Legislatures at times do unaccountable
-tA4Hss, and little over n decade ago a
law was placed upon the statute books OF
Vermont which caused not a little merri-
ment in both legal and civic circles. when
II was found that under a strict inter-
probation man could be sentenced for
life for selling liquors. and should he
commit a sufficient number OF liquor
offences he could not outlive the tradi-
tional nlne lives Of a cat except in
durance vile. This curious law was the
incentive for Charles Hoyt's writing of
his most ambitiously satirical farce "A
Temperance Town" which will I'm a few

Imperial theatre by Malcolm Williams
and the Providence Dramatic Stock COM
pany The scene of the farce is laid in

The relation Of the nerves and Qen-
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration. nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of tho
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia

Mrs. NJ. r. shotwell, OF lo3 Flatbush

terday morning when they heard that

driver at the station for many years, was
informed that beginning yesterday morn

an end. and that he would assume the
duties OF janitor OF the station.

for some time. was promoted 10 the posi-
tion held by Sr. Burrows Mr.. Burrows.
