BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, SIN what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver
Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer
is: They are easier and more pleasant
to take, more mild and gentle in effect
and more reliable as they can always be
depended upon. Then they cleanse and
invigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in a natural condition, while pills
are more harsh in effect and their use il
often followed by constipation. Fol

The Roosevelts are the people to upset
mouldy traditions. Mrs. Roosevelt has
almost shocked Washington society by
having her cards engraved Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt" That is her name, to
be sure, and shows just who the owner
of the card is, but the fad of society has
for long time dictated that lady's
card shall be Mrs. Jones" unless there
is great danger that she may be mistaken
for some one else to whom the title
strictly belongs, in which case the card
may be Mrs. John Jones'" To such a
pass has the application of the rule been
carried that few years since Newport
society was shaken to its centre by a
dispute over the question of which lady
was entitled to be MRS. Aston and one
of the mesdames Vanderbilt has recently
attempted to have MRS. Vanderbilt
copyrighted, so that her legal right to
the title may be unquestiOned. Mrs.
Roosevelt has done the entirely sensible
thing in the matter; but it is doubtful
if the people to whom social custom is
supreme law can see it in that light.

HERE AND THERE.

The president of Northwestern Uni
versity, in an address TO the trustees
practically in the form of an argument
against co-educatioD, makes this start
ling statement: THE number of women
is increasing relatively more rapidly in
proportion than the number of men, and
if the present rate should continue for
another decade the women would form
considerably more than half of the total
number of Students condition which
many friends of the university would
view with concern" That would indeed
be horrible. Co-education must go.

After the lapse of three years and a
half, William T. Treworgy of Bucksport
has been indicted for the murder OF
Sarah Ware in 1898. This somewhat
celebrated case has been the subject OF
more agitation with less result than
almost any other affair in the recent
history of Maine. Treworgy was once
before arrested, the only witness against
him being a man of inferior intellect
This man a day or two afterward re-
tracted This testimony, and though he
afterward made several re-retractions,
Treworgy was discharged. Treworgy's
trial is expected to begin May 9th.
