An Important Meeting.

So far as interna tional sport is
concerned. this brooding polo conflict
is vastly important from an Ameri-
can standpoint. If England wins this
time, the best that America can do
for 1914 will be to tie the seasons

matches and the Yachting furry. And

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 Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. 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 all knew about them But, in the chance that some of you who suffer from indigestion, heartburn, dyspep- sia, or some other stomach complaint, don t know about thenl-we are writing this.
 They contain Bismuth and Pepsin, two of the greatest digestive aids known to medical science. They soothe and comfort the stomach, promote the secretion of gas- tric juice, help to quickly digest the food and convert it into rich, red blood, and improve the action of the bowels. We be- Geve them to be the best remedy made for indigestion and dyspepsia. We certainly wouldn't offer them to you entirely at our risk unless we felt sure they would do you 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 2 900 Rexan Stores, and in this town only at our store. l Three sizes, 25c, 5Oc, and $1.00. .s flinders Jacobsen, Stafford Springs.

This is just as strong as we can make this guarantee, and we want to make it strong, because we be- Eeve that Rexa1 Orderlies are the best bowel remedy made
 Soothing and easy in action, they cleanse the bowels, thoroughly toning and strength ening them, and make you feel great. They promote easy and regular bowel action, help to promptly relieve constipation and overcome its cause. In these things they differ from old-fashioned, harsh, disagree able salts and other physics which usually give only temporary relief and often leave the bowels in worse condition than ever. They taste like candy and even children Ike them. They are particularly good for children and for delicate and aged people. In vest pocket tin boxes; 10c, 25c, Soc.

How TO Read the Moon.

Few people can tell at a glance
whether the moon is waxing or wan
ing. Here is a whimsical rule to re-
member by. 1t is very simple to those
who know Latin and is not difficult
for those who do not. The first thing
is to notice whether the moon is like
D or Chat is, whether the full
semicircular curve is on the right or
the left. If the moon shows D that
naturally stands for decrescit. ut
wanes.'
But then comes in the great principle
THE moon is always deceitful," and
one has to understand the opposite of
what the moon says. so that moon
which shows D is waxing moon.
while waning moon is like a @.
Those who have no Latin will no
doubt look to see whittier the moon
says 1t is decreasing" in which case
they will understand, that it is waxing,
while @ waning moon will deny that
it is decreasing. New York Sun.

Cost Of First Glass Travelling.

While on the Pacific ocean met a
life insurance man who told me that
he travelled constantly and that his
expenses, afioat and ashore, averaged
$11 day. He kept no expense ac-
count, he said. At the end Of the year
he charged the company $11 a day for
expenses. and that was almost exactly
what he spent I made calculation
and found that the present trip has
cost us S11 day each, almost to a
penny.
IL you want to know what travelling
costs. here is an estimate you may de-
pend upon. This means rapid travel
ing, by railroad and steamship, and
sightseeing in the towns with the as
sistance OF a guide The estimate In
,cludes the purchases traveller is com

An Old Time Norman.

An amusing and detailed account Of q
norman seen in the Atlantic, written
apparently in good faith, ends with the
following description Of the monster,
which may possibly have been seal
or sea ION. THAT monster Is about
eight feet l6ag, his skin is brown and
tswny. without any scales, all his mo-
tions are like those OF men. the eyes
are a proportionable size, little
mouth, large and fat nose, very
white teeth. black hair and chin COW
cred with messy beard, sort of
whiskers under the nose, the ears like
those of men, fins between the fingers
of his hands and feet like those of
ducks. In word he is well shaped
man. Which is certified to be true
by Captain Oliver NORM and John
Martin, pilot, and by the whole crew,
consisting of two-and thirty men," Gan
article from Brest in the Memoirs of
Trevoux." The monster was mention
ed In the Gazette of Amsterdam Oct.
II, 1725, where, it is said, it was seen
in the ocean in August of the same
year.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

BROOTEN
From the Review,

Mr.. Itkins, representing the Luse
Electric Short Line, of Minneapolis,
was IN Brooten Wednesday afternoon
and evening and called on some of the
business men of this place. In the
evening the Commercial Club called a
meeting together and Mr.. Itkins went
through about Is yards of the whole
Luse history. He Was sent out to see
what kind of a proposition Brooten
would give them providing their line
would come to Brooten. Mr.. Itkins
could not see anything here that would
benefit their line enough to come here
without our giving them great big
bonus and give it at once, without our
knowing when and where this road
was going to come in or go out. We
would all like to be railroad men well
enough but did not feel like giving en-
enlargement or help until we could
hear the rumble of the Luce Electric
cars. A number of the good scouts of
Brooten do not believe that the time
will come when Sunburg or Brooten
will see the Luse line. The business
men of Brooten are not hard to deal
with but they must see the goods be-
fore they bite.

COLD SPRINGS
From the Record.

Jos. Doubeck last week sold his
farm, consisting of 295 acres, two
miles north of Cold Spring to Frank
Froelich, an Iowa man. The deal was
one of the biggest ones in this part of
the country for some time, and the
price given in the transaction is $780,
CAT. The farm is a choice piece of
property with fine set of buildings.
Mr.. Doubeck bought the farm three
years ago with stock machinery and
all for $13,500 and has his stock still
left. This is only one instance which
goes to show that Stearns county soil
is worth money and is not only safe,
but is bound to be a good investment.
Possession will be given next fall.
