Less Dyspepsia Now
Here's The Reason

The fact that there is less dyspep-
STA and Indigestion in this COMMUNE
ty than there used to be is largely,
we believe, due to the extensive use
Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hun
dreds of packa ges Of which we have
sold. No wonder we have faith in
them. No wonder we are willing to
offer them to you for trial entirely
at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medical science. They soothe the
infiamed stomach, allay pain, check
heartburn and distress, help to di-
gest the food, and tend to quickly
restore the stomach to it's natural,
comfortable, healthy state.

Observations made throughout
number of years by officers of the
Emitted States revenue maine prove
that the polar bears limit Of range
is st. Matthew island in Boring sea.
A few of these bears We're at one time
seen near the seal islands, being adr1ft
upon a huge ice foe. On st. Matthew
island the bears have lairs and dens
among the rock glens that abound
upon the island. They feed almost
entirely upon seals, walruses and dead
drift whales, and. though disdaining
to devour the blubber, the flesh Is
greedily. consumed. A carcass upon
which bear. has, passed his CASTRO
-nonlic Judgment reveals the skin and
its fatty lining torn asunder. the flesh
being cut into strips and shreds by the
powerful claws and teeth. A single
blow of a bears paw upon a sears
head suffices to kill it, and, dragged
out upon the ice, meal is soon dis
patched.
In summer the hairy coat OF the
polar bear turns to dingy yellow
and its peit then becomes of no value
They have not near the courage OF
the interior bears and will rarely at
tack a person unless there are two or
three in company. AS soon as they
scent man approaching they, as
rule. will shamble off as fast as they
can. and there are but few records OF
a bear killing any Of the natives along
the northern coast.
The Eskimos are very partial to tht
meat Of the white bear, but the blub
Der they reject, and even the dogs, I'm
less they are very hungry, turn vi
their noses at the oily mass. Tel
years ago it was hard matter to Sc
cure the entire skin of polar bear

head and claws and either threw then
into the sea or buried them in thu

SHORT ON MEMORY.
Ampere's Great Mind Had No Room
For Merely Royal Affairs.

Ampere's Great Mind HAD NO hoom
For Merely Royal Affairs.
Ampere, the famous mathematician
and physicist, was one of the most alb
sent minded men that ever lived, as
the following story from the Taegliche
Rundschau goes far to prove:
In September, 1906, Ampere read a
learned paper on his researches before
the Academy of Sciences in Paris.
When he had finished his lecture and
was about to take his seat he found. t.
Ills surprise. that it was occupied
Greatly agitated. he went to Godfrey
Saint Hilaire. the president of the
academy, and said, Mr. President, |
must call your attention to the fact
that some one who is not member Of
this body has entered the chamber and
taken my seat"
The president replied calmly, you
are mistaken, my learned brother; the
person whom you have in mind is, like
ourselves, fellow of the Academy of
Sciences"
How long. l should like to ask?''
said Ampere.
''Since Nivose of the year W." said
the president, who was now entering
into the humor Of the situation.
"And in what class"' inquired the
suspicious Ampere.
I'm the class Of mechanical engineer
ing, my friend" answered Saint
Hilaire, laughing.
well, that is oddt' cried Ampere
and, Selling calendar of the academy

mentioned and read: NAPOLEON Bona

and Well.

and Well.
Mrs. w. W. Lake of Aberdeen,
Miss, says: "The grippe had left me
in weak, rundown condition from
which I suffered for some time. 1
tried different remedies but nothing
seemed to do me any good until 1
took Vinol, from which I received
great benefit. My cough is alrost
entirely gone and I am strong and
we'll again, and I am glad to recon-
mend V1nol to others who suffer as I
did,
Mrs. Lakes recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers
combined with the blood making
and strength creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained In
Vino1, and her cough disappeared as
a natural result.
We guarantee that Vinol will do all
we claim and will pay back your
money if Vinol does not satisfy you.

His Unwelcome Call Brought About .
Dramatic Situation.
The London representative OF an
East Indian firm was working late at
the warehouse. A large consignment
of goods, newly arrived, lay in the
room that adjoined his office. The
room was a simple affair OF four chart
covered walls. There was desk in
the middle, few chairs. and large
fireproof safe. It was nearly midnight,
when a sound from the next room in
duced the man to go to the door to in
vestigate Nothing seemed wrong ana
he returned to his work, but left the
door ajar.
Presently a faint. harsh sound came
from the next room. He sprang up to
behold the head Of snake protrud1ng
through the doorway.
When the reptile saw him it stopped
for a second, reared its head until It
was almost on a level with the mans
and began to dart its tongue angrily
in and out of its mouth.
No novelist ever imagined q more
desperate situation. The man was un-
| armed and apparently without means
| Of escape. The moment he withdrew
his eyes from those Of the snake, It
| lowered it's head and moved toward
him.
But he had already determined on
his course. The great safe stood open
He sprang into it and closed the door
behind him. although he did not shut
it completely. That would have meant

slipped a small cashbook into the aper-
ture and held the ponderous door open
about half an inch.
| Meanwhile the python-for such 1t
was-in a paroxysm of fury. had flung
its coils twice round the safe, which
stood some distance out from the wall.
The creature drew its coils to the ut
most tension in an angry effort to
crush the iron safe.
By an effort the desperate prisoner
collected his wits. He remembered

The captive racked his brain sorely
until an idea struck him. Earlier in the
evening he had put one of the ledgers
in the safe with a long, black eraser
inside to mark special entry
Cramped and almost doubled as be
was, he found it no easy matter te
reach the slender weapon. the blade OF
which was as sharp as razor TAX
ing his courage in both hands he
plunged the knife again and again into
the folds of tho snake, where they
crossed the small aperture. There fol
lowed a horrible, tearing sound. ant
the massive safe rocked ominously fol
some moments. Then suddenly the
folds seemed to relax and go writing
to the floor.
Owing to the extreme tension Of thu
coils the keen blade had almost sew
cred the body in half. From head t.
tail it measured nearly forty feet

That pitched baseball curves in the

If the twist given by the pitcher is up

to the right, and SO on-is matter Of
experience that is quite comprehensi-
BILE, but how hard pitched ball should
jump s1dewise in most irregular
manner, although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling
In the Journal Of the Franklin Insti-
tute Professor W. S. Franklin Of Lee
high university expounds the phenome-
non as we'll as the philosophy of twist
ed balls. Multitudes of fans who
have always supposed that the battling
qualities of straight pitched ball
We're due simply to its swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case in this way:
Consider very smooth ball which is
moving through still water without
spinning. There is certainly no more
reason why the bail should jump to
the right than to the left. Therefore It
must continue to move straight for
ward. That is good logic. But such q
ball is no more subject to logic than is
sharp stick. The fact is that the ball
does jump sidewise and in most ir-
regular manner This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble in a Jar
of still water. The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly a
smooth baseball jumps sidewise irreg-
ularly as it moves through the air ii
the ball is not spinning
The explanation lies in the fact that
a rapidly moving stream of air splits
when it flows past a ball with unstable
dividing lines Or vortex Sheets The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward
now downward. The condition is the
same when the ball splits the air and
is shunted in glancing manner past

battling effect is power in the pitchers
