CHILDREN INJURED.
Ordinary cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be oVer-careful in the
selection of medicine for children
Only the very gentlest bowel medl
cine should ever be given, except
in emergency cases. Ordinary pills
cathartics and purgatives are apt te
do more harm than good. They may
cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after-effects that are ire
quently Notwithstanding.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safes
and most dependable remedy, which
we know, for constipation and asso
ciate bowel disorders. We have
such absolute faith in the virtues, o
this remedy that We sell it ON oul
guarantee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
OF such medicine to try it at oul
risk.
Rexan Orderlies are eaten just
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may ba
taken at any time, day or night; dc
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping
excessive lO0seness, or 0thef unde'
si1able effects. They have very
mild but positive action upon the or
gans with which they come in con-
tact, apparently acting as a regula-
tive tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat OF the bowel, thus overcoming
weakness, and aiding to restore the
bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly com
pletely relieve constipation, except
of course when of a surgical charac-
ter. They also tend to overcome the
necessity Of constantly taking Taxa
lives to keep the bowels in normal
condition Three sizes of packages,
10 cents, 25 cents, and so cents. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in Donaldsonville only at our

The Country Editor.
iSan Antonio Express

Replying to a suggestion made T.
Association that greater number of
country editors in Texas be sent to
the legislature, an exchange remarks
that the country editors are already
making sufficient sacrifices for the
country.
The contemporary might also have
added that the weekly newspaper ed
itor is doing more for the country
through the medium of his paper
than he Or most any other man could
do in the legislature. The editor of
the weekly newspaper is constantly
advertising the resources of the coun-
try; he is never-failing advocate
of the uplift of mankind; he pro-
notes the interests Of his state, his
county and his town; he assists the
preachers in their church work; aids
the teacher in his efforts to train the
young: he extends welcome hand
to the newcomer, works hand II
hand with the commercial organiza-
ton or other agency in exploiting
the section, and every year he gives
away, without cost, advertising which
\ if charged for at regular rates,
would more than double his income.
The editor of the weekly paper is
too valuable as a publisher to be
spared for legislative work, and
though he assists in making legis-
lators, governors, senators and pres
Iidents, he is wholly unselfish and
seldom does he ask for political
honors for himself. He can not be
spared from a field in which he is
so great factor for usefulness.

THE STATES MOST INTER
ESTING MAN.

Mr.. Houchin is a strong candidate,
and one of the best qualified to be
our State leader. Educated compan-
ionship and travel have fitted him to
be Just what the State needs. He is
today her most interesting man. He
is the farmers friend and knows the
problems he has to face in his bust
ness; is a student of agriculture and
knows the revelations made in behalf
of the farmer. He is believed to be
the solution of many problems that
are vexing the State. His name is a
record itself, and is cherished where
ever civic virtue is cherished or good
government has a champion.
He Will Fulfill His Promises.
l have known Mr.. Houchin for a
number of years, and am satisfied
he will fulfill his promises.

STOCKMEN FOR HIM.

We are for James A. Houchin for
Governor. We believe him to De a
capable business gentleman of the
highest type and if elected the prin-
ciples advocated by him will be per-
fected as fast as possible to the in
terest of the State. He advocates
higher methods of agriculture and live
stock breeding, building good roads,,
better schools and better labor condi-
tions, which We believe are the real
foundations of prosperity and good
citizenship. All of his enterprises
have been successful and we are en-
couraged in our belief that he will
manage the States business on The.
same high and successful manner as
that of his own.

NOMINATION A DEMO.
CRATIC VICTORY.

The public and private integrity OF
the man, his aggressive honesty, bust
ness capacity, sound judgment and his
true Democratic spirit mark him as
not only citizen of the highest type,
but pre-eminently fit him for the dis
charge of the duties of Governor of
this State.
For twenty years l have been his
neighbor and his friend. l have wit
messed his struggles and his tFiumphs.
He is sound and clean, and would give
to Missouri an administration of pub
lie affairs such as her splendid cit
izenship long have wished, but have
never had. In honoring him, Mis-
souri, would honor herself, and put
every interest Of the State upon the
high plane of moral excellence and
sound business integrity.
In common with what 1 believe to
be the majority of the business men
of the State, l am for Mr.. Houchin
without a doubt that his nomination

BELIEVES HIM LOGICAL
CANDIDATE.

