THE KEY THAT UNLcCKs THE
DOOR TO LONG LIVING

The men of sighty five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund well
fed, but thin, spare men who live on
slender diet. Be as careful as he
will. however. man past middle
age, will occasionally eat too much
or of some article of food not suited
to his constitution and will need a
dose of Chamberlan's Stomch and
Liver Tablets to cleanse and invig-
crate his stomach and regulate his
liver and bowels. When this is done
there is no reason why the average
man should not live to an old age.

The Dividing Of Representation
Statesville Landmark,


A correspondent in the is
sue of The Landmark ofNOv,
20, writing over the sigma
ture of "Subscriber," enters
a protest against any change
of this congressional district
by the next LegIsla ture 40 as
to make it surely Democrat
ic. He contends that inas-
much as the State was rsdis-
tricted by the Legislature Of
1901 with the idea OF making
ten Democratic d istrIc t =
that work should be allo wed
to stand, notwithstanding
there was au error in the cal
culation, which has resulted
in the Republicans capturing
one district. Furthermore

They are mighty fair as they

Modification of the
Grand Trunk Rail
road Contract
The Only Measure Of I'M
portance, the Govern
ment Mas to offer
for Consideration

Ottawa, Ont, March 10.-Parlia.
ment opened this afternoon with the
usual ceremonies. The session prom.
ises to be a lively one, as it is gen.
orally believed it will be the last be-
fore the general election.
The government will press for the
adoption of notifications in the con-
tract with the Grand Trunk Pacific,
for the construction of the transconti.
mental railroad The Grand Trunk peo-
pie have decided that they cannot
undertake the construction of the
road without some notifications of
the terms agreed upon last session.
The opposition is preparing to vigor-
ously fight the demands OF the rail
road and the outcome remains to be
seen.
Beyond these proposed modifica-
tions in the Grand Trunk Pacific con-
tract and the estimates, the govern
ment has nothing of Importance to
present to parliament. Consequently,
so far as the governments program
is concerned, the session should be
a short one. But whether such will
be the case is a question of doubt.
The opposition may find It expident
for the education Of the electorate, to
force a general and exhaustive dis
cussion Of the entire fiscal policy of
the inistration-which might pro-
long the session for many weeks. It
is regarded as a possibility also that
reciprocity and inter-imperial trade
may come up, in connection with the
tariff The Premier's suggestion, to-
wards the close of last session, that
Canada should be granted the treaty
making power may also very pos
sibly be discussed.
The question Of inducing Newfound-
land to enter confederation has been
a good deal before the country of late,
and has attracted much attention
among the people. Proposals for an.
nexation must come from Canada
and not Newfoundland, and it is re.
garded as possible that the question
may be taken up at the present ses-
sion and that something definite may
result.
The acquisition Of Greenland, and
st. Pierre and Miquolon, may also
come before parliament for discus
sion, as well as other minor matters
that have been engaging public at.

OF THE

state dental board who had not been

executive committee of the society

Governor Chamberlain, in speaking
of this matter yesterday, said that
he had considered the recent appoint.

that he had exercised his best judg-

board. He said:
"The Dental society recommended
six names and out of this list was
to appoint two members of the board.
They ignored Eastern Oregon, and
thought that Eastern Oregon was
entitled to representation on the
board. Most Of the men recommended
were Portland dentists, and ap-
