CAISE FOB ALARM. o Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eating a Symptom that Should Rot Be Disregarded. Appetite is just a natural desire for food Loss of appetite or stomach distress after eating; indicate indigestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit very dangerous to a person's general health. It is not what you eat but what you di gest and assimilate that does you good. Home of the strongest, heaviest, and healthiest persons are moderate eaters. There is nothing that will cause more trouble than a disordered stomach, and many people daily contract serious mal adies simply through disregard or abuse of the stomach. We urge all in Abbeville who suffer from any stomach derangement, indigestion, oi dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to try Eexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct understanding that we will refund their money without question or formal ity, if after reasonable use of this medi cine, they are not perfectly satisfied with the results. We recommend them to oui customers every day, and have yet to heai of any one who has not been benefitted by them. We honestly believe them to be without equal. They give very prompt relief, aiding to neutralize the gastric juices, strengthen the digestive organs, to regulate the bowels, and thus to promote perfect nutrition, and eradicate all un healthy symptoms. We urge^ou to try a 25c. box of Rexail Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives 15 days' treatment. At the end of that time, your money will be returned to you If you are not satisfied. Of course, In chronic cases length of treatment varies. For such cases, we have two larger sizes, which sell for 60c. and $1.00. Remember, you can ob taiu Rex all Remedies in this community only at our store?The Rexall Store. C. A.

Then some one used energetic language to central, and she answered resentfully. Then cam? a voice that gave the banker a start It had been two years since he heard It From the jingle of voices he made out the words: "Auto ran over calf; pay $10; farmer won't let me go; no money; hurry up. Hello, central; hello, hello! Oh, dear!" The banker smiled. Two years before while fishing from the wharf and be fore establishing the bank a summer girl from the hotel on the hill had come paddling about in her store made ca noe. He saw at once that she was a novice. He saw also that she had not yet passed her twentieth year and was his style of beauty.. For a young man of twenty-four who had fished a full hour without a nibble Mr. Gilbert I was in luck. v Of course the owner of the canoe wai bound to show off. It was only her sccond voyage In the birch bark, but she thought she knew all the canoe tricks and was ready to resent anj advice. She wasn't tendered any to resent, however. The young man corf tented himself with taking off his coat and slipping off his shoes. When the canoe turned turtle he was ready. He took a long dive and came to the sty face with the choking, struggling girl In his arms and reached the shore with her. 1 That evening he appeared at the ho tel to be effusively thanked by Judge Henrys, the father, and by the grate ful, If chagrined, canoeist several other evenings saw him there a* veil, and between talking politics with the father and canoeing with Miss Kitty the time was passed very pleasantly Something was said about correspond ence when father and daughter left for their home in the city. As a mat ter of fact two or three letters ,did pass, and then Uncle Sam's carriers failed to deliver. The young banker had puzzled a bit, as perhaps had some one else, and now, on account of the crossed wires, he was hearing bet voice again. What had that voice said? Xt was trying to reach some one at the bote] on the hill, but evidently malting a failure of it The owner was In trou ble somewhere. It looked as tf she had gone out In an auto and run down a calf and the farmer ;?as holding her until the damages were settled. The banker thought for a moment and then ordered his auto around. Which way? He had trusted to tuck wee and would again. Out of town ? ^ * w?_i ?ti. krUM aj uio wni uiguwiy?viw h>? ?up the long hill and then straight ahead for five miles. Far ahead he saw an anto beside the road with two female figures In It and a farmer In ?sulky attitude leaning against ' the fence. The females In the. anto were Miss Henrys and a girl friend. There was handshaking and Introductions, and Miss Kitty explained: "We were coming along at about ten miles an hour When the calf ran In front of the machine. I was willing to pay damages, but had no money, and the man here would not take one of my rings." . , 1 hain't taking no rings any more. Feller come along here last summer and run orer my* old woman and then left a diamond ring that turned out to be glass." He waa given his money by the banker. Of course Mr. Gilbert had to call at the rummer hotel that evening to talk the matter over. There was some thing that the young people wanted to aay, but they couldn't say It until after Judge Henrys had poured out his thanks and remembered that he had to meet a man in the lobby. Even after he had departed the matter lingered, but it was very sooq. cleared up. Two weeks lat^r, In the banker's auto. Miss ''Kitty; and Mr. Gilbert went spinning ovtf the west road. 80 earnest was their talk that they failed to note that they were drawing near the farm where the calf accident bad occurred. They were forcibly remind ed of the locality, however, when a hog suddenly rose from the wayside ditch in front of the farmhouse and reached the center of the road Just in time to be converted Into fresh pork. The farmer was looking on, and be came out to say, ana looking at Miss Kitty as be said It: "Ding my buttons, 'If yon haven't went and gone and dene It ag'ln!" "Of course I'll pay,** Bald tbe bank er a* be took out bis purse. "How much Is It?" "You needn't say anything to the gal About it. but I'll make It an ev?n 98." "You are very generous," was tbe reply as the money was handed over. "What was he talking about?" ask ed the young lady as the banker re turned to the auto and they proceeded "Um! He appears to be very sen slble." "But what was the talk about?" "Oh, he?he said I ought to get mar ried." / The young lady looked off into th< fields and made no reply, and ten lonf minutes after be had spoken the bank er added: "And I think so too." And a year later he did. Ao AoItoaj StdtyPot Little Polka The Rooster's Advice Tommy was In trouble.

