A disordered stomach may cause nc
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels be.
come deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stom.
ach and liver to healthy condition, aud
for this purpose no better preparation
can be used than Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets. For sale by

A book of postal Instructions recently
issued informs the public of the fact not
perhaps generally known that it is not
allowable to use ''multila,ed" postage
stamps. A stamp that has been acct
dentSlly torn in two is spoiled and may
not legally be placed upon letter to be
mailed, even though the two parts may
be so well adjusted that no one can dis
cover the joining. Such a regulation
nav be good law, though in its iron
clad application it lacks good business
sense to some degree; but if it is enfOrc-
ed, the Cover hmGnt should at least use a
quality of paper for its stamps which is
not as likely, with ordinary care, to tear
across the middle of the stamp as though
the perforations. With some of the
stamps that have been issued during the
past few years, scissors have been
neces~ar TO cut them apart, if one would
be sure of damaging none of them.

Have you noticed that the seventy
first legislature amended one section of
the liquor law into the following form?
But probably it is the printer who is to
blame:
Section S. Whoever shall deposit or have In
his possession intoxicating liquors with intent TO
sell the same In the state In violation OF law. or
with intent that same shall be sold by any per-
son, or to aid or assist any person In such sale.

Henry Watterson addressed the Ham,
ilton Club in Chicago a few days since
on the Negro problem. 1t was an elo-
quent address; it is good to read, and
delivered with the fire of the gallant
Kentuckian it must have reused his
audience to high pitch of enthusiasm.
But after you have read it, and settle
down to consider the solution of the
problem which he suggests, you discover
that that solution is the same as suggest
ed by most other speakers on the same
problem-namely, nothing, except to
wait. He talks distinctly of the past
and it's mistakes, but when he turns to
the future his language becomes glitter
ing generalities.

Some OF the papers nave attributed tne
somewhat lavish expenditures of the
legislature to Rule Is, new rule in
force this session. This provided that
any resolve appropriating money should
before its passage be referred TO the
committee on appropriations and tinan-
cial affairs, so that that comTittee might
keep track of the expenditures and en-
deavor to scale them down if necessary.
The explanation of how this rule worked
to increase the expenditures is pretty
misty, as might be expected. The fact
is the trouble was not with the rules,
but with the suspension of the rules.
That Panama canal is a big under
taking. The number of men that will
be employed on it, with all the machin-
cry that will be used, is thirty thousand,
ard even with that force it is not ex-
pected that Yankee "hustle" will sue
coed in putting the ditch through in less
than eight or ten years.
A newspaper paragraph is floating
around regarding a Maine man who
makes a business of exporting CATO
nine-tails to London, where he finds a
ready market for them. As the para
graph further states that they are used
in upholstery, it is probable that what
is meant is cat-tailS, or, as they are COM
monty called, cat-tail flags. The CATO
nine-tails is whip with nine lashes.
The Maine National Guard is likely to
find that participation in the war game
of the United States army and navy,
under conditions as much as possible like
actual warfare, is a different kind of
picnic from five days camp at Augusta.
The submarine boat Grampus, of the
Holland type, tas succeeded in hitting
a target with torpedo, and the success
of the trial is reported as very pleasing.
II this type of boats should finally be
pronounced success, it will be great
disappointment to naval officers in gen
eral. AS rule they have contemptu-
ously designated the Holland boots,
when they condescended to speak OF
them at all, as ''sinkers."
An exchange, in a short article describ-
ing Saturday nights eclipse, emaIks,
at is interesting to note that the moon
is full on this evening". 1t would be
much more interesting, not to say aston
ishing, to have an eclipse of the moon on
some evening when it was not full.
