I3T AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD. :v..V.'!.slov's Soothixo Syrcp lias been a I ir over SIXTY YEARS bv MILLIONS ot At the celebration of May-prames it was the constant custom to elect the most popular lad and the pret tiest lass as King and Queen of May. They represented the sun and the flowers and took no part in the sports, but sat all day in a bower, looking on and smiling benignly at their subjects. Sometimes they were ca'led Lord and Lady of May. In the fourth year of Queen Mary "there was in Fenchurch Street a goodly May-game, and with the nine worthies who rode and each of them made his speech there was aso a morrice-dance, and an ele phant and castle, and the Lord and Lady of May appearing to make up the show." In one of Beaumont and Fletcher's comedies an appren tice appears upon the stage and de claims, "With gilded staff and crossed scarf, the May Lord here I s'and." Gradually the Lord of Mav came to impersonate Robin Hood and the Queen; Maid Marian. In an old church-ward en's account for the parish of Saint Helen's, in Abing' don, we read. "Payde for the set ting up of Robin Hode's bower eighteen pence." One May morning Catherine of Arragon and her ladies were fright ened by the sudden entrance into the queen's chamber of thirteen dis guised men in green short coats, hoods and "hosen of the same," each bearing his "big bow with arrows, and a sword, and a buckler." They performed several dances and de parted, but not until they had re vealed themselves as the king and twelve of his nobles. Once two hundred of the king's officers, all clothed in green and by "Robin Hood" u.et the royal uair and their retinue, "riding to take the air" and invited them to see the "forest home." Blowing their horns the two hundred archers led the way to an arbor of green boughs, "hav ing a hall, a great chamber, and an inner chamber, and the whole was covered wi'h flowers and swtet the guests sat down and were served with venison and wine and much merriment. In a sermon preached before King Edward VI, Bishop Latimer said, "Coming to a certain town to preach, I found the door fast locked. ' I tar ried there half an houre and more, and at las!; the key was found, and one of the parish comes to me and says, 'Syr, this is a busy day with us, we cannot hear you, it is Robin Hood's day.' I was fajne, there fore, to give place to Robin Hoode." Who was this Robin Hood and why should he be King of May? Next week the Greensboro Normal Col lege girls will explain. WASHINGTON LETTER. Interesting News Items Reported From The National Capitol. Stick ia Your Last. A colored man was brought be fore a police judge charged with stealing chickens. He pleaded guiltv, and received sentence, when the judge asked him how it was he managed to lift those chickens right under the shadow of the owner's house, when there was a dog in the yard. "Hit vouldn't be of no use, Judge," said the man, "to try to 'splain dis thing to yo' all. Ef you was to try it you like as not would get yer hide full o' shot an' get no chickens, nuther. Ef yo' want to engage in rascality, Judge, yo' bet ter stick to the bench, where yo' am familiar."

