Their own lawyers had to admit that
they collect charges at both ends, on

These express companies originally
put very little money into their bust

they have robbed the American people

They and the railroads are in corhoot

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distress
sing Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicines for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinarily, pills. cathar-
tics and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause gri-
ping, nausea and other distressing af-
ter-effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which we
know, for constipation, and associate
disorders. We have such absolute faith
in the virtues of this remedy that we
sell it on our guarantee of money back
in every instance where it fails to give
entire s, tisfaction, and we urge all in
need of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause d.
arrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
%looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have a very mild but positive &C.
ton upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as a
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel, thus overcom.
ing weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly complete.
, ly- relieve constipation except, of course,
when of a surgical character. They also
tend TO overcome the necessity of con.
stantly taking laxatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition.

Grenada, Miss.

Grenada, Miss.
Dear Sir: A new word has come into
use in paint; it is strong. Strong paint
is paint as strong as paint can be.
Weak paint is paint not so strong,
If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a
job and another Is, the l0-gallon paint
is the stronger.
If n paint wears 10 years and an
other 5, the 10-year paint is the
stronger.
The strongest paint is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes,
and greater. Devoe is the strongest of
all. A job that takes 10 gallons Devoe
takes more than 20 Of some. And a
job Of Dsvoe wears several times as
long as a job of some paints.
o. E. Perry, East 9Th ST., St., Erie,
Pa, painted two houses same size;
same time; with two paints same price;
took 8 gallons Devoe to 4 of the other
and in three years Devoe was the bet.

There are strong and weak paints

An Attempt to Make the Merchants
Aid the Express Companies.
ANTI-PARCELS POSTCONVENTION

Dear Sirs:-Thls is to inform you
that after due consideration by the
Anti-Parcels Post Convention to be
held In Nashville, February 26-27-28th,
and that through the courtesy of the
Nashville jobbers and manufacturers a
free round-trip ticket will be sent you
if some member of your firm will agree
to come. This invitation is strictly
limited to members of firms and is not
transferable.
We know that you, as a progressive
merchant, appreciate the Importance of
the occasion, and that you keenly rea-
lie the menace to your interest and
that of all other merchants, which tn
enactment of a Parcels Post Bill entails.
The convention this year promises to
be a far greater success than even that
of last year, when 1000 representative
merchants from all over the South at
tended. We believe that we can state
with confidence that, had not this con-
vention been held, parcels post legis-
lation would have been enacted by
Congress last year. We hope to create
such sentiment throughout the South
and in Congress by u convention this
wear, that action on the bill will be in
definitely postponed.
Speakers of national reputation wi
address the convention.
The force of the sentiment of the con
vention will be largely measured by tn
number of prominent merchants at
tending. 1t is our earnest desire, there
fore, that you be there. We shout
have not less than 1000 prominen
Southern merchants.
Please return enclosed card at once
that we may send you a ticket prompt
ly. Yours truly,

FATE OF CUP DEFENDERS
VigiIant Broken Up and the Pilgrim
q FfsherbOaf.

New York, May 2S.-The old 90-foot
sloop Pilgrim, which was built in 1893
for the defense of the Americas cup.
is now fisherman. She is equipped
with two S5-horse power motors as
auXiliaries to her sails. She left Port
land harbor last week under power and
although her power is small for yes
sci of her size, she moved very quick
ly through the water. The Pilgrim
was a fin keel boat, built from de-
signs by the late George Stewart. She
carried about seventy tons of lead
shaped like a cigar a the end of
thin steel fin and the hull was shaped
somewhat like a canoe. At times she
was remarkably fast, but she was not
balanced right and there was often
trouble experienced steering the boat
She had a habit of taking the bit in
her teeth as a horseman might say,
and going she liked, regardless
of the efforts of the man at the wheel
to get her on her course Yachtsmen
on other vessels would always give
her plenty of room. She took part in
trial races with the Vigilant, Colonial
and Jubilee, and the Vigilant was Sc
lected to defend the cup. Afterward
the fin and lead were removed, a house
was Quit on the nun anu She was
used for several seasons as a steam
yacht. Now she has gone the way Of
many other famous craft and is end
ing her days in trade. The Vigilant
has been broken up, the Colonial is now
the schooner Corona and the Jubilee
is hauled up at the Burgess yard at
Marblehead. She has stood on the
beach for several years and receives
one coat of paint each year to keep
her from rusting.

MRS. s. NJ. SPARkMAN
(Tampa Times. 27th)

Mrs Mary Ellen Sparkman, wife of
Congressman s. NJ. Sparkman, died at
1925 o'clock this afternoon at their
home, corner of Nebraska and Mich
igan avenue. All of the members of
the family were with her when she
peacefully passed into the great be-
yond.
For more than a week Mrs. Spark
man had lowered between life and
death. being kept alive only by artifi-
cial means, and these failed today
when the thread of life had become too
weak.
Mrs. Sparkmans illness dates back
to last September, when it became
known that she was afflicted with a
painful and deadly malady. Hoping
against hope, Colonel Sparkman had
her removed to Johns Hopkins hospi-
tai, where an operation was perform
ed. She was in the hospital for some
two months, and then returned home.
Last March, the disease returning with
greater force, she was again taken to
Johns Hopkins, and remained there
another two months, returning home
about one month ago. She was very
weak and since that time has been
confined to her room, being given ev-
cry possible attention that skilled
medical men and loving hands could
administer, but to no avail
One week ago, it becoming appar-
emf that the end was near, Congress

Mary Ellen Sparkman was a native
Of Hillsborough county, and in the

remains will be laid to rest. She was
born in June, 1853, and was a member
of a well known family She was

the death angel came. The children
are Mrs. E. H. Hart, Mrs. c. E. Ball
Mrs. v. H. knight, Mrs. Rollin Jeffer-
son, Miss Eugenia Sparkman, Messrs

Mrs. Sparkman was a devout Chris

dist Episcopal church, South, much
| beloved by all who knew her, as a
model mother, and admired for her
broad charity. There are few women

greet not only in Tampa, but through
out Florida.

When Florida puts her convicts to
work on the roads or other public
works as she eventually will, the Star
thinks it will be a good idea to abolish
the degrading custom of clothing them
in stripes, and let them dress as ordi-
nary men. This would mitigate some
what their humiliation as they meet
the vision of passers-by. Also. they
should not be required to work for the
state more than ten hours a day, and
should be given chance to put in the
remainder of their time, that can be
spared from sleep, in work that will
bring in money for themselves or their
families. or IN study. In the Stars
opinion such a course would tend to
reform many IL not most of them.
