"How does doctor know the effect

way to judge would be to stand over

cannot be done. So, really, I don't

There are local diseases of various
characters for which nature provides
positive remedies. They may not be
included in the regular physicians list,
perhaps, because of tEeir simplicity,

Speaking of the results of the recent
elections, and their obvious causes,
Harper's Weekly says; The revolu-
tion of which MassaohuAetts Is the
chief illustration has the same meaning
everywhere. The more the question
of what is ingeniously called protection
is understood, the more unwilling are
intelligent citizens to sustain under
that name system of high taxatiop,
and TO burden domestic enterprise and
industry with oppressive imposts on
their raw material.

character especially appropriate to the

to Christmas cheer and Christmas

 The New Haven Flyers have reorganixed and would like to arrange games with any semi-profesaional polo team. O'Maley says that the Meriden team plays the fastest game in it's own rink of any team 1 in the league, and he ought to know.
 The local team showed by their playing or 1 Monday night that they can put up just ai rough game as any team in the league not withstanding their light weight.
 The game here with Meriden Monday nigh was the toughest that has been played in th local rink in long time. The cranks ar not through talking about it yet.
 Something ought to be done to strengthen the rush line of the New Britain team. Tn rushers are losing games right along for tn team and they will continue to do 30 unles . change for the better is made. This is tn third time this season that the "Woo6 choppers" are in the last place.
