A DistinctiOn.

In their notices of the late Father Lee, who was Franciscan, many of the state newspapers called him "monk". This is technically inaccurate. The members of the four great mendicant orders, viz: the Dominicans. Francis. cans or Friars Minors, Augustinians and Carmelites, are "friars'. The term "monk" is restricted to the Benedict inee, Cistercians and others of that character, who as general rule occupy themselves within the precincts of their monastic establishments. Other orders like the Jesuits and Paulists, for in- stance, whose main business is preach ing and teaching, are called technically "clerks regulars"

A Dangerous Game. .

Football has come to be very dan gerous game. It is really far more dangerous than prize fighting which IS forbidden in nearly every state in the union unaer heavy penalties. Within one week recently six or seven young men had been killed outright or fatally injured in football games in this coun- try. The recent death of young man from injuries received in this game in Georgia has been followed by the pas sage of bill in the lower house of the legislature of that state prohibiting games of football where admission is are charged. Uunless the rules are modi- fled so as to prevent the brutal and dan gerous features of this game similar laws will be passed in all the states. It seems to us that football, which is a fine, manly game, can be just as much so without the features which make it dangerous and brutal.

To illustrate why we cut out notices of church and other society suppers, entertainments, etc. from our town cor respondenee we will relate an incident of this week. A AChurch society in neigh. boring village got up . supper. They had dollar or 70 to spend for job printing. They paid it to a job printer for dodgers. They then got our core apondent to send notice of the supper 10 the NEWS to publish free of charge. We did not get the dollar for the job printing and the church did not get the notice. Ask yourself if we are at all obligated to publish the free notice. Why not send the free notice to the printer that got the dollar? If the money had been sent to us we would have given the notice and printed cer- tainly e good . dodger. Our position is surely in harmony with the ideas oi business and fair play.

 Dig down to the cause of your sick ness, If you want to get well and stay well. Most likely it's indigestion. The irritating poisons of fermenting. putrid food. left in the stomach by indigestion cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness dizziness. stomach ache, nausea. irrits bility, and all the other we'll knowr symptoms of indigestion.
 They also cause many pains and dis orders which are often laid to othel causes and hence are not easily cured But as soon as the poisons are rem owed all these symptoms and disorders dis appear, because there is nothing left tC cause them. Nothing succeeds in tbi, like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it prevents the undigested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest its food.

AN ITEM OF INTEREST.

An Item ofInterest from East Norwalk
 May Explain Why the Reader Knows
 Considerable and Does Not Know
 Everything.
 What we acquire easily we generally part with readily; what costs us physi- cal or mental effort we, as rule, hang On to tenaceously. No one is better authority on this question than our pub. lie school teachers. Many time it must have puzzled them what to do with great many of their pupils. how to get knowledge into their heads is the difficulty, but once in, if they examine the thick skulled receptacles of their pupils they will find solid and substan- tial reason why the knowledge cannot get out. It is the same with Doan's Kidney Pills; how to account for the work they do is puzzier, but every man who uses them can always give solid and substantial reasons for his es- innate of their merit. Mir F. s. Lyon. of 22 High St, D. Norwalk, Conn, an ex-teacher who was in harness for near ly quarter of a century fin that city, says !: "A slight urinary trouble accom- panied by backache attacked me from the re- suit of a cold which l caught at an en- tertainment about two years ago. It hung for few days and looked around for some medicinal preparation which would remove it. After reading quite a few testimonials about panaceas and cure-alls for the kidneys, selected Doan's Kidney Pills. It did not require a box to remove all the difficulty. I have heard in Norwalk of over score of people who have used this remedy and ot tained the same result as have obtained"

Dr Prince A. Morrow. in recent number of the North American Review, counsels against nasty action in the mat ter of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands on the score of the leprosy pre- vailing there. The doctor says that there arc 1,250 lepers at the settlement on Molokai and probably two or three times that number afflicted with the di- sease in it's incipient stages, but capable of transmitting it, at large on the islands. The disease is not easily recognized and in the event of annexation it would be much easier for lepers to come to this country than it now is, and many would be likely to take this step to avoid be- ing sent to Molokai. Consequently shere would be great danger of this dread dissase becoming prevalent in this country.

Two Views.

One of our newspaper representatives has been around in the adjoining towns and has been gathering material tor a report on the outlook of the times. His report to us is that there are two ways of looking at it. For instance in one of our neighboring towns: Build ings going up; carpenters, stone masons, tesmsters and day laborers busy. That looks like prosperity. On the other hand trade is light with merchants, col lections are slow. fewer people in the town, tenements empty. That looks like hard times.
