The question has been asked, 'In
what way are Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets superior to
pills?" Our anwer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take,
more mlld 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 condi-
ton. while pills are more harsh in
effect and their use is often followed

The wOrkinsins Woman and the
Ballot.

Woman has entered the Industrial
field and remains there through the
compulsion Of changed circumstances.
AS competitor she Invariably lowers
wages she must work for less than
man in certain social conditions. In
short, without vote to protect her
wages and property she can never
hope to ask for equal wages for equal
work with a man, and thus maintain
the scale Of a living wage With a
vote she can hope to do so, and there
fore all thinking trades unionists are

The strawberry and ice cream
social held last Thursday evening
was a success in every way. Some

these social gatherings is the man
ner in which members of the other
churches of the village are brought
together. 1t makes us feel the es.

The escape Of Grether and Aiello

Sunday morning appears to have re-
suited from gross carelessness and
neglect OF duty on the part of sher-
iff Merwine and bis assistants, who
were men of his selection. He had
been frequently warned as to the
desperate cunning Of Grether and
requested to exercise especial care
in guarding him. If the jail was

came in yesterday read as follows, the
signer's name being withheld for OBJ