John Andrews and Tom Hutchins were bosom friends till they both fan cied the same girl. Before either of them had met Lacy Boughton they were inseparable. Usnally the trouble with girls in snch cases is that they won't show a preference. Lucy show ed a preference for both the friends. One day she would be very sweet to Andrews, the next to Hutchins. There Is nothing Illce uncertainty 10 Buaryeu love, and nothing will break op a friendship either between two men or two women than a rivalry for the af fections of the same person. So John and Tom first began to show a cool ness, then to scowl at each bther when they met, and finally they were ready to take each other's heart's blood. One evening John went to see Lucy and remained with her till 11 o'clock. When he went away, thongh he had not proposed to her, he considered the matter settled between theifl. Ho was enable to support a wife, and this was the reason why he had said nothing about marriage. He intended to see her again soon, confess that he loved her and ask her if she would wait till he could better his affairs. The very next afternoon he received a shock. Walking along a road, Tom and Lucy passed him in a buggy. Tom cowled at him, but Lucy smiled very sweetly. What did k mean? Was the girl deceiving him? He brooded over the matter, and Instead of going to her for Information he endeavored to get It from Tom. Tbe next aay, meet ing; Ten*, he said: % ^Hare a pleasant ride yesterday?" "Yes; very," "Anything between yon and Lucy?" "What's that to you?" " good deal. I'm about to come to an understanding with her." "I don't know bat 111 come te an un derstanding with her myself. Jack," aid Tom, suddenly changing his tone, let's go Into the wood there where ao one will see us and have It out If you make me cry "naff* I'Q leave Che Held to you. If you make me cry "naff* I take a back seat and let you do the driving." . " greed!" The two young men penetrated a wood nearby, Tom leading the way. till they reached an open space, where ha storoed. and they took off their coats tod squared np against each ether. John drew first blood from his chum's nose, and Tom drew second blood from his chum's Up. Then they both clinched, and Tom very .nearly gouged oat John's eye, John at the suns time biting off a piece of Tom's ear. They fell, John on top. "Got enough?" he asked: nro." i Fire minutes later Tom got John off aad under. \ "Got enough T be asked. "No." They conldnt rery well kin ^ch other without any weapons except their fists, but they tired each other out John succeeded In throwing off Tom, but he hadn't the strength to fol low, up the advantage. Tom lay still? he eould neither renew the combat nor rise. Tan minutes later Tom sat up. "John," he said, "I got an Idea." * '? ?arrant J OILU gsff m rei|ivuM<a ? ??

They were about to climb a fence to cross a field when they saw the object of their quarrel in the cen ter of the inclosure.

It required some time for them to reach their objective point, and when they did Lucy had disengaged herself and when she saw them bad so far recov ered from her fright as to burst out laughing.

