Give That Puny Child This Guaranteed
Remedy.

If your child is under-1 eight, listless,
ailing, liable to get sick easily, it needs
a medicine to build its weight and
strength. For this purpose there is
nothing else wel.know of that we can
50 strongly endorse as RexaIl 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
ia t, 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
parents object to giving their children.
1t does its good work by taking hold of
the weakness and builds the body up to
its 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 get your money back. We don't
want you to lose a cent. We think
this is no more than fair, and it leaves
you no cause to hesitate. For old
people also-ior convalescents-for all
who are nervous, 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
Rexall Stores, and in this town only by
US. $l0O. Edw. T. Lomas, Cresco. Ia.

apIaintmen1 through the Eve

knew that many of his friends had
beeii active in attempting to secure
his appointment, he said, he had not
sought the office, and his appointment
by Governor Fielder came as unex-
pected news to him.
In the various phases of politics,
factional and otherwise, Mr.. Terlinde
has been a great sticlkler against
movements having for their purpose
the placing of independent candidates
in the field against Democrats nom
mated at the primaries.
In this respect he has followed the
policy and expressed wishes Of both
President Wilson and Governor F'iel-
der.
Fight If you must fight, before the
primaries, and win at the primaries If
you can win,' has been the Terlinde
motto, "but, come what may, support
the Democratic candidates who sue
coed at the primaries for whatever
office that may be Involved
Only yesterday Mr.. Terlinde not

the Wilson League had indorsed

mayor. but declared that the Wilson
League would never indorse a Re-

COTTON SENATORS
: LOOKsFOR RELIEF
IN WAR TAX BILL
Viii Push Amendment TO Pro-
vide for U. S. Loan to
Growers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-When
consideration of the war revenue bill
was continued In the Senate today
Southern Democratic senators were
ready TO submit an amendment to the
measure designed to relieve the
threatening conditions confronting
cotton growers OF the South as re-
suit of the European war. The out
line of the amendment was agreed
upon at conference of Southern
senators last night at which num-
Der Of proposals looking to legisla-
tive aid for the cotton situation were
discussed.
The amendment as outlined at the
conference would provide for an is
sue of three-y year per cent. hpnds by
the government TO create loan fund
for cotton growers. Cotton taken as
security would be held until 1916. A
tax of / per cent. a pound would he
levied on the 1916 crop, the proceeds
of the tax to be used in retiring bonds
then outstanding.
Efforts of Southern members of
Congress to force the adoption OF the
proposed amendment may delay ad-
journment Of Congress. Southern
senators do not intend to fllibuster
on the war tax bill. but II was
thought that they will be satisfied
with vote on the proposal