C, March, 2 The Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House, alter patient and pains taking investigation, with due con sideration given to all meritorious waterway projects, has reported bill carrying twenty-five millions in round numbers. While there wil be great disappointment in some se& tions of the country over the failure of the committee to give considera tion to projectsliaving local bearing the bill will be generally acceptable, as it carries out the principle urged upon the Federal Congress, for the past ten years, by the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, that there should be an annual river and harbor bill and that the estimates of the Army Engineers should be made with- the yearly feature in view. O course there will be general regret that the amount carried by the bil is not larger, but with the democrats pledged to economy and retrench ment wherever possible, the bill is as large as could have been expected The Senate will probably add anoth er five millions to the measure bring ing the amount carried by the bill to thirty millions or thereabouts Although the United States has expended several million dollars during the past twenty five years in preparing a complete indexed roster of all the troops engaged in the fed eral and confederate armies during the civil war the records of the mili- tury service of those who fought in ihe revolutionary struggle have ne ver been compiled. These data, if made available would be of unestimable advantag- to the Daughters of the Americar Revoltuion and other Patriotic Socie ties and to the end that the record.- may be properly assembled and com piled Representative Mott, of New York city, has introduced a bill to appropriate a sum sufficient for the purpose. The sponsor for the meas ure is Mrs. John Miller horton, of f Buffalo, who is the leading candi date for the office of President Gen eral of the D. A. R. in the election next year. As soon as that lady re turns from her home in Buffalo a hearing on the Mott bill will be ar ranged and as the Ladies of the or ganization have many friends in ev ery congressional district of the country it is probable that Congress will be only too willing to authorize the expenditure of the twenty-fivt thousand dollars carried by the Mott bill. Although the real Presidential campaigh cannot start until after the National Conventions there are indi cations that the public ear is to be jarred with the usual doggrel which does duty for campaign songs. Be fore Champ Clark was selected for Speaker of the 61st Congress a wild story came from Missouri to the ef fect that he would drive to the Cap itol behind a team of Missouri mules. Mr. Clark promptly and emphatical ly denied the yarn. Now comes an other to theoffect that a Missouri poet (?) has evolved a song about a houn' dawg which is kicked quite frequently. It is asserted that this frightful ditty is to be sung at the Baltimore convention and the corres pondent who sends out the yarn de clares that it is in the interest of the speaker's campaign for the demo cratic nomination. Campaign songs are fearfully and wonderfully made. "Maine went hell bent for Tippecanoe and Tyler too" did duty in the first Harrison campaign. Lincoln had to bear up under an affliction reciting his vir tues as a rail-splitter. A bright but misguided federal official in Buffalo got up a lot of lines about "In the morning by the bright light, when Garfield blows his trumpet in the campaign of 1880. After singing it a few times the "Three-Naught-Six" and the Boys in Blue revolted and a new tune was concocted. In 1888 someone, taking for his cue Bob Ingersoll's speech nominating Blaine wrote a fairly decentsong about "following where the White Plume Waves" but it was set to music on the order of the "Dead March in Sual," it was to Salt River instead of to the White House, that the "White Plume" led the way. Probably the best remembered campaign song in recent years was first sprung in the Chicago conven tion of '92 just after Cleveland had been nominated in spite of Bourke Cochran's protest "Grover, Grover.four more years of Grover In we go. out they go. Then we'll be in clover." It did dutv all through the cam- FREE IF IT FAILS. Your Money Back if You Are Not Satisfied With the Medicine We Recommend. We are so positive that our reme dy will permanently relieve consti pation, no matter how chronic it may be. that we offer to furnish the .medicine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory results. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate, and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestines or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. We want you to try Rexall Order lies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, be ing eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons, and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They ap parently have a neutral action on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor create any inconveni ence whatsoever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will positively relieve chronic or habitual constipation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or dependent chronic ail ments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. 12 tab lets, 10 cents; 36 tablets, 25 cents; 80 tablets, 50 cents.

It is probably true that the acre age in- corn should be increased tnroughout the.entire South; but as a matter of fact, a large part of our corn acreage is now cultivated at a oss, because of the small yield. In deed, if we made as good a yield as the States in the northern part of the Corn Belt, we would probabl3' make sufficient corn to supply our needs. As it is, it is easy for a man to figure out that corn is not a profit able crop. A yield of 15 to 20 bush els to the acre, which is about that made in the Southern States, is not a prontabie crop even at vcents a bushel; but a yield of 40 bushels per acre even at oU cents per bushel brings a better profit. It is the same old story from which there is no es cape, turn where we will. To make our crops profitable, we must in crease the yield per acre. The Pro gressive Farmer. Before you pay charges on an ex press package again, it might be a good idea to make sure the charges have not been paid at the other end. The extent to which the express companies have been robbing the people by collecting charges at both ends of a shipment, as revealed be fore the Interstate Commerce com mission, is amazing. In the case of one company alone it was shown that it made 3,000 over charges in one day and collected in one year $67,000 as overcharges. The officer of the company admit ted that the system employed to identify prepaid packages was faulty, but had no particular apolo gy to make. "Demand for transportation char ges on prepaid shipments must cease," declared Commissioner Lane, who was plainly provoked. "The complaint of this practice by express companies is universal." In addition to the cases of over charging which come to the atten tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, it is believed that thou sands of shipments are paid for at both ends of which tfie commission never hears, owing to the fact that the victims do not know the; are be ing fleeced.

That is one of the7 after-effects of calomel. This is the reason why E. T. White head Company's "drug store will not guarantee calomel to be harmless. But we do guarantee Dodson's Liver- one to be a perfect substitute for calomel. Dodson's Liver-Tone will cure constipation and bilious attacks and keep them cured, by stimulat ing and toning-up the liver to do its best work.
