RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says Constipation is responsible for mere misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation chew a Rexall Orderlie at night Next day bright. Get 24 for 25 cents today at the nearest Rexall Drug Store. Willis B. Carroll.

Proof That Forests
Have Hygienic Value

We hear much of the Importance of
the conservation of forests from an
economic standpoint, but little is said
of the hygienic value of forests.
Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force OF stead
lily blowing winds. They mitigate the
heat of summer by the vast amount
of evaporation from their leaves that
occurs by day. They also promote
rainfalls Thus they check the ten
dency of the earth to desiccate, which
Is almost as injurious to health as 1t
Is to vegetation.
Cholera often passes wooded dis
trict and revels in treeless one. A
certain road in India leads for gu
miles through a dense forest. Far
Their on it runs for 80 miles through a
barren plain. Hundreds Of persons
travel the entire road daily. Now, In
the first or wooded section cases OF
cholera seldom occur, while within
the latter 1t has been of frequent oc-
currence. One year cholera ragged In
Allahabad. Soldiers whose barracks
were on hill suffered the most from
the epidemic; those in barracks sur
rounded by four rows of trees much
less; but not a single case was re-
ported among the soldiers whose bar
racks were in a thicket. 1t was the
same the next year.

Various Ideas as to
Spots on Moons Face

There exist in various parts Of the
world curious ideas regarding the
dark spots In the moons disk. In the
eastern part of Asia the spots are
believed to be rabbit or hare.
The Chinese. in particular, regard
them as hare sitting up and pound
ing rice In a mortar. Siamese take
the same view. Others see in the
moon man and woman working In
a field.
Curiously, the North American In
dams have almost the same super
stition as the Chinese On old monu-
ments in Central America the moon
appears as a jug or vessel. out OF
which an animal like rabbit is jump
ing. South American Indians, on the
other hand, believe that a girl. who
had fallen in love with the moon
sprang toward it, was caught and
kept by it, and that it is her figure
which Is seen on the moons face.
Samoa islanders regard the spots as
representing woman carrying 9
child. Other Southern peoples have
similar beliefs, the woman and child
sometimes being altered into an ole
woman bearing a burden on hel
back.

Of King Arthur and his knights with

into places for the king and "a of his

seats, and the total number of knights
of King Arthur was 40.

Watermelon From Africa

The traditional appetite of the col

the fact that he acquired his fondness
for the watermelon in the land of his
origin. Africa. where they are found
today growing wild. That water
melons were grown by the ancient
Egyptians Is proved by numerous
paintings as well as carvings on mon
uments. The fruit was probably mi
troduced into England some time IN
the Sixteenth century.
According to Master Graves, II

only nine years after the landing Oh

time in adding the watermelon I'd

nine years later Father Marquette
found the Western tribes growing waS
