GOV. FULLER's CIRCULARS OF IN
CURRY

Several of our exchanges report Gov.
Fuller as addressing circulars to every
town and city clerk in the State, making
inquiries about the prohibitory law, how
it is enforced, what it accomplishes and
what is the state of local opinion about
it.
The governor is apparently preparing
for valedictory on the subject, follow
ing the examples of Cows. Dillingham;
and Page. 1t is understood that two of
the leading ideas he will urge will be the
taking it out of the power or discretion
of courts and prosecuting officers to ac-
cept pleas OF guilty of first offenses"
over and over again, and the making of
it matter of official record that the
owner of building where liquor is sold
knowingly" rents it for that purpose,
by bringing him into court at the time
of the sellers conviction so that he can
be proceeded against the next time. If
the governor has any scheme to get
round the the little game by which cases
are appealed" the bonds forfeited and
then cancelled so as to mako low IL
cense fee for the seller we have not
heard it.-Brattleboro Reformer.

from eight to ten years of age.
The alarm of fire was given about
eight o'clock Sunday evening, when it
was discovered that the double house be-
longing to the Vermont Mills, and occu-
pied by Sanford WorthingtOn and Mich
ael Maloney was in flames. 1t had
caught in the kitchen part of the latter
tenement, from the pipe or chimney
where it enters, and but for the appli-
Gnce of water from the hose of the mill
and the village engine, the building
would have been destroyed. AS it was,
both engines did good execution and we
were saved another object lesson of the
folly Of being unprepared to cope, at too
great odds, with the fire fiend. A fire
company should be organized that the
excellent engine we haYe may always be
in order when needed. Had not the
comic scene witnessed few days ago,
of getting the engine into condition to
throw water, been gone through with,
which occupied an hour, the machine
could not have been used, and if the fire
had been farther from the mill, all
would have been at the mercy of the
flames. The damage was not large and
is covered by Insurance.

DON'T LET THEM Die.
August Heat Weakens
Babies Digestion.
No Strength to Resist
Cholera Enfantun.
Halt the Funerals Of August are Of
Little Ones
Safety in LaCtated Food and Clean
illness.
The Proper Food ls Very Far
From Expensive.

August is dealing even more cruelty
with the babies than year ago.
The fatal leases of cholera infantum
last week in this town were many, and
there will be many more.
Precious little lives sacrificed to ignor-
ance!
Almost every one might have been
saved!
All these 'diarrhal diseases, wheather
cholera infantum, diarrhe or summer
complaint, are preventable. Physicians
emphatically say so.
Hot weather alone will not produce
these disorders; it simply weakens the
infant digestion, and makes it easy for
improper feeding to bring on dreaded
diarrha.
What, then, is proper diet for August?
Healthy mothers milk has no rival;
but when the child is being weaned, or
when its natural food is thin and watery
and unable to keep baby strong and we'll,
lactated food must be used at once, either
to supplement- mothers milk or as a
complete diet.
For pears it has been noted that in
countless homes and in the large child
Ten's institutions, wherever lactated food
has been regularly used, there have been
few or no returns of deaths from cholera
infantum in August.
The reason is that this highly nutri-
tious, predigested and especially palita-
BILE food is the very next thing in every
respect to mothers milk. 1t is easily
assimilated by the infant stomach, with
but tritling expenditure of vitality. 1t
keeps up the little ones strength, and as
it cannot possibly contain a particle of
impurity, these two great causes of
cholera infantum are successfully
avoided.
And babies like it.
Any food, however nutritious, that
baby will not readily take, has small
chances of doidg good. And it is here
that lactated food stands pre- eminent in
the minds of medical men. When teeth
ing, and during hot weather, when ba-
bes are most capricious in their appe-
tite, it is found that they take lactated
food with relish when nothing else will
tempt them.
Members of boards of health and ply
sicians, it will be found, feed their own
children on lactated food. The fact
known to physicians from the start that
lactated food was prepared under the
personal supervision of no less a man
than Prof BOynton of Vermont Univer-
sity, gave it immediate standing among
practitioners.
When a change of diet is needed be-
cause baby is not taking sufficient nour-
ishment, lactated food is sure to delight
mothers, by the evident relish with
which babies take it.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether at

which will keep up strength and prevent
illness, and cure such ills as are liable to

less liable to absorb the germs of dis

Change of drinking water often causes
serious trouble, especially if one has

From few drops to teaspoonful of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water
will prevent the water having and injuri-
