BILLS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Mr.. Anderson has introduced in the
Virginia Senate bills to provide for
changing the boundaries of wards in
cities and for increasing or diminishing
the number thereof, and to provide for
the representation of the several wards
of cities in the councils thereof and for
the apportionment of such representation.
The following is the full text of the bills:
/. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia, That in each city
of this commonwealth there shall be as
many wards as the city council may
establish; provided, however, that
whenever by the last United States
census or other enumeration made by
authority of the city council, or of the
General Assembly, it shall appear that
the population in any ward exceeds
that of any other ward by as much as
three thousand inhabitants, or whenever
in the opinion of the council it is
necessary, or whenever the corporate
limits of the city shall be extended or
contracted, it shall be the duty of the
city council to redistrict the city into
wards, or so change the boundaries of
existing wards, or so increase or
diminish the number of wards as that no
one ward shall exceed any other ward in
population by more than three thousand
inhabitants. A mandamus shall lie on
behalf of any citizen to compel the per-
Torrance by the council of the duty so
prescribed This act shall be in force
from its passage.
] Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia, That each and every
ward in city shall be entitled to equal
representation as far as practicable in
each branch of the council thereof in pro-
portion to the population of such
ward. In determining such popula-
ton the council shall be gov
erned by the last United States census
or such other enumeration as may beau
thorized by the council or by the General
Assembly. 1t shall be the duty of the
several councils of the cities of this COM
monwealth, in the year nineteen hun
dred and three and every tenth year there
after, and also whenever the boundaries
of the wards of the city are changed, to
reapportion the representation in the
council in the manner herein provided
: mandamus shall lie on behalf of any
citizen to compel the performance by the
council of the duty so prescribed.
2 This act shall be in force from its
passage.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are-so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The % cents size
has just been introduced this year.

THE DISAPPOINTMENT of Mr.. Ad-
dicks man, Mr.. Byrne, as U. S. Attor-
ney of Delaware, brought upon the
President such torrent of disapproyal,
even from men and newspapers of his
own party, that he was compelled to
make an official statement to the effect
that Mr.. Byrne's appointment was a
personal one with him entirely and
had nothing to do with recognizing the
Addicks faction in that State. Adj
dicks and his methods have been shown
in such a repulsive manner by reputable
republicans that the President was forced
to crawfsh and is now in a dilemma as
to the federal patronage of Delaware.
Addicks controls more votes than his re-
publican opponents but cannot secure
clear majority in his State, even by the
most corrupt methods which he freely
uses, so is not in a position to force his
demands upon the President. The latter
must devise some plan of distributing
the patronage that will do away with
tie idea of favoring one or the other of
the factions, so the probability is that
he will withhold Delaware appointments
until the legislature of that State meets
in January and decides what it will do
about the two Scholarships. If the
democrats and anti-Addicks republicans
unite and divide the two Scholarships,
one to each party, there would be re-
publican Senator from the State, who
would naturally claim the patronage, re-
gardless of the fact that he had been
elected largely by democratic votes. 1t
is not believed that the two republican
factions have the slightest expectation
of getting together and electing two
Senator'S of republican faith. The COM
bination most looked for is between the
democrats and anti-Addicks republicans
and division of the Scholarships.

Venezuela and the Monroe Doctrine

Birmingham, Eng. Nov. 2S.-The Post
today says that Great Britain andGermany
will act Jointly in collecting their claims
against Venezuela. The paper adds:
''There appears to be a hope that Presi-

the United States against the countries
ON the ground that violation of the
Monroe doctrine is being committed.
But the Washington government, though
very tenacious on that head, are not
likely to be prepared under the present

BRYAN ON CANNON. Mr.. Bryan's
comment on Cannon's success in the
Speakership contest is biting in its sar-
casm. He says:
"'Uncle Joe is simply republican;
he is perfectly satisfied with the re-
publican party. He has implicit faith
that the crops will be good when the
republican party is in power; that prices
will be high to those who want high
prices, and low to those who want low
prices, provided republican rule is not
disturbed. There is nothing that he
wants to reform, and, therefore, he does
not have to worry about platforms or
promises. He is the natural and logical
candidate of those who accept Mr..
Hanna's doctrine of 1et well enough
alone. If he is chosen Speaker, as now
seems certain, we may count on the re-
publicans adopting policy of mastery
inactivity"

The stomach controls the man. It governs
him both physically and mentally. The man
is just what his stomach makes him. When
the stomach is right, the man is all right;
he feels good, he is happy, he is cheerful, the
world to him is all sunshine.
When the stomach is wrong the man is
all wrong. He is out Of sorts, he is nervous,
he is irritable, he is gloomy and respondent,
he is cranky. His general disposition is
such that nobody wants to have anything
to do with him.
The stomach is the organ on which the
whole human system must depend for sub
sistence and existence. II the stomach
fails, then hat is TO become OF the rest of
the body? Where Goes the force Of life
conefrOm? Doesn't it come largely from the
food? You know that if you stop eating, you
will die. But the mere eating of food does
not give life. Food can no more give life with
out digestion than coal can give heat with
out combustion. 1t is not what we eat but
what we digest that keeps up the motor
force of the body.
Undigested food is not only useless but
harmful. It ferments and decays in the
stomach, the evidence Of which you have in
the distress you experience, that feeling Of
f%ullness, especially after eating, fatulence
