OF FOOD, but add 5 or more drops four times
daily of Murdock's Liquid Food, and you will find
that their lost or needed vitality will be restored
to them in less than thirty days.
Not a case of Cholera lnfantum known where
Murdock's Liquid Food has beenuSed, nor death
from Cholera 1nfantum where it has been pre-
scribed by physician.
rsThe question often asked-how does Murdock'S
LIQUID Food compare with other Foods and Ton
les? We refer to the State Inspector of Foods for
Massachusetts in his annual report for 1886.
Murdock's Liquid Food contains IA. 10 per cent.
of albumen; all the other foods do not contain
any Common food does not contain over one per
cent that is available
1t contains less organic matter than common
food and common food contains 1856; the other
If contains 0. Az of ash, which is indigestible
matter The others contain from $50 to. 23.74
In alcoholic extracts 1.95. The other prep
arations are all TONES, as they contain from
2O.13 to 56.13 per cent
These facts show why Murdocks Liquid Food
excels all other foods and preparations inmahing
new blood and cleansing the system OF disease.
A Tablespoonful four times day will make 10
rounds new blood monthly, and the system con-
iains "a to % pounds.

A DiSclOSure.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune who has been spending a
month in Rutland gives his idea of the
s'disclosure" feature of the Vermont
prohibitory law.in the following racy
paragraph:
"They have prohibition up there,
which makes every drug store liquor
saloon. If man is arrested for drunk
enness and is fined and ordered to the
workhouse, he can escape by disclos-
ing the name of the person who sold
him the liquor. Disclosure is followed
by fining the seller. The prosecutions
are all in the hands of what is known
as a states attorney. When he walks
into drug store and asks for $50 or
500 he gets it every time. The
druggist knows that it is cheaper than
to stand series of prosecutions. There
is case on record in Vermont where a
woman had sold liquor for long num-
Der of years to man who finally got
mad at her. He kept daily record OF
the drinks she sold him. Every drink
was a new offence. He went into the
court and disclosed, as they call it,
and swore to all the sales on his mem
Orandum. She was sentenced for terms
of imprisonment which in the aggre-
gate amounted to 90 years. | believe
she was pardOned after she had served
some time"

THE seTOWN SYSTEM"

Justus Dartt, superintendent of edu-
cation, in his 29th annual report says :
'There is no more important call, no
greater demand pressed upon the peo-
pie of Vermont at this time than this
one for more efficient common schools,
and experience with the town system
for Ia years shows conclusively that
it would put us in the way of securing
them" This position is strengthened
by the opinions of some 30 school su-
perintendents in this state as well as
by those of other states.
Governor Ormsbee in his message
says that the commonwealth is losing
rank with and falling behind her sister
states in educational matters and adds:
sit is my earnest conviction that ade-
quate and lasting relief can come only
by an adoption of the town system OF
some other system by which the same
end can be accomplished or arrived
at" Word comes from Montpelier
that the remarks of the governor have
made a deep impression on the MEM
bers and that an effort will he made to
remedy the evils in our present school
system.
1t is an old saying that experience
is a good school master. At all events
experience has taught the people of
IL, ictr iof n
failure, as it long ago taught the peo-
pie other states. Experience has
taught those who have had any expe-
rience with it and who have made the
subject of education a study, that the
town system is a success. That is a
wise man who profits by the experience
of others, and it is high time that this
matter receive the attention it de-
serves.
1t is said that the people do not want
the town system and that this is evil
denced by the vote at the last two
March meetings. So far as our Obser-
walton has extended the smallness of
Cno VOCeS UndC nave UeoH IdhoH On Cho
question of adopting the town system
signified not so much opposition to the
movement but simply indifference.
The average voter has not taken the
pains to inform himself on the matter
or to give it the thought that so i'm
pOrtant a subject deserves. Nor, as
the Rural Vermonter puts it, is the
average town meeting suitable place
for the discussion of the subject. The
legislature will have to deal with this
question.
