Acquit Her In the Senate.
There was something II breeze when
Call presented a joint resolution concern
ing the imprisonment OF Mrs Maybrick,
and requesting that the president inter-
vene with the British authorities towards
securing her release. THAT ought not to
be introduced here and move to lay the
resolution on the table" interposed Sher-
man. "rhc senate of the United States
has no jurisdiction over the subject"
Call dissented from this proposition and
said he would insist on a vote on it. The
resolution was responsive, he said, to a
wide public sentiment in this country,
and there was nothing in it discourteous
toward Great Britain. He thought the
course proposed by Sherman an arbitrary
one.
Sherman insisted on his motion to table.
He said he happened to be in England
when Mrs Maybrick was convicted, and
there was much difference OF opinion on
the question whether she ought to be con-
victed. But certainly it was not a subject
to be brought here. On a viva voce vote
Sser:=&s motion appsared to prevail

Use Less Soap by Using
Harmless; two pounds washes as much a

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, 1t needs help. The help 1t needs ia to
digest your food, and, until 1t gets 1t, you
won't have any peace. Stomach trouble
Is very distressing, very obstinate, very
dangerous. Many OF the most dangerous
diseases begin with simple indigestion.
The reason is that indigestion (not- diges-
ton, not nourishment) weakens the sys.
tenn and allows disease germs to attack 1t.
The antidote Is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative. II
cures indigestion and renews strength and
health. IL does this by strengthening the
stomach by helping 1t to digest your food.
IT nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial is made OF pure herbs, plants and
