RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Greek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other cause"
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Or
derlies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the sys-
tenn into the lazy. dry. evacuatine
bowel called the colon. The water
loosens the dry food waste and
causes a gentle, thorough, natural
movement without forming q habit
or ever increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.
Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night.
Next day bright. Get "a for Csc to-
day at the nearest Rexall or Liggett

Not that ii is absolutely necessary 10

So Eugene Golf thought as he start
cd out at the Washington Golf and
Country Club Yesterday with the Hood
brothers. Louis and Randolph, and Eu-
gene Hendley Golf thought everything
was settled when he left the first tee,
including the usual small side bet Of
dollar Nassau and caddie fees. and when
he won the first hole and halved the
second he was In truth sitting pretty.
All this time he thought Louis Hood
was his partner The game went
merrily on through the fourth hole and
at the fifth tee Golf made a casual in
quiry as to how the match stood
You're 2 down" Hendley said.
Golf thought that was rather funny.
but didn't say anything. and he went
along COMMUNICATING his partner Louis
on some of his shots The blow fell at
the seventh hole. which Louis Hood
won with a par 4 Out of a clear skv
came the news to Golf that ne and his
PARTNER had lost the first nine by and
g. So he had the temeritv to ask lust
who his partner was And he found
out that where he had been congratu-
lating Louis Hood on his shots Ran
dolph Hood was his partner The re-
suit Is just too pathetic to relate.
Completely broken up by the sudden
switch In partners. Golf was thrown
off his game and lost all three ways.
And now he insists on knowing Just
who his partner is before he leaves the
first tee. Furthermore. he AYERS that
golf has no place for cheering sec
ton and that the ancient game is
better played as the Scots play it
in silence.
