FREE If 1T FAILS
Your Money Back If You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine We
Recommend

We are so positive that our reme-
dy will permanently relieve consti.
patton, no matter how chronic 1t
may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine at our expense should it
fail to produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartlcs do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irrtate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take,
being eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons, and
old folks, as well as for the robust.
They act directly on the nerves and
muscles of the bowels. They ap-
parently have neutral action on
other associate organs or gland.
They do not purge, cause excessive
Iooseness, nor create any inconven-
ience whatever. They may be
taken at any time, day or night.
They will positively relieve chronic
or habltual constipation, if not of
surgical variety, and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic all.

Plant Less Cotton

"The Arkansas farmer has not
exercised good judgement in relying
on l-2 cent cotton to buy so cent
butter and sl4 hay" declared Depu,
ty Commissioner of Agriculture r..
M. Hutchins. "Less cotton, more
hay, hogs, corn and provisions make
prosperity. 1t is safe to say that
the consumers of feed IN Arkansas
will buy none than 10000 tons of
feed during the fiscal year, and buy
ing-too, at a price considerable
higher than was paid last year. Ev-
cry man who has raised cotton this
year knows what he has realized
from his cotton crop, he also knows
That he pays about Sl.5O for his

only such things as in Gods sight
would not be binding In those twelve
men, therefore, we recognize pie
nary inspiration, or special guidance
not accorded in this particular degree
to others of the brethren"
Surely there is no intimation in the
New Testament that as one after an
other of the Apostles died other men
were recognized as succeeding them.
On the contrary, the Scriptures re-
peatedly refer to the Twelve Apos-
ties Of the Lamb" Moreover, as the
Jewish Dispensation began at the
death Of Jacob in the recognition Of
his twelve sons, so the Christian Dis
pensation began at the death of Jesus
in the recognition Of His twelve Apos-
ties. And as one of the tribes of Is
rael was cut off, and is not mentioned
in the enumeration in the Apocalypse,
but the tribe of Manasseh substituted,
so amongst Jesus Apostles Judas is
dropped and a successor is appointed.
ST. Paul to Succeed Judas.
In the past we may have read too
carelessly the account of how the elev-
en- faithful Apostles exceeded their au-
thority in the selection of Matthias to
take the place of Judas. They should
have remembered that the Master Spe-
cifically told them to do nothing until
afterreceivingthe heavenly benediction.
Accrediting them with the very best
of heart intentions, it was, neverthe
less, effrontery on their part to select
two names and to determine that one
or the other must be the successor of
Judas. They had no authority for so
doing. AS for the one upon whom the
lot fell, Matthias, we hear nothing fur
Their of him. In Gods due time He
Himself brought forth Saul of Tarsus
st. Paul tells us that he found evi
dences that God had chosen him for
special service from his mothers
womb. And such special preparation
and supervision we doubt not was ap
plicable to all of The Twelve.
"A Crown of Twelve Stars"
The Lords specialization of the
twelve Apostles is variously referred
to. He said, ''Have not chosen you
twelve?" And again, "Ye shall sit on
twelve thrones" In the symbolical
book of Revelation He pictures the
Church as a a0omGR clothed with sun
light, standing over or near to the
moon, which symbolizes the Jewish
Law Covenant; and upon her head
was a crown of twelve stars, repre-
senting the twelve Apostles of the
Lamb.
Again, later on in the same book, we
find pictured the Church in glory be-
yond the veil, the Bride-the New Je-
rusalem OF this City we read that it
had twelve foundations, and in the
twelve foundations the names Of the
twelve Apostles.
The recognition of successors to the
Apostles was one of the first errors

Later great Church Councils were call
ed in which these bishops, as claimed
successors to the Apostles decided
what should and what should not be
believed by the Church, what was and
what was not orthodox.
1t can be readily seen that this exal-
tation of false apostles Revelation ii,
p, contrary to the Divine arrange
ment, opened a food-gate of error,
however well intentioned all concerned
may have been. 1t is surprising that
so many still hold to the creeds thus
formulated by pseudo-apostles. The
need of the hour is a recognition of
these facts and an abandonment of all
those creeds and a return to the words
of Jesus and the Apostles and the
Prophets. Only thus can we extricate
ourselves from the multiplied errors
represented in the six hundred divi-
