She is perplexed about conditions of
which she cannot speak to any other.
She thinks of the family physician. But
her delicate nature shriuks from the
questions she might be called upon to
answer. And SO without counsel Or lIelp
she drifts along while every day time
tightens the letters of disease.
Young women instinctively know that
certain conditions are abnormal. They
know that heads and backs were not
made to ache. But they do not know
where to turn for relief.
ANY MOTHER WOULD SAY
what almost every mother knows, that
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
best medicine for the cure of wo1nauly
Ills. 1t not only cures headache and
backache but it cures the womanly ills
which cause these pains
VI am so much better since COM
nlenced taking your Favorite Prescrip-
tlon,' writes Miss Jessie Simmons, of
Thurston, Frederick Co., Nd "I am
very much improved in health, and feel
as though had new lease of life. It
was just what needed. Am more than
thankful to you for the kindly interest
you have taken, and hope that others
will find the same benefit from your valu-
able books and medicines that have"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
not offered as cure-all It is woman's
medicine, and it accomplishes perfectly
the cure of womanly diseases. 1t estab-
fishes regularity. 1t dries unhealthy and
offensive drains. 1t heals inflammation
and liberation and cures female weak
ness. 1t is a purely vegetable prep
aration, containing no alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic,
and cannot disagree with the most
delicate constitution.

thing in Bourbonnais except the people
which does stare.
The main road branches into two 81
three twlgs of ways, one becoming la rue
de la Riviere, the other la rue de Peg

walk under the trees in their long black

st. Viateur's college was established in
1866 by the clerics of ST. Viateur, sent
from Joliet, Canada. 1t was the first
French in this country.
But more interesting than the college
and the convent, more interesting than
the history of BourbOnnais are the peo-
pie. AS in all villages, there are some
three or four central characters of inter-
est, SO here. They are Nine. Savoie, Cap
itaine Beirnere and Simon de Lonais
De Lonais is the police officer" His
star Of office is brighter than Jupiter.
He patrols his beat on the sagging porch
of the Legris tavern. The B0urbonnais
people will always keep him in office
"Pourpuoi?" they say; "ah, c'est de
Lonais!
Then. too, he would never arrest any
one! His heart is too good, and that they
like. Once he did lock some tramps up
in the calaboose. but he unlocked them
right off again. The calaboose Is a mite
of bastile, with terrible padlocks and
iron hinges that make noise.
De Lonais looks like a fighting cock
savage, grenadier. He wears a frown,
his gray mustache bristles, he waves his
arms frantically when he sees tramps
"Mon Dieu!' he cries. Mon Dieu!
You!" Then. "Qu'est que taime mieux
faire lei. on bien aller chez, vous?'' And
quite naturally the tramps choose to go
home.
Nine. Savoie lives in the little window
house on la rue de PEng1ise. She is
quick-eyed, tanned and wirv She is the
Sibyl of the village. But bo~.s could not
give the stories in Bourbonnais. It is
never forgotten, especially at night. when
the music of the Misere is chanted in the
chapel of st. Viateur's.

THIN CHILD

If a child is thin, let him
take a little of SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
Some children like it too
well; begin with little. A
half or quarter-teaspoonful is
enough at first, if the stomach
is weak; but increase, as you
find the stomach will bear.
The effect is: the little one
takes on strength; gets hungry;
eats and is happy; gets fat-he
ought to be fat and gets
healthy.
Wen send you little to try if you like.

When the mother is taken from the

The little girl turns anew to her dolls

part OF the last century by three different
philosophers, who developed the idea in

other was Kant, the famous German phi

pnllosophy' and the third was Laplace,

the poor, deposed queen, Marie Antoine

less than that the Sally's return cargo
should consist OF the queen and few Of

other provisions of comfort of residence

Disguised as longshoremen, st. Pry and
his confederates called upoa Capt Clough

plan. 1t was a bold and dangerous one,
but this did not discourage, the sturdy
captain; he was as eager to begin its
carrying. out as were the instigators
themselves, It was not long before the
ships cargo began to come aboard, there
were many purchases for the captain
so called, but could these packages and
cases have been opened and examined
these purchases" would have seemed to
indicate a wild extravaganza, to say the
least. There was furniture of royal make
and most elaborate design, with other
household decorations, and splendid court
gowns much too handsome to be suited
to the simple social requirements of the
Wiscasset DANES, even though they d
belong to the family Of Stephen Clough

