FREE IF IT FAILS.Your Money Back if You are Not

Satisfied with the Medicine WeRecommend.

We are so positive that our rem-edy will permanently relieve con-stipation, no matter how chronic itmay be, that we offer to furnish themedicine at our expense should itfail to produce satisfactory results.

It is worse than useless to at-tempt to cure constipation withcathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathar-tics do much harir. They cause a re-action, irritate, acid weaken the bow-els and tend to make constipationmore chronic. Besides, their use be-comes a habit that is dangerous.

Constipation is caused by a weak-ness of the nerves and. muscles ofthe large intestine or descendingcolon. To exeect permanent relief youmust therefore tone upl and strengthenthese organs and restore them tohealthier activity.

We want you to try Rexall Order-lies on our recommendation. Theyare exceedingly pleasant to take, be-ing eaten like candy, and are idealfor children, delicate persons, andold folks, as well as for the robust.They act directly on the nerves andmuscles of the bowels. They appar-ently have a neutral action on otherassociate organs or glands. They donot purge, cause excessive looseness,nor create any inconvenience what-ever. They may be taken at any time,day or night. They will positively re-lieve chronic or habitual constipa-tion, if not of surgical variety, andthe myriads of 'associate or depend-ent .chronic ailments, if taken withregularity for a reasonable length oftime. 12 tablets, 10 cents; 36 tablets,23 cents; 80 tablets, 50 cents.

FINE ATTRACTION, COMIN."The Gamblers" to be Seen Here

Tomorrow Night--Charles Klein'sNoted Drama Coming to the Gon-dran After Successful Week InNew Orleans.

"The Gamblers," Charles Klein'snoted play which created such a fu-rore last season in New York, will bethe attraction at the Gondran Thea-tre tomorrow night, and play-goers arelooking forward to the engagementwith keen delight, since this notedproduction has scored an unqualifiedsuccess in every, city it has visitedon the present tour, and is highlyrecommended by press and publiceverywhere.

The company has been playing aweek's engagement at the DauphineTheatre in New Orleans, and crowd-ed houses were the rule at each per-formance. Speaking of the play andthe manner it which it is presentedby the exceptionally capable and well-balanced cast, the New Orleans Pic-ayune of last Monday says:

"The Gamblers" is one of thestrongest plays seen in New Orleansin several seasons; indeed it mightbe said that it is perhaps the mostpowerful of that class of plays whichdeals with problems, sent out of NewYork in all the days of big produc-tions.

It is thoroughly clinching in itstheme, and very vital in its topic,and the big audience at the Dauphinelast night gave the play a receptionthat its merit deserved.

The blood &f the audience wasmade to tingle Ipre times tltn onceduring the course of the three acts,and a side of life was shown with atouch of realism that made the sev-eral pictures startling in their ef-fectiveness.

READllY FOR SUCAR CROP.Steamship Companies Expect Un-

usually Heavy Movement.

A special New York despatch tothe New Orleans Times-Democrat ofOct. 24 says:

The sugar crop movement duringthe coming season is expected to at-tain bigger proportions than ever, andthe steamship companies having ser-vices to Cuba consequently are mak-ing preparations for extended oper-ations. The homeward cargo activ-ity begins again in December. Sugarhas been sold for next season's de-liveries at an advance of twenty-fiveper cent in prices over last year atthe corresponding dates, and theplanter is expected to reap $200,000,-000 for a record crop, if it should berealized.

The Cuban trade has continuedprosperous and all shipping compa-nies have found ample cargoes. Sosatisfactory has been the operationof the American and Cuban steam-ship line during the fifteei monthsit has been established that the co:l-pany is proposing to put on a week-ly service to Havana and a serviceevery two weeks to the outports.The company has had four vesselsengaged, The Pena Del Rio, TheSanta Clara, The Times, and TheTrafalgar, under time charter. Dur-ing the summer the Santa Clara wastaken off and sent to Mexico to in-augurate a new service to that coun-try. The experiment was so satisfac-tory that the AmeriCan and Cubanhas decided to charter three steam-ers, giving a total tonnage of 12,000.for a regular Mexican service directevery two weeks to Tampico, VeraCruz and Progreso. Arthur R. Lewis,manager of the company, said:

"Our competition has proved thatthere is plenty of freight for all,
