POLLS OPEN TOMORROW HALLOWEEN PkST|NES
Streets CT Alexandria Alive With Mas
queraders Last Saturday
Night.

Halloween was observed IN AleXan-
dria last Saturday night Oh larger
scale than usual. Early in the night
hundreds CT masqueraders began to
sppear. and King street presented
carnival scenes. Young and Old were
out. and the merrymakers enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content.
Meteorological conditions were IDEAL
the neon shining brightly, while the
temperature was mild and all that
could be desired.
There was but little Of the mischle-
vous in the air, and youngsters IN
the main, refrained from bombardmG
doors or indulging in other annoy
ances. The old time senseless pro-
cedures on Halloween night seemed
to have given way fer more sane
acts, and the masqueraders moved
to and fro enjoying themselves and
affording amusement for those not
participants in the sports.
Notwithstanding the traditions, no
genuine spooks appeared, nor were
females seen sweeping through the
heavens on brooms. Ghosts are said
to prefer moonlight nights on which
to make themselves seen, but if they
were out they were as ''The Invisible
Prince" of the fairy stories.
The fun was not confined to Satur-
day night, but public and private
gatherings will be in evidence again
tonight.

We Have Faith in
This Stomach Remedy

A woman customer said to
us the other day, Say, you
ought to tell everyone in town
about Rexail Dyspepsia Table s.
l would myself if | could. "
That set us to thinking. So
many people have used them
and have SO enthusiastically
sounded their praises both to
US and their friends, that we
had an idea you knew all about
them. But, in the chance that
some of you who suffer from
indigestion, heartburn, dyspep-
STA, or some other stomach
complaint, don't know about
them-we are writing this.
They contain Bismuth and
Pepsin, two Of the greatest d.
gestive aids known to medical
science. They soothe and com.
fort the stomach, promote the
secretion of gastric juice, help
to quickly digest the food and
and convert it into rich, red
blood, and improve the action
of the bowels. We believe
them to be the best remedy
made for indigestion and dys-
pepsia. We certainly wouldn't
offer them to you entirely at
our risk unless we felt sure
they would do you a lot Of
good.
If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do
not relieve your indigestion.
check the heartburn, and make
it possible for you to eat what
you like whenever you like,
come back and get your money.
Sold only at the more than
1000 Rexall Stores, and in this
town only at our store. Three
sizes, Csc, Soc, and $100

are both now working on a farm
was indicted on the white slave
charge. Immediately after the
indictment was returned Hen
ninger entered a plea of guilty
and sentence will be pronounced
this forenoon.
"EL0PED WITH GIRL
The case is not a serious one.
Henninger's wife had left him,
and before he took the precau-
ton to secure a divorce he
"eloped" with the Adams girl.
Before the grand jury both he
and the girl freely discussed the
case, evidently holding back no
information from the govern
ment, and it seemed to be their
firmly fixed opinion that they
had not violated anv law 1t is
probable that Hennipger will
