The Natural Consequence is Disastrous
Strike.
Overwork and abuse always lead to a
costly strike in the end. It is that way
with your liver. Overwork and abuse it
and it will go on strike-iust stop doing
its work. Then there is trouble. Dizzi-
ness, headache, pain in the chest and back,
constipation, foul taste in the mouth, aching
limbs, and a general weakening and dis
turbance of the whole system. The other
organs have put too much work on the
liver, the liver has stopped work, and the
other organs are all now being punished.
"Biliousness the doctors call it, and
sometimes they give you strong purga-

off than ever when the next attack comes.

Miss Helen Gould was the guest of
honor among the many honorable
guests Of the Y. NJ. g. A. jubilee in
Boston. At the vast meeting on
Wednesday, in the spreading area of
Mechanics Hall, packed to the street,
when the army, the navy and the
woman's auxiliary had the floor, she
was the object of demonstration that
hereditary royalty could never have in
spired, but which swelled around the
real thing like the pillows of the mighty
deep. 1t had been her modest request
that the speakers should make no
reference to her personally, or TO the
deeds of royal munihcence she had
done for soldiers and sailors in
the time of the war with Spain,
and has since been doing with lavish
hand in many good causes. Curtis
Guild was the presiding genius of the
occasion. Gen. Joe Wheeler, Admiral
Watson, Captain Hobson and other
representatives of the army and navy
were among the speakers. In their
I cases the force of discipline was illus
trated-to limited extent--but Mrs.
McAlpine, woman-like, overrode all
orders aud trampled on all restrictions
upon freedom of speech. Mrs. Russell
Sage who had shown by her philan-
thropy how womanly wife may make
amends for the reputed shortcomings
OF husband, was the object of Mrs.
McAlpin's eulogy and the subject of q
fervid demonstration. But when
the speaker began to talk, in
the words of the Herald report
err, "of another young, handsome,
sweet woman who not merely gave OF
her wealth, but of her time and
strength, in the days that followed
Santiago, to the soldiers and sailors, so
sorely in need, the rule went to smash.
She said, in her loudest tones, the for
hidden name-Miss Helen Mile r
Could" The story of the subsequent
proceedings would seem to indicate
that the demonstrations that followed
were akin to those OF national polit-
ical convention when the orator names
the popular candidate. A grateful fea-
ture OF these proceedings was Mr..
Guilds introduction of Capt. Hobson.
His happy reference to the young offlc-
er's fred badge of courage" stirred the
patriotic spirit Of the great assemblage,
and when the subject of his introduce
ton came forward to speak he was CIV
en- an ovation that was only second to
the demonstration in Miss Gould's hon

Commenting on the Woodstock Stan

Ne,cS of Burlington says:
"We don't know whether Woodstock
is the richest town in Vermont or not,
but certainly it lays over Burlington,
for our valuation is only about 500
per capita of population"
Montpelier's population, by the re-
cent census, was 6,266. The city's
valuation, by the late appraisal of the
listers, was S5,143.915, or 1921 per
capita, which seems to clay over" the
Queen city's to the extent of about
1921. Data for further comparison is

HORRIBLE TALE
FROM JUNGLES
Barbarities Practlced on Natives in
Congo Free State Past
Belief.
Try Associated Press.l

LONDON, Nov. Edward Canisus,
an American, who recently retired from
the employ of the Congo Free state,
confirms the terrible stories told about
the condition of the natives, especially
in the portions termed the State Domain,
where strangers are seldom admitted.
Canisus, who accompanied Major Lo-
thaire, commander of the Belgian troops,
in the Congo, on his earlier expedition
after rubber, says nine hundred natives
were killed in six weeks during that eX-
petition, while a smaller expedition, COM
manded by Belgian lieutenant, killed
three hundred natives in three weeks.
The district is practically under martial
law, on the strength of which such end
less babarities are committed that the
natives are absolutely terror-stricken.
Canisus further declares that the So
called punitive expeditions are in reality
rubber squeezing raids. conducted with
such iniquitous methods that the natives
are in constant state of revolt. While
the conditions are somewhat improved
in the territories worked by the con-
cession companies, the lot of the natives
in the State Domain, Canisus declares,
is far worse than before the advent OF
the whites. The natives are practically
forced to work rubber at the muzzses OF
rifles, receiving two cents per pound for
what is sold at IS cents at Antwerp.
Thousands of natives have fled to the
bush and live like wild animals
Along the jungle paths the bodies or
those who have died of starvation are
frequent sights.

Will CONTROL \ IN,
BOTH BRANCHES
Official Count in Maryland Favorable
to Democrats.
CONTEST EXCEEDINGLY CLOSE.
In Som: Instances Members of the LegisIa-
ture Have Malorities of Less Than
Dozen Woes, aud the State
Ticket is in Doubt.

BALTIMORE, MID, Nov. THE super
visors of election in the various counties
Of the State commenced to-day at noon
the official canvass Of the vote cast last
Tuesday, and until it is finished no posi-
tive figures can be given as to the COM
Ilexion of the next Legislature.
It is probable that the count outside Of
the city will be completed by tomorrow,
although at late hour tonight no off
cial reports had been made. It will. re-
quire two or perhaps three days to com
plete the count in Baltimore city. but
enough is known to make it certain, in
the absence Of unexpected changes in the
official count, that the Democrats will con-
troll both branches of the Legislature.
They have elected one and probably two
additional delegates from Baltimore city,
two from Cecil county and possibly one
from Caroline. which have heretofore
been counted in the Republican column.
This will give the Democrats fifty votes
in the House and at least seventeen in
the Senate, or a majority of eleven on
joint ballot.
VERY CLOSE.
The returns thus far received show sew
eral unusually close contests. In Caro-
line county, for instance, Stevens (Repub-
lican) has but one majority over Jefferson
DemocraD In Carroll where an evenly
s divided delegation was CnOSeT twenty
two is the highest majority for the Re-
puplicans. In Cecil the only successful
Republican wins by the narrow margin
of fourteen votes, while in Kent county
the successful Democratic candidate has
but five majority, the successful Republl-
can but twelve, and the two defeated can
didates are tied. In Somerset the sue
cessful Democratic candidate has but
twenty-five majority. In st. Mary twenty
votes give the Democrats their lowest
delegate. In Talbot county the only Re
publican elected has a majority of but
thirty-three, and none of the Democrats
chosen in Baltimore city have to exceed
100 votes to spare
STATE TICKET IN DOUBT.
It will thus be seen that the official
count may make some radical changes in
the makeup Of the lower house, but 1t
is not probable that they will materially
affect the result, as both sides are likely
to suffer equally by it.
It will also require the official vote TO
decide the fate of the State ticket. and the
present Indications are that neither OF
the successful candidates will have ma
jority of 1000, the indications pointing
to the election of Herring OemocraD for
comptroller and Parran Republican Tor
the clerk of the Court of Appeals.
