Millions ol Onions
Fourteen million bushels of on
ions were raised in the United
States last rear, and so was
the demand that 1.400,000 bushels
more were imported from Spain,
Eu)pt, Bermuda and the south
islands. The value of America's
crop was $10,000,000, and the de
partment of agi iculture believes
that of IK>9 should he worth twice
as much. It hi s just issued a bul
letin on the subject sts a gentle re
minder to the average farmer and
truck grower that they are over
looking the onion—as if any one
could do such a thing. Kor many
centuries this vegetable thrived only
in the valleys ai.d lowlands, but
iproved agricultural methods have
made it possible to raise it with
profit on the hilltops. The Ber
muda vKriety is being grown with
tremendous success in all of the
southern* states, especially along
the gulf coast, liach succeeding
year brings new ideas as to market
ing, and the danger of having the
fruit rot in transit is fast becoming
a thing of the past. —lix.
For Constipation
A Medicine That does Not
Cost Anything Unless
it Qives Satisfac
tory Relief.
If you suffer from constipation
in any form whatever, acute or
chronic, we will guarantee j G st ,p.
plv you medicine that we henestly
believe will effect permanent relief
if taken with regularity and accord
ing to directions for a reasonable
length of time. Should the med
icine fail to benefit you to your
entire satisfaction we promise that
it shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be com
pared with Rexall Orderlies for the
easy, pleasant and successful treat
ment of constipation. The active
medicinal ingredient of this renie ly
which is odorless, tasteless and
colorless, is an entirely new .dis
covety. Combined with other val
uable ingredients, it forms a pupa
ration which is incomparable as a
perfect bowel regulator, intestinal
invigorator and strengthener Rex
all Orderlies are eaten like candy,
and are notable for their gentle
and agreeable action. They do not
cause griping or any disagreeable
effect or inconvenience, and may
be taken at any time, day or night.
We particularly recommeud Rex- j
all Orderlies for children and for
delicate or aged persons, because
they do not contain anything inju
rious, Unlike other preparations,
they do not create a habit, but
instead they the habits
acquired through the use of ordi
nary laxatives, cathartics, and
harsh physic, and remove the cause
of constipation or irregular bowel
action that are not of surgical va
riety.
We want you to try Rexall
Orderlies at our risk. We know of
Aotliing that will do you so much
good. They are prepared in tablet
form in two sizes: 36 tablets 25
cents, aud 12 tablets 10 cents Re
