He says that populism Is coming, too. And this certainly Is a sign that our people are reading more of late years than they used to read. But he is opposed to socialism. If i mistake not, he considers it rather too extreme to ever be put into successful operation. It Is, how ever, a force In politics, and so It has to be recognized.

But I scarcely 1 take this view of the case. Believe me, Bryan is conservative enough to be considered safe and sane. There Is some populism in both the Republican and the Democratic par ties today. A notable instance of this may be observed in the fact that Post master General Meyer lg advocating two populistic measures—the parcels post and the postal savings bank. “Howe’er it be, It seems to me ’Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood.” My old friend, Mr. John Caldwell, spent Thursday morning with us. I see Mr. Caldwell quite often, as he lives just about half a mile from our home. He is a Confederate veteran, having passed through a large por tion of that terrible conflict, the American civil war. His hearing Is bad, but as he is a man of Intelligence and reads much, I believe him to be the most entertaining talker I know. to refuse it.

The General Progress Committee is the Unofficial Town Booming Committee. It really ought to be organ ized and made official. Let all of us work together for the advancement of the town we live in, and there will be more room around new excavations for the fellows at work to throw out the dirt.

Not since the tim£ of the Civil War has there been so much agitation in the minds of the people on varioue subjects. People “want to know” about everything. We do not say that the public has grown skeptical—quite the contrary. We believe it is a day and age of enlightened, intelligent inquiry after facts. Each man and each woman now-a-days wants to do his and her own thinking. They are not looking for any concentrated essence of wis dom boiled down and given to them in capsule form. They want to figure out for themselves what is right, and what is wrong, and what to do about it Public sentiment has forced the government of the United States to pass a law compelling medicine manufacturers to state on their labels any injurious ingredients their remedies may contain. We believe that the Rexall remedies have had as much to do with the creation of this senti ment as any other one single element in the country. Why? Simply because the Rexall remedies, from their inception several years ago, started out on an entirely new line. The first principle in the Rexall platform was one remedy for each ill—not a cure-all. Second—no secret combinations. Every formula has always been open to the public; any one can know what he is taking when he buys Rexall—and always could. Third—-every Rexall remedy has been sold on the basis of “money back” if you are not more than satisfied, f This is frank, square, open-handed busin$u % that's all. But it made Rexall the greatest success in the medicine world in a very short time. '-4 ^tCalS, "93” HAIR TONIC The famom Rexall “83’ 1 Hair Tonic U one of th. M, •v Rexall Remedies.
