horses.

Now that the Taft administration
has found itself in the middle of a
troubled political stream it proposes
to change horses. The tariff and
reciprocity horse, as a means of car
rying Mr.. Taft into another term as
anti trust horse. The Presidents
friends, and the President himself,
are about ready to admit that the
people will not endorse his tariff
program, so he plans now to begin
shouting at the trusts in an effort to
divert attention from his efforts as
tariff reformer.
That this change is to be made in
policy is indicated by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham, who has let it be
known that he intends to get after
some of the big corporations.
That President Taft's Opposition
to the trusts will be about as sim
cere as his advocacy of tariff revis-
ion downward is indicated by his
Detroit speech, in which he opposed
amendment to the anti trust law

Or with the mischief of the pup
Chews all my shoes and slippers up,
And, when he's done it to the core,
With eyes al eager, pleads for more.
Somewhere, upon his hinder legs,
My little doggie sits and begs,
And in a Wistful minor tone
Pleads for the pleasure of the bone
pray it be his owners whim
To yield and grant the same to him!

With stores Of yelps of glad delight
To bid me welcome home at night.

THE FAVORITE LAXATIVE
One at Night Makes the Next Day
Bright: No Charge if 1t Doesn't

Because OF its extremely gentle
and effective action, Rexall Order
hes have become the most popular
remedy for constipation.
We are so positive that Rexall
Orderlies will do all that is claimed
for them that we positively guaran-
tee to hand back the money you
paid us for them upon your mere
request, if you are not entirely sat-
isfed.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, are very pleasant to the
taste, do not gripe, cause nausea, or
any other annoyance usually exper-
fenced when ordinary cathartics are
used.
Rexall Orderlies have a positive
regulative effect upon the bowels
and tend to provide permanent re-
lief from constipation and the my
raid of associate. ailments. Besides
they help to overcome the necessity
of the constant use of laxatives tt
keep the bowels in normal condition
We honestly believe there is ne
similar medicine so good as Rexal
Orderlies, especially for children
aged, or delicate people. They are
prepared in convenient tablet form
in three sizes Of packages. Prices
10c, 25c and SOC. Why not try then
