quickness ol action ana tnorougnness or.
cure, has no records to beat except it own.
Benson's Plaster, Always the best, always
the leader, is to-dsy bitter than ever. It
sticks to the skin but never itiolu In its
tracks. It marches on.
The psople not only want to be oured
but cured quickly and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney oomplaints,
and other ilia approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoet to heat.
Noither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be ooinpared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no us
for any other external remedy.
More than o,UUU pnysioians ami anig
gists (and a thousand time aa many non

Plasters one of the few (I) home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-five highest awards have been made

Piatt Forced to Yield.
NEW YORK, March 23. Senator
1'ltitt has given out the following state
ment: "The general opinion of those at
the conference held yesterday nt the Fifth
Avenue hotel was that the police condi
tions existing in New York ought to
have the attention of the legislature, but
that it would be uselesa to pass any bill,
us the governor bus declared that he
would veto It. Some of those present
favored a state police law and others fa
vored a metropolitan district, but it was
conceded by all thut nothing should be
done at present. I regret the situation,
ns I believe that some action by the leg
islature is important for the city and the
Republican party, and I think thnt such
will be tho general public opinion soon.
But if nothing is to be done and if the
present bad conditions are to be sub
mitted to, the legislature is not responsi
ble for that. If it turns out in the next
municipal election that the judgment
which I hnve formed upon this subject
has been wrong, then I shall be glad
thnt Taiumuny has been left in control of
the police."

NYACK. K. Y March 25. Pearls to
the value of $l,.rKiO have been found In
the llnckotisuek river at Orangeburg,
itocklaud county, within the Inst three
or four weeks, and a number have also
been taken from mussel shells nt West
Nyack. Several men hove tnken up tha
occupation of pearl hunting in tho locali
ties. A lazy liver may only be a tired liver, or a
tarved liver. A stick is all right for the
back of a lazy man. Hut it would be a sav
age as well as a stupid thing to beat a weary
man or a starving man hecause ne laggen 111
Lis work. So in treating the lapging liver
it is a great mistake to lash it with drastic
'Irugs. In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred n torpid or sluggish liver is but a symp
om of an ill-nonrished body, whose organs
ire weary with overwork. Let your liver
alone. Start with the stomach and its allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them
in proper working order, and see how quick
ly your liver will be ome active and ener
getic. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery has made many marvelous cures of
"liver trouble" by its wonderful control ot
the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the bloodmaking
ulands. cleanses the system from poisonous
accumulations, and so relieves the liver of
the burdens imposed upon it by the defection
of other organs.
Sorrow is amuhibious. You can't drown
it in drink.

WASHINGTON, March 27 Presi
dent MeKlnlee has annroved the new
army ration prepared under the direction
of General Yeston, chief commissary.
The principal chanje is in the increase ot
the svKar ration, beinu-20 pounds to each
100 rations instead of 15 pounds as here
tofore. The vinegar component, wbieb
was 8-25 of a gill, is changed by allowing
half that amount in cucumber pickles
when desired. In the fruit component
1 2-5 ounces of jam Is allowed for tha
field ration in place of 1 3-5 ounces oi
dried or evaporated fruit, which is the
allowance for the garrison ration. A
change is made in the travel ration by al
lowing the canned tomatoes to be served
on the first day instead of the fourth a
heretofore.