! Ny opinion has been asked con-
corning the Gubernatorial race in,
Missouri. The announcement that
you were running for Governor came,
to me early in May. At that time I
did not know you. l had heard of you
very little; but upon investigating I
have satisfied in my feeling that you
were the most logical candidate from
the beginning. A great many people
through here were in the same posi-
ton as l. They did not know you.
And while there were plenty of men.
big" enough to be Governor, the well
balanced candidate has not appeared
in any other person than you. The
seven reasons you have for wanting:
to be Governor are sufficient to run.
the greatest nation on earth, and,
after meeting you personally and posi-
lively knowing that no faction, no ring
or no boss controls you or your CAM
paign, l voiced the opinion of 20 per
cent of the voters of Davies and Cald-
well counties when I say that you are
the most logical man in the race for
the Governorship. l end your strong
est holdings among the farmers, next
coming the laboring man, the business
man, the professional man, and the
ring" men even admit you are the
strongest candidate and these fellows
do not generally give up until they are
sure of defeat, and a politician who
wants his party to win tries to pick
the winner. l am confident that you
will win the nomination and personal
ly know a great number of Repub-
licans who are for your principles and
will support you this fall. l believe
that if Missouri wants to get back" in
Democratic row they must nominate
you. do not believe there is another
Democratic candidate for Governor
who can win next November.
I wish you the utmost success and
will use my influence and my news
paper to bring about majority for
you in this section of Missouri

WISHES SUCCESS.

l take pleasure in saying that dur
ing my acquaintance of the last ten
years with Mr.. Houchin l have known
of no more practical, energetic and,
successful business man in the State
of Missouri.
AS business man his success
proves his ability and if the State
of Missouri wishes a practical busi-
ness man at its head, it certainly can
get no better than to nominate and
elect Mr.. Houchin.

THE BEST CANDIDATE IN
THE RACE.

] endorse the candidacy of James
because l believe that he can be elect
ed Governor of Missouri by a larger
majority than any other candidate in
the race. He does not belong to the
ring and is running strictly on his
merits. Not only myself, but a large
majority of the business men, farmers
and laboring people of this county,
favor the candidacy of Mr.. Houchin
for Governor on account of his sterl-
ing qualities, honesty and business
ability, and on account of his quail
fcations to give Missouri y business
administration.
Mr.. Houchin should receive the uni
versal support of labor. He is the
only candidate that has made the
race for Governor in this state that
has Endorsed labor in his platform,
others have made verbal promises,
but labor has received only these
promises. On account of Mr.. Houchin
being known as a man of his word,
never having been accused of going
back on a promise, on account of the
hundreds of laborers employed by
him at his factories, and the high
scale of wages paid them, am more
than satisfied that labor, during his
administration as Governor of Mis-
souri,, will receive a square deal. That
labor will have friend in Mr.. Hou-
chin, and that their grievances will
be heard by him. He will see that
"they have equal rights, protection
and a square deal"

A WORKER FOR HoUCHIN.

l am glad to express my sentiments
in the game that the politicians have
played in this State. The great Demo
cratic party has been made to suffer
an ignominious defeat. And the pro-
fessional political boss has done for
Missouri Democracy and Missouri de-
cency what the boss always does for
commonwealth. What Missouri
needs is a Governor who will do things
instead of continuously playing to the
galleries. .

litical influence l have, and while ]

you 1 will do what 1 can.

Mr.. Houchin is successful business
man, and therefore he will give us a
business administration-the kind Mis-
souri, needs. He belongs to no ring
or clique, and therefore the admins
tration will be out of the hands of
the politicians when Houchin is Gov

HOUCHIN WOULD MAKE A
GOOD GOVERNOR.

A mans fitness to fill any station
in life is measured in a large degree
by his successes, and when called
upon to fill public position, what he
has been and done measures largely
the confidence that the public may
have in him to fill the position to
which he aspires. or which perhaps
has been voluntarily offered to him.
Such a man in my judgment is Mr..

ernor on the Democratic ticket and a
successful business man of Jefferson
