Democratic Simplicity
I'm Style of Address

48N h@NY A@ VII GGN4S14 SS's slIl T is quite common for persons re- 4 ferring to the governor of Ala bama to give him the title of "His Excellency." In earlier days the Pres ident of the United States and gov ernors in general were styled "Your Excellency," but not so now. The only state in which such a title has legal warrant is Massachusetts, whose constitution designates the executive as His Excellency the Gov 3ernof.a
 N As for the chief magistrate of the 1nation, the proper form of address is Simply the President of the United States1 Even the hackneyed and meaningless prefix title, so dear to politicians, "the honorable" is begin thing to fall into disuse.
 In the First Congress there was considerable debate Over a title for \ the President. It was proposed by some members to call him His Excel lency,' by others His Highness;;" but a committee reported that it "be not proper to annex any style or title Ather than that expressed in the con- atitution."
 ! Still, writers who pay attention to Aood English find that the use of sArnonyms helps, and for the sake of sariety would be glad to have more than one title to draw on. The repe- tition of the term governor or Presi- dent becomes monotonous. Moreover, "His Excellency" often rounds the sentence better than the simpler style. But persons who sickle for exact usage and eschew high sounding phrases will never drop into the title habit.
 The only instance in which the state department at Washington uses aYour Excellency" is when it ad- dresses foreign ambassador or min ister plenipotentiary. Such title in that. case is demanded by interna- tional etiquette.

STEALS AND SELLS
 SAME CHICKS THRICE
According to Officers, Negro Thief Handled Chickens So Often They
 Might Have Been His Pets.

Joe Gibson, negro, aged about 2S years, is prisoner at police headquar- ters and will be turned over today to a justice court for examination on a charge of stealing the same chickens three times. Whether this will mean three separate charges, or whether it will finally bcome only one charge of petty larceny or of grand larceny, are questions the justice will be called upon to decide.
 The negro was arrested at his home at State street and Eighth avenue yes terday by Chief Stewart ond Officer Ali Mayberry. who had investigated the several thefts and located their man. They were waiting for him when he went home for lunch.
 Originally, the fowls in question were owned by George M Wells. and were 16 in number. They were stolen last week. Mrs. J. T. BorresOn is said to have purchased them, and the same night they were stolen from the hen house at her home. The following day the chickens were sold to Mrs. Por- tock, in West Fourth avenue, and the same night they were stolen from her henhouse.
 In each case the purchasers of the chickens gave a description of the man from whom they had been pur- chased. All the descriptions tallied, and this led to the arrest of Gibson, who is said to have stolen and sold the chickens three times over. After stealing the chickens from Mrs. Por- tock, Gibson is said to have sold some of them to N. Gurdon. These the police have in their possession. The others, six in number, have not yet been re- covered

WOMEN FOO AMBITIOUS.

Excessive ambition leads all sorts of women to exert themselves be- yond their strength. The girl striv- ing for honors in school, the busy housewife, the shop-girl, the society climber or leader, all overtaX their natural powers of endurance. Then come nervous troubles, backaches, headaches. frequently organic trou- bles, which reduce them almost to despair.
 Women suffering thus should first recognize the necessity of putting on the brakes and slowing down. Be sides this, to remedy the mischief already done 10 their health, the best reliance is upon that famous and standard medicine for women's ail ments, Lydia E. Pinkh2m's Vegetable Compound.-Advt.

Bombing Won't Rid
 Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruf you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once. glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
