When "Pluck" Was Slang.
The word "pluck" affords an In
atance of the way in which slang
.words In the course of time become
adopted Into current English. We now
meet with "pluck" and "plucky" as
(the recognized equivalents of "cour
age" and "courageous." An entry In Sir
Valter Scolt's "Journal" shows thHt
In 1827 the word bad not yet lost its
low character. He says (volume 2.
page 80), "Want of that article black
guardly called pluck." Its origin is
-obvious. From early times the heart
fcas been popularly regarded as the
seat of courage. Now, when a butcher
lays open a carcass be divides the
great vessels of the heart, cuts
through the windpipe and then plucks
out together the united heart and
longs lights, be calls them and be
terms the united mass "the pluck."

One morning In anger he gave orders
that such letters were to be returned
to the postman. The very first un

from his partner. It was rejected as

Consequently, knowing nothing of

"Correct to a T."
Our earliest quutatiou for this or for
the kindred phrases "to suit one to a
T." "to fit to a T," "to know one to a
T." Is of 1GIM. Can any one help us
to an earlier example No oue of our
many Instances throws any light upon
Its origin. A current obvious conjec
ture would explnin "a T" as meaning
"a T square," but to this tbere are va
rlous objections. We have no evi
dence as yet that the name "T square"
goes back to the seventeenth centnrj
and no example of Its being called
simply "a T," and In few If any of
our Instances would the substitution
of "a T square" for "a T" make any
tolerable sense. The notion seems
rather to be that of minute exactness,
as It were "to the minutest point."
But the evidence is mainly negative.
If examples can be found of "T
square" before 17(10 or of its reduction
simply to "T" or of earlier examples
of "to a T" they may help to settle the
actual origin. London Notes and

Aroid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to
Cause Injury to the
Bowels
If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tem
porary relief and their reaction is
harmful and sometimes more annoy
ing than constipation. They in no
way effect a cure and their ten
dency is to weaken the already
weak organs with which they come
in contact.
We honestly believe that we
have the best constipation treat
ment ever devised. Our faith in
it is so strong that we sell it on the
positive guarantee that it shall not
cost the user a cent if it does not
give entire satisfaction and com
pletely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called ltexall Order
lies. These are prompt, soothing
and most effective in action. They
are made of a recent chemical dis
covery. Their principal ingredient
is odorless, tasteless and colorless.
Combined with other well known
ingredients, long established for
their usefulness in the treatment of
constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at any time,
either day or night, without fear
of their causing any inconvenience
whatever. They do not gripe,
purge nor cause nausea. They act
without causing any pain or ex
cessive looseness of the bowels.
They are ideal for children, weak,
delicate persons and aged people as
well as for the most hearty person.
They come in two size packages,
12 tablets 10 cents, 36 tablets 25
cents. Remember you can obtain
them only at The Rexall Store.
