dead apple tree I'd tell him to 90 to,

The widow was speechless with sur

The public press as a home for the

river. six miles west of Eel Rono-it
IS called the Masonic home.
There may be found 1870 boys and

Along the banks of the Canadian

distance, by a deep cluster OF trees

The buildings and improvements,
all of which are modern, represent
an investment Of more than a quar-

no opinion.
She had been to the p%ostoffice, half
q mile away, one afternoon, when a
sudden thunder storm came up. She
thought she could beat It, but was
forced to take refuge In the porch
OF a church. The thunder was rolling,
the lightning flashing and the rain

that he could love he discovered that
someone else was loving her and had

No measurements had been taken,
but the dividing line had been guessed

found a dead apple tree in his path
he cut it down.
Three hours later he wes sued for

THE REASON FEWER
PEOPLE TAKE SALTS

We find the use of salts and other
harsh physics is becoming less every
year because more and more people
are using Rexall Orderlies, which we
and they firmly believe to be the best
bowel remedy ever made. They taste
so much like candy that even the
children like them. At the same time
they act so easily and naturally that
there is no purging, gripping or pain.
They promptly remove the constipa-
tion and, by soothing and strength
ening the bowels. make it less liable
to occur again. We have the utmost
faith in them. We know what they
are made of and the pleasant, bene-
ficial results that always follow their
use.
You needn't take our word for 1t.
If ReXall Orderlies don't help you
If they don't entirely relieve all your
! bowel troubles-come back and tell
us and we'll give back your money.

Members OF ROlla Football Team
Threatened With Vagrancy Law.

the football team of the Rol1a School
of Mines, who were suspended from
the University of Missouri for partic-
ipation in the game for the Missouri
championship with Christian Broth
ers college at st. Louis two weeks
ago.
This statement was made by Walter
Brandenburger, guard on the Rolla
team, who returned to his home here
Sunday night in compliance with the
order. The suspended men, Brandon
burger said, were given ten days to
find employment at Rolla or leave the
city. The superstition was, he said.
that failure to take one of these alter
natives would result in prosecution on
charges Of "vagrancy."
Brandenburger, however, would not
say whether the warning came from
the faculty, citizens or police.
I'VE were so involved in the matter
when the school authorities threat
ened us with suspension that we could
not very well back down. Branden-
burger said.

X. n. G. A DISGRACE?
Professor OF state Normal Takes Shot
at state Militia.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE Ma
tional Guard of Kansas is DISGRACE,
and to maintain it under present con.
ditions is a shameful waste of money.
says Prof Clair Turner, head OF the
department of physical education at
the Emporia State Normal school, IN
the December issue of Teaching,
published by the Normal school:
Mr. Turner was formerly lieuten-
ant in the National Guard. and be-
lieves in making it efficient. Under
the present system" he says, mo ade-
quate provision is made either for
equipment or training. The men have
not shoes which would stand ten
mile march. They have no training in
digging or in defending themselves.
They would be shot down in droves, in
case of war. This is not the fault of
the officers or the men," says Mr..
Turner. ut is the fault of an ineffi-
cient system of organization"
The last issue of Teaching" is de-
voted to the topic, 1.-THE Teaching
of Nationalism." 1t contains art cles
from various points of view on IA
tionalism in the schools, civics and
patriotism. the Christianity of war,
and related topics.