License and Prohibition.

per of the w. @. T. u, speaking the
unalterable sentiment of the Vermont
"White Ribboners:''
Under prohibition the penalties ren-
der tae traffic improbable and uncom
Portable to those who violate the law,
Under any run of license The penal
ties must be the same to be effective.
But, in fact, they haze been the same
and never have been Effective. Every
body who has any knowledge OF the
matter knows that license laws are not
and never haze been enforced, For no
consideration will we consent to give
legal standing and protection TO the
liquor trafi Ii like gambling, steal
ing, burglary, arson and murder, the
evils of the liquor traffic continue in
spite OF prohibition, let it be IN uiolation

victims of his victim. The evidence
of the condition of society under the
license system furnished by commun-
tiles that shut on Vermont is q com
plete answer to the arguments of the
supporters of license in resp c. of it's
advantages over prohibition.
Does any man in hs senses, does
any legal voter Whose name gives I'M
warrantable authority and sanction 10
petitions for the enactment of the bill
now before this L giaiature, contend
that the rising generations of legal vo-
tiers will come INFO the xercise OF the
suffrage so well prepared for it's duties
aud spopsibiliues, ii tho open saloon
is legalized in every community in
Vermont? What are the probabilities
in such case? Are The banks, insur-
surance companies, manufacturers,
merchants, railway corporations Of thi.
city Of Montpelier persuaded that
higher degree Of integrity, greater eff
iciency in service, more -uOstantial
ground Tor abiding confidence III the
young men they employ, would result
from legalizing the sale oil liquor IN
eight or ten places-mOre or Lesson
the principal streets of the city?
To suggest these il quiries is 20 answer
them mphatically in the negative. The
existence of these places, in all the
glory and glitter and linsel of the open
and legalized saloon, is a perpetual iu-
vitation to drink. The existing condi-
tions under the prohibliory system,
even if its imperfec,ions were tenfod
greater than the most rabid anti pro-
hibitionist has declared them 10 be, is
infinitely to be preferred. And what
is true of Montpelier, in a greater or
lesser degree is true of every commu.
nifty in Vermont.
The proper preparation OF the legal
vo.er of the future for bis duties impe-
atively demands OF the legal voter and
lawmaker of the present that he put this
proposition to change the system of reg
ulating the liquor traffic firmly under
his feet and trample upon it. This de-
mand is reinforced by every considera
ton of mercy to the wives and children
of the legal voters of the future, that
they be not made the unnecessary sub
jects of the sufferings and disgrace, or
the victims of the brutal or murderous
violence that are directly and indubi-
tably attributable to intemperance.

resenlatives should suffer each to come
along to the larger body polite for
the careful consideration and discus
sion of its merits or dement's.
Senators do not necessarily commit
themselves to approval of these amend
ments, singly or collectively, by agree
ing by the constitutional majority of u
two thirds vote to propose them to the
House Of presentatives, and the
members of the latter body, by concur
ring, simply agree to pass the amend
ments along to the people fer public
discussion aud consideration. The pro-
cess is practically the same as the intro
duction and first readirg Of bill and
ito reference TO the proper body for con-
sideration and report. BY such action
no member commits himself TO the sup
port of the bill. That is matter that
comes later. The people ought to nave
the privilege to consider and debate, in
its preliminary stages, any rational pro-
poeal of amendment. After this comes
the election of new Legislature, and
that. body takes up the more serious
business of considering proposed
amendment with direct reference to its
final adoption. Even if the Senate and
House concur in adopting the amend
ment, the final act which makes it q
part of the fundamental law of the
State.is with the people. The amend
ment must next pass the ordeal Of
popular vote.
There is merit in each OF the pro-
posed amendments now before the
Senate. The people would very much
like to have them up for tangible con-
sideratioD. This they canuot give I'M
less the Senate and House agree to pass
the proposals along to the public. Tie
propriety and wisdom of such action is
strongly enforced by the fact that, de-
MED the privilege now,it will not again
become accessible until 1910, and there
can be little individual or public inter
est in q matter that cannot be touched
for ten years A wise aud intelligent
regard for the general welfare, due
con sideraiion for the important inter-
ests involved in government by the
people, suggest that these proposals of
amendment, or any others OF a rational
character, receive the favorable action
of both houses of the General Assem-
bly,.
