FOR AGED PEOPLE.
Old Folks Should Be Careful in Their
Selection of Regulative Medicine.
With advanced age comes inactive
bowel movement and sluggish liver.
Nature is unable to perform her prop
er functions and requires assistance.
Otherwise, there is constant suffering
from constipation and its attendant
evils. Old folks should never use phy
sic that is harsh and irritating.
We have a safe, dependable and al
together ideal remedy that is particu
larly adapted to the requirements of
aged people and persons of weak con
stitutions who suffer from constipation
or either bowel disorder. We are BO
certain that it will cure these com
plaiuts and give absolute satisfaction
in every particular that we will offer
them with our personal guarantee that
they shall cost the user nothing if they
fail to substantiate our claims. This
remedy is called Rexall Orderlies.
Rexall Orderlies have a soothing,
healing, strengthening, tonic and regu
lative action upon the dry, relax mus
cular coat of the bowel. They produce
a natural, successive contraction and
relaxation of the muscular fibres
of the bowel walls, generating a wave
like motion which forces their con
tents onward and outward ; thus sim
ulating nature in perfect bowel move
ment. They also remove ail irritation,
dryness, soreness and weakness. They
tone up and strengthen the nerves and
muscles and restore the bowels and as
sociate organs to more vigorous and
healthy activity. They may be taken
at any time without inconvenience, do
not cause any griping, nausea, diarr
hea, excessive looseness, flatulence or
other disagreeable effect. Try Rexall
Orderlies on our guarantee. 36 tablets

On January 15, Emporium defeated
the fast team from Hicks Run by the
score of -15 to 14 and on Jan. 18, St.
Marys team took our boys in tow at
St Marys to the tune of 39 to 22 in the
fastest game of the season. During
the game at St. Marys, Chas. Hockley
had the misforturo to hurt his shoulder
which will keep him out of the game
for some time.
Friday night next, Emporium will
tackle the strong team from Ridgway
at the opera house. This game will
certainly be one worth seeing for as
Ridgway is conceded to be one of
fastest teams in this section The
game will be called at 8:30 and every
body should try to be on hand. Don't
forget.

