Families residing in cities and villages,
whether blessed with riches or not. should if
possible keep COW, a real Jersey, and have
their milk, cream, and butter fresh and nice
every day of the week. In this manner all
the trials and tribulations incident to strong
butter, and doubtful milk and cream, with
which the average house-keeper 10 so thor
oughly acquainted, can be avoided. Take
butter for instance, without it, bread, the
stan of life. is hardly worth eating. 1t is,
IN truth, one of the necessaries Of life. With
a'eek, thoroughbred Jersey in your stable,
you have only to milk her. secure the cream,
ehurn 1t and properly work and prepare
the product and YOU have the dainty, gilt
edged article fit to set before king; and
hen when taking your morning cup of coffee
you have the satisfaction of using the gea-
ans' golden cream, which is a veritable nee
"f Is compared with average cream. OF
eource it will cost considerable to feed a
COW, but families that are obliged to make
every cent count, little realize how potent a
heip an abundance of her products are
towards living, until they have tested the
matter.

For some time past it was noticed by post
office officials that the Dayton post-ofiice, in
York county, was reporting large increase
Of business to the auditor. The compensa-
ton of fourth class pestmasters is based
upon the amount of stamps cancelled. Hence
the temptation for dishonest postmasters to
make false returns of stamps cancelled,
thereby receiving increased compensation.
Legitimate receipts of the Dayton post-ofice
would not exceed 80 per quarter. As the re-
turns made to the auditor we're six or
eight times that amount, it became
apparent that some false swearing
was being done at that Office. Therefore
during the first qua;rer Of 1883 the postmas-
ter at Biddeford was directed to keep an &C.
curate account of all stamped matter passing
through that Office from Dayton, Biddeford
being the only outlet of that Office. An &C.
count was kept and showed an actual cancel
lation of sS.67 for the quarter, while the
amount returned to the auditor as can
celled was S81.58. The true compen-
sation of the Office should have
been 1904, while it actually did receive BY
reason of false returns, S55 80, thus defraud-
ing the government at the rate of about 5000
per annum. How long this had been going
on is uncertain, but dates back at least two
or three years. At the December term of the
U. S. District Court held at Portland, the
postmistress Of the Dayton post-office, Mrs.
F. NJ. Rumery, was indicted and placed
upon trial for violating sec. l1s of the
postal laws. After trial of three days
and an able defense by Messrs. B. F. Hamil-
ton and G. Fl. Townsend of Biddeford, she
was adjudged guilty, and on the 15th inst.
was sentenced by Judge Webb to pay fine
of $50 and to refund the amount she had de-
frauded from the government. While the
postal authorities had no doubt that Mrs.
Rumery had knowledge of these false re-
turns and was, therefore, guilty of the offense
of which she was charged and should be pun
ished, yet it was deeply regretted at the
time of the trial that there was not some
law that would reach her hus band who
conducted the office and in all probability
pocketed the profits. This should be lesson
to all postmasters dishonesty inclined and
teach them the folly of attempting to defraud

Thousands of persons are poisoned in
America BY the continued use of Mercury,
Iodide of Potassium and other minerals, for
various diseases. The mercury works its
way into the tissues, producing rheumatism
and decay of the bones. The Iodide of Po-
tassium eats away the coating of the stomach,
and dries up the gastric juices which digest
the food. and the patient fingers along in
agony or is glad to die to get away from mis-

to all this poison. 1t eliminates Mercury