Advodates of Regulating Animal Ex> ' perlments Ask Operators Soma Per tinent Questions. Protesting against attempts to mis- 3 represent the attitude of the Society For the Prevention of Abase In Animal Experimentation, Mr. F. P. Bellamy, j counsel for the society, denies that | It ever proposed the prohibition of ] vivisection- The society stands, he 1 says, upon precisely the platform 1 where Herbert Spencer, the greatest 1 tf English scientists, stood when In ' 1895 he, with nearly 200 of the most prominent physicians In England and In this country, signed u statement in which he said: "We believe, therefore, that the common Interests of humanity and science demand that vivisection, like the study of human anatomy In the dissec ting room, should be brought un *1.? finwlolrvn an/I UCA llir UilC l r?ujaiTWivu uuu wumv. of the Mtnie. TLo practice, whether In public or In private, should be restrict ed by law to certain definite objects and surrounded by every possible safe guard against license or abuse." Mr. Bellamy Insists that'these ques tions call for a frank answer from those who oppose any such safe guards: , Queries For the Doctors. How can legitimate scientific work by competent men be injured by a law which will limit all vivisection to com petent persons? How can legitimate scientific worL be lnlured bv a law which will com pel the use of anaesthetics In all caser where the success of the experiment does not make the nse of anaesthetic? Impracticable? tt our proposed legislation does not - folly protect legitimate scientific work why do not bur opponents who criti else it accept our often repeated invi tation and suggest some amendment which win fully protect scientific re search? Why the secrecy with which vtvlsec tlon Is surrounded? Has the disem bowellng of living animals, in order to experiment with their vital organs, or the amputation of limbs from one an! mal and attaching them to another become so painless that the pablii has no interest to know what effort i> made to save unnecessary suffering? s Or Is the brutality of the whole thing so hideous or so unnecessary that the operators do not dare to let in the light of investigation upon it? We again challenge them to *>pen the doors of their star chamber labora tories and'let the truth be known. In no other way can they quiet the pub He apprehension or avert the legisla tion of which they have such dread. PIONEER AMERICAN LINEN MILLS BRANCHING OUT. | Hug* Plant Now Planned Made Neces sary by One Year's Development of New Industry. I Impressive evidence of the progress of the pidneer American Linen mills established at North Brookfleld, Mass.. about a year ago is found in the plane Just completed for extending the plant Beginning with llMted capacity In a ?m ^ V?a n^onfo/^ Vixr <1ootopc I mill uuii uuu iv w uuu^kw ?m.0.v? to the requiromenta of the Oxford Llnei. mills, the business has grown to such ) an extent that plans have been drawn for half a dozen new buildings, till larger than the present main mill. The plans call for an addition doa ble the size of the present main mill a new stock, storage and shipping building/ weave shed, "oxolint" fac tory, bleach house and fiber preparing bouse. The two latter buildings will be in the center of a quadrangle form ed by the other buildings mentioned. AD the buildings will be of re-en forced concrete. The new weave shed is to be a two story building, provided with overhead lighting by means of a saw tooth roof containing 875 sky lights. The power plant will be lo cated well away from the mill building proper, all the machinery in which will be. electrically operated. A stock issue of about $166,000 made in con nection with the beginning of these extensions was all taken within a week, largely by original shareholders In the mills. Tbe Uxiora mm was me urai es tablishment In the United States to undertake the manufacture of linen products from fiber prepared by tbe Mudge process. This accomplishes Id a few hours the work that abroad re quires many weeks. Judging from the extensions to be carried ont by the Oxford mills, there seems to be no further reason to question tbe lm mense success of the undertaking. Turblno Fans For American Dread noughts. For the forced draft equipment of the United States battleships Dela ware and North Dakota twenty-eight turbine fans, each with a capacity of 24,000 cubic feet a minute, have been built at the Troy works of the Sirocco Engineering company. Although only twenty-seven inches In diameter, the fourteen Sirocco tur bine fans to be Installed on each of the United States Dreadnoughts sup ply 888,000 cnblc feet of air every minute to keep the fires roaring under the boilers of these monster war Tea sels. It Is an enormous output for their small size that has led to the adoption of this type of fan on'all the principal transatlantic liners, In Euro-1 pean navies and now by the United States naval authorities.