WASHINGTON LETTEH.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 100!).
Ever since the command from tiic
White House went forth that army and
navy officers would be required to un
dergo a mild physical endurance test
there have been muffled protests. As
a upual thing army and navy men over
forty years old do not keep themselves
in training and it is suspected that a
majority of them after a horseback ride
often or ilteen miles would experience
considerable fatigue and soreness.
The test required by the President was
a horseback ride of ninety miles in
three consecutive days, a pretty severe
test for soft men of middle age, the
majority of them weighing two hun
dred pounds? The men weighing that
much is probably not in good health
and has spent too many years since
he was thirsty in sedentary eating and
drinking. lie is too heavy for an or
dinary horse, and extraordinary horses
are hard to iind A rider in practice
has an indurated seat and can easily
rido thirty miles a day not only for
three consecutive days but for ten or
thirty. Well the groans, and the pro
tests of the captains, colonels and
majors came to the ear of the Presi
dent and he determined to show them
what the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy could do and to that
end one day this week he got up be
tween three and four o'clock in the
morning mounted his horse and with
three companions rode to Warrenton,
Virginia where he ate luncheon and,
after a rest of half an hour rode back
to the White House arriving about
eight o'clock at night, having covered
in the round trip, a distance of ninety
eight miles, in other words, having
ridden in one day eight miles more
than he has required regular army and
navy officers to ride in three days.
The President weighs two hundred
pounds but he is tough and as hard as
nails. He lias been riding constantly
for years,probably about eighteen miles
a day and was of course in training.
There can be no doubt but that there
is too much effeminacy on softness
among the officers both of the army
and of the navy. Mr. Roosevelt doubt
less remembers the striking example
of General Bhafter who waa in com
mand of the Cuban army sent in mid
summer to Cuba. The immensely
stout old General weighed probably
three hundred and fifty pounds but in
the way of baggage he was like a three
hundred and ifty ton uillstone around
the neck of the army. His headquart
ers were miles in the rear of the army
and there on a couch groaning with
gout he sweltered in the humid tropi
cal July climate.
The lives and the treasure lost to the
country through promotion by senior
ity of unfit men will never be known
The only road to physical fitness is
through exercise and abstemiousness.
There can be 110 sufficient exercises
without abstemiousness. Rockefeller's
doctor has just predicted that the
multi-millionaire will live to be a hun
dred years old because as he say, '"he
takes a great deal of exercises in open
air and always leaves the table
hungry." Of course the doctors pro
phesy is not proved but it may he as
sumed that Rockefeller has about as
good a physician and as wise as money
will buy and this hint and suggestion
in the way of preventive medicine is
one that every reader may note and
profit by without paying the bill that
Mr, Rockefeller pays his doctor.
That the present Congress is of the
opinion that the big President elect is
worth fifty thousand dollars a year
more than the President who lias been
nourishing the big stick is plain to see.
Yesterday Senator Cullom reported the
legislative, executive and judicial bill
to the Senate. The most prominent
Feature of this bill is an increase of the
salary of the President of the United
3tatts to one hundred thousand dollars
1 oear. The sume bill increases the
salary of the Viae President to twenty
thousand dollars, and that of the
Speaker of the House to twenty thous
and. This is a doubling of the salaries
for all three offices. Until the election
of Presideut Grant the salary of the
President of the United States was
only tweuty-five thousand dollars a
year and now after thirty-seven years
at fifty thousand dollars it is proposed
again to double it The wealth of the
country has more than doubled since
the President's salary was liist increas-
Bd and there are a number of men,
presidents of much smaller corporation
than the United States of American,
who are receiving a yearly salary of
more that it is now proposed to pay the
President.
Ma's New Husband.
A gentleman,his wife and child were
occupying a box at a performaco of
"Ma's New Husband" which appears
at the opera house, Jan. 27th. The
child began to cry and an usher in
formed his parents that, if the child
cried again they must got their money
back at the box office and leave the
theatre. The child stopped and all
was quiet until the third act. The
father flgited for a moment, then lean
ed over and said to his wife What
lid the usher say about Tommy? That
if lie cried we would have togo to the
box office and get our money back,
replied his wife. "Make him cry,"
said the husband.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSO A V. JANUARY 21, 1909.
Judge Green for Supreme Court
Judge.
The very cordial endorsement of
Judge Green's candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for Justice of tho
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania by the
members of the Bar of every county
composing this judicial district—Clin
ton, Cameron and Elk counties —is
very gratifying to the able jurist's
friends, who recognize in Judge Green
that eminent ability displayed in thirty
five years' active practice before the
courts of the West Branch Valley, as
well as the Supreme and U. y. Courts,
followed by an honorable career as
President Judge of this the 25th Judi
cial District. The extensive manufact
uring, farming, mining and business
interests of the great North West,
□ ever yet accorded representation on
the Supreme Bench, know and appre
ciate Judge Green's bright, able and
conscientious legal ability and will be
highly honored and gratified should ho
be nominated as the successor to Judge
Mitchell Many other able gentlemen
are mentioned as candidates, but none
surpass our favorite. The convention
will make no mistake if they nominate
lion. B. W Green for Justice of the
Supreme Court.
Spirit Dictated to Ssirdou.
Before he made his reputation by
writing plays Victorien Sardou, the
French dramatist, who was deeply in
terested in spiritualism, had a remark
able experience in taking dictation.
He had been interested in occult
phenomena, and, by chance, he came
ito into communication with a spirit
personality who signed himself "Bar
nard Pollissy." M. Sardau, who re
cently passed into the larger life, has
told the story of his experiments in an
article entitled, "Only the Blindly
Ignorant Scoff," in the Fedruary De
lineator. lie says:
One day, in my room with two
friends, I thought I would make the
little table where wo had taken our
coffee run about the room, as a had
often done when alone. Without say
ing anything I put my hand on the
table, but it would not budge. I tried
in vain all the time they were there
to make it move, but to no avail. As
soon as they were gone i could make
it do what I pleased, even jump clear
off the floor. So I took up my pencil
and asked: "But why would you not
make the table move while my friendb
were here?" The hand which held the
pencil wrote, "They were too stupid."
Shortly after this I was fitting bT
my table one day. idling, dreaming,
not making any effort to do anything
in particular. All of a sudden my
hand began to work on the paper be
fore me with a rapidity and precision
which astonished me.
And it kept this up for close to two
hours. The result was a fantastic
piece of work drawn indelicate lines,
fine almost as a spider's web, and at
the bottom a signature —"Bernard
Polissy." "What is it?" I asked.
And my automatic hand wrote:
"The House of Swedenborg on tho
Planet Jupiter." This was considered
as anost curious by all mv friends, who
knew that personally, I had no apti
tude for drawing. A plate was pre
pared and I was given an itching tool.
The result, in the same order of design,
was a more elaborate piece of work,
this time curiously combined out of all
sorts of musical terms, clefs, notes,
bars, and so on, and the whole was
designated as the House of Mozart,
also on Jupiter, and the whole was
again signed "Palissy." In fact, Ber
nard Polissy became my almost con
stant companion from this on, like my
second self.
Senator Boies Penrose Scores
Third Term.
The re-election of United States Sen
ator Boies Penrose for the third term
on Tuesday, by 198, to 42 for Senator
Dimeling, is a royal and just vindica
tion. No public official has been more
bitterly and outrageously maligned in
recent years than Senator Penrose, un
less it was that greatest and most loved
and feared, the lamented Matthew
Stanley Quay. It was a great victory
for Senator Penrose and a terrible re
buke to the character assassins and
yellow journals. Senator Penrose,
the hardest worker in the United States
Senate, simply sawed wood and the
people championed his cause.
Asks Us to Print.
To relieve the worst forms of Rheu
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged
up, inaelive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood tiie poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
As Uheumatism is not only tho most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipo will
no doubt be greatlv valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
It is said that person who would
take this proscription regularly, a doso
or two daily, or even a few times a
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma
tism
(kit this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescription which real
ly relieves are scarce, indeed, and when
yell need it. you want it badly.

It's a Girl.
"Henry Auchu, is setting up the
cigars. It's a girl and tips the scales
at the usuel weight." The above is a
clipping taken from the CAMERON
COUNTY PREPS, published Jan. 22,
1891, and the anniversary of the event
was celebrated in fine order last Mon
day evening by a dance given at the
Theatorium hall in honor of Miss Ellen
Auchu. The party was a complete sur
prise, the plans having been made by
several of her friends, and it was in
deed genuine, as the young lady never
once thought of such a thing. Miss
Auchu is one of Emporium's most
charming and jolly daughters and,
after the effects of the surprise passed
away, proceeded in her usual happy
way to make her guests have a good
time, indeed all, who were lucky
enough to receive an invitation, had.
Mesdames Henry Aachu and A. F.
Vogt were patronesses of the evening.
The "wee sma' hours" arrived all too
quickly and the guests departed for
their homes wishing Miss Auchu many
happy returns of the day. Those pres
ent were: Miss Christy McDonald,
Lena Coyle, Kathryn and Julia Hogan,
Frances, Helen and Agnes Blumle,
Bose Ganey, Vera Geary, Mayme Cum

Bair, Lillian Cotter. Edna Auchu and

Miss Auchu received many useful and
beautiful gifts.
