my HAT IS IN THE RING" "

The derivation OF Theodore Roose-
velt's now famous phrase, My hat
is in the ring has puzzled many
people, says the Chicago Journal
A man who was in Ashland in the
Kentucky mountains, when Mr..
Roosevelt made a speech there in
1900, has what he believes is the
answer.
After the speaking, when Mr..
Roosevelt was leaving the grove
where the crowd had gathered to
hear him, his way was blocked by a
raw-boned, 6-foot youthy who had OBJ
viously been partaking freely of the
wine of the country
This fellow scratched a circle in
the dirt with his toe, took off his
tattered coonskin cap and dropped it
inside the circle
'I'll kill anybody who picks up
that hat" he said.
And he produced a big blue-steel
revolver.
There was an immediate scattering
of the crowd.
From a safe distance everybody
watched the mountaineer swapping
about his hat and brandishing his
revolver.
Then the sheriff walked out to him
and laid his hand on his shoulder
and said:
Pete, there's only one man in the
country dares pick up that hat
"Show me him!" demanded Pete.
Yourself" said the sheriff, with
a flattering smile. Pete picked up
the hat, and minute later was in
handouts.
Mr. Roosevelt was much impressed.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Start In the Schools.
By GEORGE E. CANFIELD.

BY GEORGE E. CANFIELD.
The school is probably the most
hopeful field for our labors against
tuberculosis. For immediate prac-
teal results in lowering the death
rate the hospitals, dispensaries
and visiting nurses are perhaps
more important, but for the
achievement of final victory the
school offers the best opportunity.
There we can apply ourselves to
forming right habits instead of
trying to change bad ones. There
we have the best chance to ar
rest the germ before 1t starts on
its deadly work. There through
the education of the children we
can most thoroughly and effec-
lively educate the whole COM
munity.

FREE IF 1T FAILS
Your Money Back II You Are Not Sat
isfied With the Medicine We
Recommend.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be. that
We offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce sat
'isfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much
harm. They cause a reaction, irritate.
and weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic. Be-
sides, 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 RexaIl Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are ex-
ceedingly 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
or the nerves and muscles of the bow
els. They apparently have a neutral
action on other associate organs or
glands They do not purge, cause ex-
cessive looseness, or create any in
convenience whatever. They may be
taken at any time day or night They
will positively relieve chronic or habit
ual constipation, If not of surgical
variety, and the myriads of associate
or dependent chronic ailments, if taken
with regularity for reasonable length
of time. IL tablets, 10 cents; Sc tab
