Nevertheless the general belief seems to be that the county option law will not be permitted to remain on the statutes for many months after the legislature convenes—South Bend Time*. The Democrat does not believe that the sentiment favors the repeal of the county local option law. And if it is wise to effect such a repeal, why does not the Times champion it?

! perfectly capable of settling it. After’ I the special session, the general feel-1 ling of the people was that the quesition was settled, and the Democrats finished their campaign upon this assumption. In away the election results is a rebuke to Governor Hanly, but that rebuke is not because of the law, but because of the manner in i which Governor Hanly save it to them.

If you suffer from constipation in any form whatever, acute or chronic, we will guarantee to supply you medicine that will surely effect a cure if taken with regularity and according to directions for a reasonable length of time. Should the medicine fail to benefit you to your entire satisfaction we promise that it shall cost you nothing. No other remedy can be compared with Rexall Orderlies for the easy, pleasant and successful treatment of constipation. The active medicinal ingredient of this remedy which is odorless, tasteless and colorless, is an entirely new discovery. Combined with other extremely valuable ingredients, it forms a preparation which |is incomparable as a perfect bowel i regulator, intestinal invigorator and strengthener. Rexall Orderlies are notable for their agreeableness to the palate and gestleness of action. They ‘do not cause griping or any disagreeable effect or inconvenience, and may be taken at any time, day or night We particularly recommend Rexall .Orderlies for children, delicate or aged ; ■persons because they do not contain i anything that could possibly injure 1 | the most delicate organism. They are ■just as easy to take as candy, and un- ' like other preparations for a like pur- 1 pose they do not create a habit, but instead they overcome the cause of 1 habits acquired through the use of 1 'ordinary laxatives, cathartics and I harsh physic, and permanently remove 1 jthe cause of constipation or irregular ‘ .bowel action, ■ We want you to try Rexall Orderlies at our risk. We know that there is nothing that will do you so much 1 ! good, and we will refund your money 1 J without argument if they do not do as we say they will. They are prei pared in tablet form in two sizes of packages: 36 tablets, 25c., and 12 ‘tablets 10c. The Smith, Yager & : Falk Drug Co.. Decatur, Ind. i o— — Democrat Want Ads. Pay
