HEARINGS NEAR ON
FREE SUGAR BILL
Senators Predict Great Contention
Over Underwood
Measure.

Hearings on the Underwood free sugar
bill, to be begun before the Senate III
nance Committee Wednesday, are re-
garded as the forerunner OF great con-
tention on the floor OF the Senate wnen
the bill reaches that stage OF considera-
tion. according to statements Of Sena-
tors today.
1t Is the general impression that the
Republican majority of the committee
will report the measure adversely. In
that event action on the income tax
excise bill. designed by House Demo-
Gratis as a revenue producer to offset
the losses which would be sustained in
governmental income should the sugar
bill be enacted. will not be considered
by the committee until the Senate takes
final action on the sugar bill. II the
sugar bill Is passed, the income tax
question will be put up to the Senate,
and 1t is likely to be in any event.

THE EFFECTIVE LAXATIVE
Tastes Like and is Eaten Like Candy

In our experience in the handling of
drugs and medicines, we believe we
have never had experience with any
Remedy that gave such great satisfac.
ton to our customers as do Rexall
Orderlies. This Remedy is not like
any other laxative or cathartic. 1t
contains all the good features of other
laxatives, but none of their faults.
Our own faith in Rexall Orderlies is
so strong that we offer them to you
with our own positive personal guar
antee, that if they do not thoroughly
satisfy you, you only need tell US and
we will hand back to you every penny
you paid US for them. Therefore, in
trying them upon our recommendation
you take no risk whatever.
Rexall Orderles taste and are eaten
like candy. They do not grippe, cause
nausea, excessive looseness, or any
other annoyance. They act SO easily
that they may be taken at any time,
day or night. They are particularly
good for children, aged or delicate per-
sons. They are put up in convenient
tablets in three sizes of packages.
Prices, 1Oc, Csc, and SOC.
Remember, Rcxall Remedies can be
obtained in this community only at our
store The Rexall Store. Edward T.
