The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as cathartic
medicine, they never leave any Ill
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be comb
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so

The Women Strike 1t Rich,

The American women were getting to be a weak, used-up lot and the young men were getting to the opinion that marriage meant slavery without help; plenty of toiI for the wife and servant girl and very little pleasure in life for themselves. No one could tell the cause Every generation grew weaker-the children inheriting the constitution of the parents. It all seemed to be a breakup of the nerve force. It Is now we'll established opinion among our best physicians that the extreme mental wear from the requirements of civilization has produced it. Now the women have struck the extract of little harmless, tasteless plant favored into . beverage that gives them double en- durancs without harm. It is sold by drug gists and called Moxie Nerve Food.

YALE SEMINARY

Discuss the Sunday Newspaper-Pro- lessor Fisher Addresses she Mission ary Meeting.
 The Junior Deliberative society of Yale
 seminary last Saturday evening discussed the question: Resolved, "That the Sunday News paper Should be Abolished.'' The debate firmatlve, and Mr. D. E. Ghormley on the
 negative. Messrs. Davies, Beard and Bright spoke from the floor. l. proved to be one
 sided question, and from the standpoint of prospective ministers it was unanimously de- cided that the Sunday newspaper was more of an evil than a means of social re- form.
 A regular missionary meeting of Yale sen- mary last night was addressed by Professor Fisher. "What course would one take who
 should find himself in foreign country with foreign peoplea There one would find a long established religion of some sort We might regard that religion as piece of human folly. But there is a more important view. A missionary should look at the
 heathen as the apostle Paul did. He did not
 begin by sneering at their religion, nor abus-
 ing them, but he sought to win their con- Adence. This he did with sincerity and not with rhetorical purpose. He saw in their polytheistic religions Q search for God, and
 hence he tried to draw them on from that
 peint to find the true God So modern mis-
 sionaries should take this point of view and try to detect those clements which signify
 this search for God, and build on that founda-
 ton. There are very few religions that have not much in them of a disclosure of God to the
 minds of men. Nowadays the religions of
 the world are studied comparatively and sym
 pathetically so that we may find this attempt in them of searching for God. There are many obstacles in all missionary work, but as Canon Liddon has said, there are three facts on which we can depend, namely, sin, sorrow and death.' These three facts are recognized in all heathen religions. Chris tianity comes into the world recognizing
 these facts. The evils of the world are pre-
 sented in their full weight and awfulness, yet Christ comes to deliver men from all these evils"

THAT NEW ALmsmowsE.

Tha Seleetmen and Citfzens' Commit.
 tee Again Wrestling With the Ques.
 Gl0m.
 After an interval of eight months, during
 which time the highest legal tribunal in
 Connecticut has dealt with the matter, the
 board of selectmen and the citizens building
 committee have again faced the problem of
 getting the new almshouse in process of con-
 struction. The joint committee met yester-
 day afternoon at four o'clock in the town
 agents office, the selectmen present being
 Messrs. Reynolds, Kenke, Brown and
 Hughes, and of the citizens committee
 Judge Morris, John P. Futile, H. M. Welch
 and Henry c. White were on hand. Judge
 Morris presided, with Henry 0. White as
 secretary. MT. Reynolds explained the req
 son of the delay in bringing the joint com
 mittee together after the decision of the Su- preme court, which was owing to the sick ness and absence of members. After some preliminary talk and consideration of the Supreme court decision Selectman Klenke made Q motion that the carpenter work be awarded to Larkins 6 Langley as the lowest individual bidders in accordance with the meaning of the advertisements calling fo1 proposals Mr. Welch thought it advisable to make haste slowly, and to have a larger representation of the joint committee togeth- CT before making the awards. In reply to Mr. Futile, Judge Morris gave his interpre tation of the Supreme courts decision to be that the bids could not, under the existing circumstances, be awarded otherwise than to the Tracy Brothers without the award being \ ratified by the town; that is, that as the agents of the town the joint committee could award the contract only to the lowest responsible bidders, who, under the adver. \ tisement, were the Tracy brothers. If Lar kins 6 Langley, or the other New Haver bidders, as the bids now stand, were award \ ed the contract, they could not collect theil \ money unless the awards were ratified by tht | town itself. Hence it seemed to him that \ in the present state of the case. and under the advertisement on which the bids now stand presented, the members of the com | mittee would leave themselves liable indi vidually did they award the contract other wise than to the Tracy brothers. This gel \ thought it would be we'll to adjourn over un \ til next Monday afternoon at four o'clock. After the meeting the opinion was ex pressed by some of the gentlemen that tn, committee could throw out all the bids nov \ in and advertise anew, stating in preambl the reasons for the unsatisfactory nature O \ the bids now before them; while other thought the proper way was to have anothe town meeting and begin all over again. Tn, \ meeting next Monday will probably deter mine the future action of the joint committee ' as there would not seem to be any reason fo further delay.
