completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost

strengthen those organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order

like candy. and are particularly good
for children. They seem to act direct
ly on the nerves and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on the other organs.
They do not purge or cause other
inconvenience. We will refund your
money if they do not overcome chronic
or habitual constipation and thus aid
to relieve the myriads of associate or
dependent chronic ailments. Try
Rexall Orderlies at our risk. Three

calling upon the people of the state
to contribute to the relief of the flood
sufferers of Black River Falls was is
sued by the state department.
Following is the proclamation:
An appalling catastrophe has come
upon the city of Black River Falls in
Jackson county. Practically all the
business section and a large portion
of the residence district has been
swept away by foods. Hotels, banks,
store buildings, iron works, factories
and the municipal lighting plant has
been completely destroyed. Even the
land on which they stood is
mud and water. The property loss has
already exceeded $1,50O,O0O. Fortu-
nately, no lives were lost and the i'm
mediate requirements of the stricken
city have been met. By request of the
sheriff, state troops are policing the
flooded district. Temporary supplies
of food have been provided by neigh
boring cities. The pressing need now
is money.
A resolution passed and signed by
the common council of Black River
Falls has been forwarded TO me under
the city's official seal, calling for f1nan-
cial assistance With full confidence
in the generous spirit of our people to
respond promptly and literally.
