CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distress.
ing Complaints

You cannot be over-careful in the selec
ton Of medicine for children. Only the
very gentlest bowel medicine should ever
be given. except in emergency cases. Or
binary pills. cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good. They
may cause gripping. nausea and other dis
tressing after-efects that are frequently
misunderstanding.
We personally recommend and guarantee
Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most
dependable remedy. which we know. for
constipation and associate bowel disorders.
We have such absolute faith in the virtues
Of this remedy that we sell it on our guar.
antee Of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfaction.
and we urge all in need of such medicine
to try il at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like candy
are particularly prompt and agreeable in
action. may be taken at any time. day
night: do not cause diarrhoea. nausea
gripping. excessive looseness. or other unde-
sirable effects. They have a very mild
but positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact. apparently
acting as regulative tonic upon the re-
Taxed muscular coat of the bowel. thus
overcoming weakness, and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly completely
relieve constipation. except of course when
Of surgical character. They also tend to
overcome the necessity of constantly tax
ing laxatives to keep the bowels in normal
condition. Three sizes of packages, 10
cents. IS cents. and so cents. Remember

Now began Lees American military
career. From the first he seems to
have had two aims. One. to seize
Washington's position as commander
in-chief; the other, to sell the Amer

to the British. After more than once
risking the army's welfare by disobey-
ing Washington's orders. Lee was cap
tured at Basking Ridge, N. j., by the
British. Whether or not he consented
TO the capture in order to carry out
his treason plot cannot be known.
But during his captivity (most Of
which he spent in a suite Of rooms in
New York City HalD he came to
terms of understanding with the Brit
ish general, Howe. and explained to
him his ideas on how best to crush
the Revolution. Thinking ne would
be of more use to them in the Rsvolu-
tionary army than In prison, the Brit
fish set him free in 1878 and he went
back 10 his duties. (The complete
draft Of Lees plan. by which the col
onies might be overthrown. was found
IN 1857 among General Howe's pri-
vate papers)
Then came the battle Of Monmouth.
The English. under Clinton. in June.
1878, evacuated Philadelphia and re-
treated across New Jersey to the
British headquarters at New York.
Washington resolved to smash part
OF the British army at Monmouth. N.
j., on It's march. Lee begged him not
to make the attempt, but Washington
sent him with an advance guard of
5000 men to overtake the enemy.
Lee caught up with the British at
Monmouth on juno %. 1778, and be-
gan the battle in 80 strange and IN

Washington to hurry to the front.
Washington arrived in time to meet
Lee In full retreat He rebuked the
traitor. rallied the army and saved the
day.
No one could understand Lees odd
behavior, for no one then knew he
was false. In rage at the rebuke, be
wrote two insulting letters to Wash
ington, who promptly ordered him ar
rested. A court-martial suspended
him from active service for a year.
In rage. he retired TO a mountain hut,
where. for months, he lived like her

AS his year Of suspension drew to
an end, Lee wrote an abusive letter to
| congress-. and was at once dismissed
from the army. He went TO live ON an
estate he had bought In the Shenan-
doah Valley. In 1882 he visited Phila-
deiphia, where he fell i'll and died.

orders and that as a result. the Amer

Washington took in the situation at
a glance. The patriots were falling
back. The British were everywhere
successful. His blue eyes ablaze with
anger, the chief galloped across to
Lee.

Tides and Winds Cause the WhirI and

What OF the maelstrom that is be-
tween two of the Loffoden islands, of
the coast OF Norway? Where the water
sinks there must be a subterranean
passage or an outlet farther NORTH"
writes a correspondent.
In answer we reply that there is no
opening in the oceans floor. The
whirling motion is caused by tides and
winds. The water rushes in channels
between the islands, whose contigura-
ton aids in twisting The current runs
during six hours from north TO south
and then six hours from south to
north. This reversal and friction
against rocks set up the whirling mo-
ton. Suction through a hole in the
bottom Of the sea" does not exist.
Winds in from the ocean when in the
right direction increase the rotation of
the water which, in the center Of the
whirl, is about twenty fathoms in
soundings show depths of from 100 to
200 fathoms.
Many modern ships, in the absence
of winds. have traversed the troubled
wastes. but they keep away when the
wind is blowing against the change
able currents. especially at high tide,
when the danger is very great. Many
fables regarding the maelstrom have
been handed down from ancient times,
from medieval also. and moderns still
invent them. OF course ships have been
wrecked there as well as elsewhere
