tho bowels and liver and makes con-
slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to
overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do SO If you get a 25c box of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets and
take one each night for e week or So

merely cause pleasant easy bowel ac-
ton This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs
promotes good digestion, causes the

the food you eat, gives you a good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver.
overc0mes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.
tablet will keep your body in condi-
ton and you can always feel your best.
Try Natures Remedy (NR Tablets)

Mr.. Taylor, with Harvey Fox, en-
listed with the Blair company Of the

Cody, N. M. where Mr.. Taylor was
transferred to the 10th Field Artil.
He went over seas with this unit
and went into the fighting just beyond
Chateau Thierry and was fighting
with his battery, when a high explo-
sive shell dropped beside him and
when it exploded it took out part Of
the skull on the side Of his head. He
said it felt just as though they had
backed box car into his head, but
at that he did not lose consciousness
and remembers everything that was
done until they had him on the oper-
ating table.
He was wounded on Aug. 10 and was
soon sent to this country where he
has been receiving treatment at the
hospital at Cape May, N. ]. He has
just been discharged from the army
apparently none the worse for his ex.
perience.

Mr. Egan extends an Invitation
i. r Egan is announcing his pur-
iIchase Of the M. Ranger stores in this
city, by putting on big sale the first
thing. Mr.. Egan wants all of his old
friends to call and see him in his new
location. A call is not an obligation
to buy, but Mr.. Egan wants all of his
old friends. to call anyway.
| Mr.. Egan is the personification Of
/ the old saying that Honesty is the
Best Policy" Some few years ago he
! started in business in Modale, in a
small way and, by persistent effort
and square dealing, built up bust
ness Of large proportions. Realizing
THAT his territory was limited there,
The sold out and came to Missouri
/ Valley where, for several years he
conducted one Of the leading grocery
and dry goods stores of the city. His
health not being Of the best, he dis
posed of this store to Mr.. Ranger and
devoted all Of his time to the land
business. This out door work was the
very thing he needed and he was soon
feeling fine again and the call Of
tie store was too strong to be re-
sisted.
! Some little time ago negotiations
were begun, between Mr.. Egan and
Mr.. Fanger for the purchase of Mr..
rangers interests in this city and
just before Christmas the entire deal
was consummated. involving, probab-
~, the largest mercantile transaction
ever pulled off in this city.
Through this purchase Mr.. Egan
becomes sole owner Of the entire
Fanger Department store, one Of the
largest in the county, carrying class
of goods second to none anywhere,
and in addition, also comes into poss-
ession of his former grocery store,
to which has been added the stock of
two other grocery stores purchased
by Mr.. Fanger. This combination
gives Mr.. Egan a stock Of merchan-
disc worthy of a town much larger
than Missouri Valley. If you can't
find what you want at Egan's Depart
ment store, you are indeed hard to
please.

Duty.

II has been asked what is at the
present day the Duty of which we
have spoken so much? A complete re-
ply would require volume, but may
suggest 1t in a few words. Duty con-
sists of that love of God and man
which renders the life of the individ-
ual the representation and expression
Of all that he believes to be the truth,
absolute or relative. Duty is progress
sive, as the evolution of truth: 1t Is
modified and enlarged with the ages !;
1t changes It's manifestations accord
ing to the requirement Of times and
circumstances. :. One period claims
the pen Of the sage. another requires
the sword Of the hero. But here, and
everywhere. the source of this is God
and his law-its object, humanity
its guarantee, the mutual responsible
ity of men-its measure, the intellect
Of the individual and the demands of
the period-its limits, power.-Maz-
gini.
