Better Than PillS.-rhe question has
been asked, In what way are Chamberlan'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 reliable as they can always
be depended upon. Then they cleanse and
invigOrate the stomach and leave the bowels
in natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often fol
lowed by constipation. For sale by the e..

The high and variable wind of We'd

TENDER FAREWELL
FOUND In BOTTLE
Note Suggests a Possible
Case of Suicide.
Signed by Laura Haslip, and Police
Think 1t May Be

''Good-by to all. / have drowned my

Such is the message which the crew oi
the yacht Gretchen received from the
watery depths yesterday, and the strange
epistle has kept the habitues along the
water front guessing. if only because it
is signed by female.
These words were discovered on a
piece of paper which was found in a
bottle caught floating in the Washington
channel opposite the y Street dock, at
the foot OF Seventh Street, yesterday
afternoon. On the opposite side OF the
paper were a few words. which add in
terest to those scribbled on the front
of the sheet Good-by. Robert. Good
