Our duty is to render the best service we can, and when someone is ai1ing, we are interested in seeing them take the best medicine there is for their particular trouble. We don't recommend Hcure-alls," !" as we don't believe there are such things. We don t want you to spend more than you have to. Some of you get small wages, and when you re sick, none at all, and YOU Rhould gett mostyou can for yoar Roaey.
 We recently came across a new remedy for increasing strength and building up people who are rundown and emaciated. We know that slight trouble sometimes grows into serious one, and to stop it in the beginning, will save you money in the end This new compound is called RexaIl Olive Oil Emulsion. 1t Is the best remedy, when you are rundown, tired out, nervous no matter what the cause It doesn't merely stimulate you and make you fee good for few hours, but takes hold ot the weakness and builds you up to healthy, normal condition. It Is a real nerve-food tonic and builder of good blood, strong muscle, good digestion It contains Hypo- phosphites, which tone the nerves, and pure Olive Oil, which nourishes the nerves. the blood and the entire system Pleasant to take. Contains no alcohol or habit-form- ing drugs. We promise that if you are not perfectly satisfied with it, we'll give back your money as soon as you tell US Sold'I only at the 1000 Rexall Stores and in this \ hown only by us. $1.OO. ----- flinders Jacobsen, Stafford Springs.

FoLllEs OF SCIENCE.

9a1On PPos1enag That Have So Far
 eaHs3 Msn's Mighty Brain.
 The history of science has seven probes th8t men in all ages more or less have tried to solve. but which have Gnmlgy been given up by a2l.H To- day they are called fOKlies!
 The usual list comprises the follow ing: First. gquaring tine circle; second, duplication of the cube; third. trisec- ton of an angle: fourth. perpetual mo tion; fifth. transmutation of metSls; sixth. fHxation of mercury; seventh. elixir Of life. Some lists put the phi losOpber's stone for the last three and then add ;astroi0gy Rnd magic to make the seven. ..T.>
 To the unIearned it would seem pos- sfble to draw a square which shall be exactly equal in area to a given cirde, which is the first problem in the list, but we are told by the highest authar- tiles that 1t is impossible.
 Since the discovery. of radiRm it5is claimed that the change of one, natal into another has been ,accompli plishkd. but. 1t is yet too early to dogma tze about the matter. .-C Chicago Journal 4r

L.arn to Think on Your Ea.t.


 It does not matter whether one wants to be public speaker or not a person should have such icompIetec9 con- trol of himself, should be so self re- liant and self poised. that he can get up in any audience. noi matter how large or formidable. and express lis thoughts clearly and distinctly. In all ages oratory has been regarded as the highest expression of human achievement Young people. no mat ter what they intend to be. whether blacksmith or farmer. merchant Or physician, should make it a study. Nothing else will call out what is in a man more quickly and more effec- lively than the constant effort to do his hest in speaking before an audi ence. When one undertakes to think on one,s feet. and speak extempora- neously before the public the power and the skill Of the entire man are put to the severest test. Success Mag azine.

Politics In France.


 Americans generally know as little about tTenC%s politics as Frenchmen know al,omt ours Issues, methods and parties in tue tW0scountries are radically different. In France parties are isO many in number and so small in membership that they are usually designated as groups rather than as parties. Itiis always necessary to com abine the fOrces of three or more of, them t0. constitute, majority in the. chnmIlIer Of deputies, and that can be done only by giving each group rep resentat iOn in. the cabinet. The parlin- mentary system of France resembles that of. Great Britain in this: When the chamber gives vote adverse to the ministry. the ministry resigns. But that means only that a new alliance is formed that tIirIIdeS grohps other than those, represented in the retiring min iStry. As consequence it usually happens tIs,t some members of the de tfpatcd cabinet are ret;lined in the cab Il.t that S,uret'tls it.-YOnth's Com I,aniOn
