The Reason Fewer
PEOPLE Take "Salts''

We find the use of salts and other harsh
physics is becoming less every year be-
cause more and more people are using
Rexall Orderlies, which we and they firmly
believe to be the best bowel remedy even
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 pam,
They promptly remove the constipation
and, by soothing and strengthening 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, beneficial results that always
follow their use. -.
You needn't take our word for It.. II
RpXall Orderlies don't help you'll they
don't entirely relieve all your bowel
troubles-come back and tell us and we'll
give back your money. In vest pocket tin
boxes; 10c, Csc, SOC.
You can buy Rexall Orderlies only at the
Rexall Stores, and in this town only OF us.

remedy that has helped so many of
your friends and neighbors. Follow
this Abbeville citizens advice and

FLED FROM ENRAGED WOMAN
Bear Proved More Than Match for
Husband, but Ran When AT
tackled by Victims Wife.

A. B. McCloskey, a farmer near
iyner, was attacked by a she bear
in his barnyard and so seriously
wounded that it is feared he may die.
The bear came into the yard in search
Of food. McClOskey shot at the ami
NAL with small caliber target gun
and wounded it. The bear threw him
to the ground and badly mangled his
left arm and leg. The animal was
driven off by Mrs. McCloskey, who
beat it with a club. A party Of farm
~ers started in pursuit of the animal
over the mountains later in the day.
The experience Of McCloskey is
unique in this section of the state and
caused great excitement in the vicin-
ity of Hayner where the party of farm
ers quickly gathered and started out
in pursuit of the bear, under the lead
ership of B. B. McCloskey, the Penn
sylvania railroad station agent at
Hyner, who is the wounded mans
brother. They hunted over the noun
tains near McCloskey's home during
the greater part of the day, but were
unable to find any trace of the ami
NAL The same bear is believed tC
have carried off live calf from a
neighboring farm several days ago.

Commas and the Law.

The comma in the British act of
parliament which has caused a dispute
between Monmouthshire miners and
their employers recalls the fact that
such marks of punctuation were in
troduced into law only half century
ago. Down to 1850 all acts of parlia-
ment consisted, in theory at all events,
of one sentence. In that year a spe-
cial statute was passed to allow the
text of legislative enactment to be
punctuated and pointed by full-stops.

Ancient Calf.

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms of expression. A parson had a
habit Of frequently saying for years
and years and years." in the course
of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodigal Son, and spoke of him
sitting down in that far-off land think
ing of the home that he had not seen
for years and years and years"
This was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and of the calf which his father had
kept in anticipation of that happy day
Yes said he, dropping into his ia
vorite cadence for the winding up of a
sentence: Yes, the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years.

Camp of Instruction Is Changed.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Laurence w.
Young recently received a telegram
from the commanding general of the
Eastern department stating that the
joint camps of instruction at Augusta,
Ca, will not be held as was announc-
ed earlier in the week. The plans Of
the war department have been chang
ed, and the joint camps Of instruction
will be held in North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida, the four
states comprising the ninth division.
Regular army troops will be sent
to each of the camps. The joint camp
for North Carolina will be held at
Camp Glenn at Morehead City, begin
ming in July. All of the troops in
the state will be sent there for a pc
Rod of ten days, several companies
comprising the divisions that will be
there at various times.
| The change with reference to the
joint maneuver camps will necessitate
change in the dates for the camps
of the other regiments as heretofore
announced, but the dates will be given
as soon as possible
The second Regiment, Trops A and
B of the cavalry, Field Hospital No. /
and Ambulance Company No. 1 will
probably attend the camp at some
time during the summer.
