CONFIDENCE.
We Back up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation
and Money.

We are so positive that we can
relieve onstipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than
useless to attempt to cure constipa-
ton with cathartic drugs. Cathartics
may do much harm. They may cause
a reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy involved the la
Dor of skilful research OF chemists.
This remedy produces results such
as are expected from the best of the
best known intestinal tonics, and it
is particularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are
exceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves ana mus
cles of the bowels, having, it would
seem, a neutral action on other Or
gans or glands. They do not purge
or cause inconvenience. If they do
not positively cure chronic or habit
ual constipation and thus relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, your money will
be refunded. Try Rexall Orderlies
at our risk. Three sizes of packages,
loo, Csc and soc. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in this
community only at our store-The
ReXall Store. Z. j. Parman's.

concerns every taxpayer of Lou

notice the citizens Of Shreveport
have volunteered to give their as

to give the people of that city a
more equitable system of assess

ments were something done To

ments were something done ia
remedy the evil. Among those
taking an active part in the work
at Sh eveport is Mr.. Ernest p.
Carste rs, a native Of New Iberia.
From the Shreveport Caucasian,
we reproduce the subjoined ad-
dress:
"Tha movement, said Mr.. Car
stems, one Of the most active mem
bers OF the publicity committee
carrying on the work and by
whom, with the Mayor, the meet
ing was called. is not an attack
on Mr.. Hollingsworth and is not
intended as such an attack is the
farthest thing from our minds
and we do not desire that impress
sion. to go abroad. We are mere
ly striving to arrive at more
equable system of assessment. y
Continuing, Mr.. Carstens gave
the following explanation of the
movem mt as printed recently i'll
the Ca ucasian:
AT the first session of the Leg
islaturc under the present admin
istration there was introduced by
Representative Sere, Good Gov
ernme! Lacquer, of New Or
leans, a bill making it mandatory
on the part of the New Orleans
City Council to provide means for
publishing the city assessment
roll. The measure impressed Jos.
e. GcLerelly, the floor leader of
the REGULARS" SO forcibly that
he suggested that it include the
entire State. The measure passed
in the lower house by large ma
jority The Caddo delegation
having given practically unan-
imous approval, but when it went
to the Senate the standpatters be-
ing in the majority it was put to
sleep.
'The Era Club of New Orleans,
recognizing the desirability and
the value of this measure in con-
nection with the mes-DemOcrat,
started the publication. 1t
aroused such interest that they
were forced to accede to the
many demands made upon them
to publish book containing
these assessments.
GA group of public-spirited
citizens of the City of Shreve-
port having at heart its welfare
have made arrangements with the
Caucasian to publish few OF the
streets. Commencing with this
issue we will publish few blocks
of Texas and Milan Streets as
representing the commercial Sec
ton, and when we finish this see
ton we will take up the older res
idential section, Fairfield and
Jordan Streets. from that we will
proceed to give the public an
idea of what the new suburban
additions look like, and will i'll
clude Wilkerson and Kirby SITS,
as characteristic Of that section.
From there we will go over to
the western portion of the city
and publish Laurel and Walnut
Streets. BY that time they will
have aroused enough interest to
give them the idea Of whether
the method of assessment in
vogue is the proper one. We !
suggest the geographical or block
system as compared to the alpha
betical now in use. We believe
this will pave the way"
