making my exit from the Congression
al arena at the end of the present term
1 feel that I have played the part of an
awkward amateur in an engagement
which has been unsatisfactory to my
self and unprofitable to my constituents.
That while I have attended to the dis
tribution of seeds and documents, and
made an honest effort to get everybody
a pension or a postoffice, there will be
no reason why I should not slip so
quietly and unostentatiously back into
the harness as the editor of the Punxsu
tawney Spirit as not in the least to
disturb the equilibrium of the country
or cause any undue consternation in the
next Congress because of my absence."

words: "I am a young lady of 20 and
would like to correspond with a bach
elor with a view to matrimony." The
bachelor wrote and within a few days
got this reply: "Mamma was married
20 years ago. Evidently the merchant

Coughs, Sore Throat,
Hoarseness and Inflam
mation of the Throat are
Immediately relieved by
REXALL
Cherry Juice
Cherry Jnice will cure the moflt stub
born Cough, allay tickling sensations in
the throat, soothe sorethroat, overcome
difficulty in breathing, and will
strengthen and clear the voice.
A dry, spasmodic, hacking or eroupy
congh is quickly transformed into a
moist or loose cough, which yields more
readily to the treatment, because nature
is assisted in throwing off the secretions
of mucus and phlegm.
Rexall Cherry Juice is very pleasant
to taste and is readily taken by children
who object to bad tasting cough medi
cines—and remember this, where you
buy a bottle of Rexall Cherry Juice
your money is only left on deposit.
If it fails to give satisfaction in any
way, yonr money is promptly refunded
