The curfew ordinance has received a
good deal of newspaper ridicule, yet
it's practical workings have been very
salutary. In abiding to the willing
ness of some of the daily papers tc
poke fun" at Elmira, N. Y, where
the ordinance is in force, the Adver-
tiser of that city declares that the re-
suit Of the enforcement Of the simple
law has been beneficial, and observes,
truly enough: IF large numbers OF
the young can be kept from temptation
and evil courses by so simple a device,
1t is far wiser to try it than to jee1
1t it. 1t is not a laughing matter, but
one of grave moment to the welfare
Of our towns and Cities"

In some of the Swiss valleys the inhabitants
are all afflicted with goitre or "thick neck"
Instead of regarding this deformity they
seem to think it a natural feature of physical
development, and tourists passing through
the valleys are sometimes jeered by the goit-

this offensive swelling. Thus & form of dis
ease may become so common that it is regard
ed as a natural and necessary condition of

called disease of women. Every woman suf-
fers more or less from irregularity, ulcera-

JUDGE LAWRENCE.
Ohio Wool Growers Remember their
President and Adopt Resolutions
on his Death.


Columbus Press-Post, Sept 6.
The Ohio Wool Growers Association
met in the Express building at the State
Fair grounds Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. J. w. Gale, of Guernsey county,
Vice President. Mr. Gale paid beau
tiful tribute to the late Judge William
Lawrence, President of the association,
who died last April, and whose place
has not as yet been filed. In referring
to the deceased Mr.. Gale said he was
fearless, courageous and honest, and al.
ways had the interest of his fellowmer
at heart. He said the association would
look in vain for q man to fill the office
of president in as capable manner as
it was filled by Judge Lawrence. Mr
Gale in his address stated that the pres.
ent Dingley bill was of little benefit tc
the wool growers of the United States
for the protective duty was too small tt
even be considered.
At the conclusion of the vice presi
ed to draft resolutions on the death o.
Judge Lawrence.
The absence of the President wal
keenly felt when it came to drawing NJ
resolutions. For years this duty ha
devolved upon Judge Lawrence, wht
was considered the peer of all in th'
wool growing interest. 1t has been thu
custom to adopt the resolutions that h
formulated and he always had then
ready. This year the question of reso
lutions was never considered until
few minutes before the meeting wa
called.
An expression of sympathy on tn
death of Judge Lawrence was incorpor
ated in the regular resolutions.
The association was unit in the opin
ion that the most essential and neces
sary thing to be done was to select
capable man as a successor to Judg
Lawrence.
Judge Lawrence's successor will nc
be selected until next meeting, whic
is to be held at the State House in Jan
uary
