CITIZENS ENJoIN CAMBRIDGE

BAINBRIDGE, March "a. - To-
day has been set for hearing a
petition for an injunction against the
mayor and aldermen and chief of
police of cambridge, to restrain the
city and its officials from advertis-
ing or selling the property of citi-
zens to pay for sidewalk assessments.
NJ. E. O'Neal and Gordon G. Bower
are the attorneys for the petitioners.
If the parties seeking to enjoin the
city officials succeed, it will mean
that all those who have not paid
for the sidewalk paving will be re-
lieved from paying, and those who
have paid only the first installments,
win not have to pay the remaining
nine installments.

Why Druggists Recommend
 Swamp Root

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re- markable recond maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid ney, liver and bladder medicine.
 It is a physicians prescription:
 Swamp Root is strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature in- tended they should do.
 Swamp Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on it's merit, and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatmeHt at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N r., for sample bottle. When writing be sure to mention this paper.-Adv.

wife. One often wonders if these heartless young women are not afraid of the vengeance of God, who has said that AS ye SOW ye shall reap" They do not think that the time may come when the child that they have brought into the world in agony, and that they have lived and sacrificed for. will grow up and marry and that his wife may turn her out-of-doors when she is old and helpless. as she has turned her husbands mother out.
 But this tragedy is so common one-it seems to be such an impos- sible thing for a mans wife and mother to live in peace together that 1t is a wonder that any two women are ever foolish enough to try the experiment. It almost invariably ends in bitterness and sorrow for them both, and misery for the man they fight over.
 If you are able to work, M. w., you will be far happier and better treat ed, and have less to do, in any other kitchen or nursery than you were In your daughter in-law's. Why not put your pride in your pocket and go into domestic service? There are many women who would be willing to pay you good wages and consider you a treasure above price in their homes.
 If you are not able to work, you will find some old ladies' home refuge of peace after the stormy scenes you have been through. Any thing is better than living with one who regards you as burden and eating the bitter bread of depend ance. But Mary pity you and all mothers like you! You know the worst of motherhood.

 Generally speaking, men were at tracted to women by their personal appearance and by their having what we call "a winning personality" which means that they look pleasant, and agreeable, and jolly, and good natured, and easy to get along with.
 In these days of the scarcity of men, the masculine sex is spoiled and uses a high-handed method with women. Therefore, they do not bother with woman who is sour or disgruntled, or who is difficult to entertain. They expect the girl to make the conversational running,
