NO CAUSE TO DOUBT.
A Statement of Facts Backed by a
Strong Guarantee.

We guarantee immediate and posi-
tive relief TO all sufferers from con-
stipation. In every case where our
remedy fails to do this we will re-
turn the money paid us for it. That's
frank statement of facts, and we
want you to substantiate them at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable eff
fects. They have a very mild but
positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, appar-
emily acting as regulative tonic
upon the relaxed muscular coat of
the bowel, thus overcoming weak
ness, and aiding to restore the
bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies are indispensable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We can
not too highly recommend them to
all sufferers from any form of con-
stipation and its attendant evils.
That's why we back our faith in
them with our promise of money
back if they do not give entire salts
faction. Three sizes, q tablets 10
cents, SO tablets 25 cents and so
tablets so cents. Remember. you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in DEBORAH

Farmers For Game Wardens.

An agitation has commenced in
central Illinois in favor of the farmer
as game warden instead of the poll
tician. The attention of the law
makers of Iowa should also be called
to this matter, says an exchange.
With the system at present in vogue
in Iowa, only very little good is ac-
complished, as our wardens usually
arrive after the violations have been
committed and the violators have
made their getaway. The argument
is advanced that the violations of the
game laws are largely upon the
farms, and the argiculturists are il
a better position to protect the birds
than is the city warden 1t is claim
ed that the average farmer appre-
GATES the value of the birds in de-
stroying insects and will not be back
ward in prosecuting any who kill the
feathered tribe in defiance of the law.
1t is recommended that a few farm
ers in each township be given police
powers with the authority to arrest
all pot hunters and trespassers.

An Innocent Victim.

A dealer in ground feed not many
miles from Wayerly was the innocent
victim the past week of one of the
stringent Iowa laws. 1t seems the
mills send out carload OF their pro-
duct and in the car they place sufti-
cient tags saying that each sack has
been inspected. The dealer is sup
posed to put these on the sacks. In
this case a farmer drove to the ware
house in which the ground feed was
stored and loaded several sacks
drove to the office of the dealer and
told him he had loaded certain
number of sacks of middlings and TO
charge him with the amount. The
dealer did not think of the tags and
the farmer drove away. He hadn't
gone far before a state inspector
climbed onto his wagon, noticed that
the tags were missing and imme-
diately had the dealer arrested and
taken before justice of the peace,
where he told his story and was fined
the minimum fine prescribed by law.
These state inspectors are always
showing up as just the wrong time
In this case there was no disposition
or desire on the part of the dealer
to defraud or cheat anybody, as il
was really not his fault.-Waverly

CREAM AND EGGS MIXED.
Farmer Comes to Oity With VaIu-

Runs Away.

Mr.. Funk, farmer living on the
Meyers place twelve miles north of
the city, drove in this morning with
ten gallons of cream and ninety doz-
en- eggs in his wagon, stopping at the
Illinois Central depot for the purpose
of arranging for the shipments of
the eggs and cream. While inside
the team took fright and broke away
from the man in charge, running
east to the Farmers elevator, where
they overturned the wagon, splitting
out the cream and eggs. From there
the animals ran south to Clark street
and then east to the college and cir
cling came back to the Lincoln school
where they became entangled in the
guy wire of an electric light post and
were stopped. The team escaped in
jury, but the harness and wagon
were somewhat damaged. IT'S said,
too, that creamed eggs were much in
evidence about the ground adjacent
to the elevator named.-Charles City

BODY OF BABE IN BOX.
Boys Make GrewsOme Find ON Greek
Bank.

Marshalltown, April 27.-While
playing along the bed of Linn creek,
two small boys found a box, which,
upon investigating by opening, found
the dead body of girl babe. The
body was pretty we'll preserved, and
not badly decomposed The find was
reported to the police, who are now
investigating.
Coroner f. H. Boucher, who took
charge of the body, can find no
marks of violence, and does not be-
lieve that the babe ever lived. From
all appearances it had been placed in
the soft earth of the creek bank
about two weeks ago. There is moth
ing in the wrappings to give any in
location as to where the body may
have come from. The babes body
was encased in two towels and a
newspaper and then placed in an
oleomargarine box. The internal
revenue label on this box bears the
date of Jan. 20, 1912.

Burns, the popular drayman, went
to independence and bought pair
of mules, and was presented with the
following pedigree, which ought to
insure them giving him the best of
service:
George Hartert has lost faith in
the mule family. The other day MIR.
Hartert was enjoying ride in his
Ford car and in the course of his
drive passed a team of mules beir 9
driven by Mr.. Nichols on a street in
the northeastern part of the city. The
mules showed no apparent fright at
the car-nobody ever heard of a
mule getting scared, anyway-and
after passing, Mr.. Hartert was driv-
ing along leisurely and had turned a
corner when he heard a noise behind
and looked around to behold that
team of long cared animals coming
at a lively speed and pulling the two
lumber wagons to which they We're
attached. George didn't think they
would turn the same corner that he
had turned, but they did, then he
turned his car off the street in order
to get out of their way, but that team
of mules did the same thing and they
ran slap-bang into the rear of the
auto, breaking the top, and they also
managed to collide with telephone
pole in the course of their sprint, the
doubletrees and harness being dam
aged in the mix-up. Mr.. N. was
thrown from the wagon, but escaped
injury. When mule gets anything
into his head it takes something pref
~ solid to drive it out and this team
had to collide with an auto and a
telephone pole before they came to
their senses. Independence Bulle-
