Maine Gossip
Shoppinq.

Throughout the day she haunts the store
And prices scores of things.
While busy salesgirls set before
Her trinkets, gloves and rings.
She turns them Ger and DER again
And looks them through and through
With much elaboration, then
She hardly thinks they'll do.
Sometimes she goes from shop to shop
Each morn and afternoon
And never seems inclined to stop
Nor with fatigue to swoon.
She asks the price of Irish lace,
OF linen damask, too,
And then remarks, with doubling face,
The styles are scarcely new.
From morn till noon, from noon till night,
She's on her task intent;
She looks at everything in sight,
But doesn't spend cent.
At last with WEAKNESS she signs
And moan's that shopping''s hard
And then with courage high she buys

THE DOCTORS QUESTION Advice against the Use of Harsh PuTgatl,ss
 and Physics.

A doctors first question when consulted by patient is, "are your bowels Tegular?" He knows that ninety-eight per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with noXious gases and waste mat ter which naturally accumulates and which must be removed through the bowels be. fore health can be restored.
 Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated rse of such treatments cause chronic irritation of the stomach and bow els, hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, s;iffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has fatal results.
 We have positive, pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel dis orders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchasers money in every case when it fails to produce entire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk.
 Rexall Orderlies are very pleasant to take, they act quietly and have soothing. strengthening, healing influence on the en- tire intestinal tract. They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, fatulence, excessive looseness, diarrhea or other annoying ef- feet, and they may be taken at any time without any inconvenience.
 Rexall Orderlies overcome the drugging habit and cure constipation and all similar ailments, whether acute or chronic. They axe especially good for children, weak per. sons or old folks. Price, 36 tablets, 7sc, and Iz tablets, Ioc.

The legislature ought to make provisions for the publication of a synopses of the new acts in the papers in each county. It would not cost great deal to have this done, and the public would then be put on notice of new laws which the people are held ac- countable for, and which, under presnt conditions, they have no means of knowing for months after the new law becomes opera tive. If the state can afford to pay ST ,000 a session to furnish members with stamps and daily papers to send out to their con- stituents, it can afford to pay for the publication of a condensed statement of the laws as they are enacted, that the public may be advised in each county as to what they must and must not do.-

PRODUCTS SOUTH
 WANTS TARIFF ON
Sugar, Lumber and Rice Princi- pie Interest Which Those Concerned, Think Should Be Pro.
 tected.

not represented on the subcom- mittee of the Ways and Means Committee, which framed the tariff bill, the Democratic mem- bers of the full committee made every effort during the hearings which preceded the deliberations of the Republican members, to bring out every important fact regarding the articles named in the tariff which are produced in the South.
 TRUST DICTATES SUGAR PRICES.
 The influence of the American Sugar Refining Company, the so- called sugar trust, on the cane sugar industry was discussed by Col. D. D. Colcock of New Orle- ans, representing the New Or leans Sugar Exchange. Mir. Col cock declared that the American Sugar Refining Go. refined about 50 per cent of the sugar refined in this country, and admitted that the company dictates the price which it pays for cane sugar in Louisiana.
 Col COlcock declared that the sugar trust fixes the price at which the jobber sells to the re taller and declared that the meth ods the refining company pur- sues in beating down the price at which they buy the sugar from Louisiana producers are dam nable." Col Colcock favored pro- lection, contending that the greater advantages the reiner has, the more he can afford to pay for the raw sugar.
 OPPOSES RAISE IN PEANUT TARIFF
 On the whole, the tobacco grow CTS of the South expressed satis- faction with the duty on their product.
 The peanut schedule was the  subject for an interesting hear ing, at which Representatives Maynard and Lassiter of Virgin ia and Clark of Florida appeared to support the contentious of var ious peanut growers. The dele gation asked for an increase in the duty on peanuts to } cents pound.
 Champ Clark, the minority leader of the house was not pleas ed with the requests of the pea nut growers. The situation is just this" said Mir. Clark, when we get the Republicans on this Ways and Means Committee in favor of revising the tariff down ward, you come up here and not only get them back to where they were. but lift them out of their shoes"
 BIG LUMBER INTERESTS.
 Representatives of the lumber industry in the South presented strong arguments in favor of the retention of the duties imposed by the Dingley tariff on lumber. They claimed that the removal of the tariff would bring them in competition with low grade lum- Der of Canada and other countries and low wages paid in other countries. It was also stated that the stumpage cost in this country is greater than in Can ada and in other foreign coun- tries. Figures were submitted to show that the South now pro- duces practically one-half of all the lumber produced annually in the United States.
 RICE GROWERS WANT PROTECTION
 Representatives of the rice industry declared that the de struction of this industry would result if a lower duty than that provided in the Dingley bill were placed on rice. Locke Breaux, president of the Rice Association of America, declared that to put the rice industry on basis
