Railroad Saves Trees.

Some of the so-called soulless corpora
tons are not so soulless after all. At
least that opinion is held by residents of
Sharpsville and in favor of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad.
The Baltimore and Ohio company
went to the trouble to purchase extra
land for tracks and station in order to
allow two beautiful specimens of silver
leaf maple trees, each nearly seventy
five feet high, to keep on growing on
the right of way when by chopping
them down many hundreds of dollars
could have been saved.
When the engineers ran their grades
into the town the plans called for the
tracks to be laid over the ground now
occupied by the pair of stately trees.
Then some of the big officials inspected
the route and discovered the trees.
Incidentally few lovers Of the trees in
Sharpsville went to the magnates with
Railroad man spare that tree" The
plea was needed and the engineers had
to run new lines and make plans for a
curved track in order that the trees
might stand undisturbed. Sharon cor

a Statement of Facts Backed by
Strong Guarantee.

We guarantee immediate and positive
relief to all sufferers from constipation.
In every case where our remedy fails to
do this we will refund the money paid
us for it. That's a frank statement of
facts, and WE want you to substanti tie
them at our risk.
Rexall Orderies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at any
time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as
reRulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies are indispensable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We cannot
too highly recommend them to all
sufferers from any form of constipation
and it's attendant evils. That's why we
back our faith in them with our promise
of money back if they do not give entire
satisfaction. Three sizes: l2 Tablets 10

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH.
Good Offer Should Be Warning
to Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journal
recently have had much to say relative
to a famous millionaires offer of a
million dollars for new stomach.
This great multl-millinaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric juices,
or by lack of tone in the walls of the
stomach. The result is that the stomach
loses its power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore to
the gastric juices their digestive power,
and to aid in making the stomach strong
and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are a most dependable remedy for
disordered stomachs, indigestion, and
dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will re.
turn your money if you are not more
than satisfied with the result.

Fires Due to Smoking.

New York, Jan. 10. - Thirty-five
thousand "no smoking under penalty of
arrest" placards were today ordered by
Fire Commissioner Johnson to be posted
in buildings where crowded working
conditions make the use of pipes, cigars
or cigarettes a menace to life and
property. The signs are in three Ian
guages, 5000 in Italian, 10000 in Eng
lish and 10000 in Hebrew. Commits
sioner Johnson said today;
careless use of smoking tobacco is
alarmingly great. More than one fourth
the fires each year in New York are
started that way"

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Breeders and colony houses with re-
movable roofs are very convenient for
cleaning. Dampness may thus be dried
nights the roof may be removed or
raised to let in fresh air.
When fowls show signs of disease
first look at their tufts and necks for
lice or in the henhouse for mites.
When they are worried by these crawl
ers they sometimes show symptoms of
several diseases at the same time.
1t is stated that S2.210.O00 is lost by
Indiana farmers on bad eggs that are
counted out of their shipments and
charged to them by commission men.
This loss is charged to improper gath
ering, storing, handling and packing
of eggs.
Instead of sitting in the shade and
counting future profits after the
strenuous Matching and brooding sea-
son is over. the practical poultryman
starts a cleaning campaign and per
fects plans for hen comfort for the
trying winter season.
When the farmer saves up the eggs
awhile. and the huckster keeps them
awhile and the country storekeeper
holds them awhile, and the wholesaler
stores them awhile. and the city store
keeper has them awhile, it's no wonder
those eggs smell mile. is it?
When the skin gets scurfy and the
feathers drop off it's a case of favus
and place for fowls to catch this is
at many fall shows. The melting sea-
son is then on. and the absence of
plumage is ascribed to mott. \ dip
of tobacco water stops this nasty para
sitical trouble quick.
One of the amusing things you read
is the poultry journal editorial describ-
ing the farmer as a farm fossil and
urging him to throw off his barnacles
and do something for the poultry in
dustry. The poultry crop of this coun-
try is $1,OOO,O00,OO0. and the farmer
produces 95 per cent of it. Nuf sed!
In the twelve months laying contest
