sizes May Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cine should be given. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
too apt to do more harm than good.
They sometimes cause gripping, nausea
and distressing after-effects, and may
actually injure the health, thus estab-
fishing life-lasting annoyance
We personally recommend and guar.
antee Rexall Orderlies as safe and
dependable remedy for constipation
and associate bowel disorders. We
have such faith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell 1t on our guar
antee of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfac
ton, and we urge all in need Of such
medicine to try it at our own risk
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken al
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea. nausea, gripping. excessive
looseness, Or other undesirable effects
They have very mild but positive &C
ton upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting al
a regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat OF the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to re
store the bowels TO more vigorous
and healthy activity
Rexall Orderlies not only relieve
constipation, but help to remove the
cause of this ailment. They also fire.
quently overcome the necessity o.
constantly taking laxatives to keeI
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really, in our opinion. ne
similar medicine SO good as Rexal
Orderlies for the purpose to which i
Is directed, especially for children
aged and delicate persons. They arr
prepared in tablet form and in two
sizes OF packages; IL tablets, 10c; 81

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The col
lapse of Senator LaFollette means the
collapse of his presidential campaign,

boomers that he could not hope TO be
nominated for president While boast

ence of the Wisconsin senator him,
helf, notwithstanding the continual
dropping out of original LaFollette
men, who got on the Roosevelt "band
wagon Or who were showing symp
toms of getting back into the party tc
which they claim allegiance,
1t has been recognized since Roose

ever strength LaFollette developed
would at the last minute when it was
found there was no hope for his noni

IN FIRST CAMPAIGN SPEECH
SINCE HIS NOMINATION TAFT
FLAYS DISHONEST ELECTORS

Washington, Aug. 17-President
Taft yesterday made his first politi-
cal speech since that when notified
of his denomination. Addressing
members of the Maryland Republi-
can Editorial Association at the
White House he declared bluntly
that Presidential electors were "dis-
honest men" If they let their names
appear on the Republican ballot and
intended to vote for the candidate of
another party. He asserted that
those who were not for the Republi-
can party were against it and should
get out Of the way.
"All we ask is fair fight. A man
cannot be in the Republican party
and in third party at the same time
and should be compelled to make his
selection" said the President. "Regu
larity or feeling of regularity and re
spect for the Republican party are
going to bring over into the Republi
can party many men who have beer
doubtful and 1t is going to increas,
that number, in my Judgment, as W.
approach the election. 1t is there
