WHY HESITATE?
An Oifer That Involves no Money Risf
If You Accept 1t.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it
fails.
Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness of the nerves and muscles
of the large intestine. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly good for
children. They seem to act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have a neutral action
on the other organs. They do not
purge or cause other inconvenience.
We will refund your money if they do
not overcome chronic or habitual con-
stipation and thus aid to relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments. Try Rexall Orderlies
at our risk. Three sizes, 10c, 25c, and
soc. Sold only at our store-The
Rexall Store. F. w. Bucknam.

Arson. The plan provides for l.
hydrants in each of the two villages
This would mean a reduction oil
from one-third to one-half in the pre-
yailing insurance rates in Arson and
about one-third in North Arson. After
a period of five years should the town
desire to buy, the company Is obliged
to sell according to the charter, An
other interesting provision brought
out In the discussion following Mr.
Hanson's explanation was the fact
that it will also furnish water for
Madison, as according to the charter
the company can buy out the Madison
Water Co., or be purchased by 1t, one
of which things would probably be
done.
Much interest was manifested
throughout the meeting. No formal
action was taken, but an article will
be inserted in the warrant for tie an
nual town meeting. There is a strong
sentiment for municipal ownership,
but owing to the heavy Indebtedness
of the town this would be impracti-
cable at the present time. During the
past four years the fire losses in An
son alone have amounted to about
$50 1000, and many citizens in the
south part of the town feel that there
should be some measures taken for
better protection.

The reading public all through New
England has cause to appreciate the
wonderful galaxy of writer's of Ma
tional fame whose articles appeared
the Botson Sunday Globe. In no other
paper in New England appears the
timely and philosophical humor of
Mr.. Dooley. He and his friends, Mr..
Hinnessey, have way of hitting the
nail on the head every time. Mr..
Dooley bids fair to add to his laurels
by the new series just begun in the
Sunday Globe.
The Adventures of Kitty Cobb by
one of the most famous artists in the
country, James Montgomery Flagg, is
another feature of the Sunday Globe.
The large and dramatic drawings tell
their own story, and Mr.. Flaggs sub
ject is one full of human interest
the story of simple country girl in
the large city. When the series is
finished, Globe readers will have a
book of pictures of great value.
George AIDE is another author whose
writings hit the popular fancy. His
fables of the 1912 model now running
in the Sunday Globe are better than
any this famous author and play
wright has produced.
The Sunday Globes magazine sec
ton is contributed by long list of
capable writer's, on subjects of world
wide interest. James 3. Morrow's
interviews with famous men. Frank
