Only the very gentlest I rowel medicine

These matters had already been

agreed to at once begin to secure

where it fails to give entire satisfac-
tion, and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in aciton, may lie taken at
any time, day or night; do n >t cause
idiarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act-
ing as a regulative tonic upon the re-
laxed muscular coat of the bowel, tints
j overcoming weakness, and aiding to
| restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only relieve
!constipation, hut help to remove the

tlesli under nu The proposition was accepted
Hon. H. L. Moseley, when seen
Thursday morning in connection with
the proposed preliminary primary,
which has been proposed and favored
by Judges R. L. Stennis and F. O. Mc-
Kinsey, the other candidates for^the
office of district judge, expressed him-
self as follow’s:
i have read with interest the two
interviews of my opponents in yes-
terday's Herald, and it strikes me that
neither of them have given any rea-
son, of real merit, why we should bur-
den tiie people of Parker county in
the early spring with a primary to de-
cide this question between us. And I
believe neither of them has convinced
any thinking citizen that my plan of
settling the matter by a 'drawing' is
either wrong or immoral. If this meth-
od of selection is wrong, and a lot-
tery, then tiie Bible is wrong, because
it records more than once tiie use of
tltis method, and there are many in-
stances in ilie" history of the world
when men have been chosen in this
manner in great and serious crisis and
it was thought neither wrong nor im-
moral.
"The other argument advanced that
the people had a right to decide this
to keep the qnestjon— that it ignores the people,
etc.,' is simply grand stand talk on
the part of my opponents. Did either
of them obtain the consent of the vot-
ers of tliis county to become a candi-
date for this office, and if not. will
either of them have to obtain the con-
sent of the voters of this county Irefore
they can retire from the race? I think
not. Either of us can ably and honor-
ably fill the office and 1 believe the
county would lie satisfied with either
of us as it’s candidate: and if among
ourselves, by any method agreeable to
ourselves, two of ns agree to retire in
favor of the other, I think the people
of this county would care very little
about how it was Drought about, but
will be grateful to us for doing it. And
I am sure if the proposed primary is
held between my two opponents the
smallness of the vote will demonstrate
the truth of tltis statement. The re-
cent hard yoars have made it absolute-
ly necessary for ihe farmers of this
county io make a crop, if it is impos-j
slide, and for us uselessly and need-
lessly to precipitate a primary upon
them, here in the early spring (with
another to come on in July), will nei-
ther be kind to them (excepting of
course all those citizens who have
been signing the petitions of my op-
ponents), nor helpful to us.

zens of this county on yesterday and
today expressed, to me their hearty ap-
proval of my plan.
"Whatever may lie the outcome of
the matter, 1 know I am right, when
I say that we ought to settle this mat-
ter between ourselves and ought not
to precipitate a primary upon the peo-
ple of this county at this time. And
tltis ends the discussion of this ques-
tion with me."

No young woman, In the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi-
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys-
tem for the coming event, and its use
makee her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No better advicgzmould ha
given a young expectant motive)? than
that she use Mother’s Friend;1 it is a
medicine that has proven its value
in thousands of
cases. Mother’s
Friend is sold at
drug stores.
