For the first time the state OF
Indiana has required her electors
to register. The state has al

but the democracy was of such a

her to the man of her choice.
During the ceremony Traumeri
was played by Mss Dale Ray

As her friends stood and watched
the beautiful ceremony a great
desire was felt by all present that
every good thing should be theirs.
The brides fower-like face
seemed at home in a bouquet of
handsome white chrysanthemums
that she carried, while the
groom's expressive features lent
the touch Of strength and rug
gedness needed to make the scene
complete.
They were dressed in travelling
attire and as soon as the ceremo-
ny was closed they boarded the
$50 train for Tennessee, to visit
relatives of the groom. 1t seems

a gasp OF surprise. On the deal

peered eagerly over his shoulders.

by a CHASTITY crimson halo Of blood,

Psychologists Disagree

There are few persons who realize how
greatly Psychologists are at variance in
their estimate of the actual work per-
formed by the Liver. While all agree
that it is the largest and one of the very
important glands of the body, when it
comes to the question of the actual work
performed. there seem TO be wide di-
versity of opinion.
Practically all are agreed, however,
that the principal work of the Liver is
the separation of such materials con.
tanned in the body as might exert pois-
onous influence upon the body unless
thrown off.
Rexall Liver Salts has been pro-
duced with the idea of assisting the tor
pid Liver to perform its proper functions
in a proper manner, and the success
which has attended the treatment leads
us to recommend this preparation to you.
If your case is not properly benefited,
we will refund all money you may have
paid us for the remedy.
