BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, SIN
what way are Chamberlain S Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?''
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild
and gentle in effect and more reli-
able as they can always be depend
ed upon. Then to cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect and
their use is often followed by con-
stipation. For sale by Greenwich &
Drury, Leonardtown.
Its too bad about those crullers

Why?" asked his wife, quickly.
Well, replied the husband,

from handling the compositions.
Every stage OF making the signal lights
Is hand work.
The employees in this feminine establish
ment have simple tasks Of great variety,
but Intelligence and nimble fingers are neS-
essary requirements.
The superintendent, particularly, must be
a woman on whom Mrs. Coston can rely
absolutely, for she shoulders the response
hility Of the manufacturing. while Mrs. Co.'S
ton attends to the business end OF things
in her New York Office.
The superintendent employs from sixteen
to twenty women, who work under her per-
sonal supervision in two rooms Of the house.
Each employe is taught every stage OF the
process, and must learn to do one part as
well as another.
This gives a pleasant variety to the work.
From start to finish, the signal light is
handled in this workroom twelve times.
Finished, it seems to be merely a small
black roller s inches long. with a knob on
the end.
Only one color or one combination of
colors is worked on at Q time.
This Is to avoid any possibility of mis-
take.
If the days order Is for distress signals,
red-white-red is the composition brought by
the superintendent into the workroom and
placed in boxes ready for use.
The first process consists of making the
paper cases which hold the composition.
This is done by cutting strips of brown
paper an equal length and width, rubbing
paste on the ends and winding them over a
roller to glue them into shape.
These cases are then filed with compose
ton put in by means of a little scoop and
packed by a pressing machine. the machine
being manipulated by hand.

Bold conventional designs. medieval or
