The validity of the law prohibit
ing the transmission of lottery tick
cts or lottery literature through
the mails was recently passed
upon by the United States Su-
preme Court, in two cases. The
court, in opinions delivered by
Justices Harlan and Holmes, fully
sustained the constitutionality of
the act of 1895, the contention
having been that the suppression
of lotteries belongs to the police
powers of the several states, and
not to the federal government.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Notice is hereby given that the
custom hitherto in vogue of haul
ing and dumping debris and all
kinds of refuse from private yards
or other property by citizens of
the town of Franklin or of the
Parish, into the district known as
the Old Fort is contrary to law
and must be discontinued at once.
Anyone discovered to be using this
place or any locality in the Parish
as dumping ground will be pro-
secuted as the law directs. This
measure is taken by reason of the
fact that the constant accumula-
ton of every character of refuse
matter in the locality named (The
Old Fort) has become a menace
to public health, and a serious
nuisance in every way.

Chairman Parish Board of
Health.

TIRED OF WAR.
Twelve Hundred British Army Officers
Have Resigned.

The war Office is face to face Will Il
difficult problem, for fully 1900 officers of
all grades have either rendered their res
ignation from the service o. have Sigii-
ned their intention of sending in their pa
perS.
This does not imply that there is
strike of officers. 1t is merely due TO the
fact that for nearly three ycars-siHCc
tn beginning of the late war in South
Afrlca~-none of the officers of the regu-
lar army who were physically and met-
tally INT were permitted 10 resign their
commissions. But even in times of peace
it is not usual for 400 officers Chat is the
proportion per year i'll this case) TO tire
of the service yearly, and in many in
stances forfeit well-earned gratuities and
pensions.
The unofficial explanation for the large
number of retircments is that many
militia and yeomanry officers who IN the
ordinary course would have passed into
the army have had quite enough of ac-
tual soldering TO prevent them having
any further desire to shine as disciples
Of Mars, while many other are stated To
be dissatisfied with the chances OF pro-
motion now that period of peace stag
nation is about to set in.
Again, there are many officers in the
higher ranks from long service captains
upward, who prefer now to take their
sum. Many OF these would probably
have resigned during the past three years
if there had been peace, and it is now
unfortunate for the service that they
should all seek retirement at once
In the cavalry in particular the dcfcc-
tons will be kccnly felt, for it has been
exceedingly hard to find young officers
with sufficient means to take commissions
in the mounted regiments
\ good many regular officers who have
been attached 10 volunteer regiments ut
home, and whose five years time has OK
PRED, have had uuasked-for extensions
awarded to them owing 10 the fact that
there were no officers available To take
their places. 1t was hoped thut the
gradually returning army from South
Africa would be able to supply the neccs-
sary relefs, but in view of the heavy list
Of designations it is likely that the yoiuu-
tcer adjutants will find their terms Of
service still further extended.
The Duke Of Westminster, it will be
remembered, was one of the few officers
who were allowed to resign durinS the
war. He sent in his papers when hc sue
cecded TO the dukedom.-London Ex-
press.

ARE BUNDLE OF NERVES.
Many Women Are Affected-Have Lest
Sweet Placidity of COun-
tenance

''She is simply a bundle of nerves" is
"a remark frequently made regarding
some woman who happens to be the
subject of conversation among a party
of her acquaintance. Unfortunately.
the women to whom the remark applies
are not exceptional. There are thou
sands of them. Nerves belong Darticu
larry to those women who lead what
might be called strenuous life. Not so
many women are afflicted who are living
out their existence in a more humdrum
fashion. Especially are nerves found
among women who are employed in n
business capacity. To begin with, the
the majority are criininally careless.
Women have been known to attemnt

and toast or n cup of chocolate and
bowl of milk for luncheon. Frequently
You have seen party of girls making
their luncheon on ice cream soda. They
probably save their lunch money for rib
bons and frills, but they expend ten
times their value in vitality.
If a man tried living on that plan he
would soon collapse physically, but there
is no immediate danger of such
catastrophe, since men care more for
their meals than 30 women.
Another reason for II woman's nromi-
ncnt characteristics is that she never
shields her nerves. They are allowed to
become too sensitive. If she misses a
train she does not sit calmly and wait for
the next one, as she might as well do,
but she sits on the edge of the seat taps
her foot on the floor and il continually on
