1t hardly seems passible that the money
paid In one month for a ten-cent article,
could, If pennies were used In payment,
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes. To judge from
the stocks of our dealers in dyestutfs, Dia-
mond Dyes own the field of package dyes,
and are complete success. OF course
they have imitators. "Norhing is a success
until initiated" But no one wants to risk
a counterfeit when the genuine can be OBJ
tanned at the same price. Three new col
ors have lately been added to the list of
Diamond Dyes: Fast Stocking Black,
Turkey Red for cotton, and Brown for cot
ton. The manufacturers, Wells, Richard
son Il Co., Burlington, VT, will send col
ored samples of these new dyes, with book
of directions, to any address free of charge.
These additions seem to have made the
line so complete that any shade can be
matched with some color of Diamond
Dyes. The beautiful sample book of
shaded cOlOrs, lately sent to all dealers In
dyes, will delight the eye of any lady.
ats easy to dye with Diamond Dyes" is SO
absolutely true that home dying is no
longer difficult and disagreeable task.
Almanacs, with their hints as to proper
times for different work, tell us that now
is the time for spring dyeing. This,
together with the thought of that
hundred tons of money, leads us to ask
what school boy can figure how many
Thousands of ladies are now saying that
this Is the time to use Diamond Dyes.

Don't Stuff 4 Cold.

If you do you will nine times in ten,
have fever to starve.
A cold is a shock received by the
myriad nerves that bristle near the
surface of human body. This shock
is transmitted to the nerve centres, and
then back to the mucous membranes,
forcing q great amount of blood to
those membranes, creating more or
less severe irritation and consequent
rise in the temperature, followed 10y
chilIs. Excess Of food in the stomach
still more increases the temperature,
and, worst of all, helps clog the secre.
tons or natural outlets of the body.
1t is high time we broke away from an
old notion which, like some Others, has
done more harm than good. For ex-
ample, in years past how many poor
fever sufferers, burning with an inter
nal fire aud thirst, were hurried to all
untimely grave because not allowed
cooling drinks or II bit of ice by the
old time treatment for fevers,as foolish

ed, and doctors learned lesson. Ex-
perimenting with severe cold is q
dangerous custom, as most persons try
one remedy only until some friend
suggests another ''sure cure" as Mark
| Twain SO humorously describes. When
slight hoarseness or tightening of the
nasal membranes warns one of skin
exposure or chill from wet, act
promptly; a delay is dangerous. With
children it may mean group and
strangulation; with adults, catarrh,
bronchitis, and perhaps pneumonia.

The Green Mountain State is true
blue every time with its black re-
publicanism. The question at an
election is always one Of quantity,
the quality being assured. Such a
record as Vermont has is entitled to
recognition, and if we mistake not,
it will receive the recognition it
desires and deserves. AT the
National Convention in Chicago the
Vermont delegation at every roll
call from the very start, voiced its
sentiments in no uncertain sound, as
the Chairman called out in stentor-
ian tones "Benjamin Harrison of
Indiana" Neither the Chairman
nor any member of the delegation
doubted the wisdom of their choice
and later events have not led them
to change their minds very mater
tally. The Chairman of this dele
cation was Elk Governor Redfeld
Proctor, man who for political
sagacity, business tact and executive
ability has no superior in the State.
As the President of the Producers
Marble Co., with his headquarters
at Proctor, near Rutland, he con-
trolls and manages the most import
ant industry of the state and during
the past few years while i'll the
Governors chair and later as bust
ness man he has won the esteem
and has been the admiration of the
whole state. Little wonder that he
is Vermont'S favorite son and that
all green-mountain boys are await
ing with eagerness the announce
ment of the incoming cabinet for
they are confident, as we are, that
among the list suggested by the
President-elect, who is likely to
make his selection, will be included
the name of Redfeld Proctor of

VERMONT AND GEN. HARRISON.

Some of the Vermont republicans
deem that they have something of a
claim on the consideration of Presi.
dent Harrison when it comes to the
distribution of cabinet portfolios.
Of all the state delegations at Chi
cago, that from Vermont alone cast
its solid vote for General Harrison
from the first to the last ballot.
Even Indiana did not do as much
for her favorite son. Vermont's
delegation had nothing to do with
any of the various political pools
formed at Chicago,d no swapping,
made no special parade about its
action, but as often as the roll was
called responded, eight for Harri-
son." Vermont believed General
Harrison to be the strongest candi-
date in the field, and SO just stuck
to him. There was no more modest
delegation at Chicago, and Vermont
maintained modest, dignified at
titude during the canvass that fol-
lowed. Both in September and
November she rolled up unprece-
dented republican majorities. AS
to her republicanism, there can be

The Vermont Legislature has dis
tinguished itself by providing, with
respect to carrying out the existing
prohibition laws, that cit shall be

uty or any constable to search with

cart, sled, * trunk, box,
handbag, satchel, bundle or cloth
ing" conveyed or "worn along any
road or street in the State for intox-
icating liquor" if he thinks there is
a chance of finding any by so doing.
This was duly approved by the
governor andl became operative
within the last thirty days in one of
the commonwealth of this alleged
free country in the last quarter of
the nineteenth century.
If the officer can discover the con-
traband article he is rewarded by
one-fourth the fine inflicted upon
the "owner or keeper" Under the
law he can walk up to man, seize
his handbag, If he has one, search
it, and also his clothes, simply Civ
ing as a reason that he wants to
ascertain if he has any liquor about
him. And he can subject woman
to the same process with impunity,
unless some patriot considers the
oppression to be one of the kind
which justiies revolution and does
society the service of clubbing him.
One may search in vain among

Private DIlzell writes to the
Pittsburg Despatch that as a New
Years gift to his comrade pension
ers he informs them that $l4, 100000

Treasury. lie says that not less
than 100000 pensioners arc entitled
TO receive from S25 to $50 each by
simply applying for it in Washing

First-Five cents per mile from
place to discharge home.
Second-Twenty-five cents daily

Third-Twenty-eight cents daily

He says he obtained his extra

Americans knows anything of the
legality of such claim.
