make no recommendations to congress
upon the subject of postal savings

and inviting opinions from callers rep

has heard much for and much against
the proposition. He does not feel,
with the information he has so far re-

fore he is at present inclined to ignore
the matter, although the postmaster
generals report strongly favors such

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The oft-agi-
tated question of establishing in the
city of Washington great national
university on the lines suggested by
President Washington has taken more
definite form than in the past and a
number of representative women have
taken hold of the project with de-
termination to push it to successful
conclusion if possible. They have
started out in practical manner by
seeking to raise the first $3.50, 900 nee
essary for the erection of an admins
tration building to form the nucleus
of the university and hope to be able
to lay the corner stone on February
%, 1899. Their purpose in the interim
is to urge the matter continuously on
the attention of women all over the
country. They intend likewise to in
terest all the school children in the
work. AS first step for awakening
interest in the undertaking they will
assemble in convention in Washington
on December IA to decide on ways and
means for arousing public interest.

In stubborn cases of dyspepsia, liver troubles and constipation Wills
English Pills can be relied on to correct the deranged condton-whhout
weakening the system.
Don't betue those symptoms of dSordered liver and stomach; that
constant feeling of WEAKNESS, those recurring headaches, the bad taste in tho
mouth, especially upon Weakening, the heartburn, or the constipation and
weakness. These things kill more people than diseases that are more alarming
at first sight, because they grow steadily and seathly worse when neglected and
end in some fatal organic disease.
If you have frequent headaches or your bowels are not regular, you
know that it is the liver at fault.
Sick headaches disappear IS soon as the torpid condition of the liver
is remedied.
Wills English Pills do this to perfection. Unlike all other pHs,
they do not in the least weaken. BiiouSness and consfpated habit
rapidly undermine the health. Unless speedily relieved the digestive
organs become seriously affected. Many troubles arise from liver inactivity
and constipation.
