Laws Protecting Publishers. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue their subscription from year to veai. If subscribers move to other places without uotice to publisher or postmaster, and the papers are sent to the former address, they are held responsible. Any person who receives a paper and makes use of it whether he has ordeved it or not, is considered a subscriber. . If subscribers pay in advance, they should give notice to the publisher at the end of their time if they do not wish to continue receiving it. It is common law, existing in every state, that any person receiving any article and using it is liable for payment. The law does not recognize dissatisfaction as an excuse for nonpayment of the subscription. Responsiblity for the subscription continues, and the paper may be sent and collected for, until all arrearages are paid in full. Failure to receive the paper, if not the fault of the publisher, is no cause for refusing payment. The courts have decided that refusing to take a paper from the office, or leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of fraud. Publishers of newspaper can, under the law, an.u any one for f "aud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Postmasters must notify pub Ushers each time a paper is refused or failing to do so, he becomes liable for the subscription price.

A Warning That Should Be Heeded By Every Sufferer.

.Nature soon reLels when the human machinery is out of order. Her appeals for help should be quickly answered. Life is too short and dear to us to neglect our health. When the system becomes run down, the blood impure, the liver torpid, nerves all on a quiver, and the stomach refuses to do its work, then nature utters her warning note. It may be a sick headache, nervousness, dyspepsia, catarrh, loss of appetite, insomnia, languor, constipation, but it is nature's signal of distress. The human machine should be attended to without delay. The system needs building up, the impurities must be driven from the blood, the liver made to do its work and the stomach placed in a natural healthy condition.
