He la also Interested In politics, and
says that he will always vote for De
mocracy. 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.

FINAL DISCHARGE.
Notice Is hereby given that I will
apply to Hon. J. B. Webster, Probate
from a visit to Birmingham, Ala. He
is an Interesting talker, and he thinks
! that Bryan may be elected president
next time, although he fears that
j Bryan is too radical. 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.

’Tis only noble to be good;
Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman

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.

Every Rexall Formula Is
Public Property—And
Always Has Been
This is an age of inquiry. 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.
