Connecticut Women Are Finding Re-
 lief At Last.

It does seem that women have more than fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches and kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys we'll and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only. that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. '.:
 Mrs Selina Jones of 200 Main St., Ansonia, Conn.,, says: "I think if it had not been for Doan's Kidney Pills 1 would not be alive to-day. Seven years ago 1 was in such a bad condition with pains and aches across my back and other weakness that was obliged to keep to my room, and was at times confined to my bed for six weeks before I could get around. Seeing Doan's Kid ney Pills advertised I began taking them and inside of a week the terrific backache, pains and soreness across the Joins and the headaches had vanished as we'll as the feeling of general weak ness and languor. The kidney weak ness was also corrected and the dizzy spells had disappeared. 1 strongly en- dorse the claims made for Doan's Kid ney Pills"

BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

An interesting baseball game was played between Hotchkissvil!e anc Bridgewater on the home grounds, July Il. which resulted in victory for the home team, to z. Up to the Eth inning, the score was ' to 2 in favor of Hotchkissville; the home team then started a batting rally, scoring 6 runs making the score 8 to T, which was enough to win the game, as Hotchkiss- vile was unable to score in the last two innings. The features of the game were the pitching of Beardsley and the fielding of Pitcher on 2nd base, who ac- cepted every chance without an error. Hotchkissville played a clean game and the umpiring of MT Williams was en- tirely satisfactory. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd of rooters on hand to cheer the home team.

 The dry weather conditions have be- come severe enough even for the hay makers. All crops are suffering but potatoes are just now receiving the most injury as the dry weather blight is already beginning to show itself in some pieces. The deficiency of rain fall covers the whole of June when only 1.58 in. fell, the normal for the month being about in. Thus far July is still more deficient with only one half an inch so far where there should have been over two.

 Having has been rushed for the last ten days and many are now through though there is much to get yet. The crop so far has been secured in an un- usually fine condition as there has been none wet by rains as none have fallen.

A r1NANCrER.

The Savannah Press calls attention to an episode in the life of James S. Sherman, Republican nominee for Vice. President. which is worth remember ing. Most readers. when their mem- ories are refreshed. will call to mind the extra session of Congress called by Roosevelt in the fall of 1908, and of the talk that came of one feature of 1t. The Congress was in this extra session at 1s o'clock, noon. on the first Monday in December. when the law preseribes that the regular session of Congress shall begin. The extra session. as The Press remarks. passed into the regular session without the intervention of day. an hour. min ute or a zecond. The members did not go from Washington to their homes and return again; they did not even go from the capitol to their hotels or res- idences in Washington. They just sat stilI in their seats while the extra session gave place to the regular ses- Rion.'
 If there. had been a recess between the two sessions. and the members had gone to their homes and returned for the regular session they would have been entitled to receive the regular mileage both ways. but as Is known there was no sppreeiabIe space of time between the two sessions and the members had not time to leave the hall. much less to go home and re- turn.
 But some of the Congressmen were hard up. which seems to be the normal condition of many of them. and wanted a little extra money. How were they to get it out of the treasury was the question. Then the brilliant mind of Mr. sherman conceived the idea of a constructive recess" If there was a recess between the two sessions the members might go home and come back. might they not? As there was no actual recess. the idea of con. Structive recess and constructive trips home entitled them to their mileage was the way they reasoned 1t out, and this absurd proposition was actually carried through the House Here fl the way Congressman Sherman spoks to the House on the subject:
 wish to say, in answer to the sug. gestion of my disting nguished colleague from the Borough of Brooklyn (AIr Baker) that neither on this proposi- ton nor any other which I have evel offered in this House, am I afraid tc stand upon my feet and say that an in favor of It. And I have never hat any doubt about the legal right tc draw the money, never had any doubt, and have none now, about oul moral right to draw the money.

 The June elections in Oregon are abolished by the recent referendum vote, and hereafter they will be merged with the elections in November. The tendency throughout the country has been in this direction for years past. The October elections in Ohio and In- diana were formerly of great political importance in Presidential years. as forecasts Of the probable outcome of the battle in November. and they were finally abandoned because of the in- rnense stimulus they gave in those States to the corruption of the eleeto~ rate,
 Maine and Vermont are now the only Northern States that still hold State elections earlier than the Federal. Tn September next Maine and Vermont. as usual, will choose State ofioers. Tn the South a number of States will continue to have their State elSAions compare lively early. but in the North the, ten- dency to merge them with the elections in November has now become so strong that in a short time, probably, the June, September. and october pointers on the drift of public opinion in Presidential years may be swept entirely away. There Is no disposition manifest here in Maine. however, to do away with the September election just yet.
