The Reason Fewer
People Take @Salts )"

We find the use of salts and
other harsh physics is becom-
ing 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 con;
stipatiou and. by soothing and
strengthening the bowels, make
it less liable to occur again.
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. If Rexall Orderlies don't
help you-if they don't entirely
relieve all your bowel troubles.

Letters And Parcel Post

Do not get mixed on attach
ing letters to your parcel post.
A new postoffice department
ruling permits you to attach a
letter to your package IN the
mails. But it (the letter. must
show postage independent of
the parcel post package) which
it would require if it was not
attached to the package.
Be careful not to understand
that you are allowed to put a
letter devoid of postage in your
package. If you do, you force
first-class postage (the letter
rate) on the parcel post package.
Further. you violate the pos
tai laws and subject yourself to
punishment in the courts,
If you want a letter delivered
at the same time the parcel is
delivered, you may attach the
letter securely to the package.
But it is most important that
the letter and the, package, each
Independently of the other,
carry attached thereto the same
postage as if the letter and pack
age were mailed separately.

Editor Coldr Chronicle:
Hon. j. B. Aswell met with
the Farmers Union at Oak Grove
church on July Is, and delivered
one of the most excellent talks
to our farmers. After listening
to this truly great man modestly
tell of the good things he has
assisted in doing in Congress for
the farmers and working men,
and after general hand shaking
with all of the boys, he left for
other points.
The Doctor is conducting his
campaign on high plane, and
in his short talk was noticeably
free from any vilification of his
opponent. He says if he can not
win the office on his own merits
that he does not want to ride in
to place on the short comings OF
his opponent. And, if | don't
miss my guess. the boys at old
Bruce's precinct will save the
commissioners the trouble OF
counting out his opponent, as
this time he will be voted out.
