The Circuit Court Of CECIL County last
week passed on feature of the Local
Option law which has not been enforced
heretofore, by declaring persons acting
as agents for the purchase of liquor for
others are violating the law, and secur-
ing convictions on the counts. This
practice Of sending others outside the
county TO buy liquor for them has been
followed by number of the thirsty ones
in this section, and evidence should be
secured against them and the guilty
parties hailed into Court. A taste of law
for violators Of this description would
prove wholesome lesson to those who
have been following this whisky carrying
business, and would 60 long way to.
ward breaking up the nefarious practice.

A TRYING ORDEAL.
The Fattening Process of a Marriage
able Girl In Tunis.

The Fattening Process of a Marriage
able Girl In Tunis.
The manageable girl in Tunis has a
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not Of her choice
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
As soon as the betrothal takes place
she Is taken to room and there coop
ed up till the fattening process is con-
cluded. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task of her parents and future hus-
band is to- increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
If the husband is widower or has
discharged his first wife the girl has
the shackles Of the first spouse placed
on her, and she must fill them out
It takes long time to do this as a
rule, and sometimes it cannot be ac-
complished in spite Of all efforts. 1t is
then opento the future husband to cry
off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is, if he is fond
of the girl-but if he. is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout
girls are the more quickly snapped up
in Tunis.-St. James, Gazette.

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

It is mistake to,suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and BY this
means dyspepsiaAis cured. The digestive
process begins..in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach, IowW stomach. liver,
spleen, ETC., take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of-irri,
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatinl to do this. They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli

The First Tooth Festival.

Among the Syrians there is no such
thing as giving party in celebration
Of the first anniversary of the birth Of
child. The celebration is held when
the baby cuts its first tooth. On such
an occasion friends of the parents are
not invited to the house to eat cakes
and listen to a monograph, but what
ever sweets may be prepared for the
occasion are sent by the parents to the
homes of the friends whom they wish
to inform of the news. The friends
later visit the parents and tender their
congratulations. The dishes In which
the sanainieh is carried to neighbors
and friends are not returned immedi-
ately. Sometimes it Is week or even

tomary places in the family cupboard.
When they are returned they are not

HIS TRIES.

The Gems the Collector Bought and

That the. collector falls into trap
occasionally IL shown by an episode
which we recall. Ansenthusiastic pur-
chaser of old tapestries was once Of
fered in Paris masterpiece. executed
on a large scale and held at large
figure. Consulting an expert, he was
urged to buy. but the sum demanded
seemed to- him at the moment a good
deal to invest in a tapestry, and he
let the opportunity pass.
A year or so later he met his friend.
the expert aforesaid, and asked him to
come to his house to look at two tapes
tries he had just secured. "They are
smaller" he said, ethan the one you
advised me to buy and which, to tell
the truth, have always regretted6and
l paid twice as much for them as /
was asked to pay for that glorious
piece but while it seemed fearful
lot of money to spend simply couldn't
resist the chance"
The specialist in tapestries walked
into the gallery Of the proud collector
and gazed upon his prizes. He gazed
for a time in silence and then had to
be very guarded in his speech of con-
graduation. He was looking at the
original tapestry, which his friend
could have had for half the money,
now neatly cut in two and supplied
with borders. He. never revealed to
the victim Of this ingenious little game
what precisely had happened. New

Speaker Cannon's arrogance, insolence,
arbitrary rulings and usnrpation of power
have finally been his undoing, the discord
It has sown in his party leading to q
revolt in the Lower House of Congress
that swept him from the Rules Com
mittee, thereby stripping him of much OF
his power, which he has never failed to
nse in the interest of the corporate in.
Huences that have kept him 10 Con-
gress all these years.
The Speaker has no one to blame more
than himself for his overthrow, his hos
tility to all reform legislation, defiance
of and open contempt for the progress
sive wing of his party doing much TO
bring the republican organization into
discredit and causing reflections even in
the ranks of those so-called regulars who
have blindly followed his leadership til a
point that threatened the complete dis
ruption of the party.
Speaker Cannon's whole policy has
ever been one of obstruction to all legis-
lation looking TO the general good, and
the forcing of measures through the
House that were framed in the interest of
the few. His overthrow is welcomed by
the people at large, who hope to see his
removal from the Speakers chair and the
complete elimination of his methods and
influence from the legislative body over
whose sessions he has all too long pre-
sided and held in such absolute control.

