AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many CaIhartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels
Very truly

If you are subject to constipation, you
should avoid strong drugs and cathartics.
They only give temporary relief and their
reaction Is harmful and sometimes more
annoying than constipation. They in no
way effect a cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever devised.
Our faith in it is so strong that we sell it
on the positive guarantee that it shall not
cost the user a cent If it does not give
entire satisfaction and completely remedy
constipation. This preparation is called
Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt.
soothing. and most effective in action.
They are made of a recent chemical dis
covery. Their principal ingredient is
oderless tasteless and colorless. Combined
with other well-known ingredients. long
established for their usefulness in the treat
ment of constipation, it forms tablet
which Is eaten just like candy. They may
be taken at any time, either day or night.
without fear of their causing any incon-
venience whatever. They do not gripe,
purge, nor cause nausea. They act with
out causing any pain OF excessive looseness
of the bowels. They are ideal for children
weak. delicate persons and aged people.
as well as for the most hearty person.
They come in three size packages, IL
tablets, 10 cents; SO tablets. as cents: So
tablets. so cents. Remember, you can
obtain them only at our store-The Rexall
Store. The Valley Drug Store.

protection totals about 1000 more The
engineers residence cost in the neighbor
hood Of $500. which taken together with
foregoing totals amounts to about $40, 500,
The town council will Immediately take
up the matter of water users rates. and
pass ordinances for the regulation thereof.
An ordinance will also be passed to provide
for the organization Of fire company. so
that the benefits Of the Municipal water
system can be enjoyed to the fullest extent.
The loss by fire during the year Of 1917.

the ccst Of the new water system. This
loss could not have occurred had the water
works been installed at that time.
Missouri River water stands all the tests
OF the State Board of Health. and is gener-
ally acknowledged to be the best water for
all purposes in the State. The supply goes
without question, and the cost of mainta tain
ing the Municipal water system will be
amply covered by the rates to be put in
force by the Town Council. so that. gener-

BUMPER CROPS
Conditions Are Prime this Spring
for the Largest Crops Ever
Raised Here
Written BY W. Mathews.


With full credit of Fall rains and Win
ter SHOWS. the soil conditions are practic-
ally perfect in this district and as the
spring approaches the farmers are already
preparing for vigorous seeding campaign.
Harrows and drills are beginning to move
out from the implement stores. seed is be-
ing purchased at the elevators. and Spring
supplies of food stuiis are being laid in by
the farmers.
Agreater acreage Of fall blowing was
recorded last fall. than is usually the case.
and the farmers generally. are in much
better shape for the spring work than here
tofore. Many of them were able to select
their seed from last seasons crop. and most
OF them have horses in good condition for
the rush, which will probably begin earlier
this year than common. The sun is al
ready beginning to make a showing on the
snowbanks. and the ice in the Missouri
River has begun to break up.
Special attention will be given to rapid
seeding this year; more. in fact than ever
before. as the farmers have discovered that
even twenty-four hours difference in time.
during seeding. may make or lose crop.
After the soil is stirred and during the
preparation of the seed bed. evaporation is
very rapid; and the seed should be sown by
the same process. if possible. by which the
soil is prepared for it, In other words.
the cultivating and seeding should be done
at one and the same time.
The principle crops this year will be
wheat and fax Oats will be sown for
farm feed only. Corn will be planted for
fodder purposes as the farmers are begin
ming to see the wisdom Of keeping few
cows. Considerable dairying is carried on
and the milk herds will be materially in
creased this year. Many farmers are
producing their own pork. which disposes
probably of the by-products of the dairy.
and some provision must be made for the
feeding of all domestic animals during the
Winter months.

The importance Of this movement can
not be overestimated. The farmers of this

more for their butter fat than they now do

will be relieved from the labor entailed in
