Almost every boy and girl has heard
of the old tongue twister that begins
"Peter Piper picked peck Of pepper"

one to repeat after you If you have
learned It well enough to say 1t pref
ty quickly yourself:
"How much wood would wood
chuck chuck II woodchuck could
chuck wood? If woodchuck could
chuck wood the wood that n wood
chuck would chuck Is the wood that
n woodchuck could chuck II the wood
chuck that could chuck wood would
chuck or woodchuck could chuck

Here Is n short one. but rather con
fusing to repeat after hearing 1t only
once: II know Emo; you know too. In
fact. we all three know. We know
Emo He knows you. You know

Flaus at Half Mast,

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever n prominent person dies, especially
II he IL connected with the government,
the flags on public buildings are hoist
ed only part Of the way up This Is
called half mast. Did you ever stop to
think what connection there could be
between Il flag that was not properly
hoisted and the death OF II great man?
Ever since flags were used In war II
has been the custom to have the dag OF
the superior or conqucriug nation
above that Of the inferior or vanQuish-
ed. When an army found Itself hope
lessly beaten II hauled It's dag down
far enough for the ting Of the victors to
be placed above II on tho same pole
This was a token not only of submis-
sion. but of respect
In those days when famous soldier
died flags were lowered out of respect
to his memory. The custom long ago
passed from purely military usage to
public life OF all kinds. the flag flying
ut half mast being sign that the dead
man was worthy OF universal respect.

Siqns Of tho Zodiac.

The zodiac Is an imaginary band or
belt extending around the circuit Of
the heavens, having as It's middle line
the apparent path OF the sun. The
band extends for distance OF nine
celestial degrees on each side Of the
middle line and Ii therefore eighteen
degrees In width The name zodiac
was given to this celestial belt by the
ancients. It comes from the Greek
word "zo-on," which means animal"
and was applied to the belt because
the twelve consultations that form 1t
are named after animals, with FIVE ex-
ceptions, or with only one exception
II we consider man as an animal, as,
Of course, he Is.
The twelve consultations are Aries,
the RAM Taurus, the Bull; Gemini,
tho Twins; Cancer, the Crab: Leo, the
Lion; Virgo. the Virgin; Libra, the
Balance; Scorpio, the Scorpion; Sagit-
tarius, the Archer: Capricornus, the
Goat; Aquarius, the Water Bearer, and
Pisces, the Fishes. The sun appears
to pass through these twelve constel-
lations, one after another, during
twelve months. and astronomers have
divided the zodiac, therefore, into
twelve equal parts OF thirty degrees
each, the entire circuit OF the heavens
being, as you know. 800 degrees. The
division into twelve equal parts IL
more for convenience than anything
else, for the consultations vary in
size. and those parts are called the
''Higns OF the zodiac" The sun enters
Aries Mt the vernal equinox March 20
and passes into the other signs In reg
ular order from month to month. com.
Ing around to Aries again the next

A Statement of Facts Backed by
Strong Guarantee.
We guarantee immediate and positive
relief to all sufferers from consultation.
In every case where our remedy fails
to do this we will return the money
paid US for it. That's a frank state
ment of facts, and we want you TO
substuntiate them at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just like
candy, are particurly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
dlarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come IN contact, apparently acting as a
regulatlve tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpassable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We cannot
too highly recommend them to all
sufferers from any form of constipation
and its attendant evils. That's WHY we
back our faith in them with our pro-
mise of money back if they do not give
entire satisfaction. Three sizes: 70
