GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
THAT GUARANTEED REMEDY

If your child is under weight, listless,
ailing, liable to get sick easily, it needs
medicine to build it weight and
strength. For this purpose there is
nothing else we know of that we can
SO strongly endorse as Rexall Olive Oil
Emulsion. The remarkable success of
this splendid medicine is due to the
fact that it contains ingredients that
tone the nerves, enrich the blood and
furnish to the entire system the
strength, weight and health building
substances it needs. And, it does all
this without injuring the stomach In
fact. Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is not
only pleasant to take, but even the
most sensitive stomach is benefited by
it, and the digestion improved On the
other hand, it contains no alcohol or
habit forming drugs, which most par
ents object to giving their children. 1t
does its good work by taking hold of
the weakness and builds the body up
to it's natural strength, at the same
time making it strong to resist disease.
If Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted
puny muscles, and make the little one
lively. strong, well and full of the
animal spirits children are meant by
nature to have, come back and tell us
and money back. We don't want you to
lose cent. We think this is no more
than fair, and it leaves you no cause to
hesitate. For old people also-for con,
valescents--fo all who are nervoMs,
tired out run down, no matter what
the cause we offer ReXall Olive Oil
Emulsion with the same guarantee of
entire satisfaction or money back.
Sold only at the 1000 h Kali Stores,
and in this town only by us. $l00-

WOMEN OF JAPAN.
The Old Time Three Obediences" No
Longer Dominate Her.

Longer dominate F1er.
From the beginning of Japanese his
tory to the introduction of Chinese
civilization women occupied Il very
high place in Japan and filled positions
of importance and honor in state, re-
ligion and household Several en-
presses at different times ruled the EN-
pire. The greatest lights in the world
of pure Japanese literature are both
-Murasaki Shikibu and Sci
Shonagon Their superb productions.
CENT Monogatari' and "Makurano
Soshi,' are strong proofs of Il large
measure of liberty and of high posi-
ton in society enjoyed by women of
the time1 1t was chiefly the Confu-
clan doctf'ine of the three obediences:
Obedience, while yet unmarried. to L
father; obedience, while married, to n
husband; obedience, while widowed. to
Il son, that changed the primitive state
OF comparative freedom and independ-
ence of woman. Buddhism and feudal-
ism contributed also to place women
in an inferior position ana state of de
pendence,
Many Americans assume that women
still occupy an inferior position in la.
pan under the law. But this is not
true. During the EAST fifty years fe-
male education has spread throughout
the country Western Jurisprudence
has superseded Chinese and great
revolution has come over the social
and legal nOSitiOn of woman The
new civil code of Japan created a new
legal woman 1t proceeds upon the
principle of equality of the sexes and
makes no distinction between men
and women in their enjoyment and en-
ercise of private rights SO long as the
woman remains single. She may now
become the head of the house She
may exercise parental authority over
her child. IL her husband be dead she
may adopt children. she may make
contracts, acquire or dispose of prop
crty in her own name. In short. she
may be a party to any legal transac-
tion so long as she remains unmarried.
When she is married her state of COW
erture obligeS her to obtain the per
mission of her husband before doing
certain acts, such as contracting debts.
instituting legal proceedings. entering
into contracts of personal service. etc.
But even though she does these acts
without her husbands permission. they
are not void but only voidable.-