of them of n size and beau
tifully seulptured. Judging from
present indications, the ancient
town must have housed at least 50,-
600 people. There is not even a
trace to be found of a civilized being
anywhere within 100 miles from
there.
No doubt can exist that this re-
gion a very thickly populated at
some time, that its inhabitants were
highly civilized, as is proven by
their architecture, and that the
try must have produced something
not known at the present time. The
ible at every hand was doubtless due
to the internecine wars among the
natives themselves. A noteworthy
instance of the intelligence and civ
ilization of the people at some time
is clearly demonstrated by an
artificial waterway constructed by
them.
Present harbor conditions are ont
favorable to the intending settler in
this region. The native is not to be
counted on, and all labor must be
brought from other parts. The Ma
va Indian will not work. He may
possibly plant a small patch of corn
and this, with his fishing, will keep
him content. Should he develop a

A LEADERS DUTY.

The main criticism being brought
against Governor-elect Woodrow
Wilson for the stand he has taken
regarding the United States senator
ship is that he is exceeding his auth
ority in attempting to dictate to the
legislators how they shall vote on
this question, and in e~ndeavoring to
force upon them his own personal
choice of the candidate.
This idea is entirely wrong. Mr..
Wilson, as he stated, is acting not
as governor, but as leader Of his
party. He distinctly said during the
campaign that his election would
mean that he was the choice of the
voters for their party leader, as well
as governor Of the whole people. So
far as known Mr.. Wilson has no per-
sonal candidate for United States
senator. He takes his stand entire
ly as the leader of the people; he
realizes that the question of direct
primary for the choice of United
States senator is at stake. To ignore
it now would mean that it would be
ignored forever after. $4,000 voters
expressed their preference for James
MARITIME, at the recent primary. See
ing that 1t means something this
time, the voters will be more apt to
give it serious consideration at the
next election. Mr.. Wilson found no
other way Of asc~ertaining the peo-
pies choice in this regard and as a
real leader he is justified in insist
ing that the legislators obey the
voice of the people. Personally, he
has nothing to say about it, only in
SO far as he can use his influence to
restore popular government.
Mr.. Wilson has a great fight on
hand in endeavoring to overcome
the powerful Influence of Jim"
Smiths machine. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not the people or
the bosses will win.

L TO WORK HERE.

1t is gratifying to learn that a
movement is on foot to organize a
permanent Anti-Tuberculosis Lea
que in this city. A meeting has been
arranged for st, Peters parish house,
Wednesday night, when the matter
will be considered and the move
ment will be explained by Executive
Secretary William G. Smallwood, of
the New Jersey Association for the
Prevention and Relief of Tubercu-
losis. DR.. William e. Ramsay Is a
director of the association and will
assist.
The EVENING NEWS has already
pointed out that eighty-two per
cent. of the money received by the
sale of the Red Cross seal can be
spent entirely in this city in fight
ing tuberculosis, if there Is an or
ganization here tos carry on the
work. New Brunswick has an active
society and plans are being made
there to extend the activities of the
organization throughout the county.
Perth Amboy should lend every as
sistance possible. The two cities
ought to work hand in hand in this
important matter.
1t has been suggested in New
Brunswick hat a county society be
formed with branches in all of the
towns, that a county sanitarium be
erected, similar to such institutions
in other counties of the state. This
is a matter we'll worth considering
and every effort should be made to
carry it to "a successful conclusion.
1t is to be hoped that the move
ment to organize an Anti-Tubercu-
losis League in this city will meet
with great success and that the
work which it has on hand will be
carried forward in an enthusiastic
manner There is plenty to be done
along this line and there Is no rea-
son why the money subscribed for
Red Cross seals here should not be
devoted to fighting the white
plague in Perth Amboy.
