A new DISEASE.
People who are wearing away
because they cannot digest their
food.

They eat heartily hut their food does
them no good.
If you speak to your acquaintance you will too
often find someone who says to you: My food
does me no good I have good, even voracious
appetite, eat plenty and enjoy what l eat, but !
am as thin as a rail. Ny stomach pains me
after meals. I get no flesh or strength from
what l eat"
This is not exactly a new disease. 1t is new
because doctors are beginning togive it attention
They are recognizing that at the door of this
disease may be laid the blame for most of the
dangerous sicknesses which decimate the human
race.
Consumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Dia-
betes Scrofua; all these, and many other dis
eases, could be prevented or cured if food
could be found that would do good"
Doctors have recognized that in Paskoa they
have found such food. Made according to
scientific principles, of the purest starch foods
(the strengthening fattening foods pre-dgested.
it is perhaps the only food that will do good" to
the most delicate stomach and to the sickest dys.

The Woman Suffrage Convention

The convention of woman suffraGists
which was in progress last week, contin-
ued through the afternoon and evening of
Friday, and at its adjournment the dele
gates, with their usual hopeful spirit, voted
it a decided success, and one of their best
conventions. The reports showed only
about $50 members in the state, of which
only six came here from other towns
There was<but one member of the organi-
cation here previous TO their coming, and
this number was increased to p while they
were here, surely good percentage of in
crease, as was dryly remarked by the hus-
band of the lone former member. The
tributes to Lucy Stone by Mrs. Chandler
of Barton Landing, Miss Moore of Barnet
and Mrs. l.. l.. Beeman Of Windsor We're
very touching. Mrs. Beeman is a niece of
Mrs. Stone. The church was filled and
extra seats were placed at the Friday even
ing session, the interest centering in the
address of Julia Ward Howe, whom every
one considered a very entertaining speak
er Mrs. Howe, being the author of the
well-knOwn "Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic," was asked to give her recollections of
the circumstances under which it was
written, which she did in a manner none
will forget.
We think this paragraph by our CORE
spondent makes clear the success attend
ing the convention and the interest shown
by the large audience which gathered to
hear Mrs. Howe. We have, however, let
ter from Bellows Falls friend of the cause,
who, besides declaring the convention
''from first to last a pronounced success"
takes exception to the intmation that the
interest shown by the local ministers was
mainly from the promptings of hospitality,
Rev. Mr.. Diverty asserting that he was
never converted, but was born a believer
in woman's suffrage" and "the earnest
prayers of Rev. Mr. Dodge having no I'M
certain meaning as to his friendliness to
the cause. ED.

Happiness at Wholesale.

Rev. James E. Diverty, who came here
last year from the Bordentown, n. j.,
Methodist church, has quite a record as re-
CARDS marriages. Five years ago he was
pastor of church in Camden, n. j., To-
Gated opposite the city of Philadelphia.
AT that time the Pennsylvania legislature
passed law requiring as a preliminary to
marriage the procurement of a license
from the clerk of the board of civil au-
was not required in New Jersey, and the
result was a large business done by the
pastors in Camden. Mr.. Diverty thinks
his record in that line will exceed that of

Death of Two Prominent Farmers.

During the past week Rockingham has
lost two of its lifelong, prominent, farmer
citizens, whom all respected, Hubbard b.
Davis and Charles p. Allbee. Mr. Davis
hadI been i'll but a few days, with pneu-
monia. He has been for many years a we'll
known figure on our Streets coming here
every few days to supply his fine quality of
dairy butter to village residents. He was
probably the largest butter producer in our
town. He lived near the village of Rock
ingham, had filled many town and public
offices, and was on the board of school
directors when he died He was a public
spirited man, deeply interested in good
government, and an active worker in the
Republican party. Few men will be miss
ed more, by his neighbors in Rockingham.
Charles p. Allbee died Saturday evening
at his home about mile north of our vii
lage, at about the age of Is. His farm was
one of the best in the Connecticut river
valley, and he was always able to make
farming pay. For many years, until the
past few months, he has furnished milk to
customers here and to other milk men in
large quantities. He has been gradually
failing for some months, and had not been
down to the village for several weeks. 1t
is understood his death was caused at last
by paralysis. He was a son of Deacon
Allbee, who was one of the earliest settlers
of our town. He leaves a wife, who was
Hattie l.. Griswold of this village, and a
son, Charles 5.

This indifference to the wage Garner is
at the bottom of every free trade argu-

it rests is that everything should be pro-
duced in that place and by those persons
where and by whom it can be produced at
the least cost. This principle leaves no
room for the defence of higher wages in

Stereotype Plates.
AS we predicted last week, the town
meeting Tuesday was a tame affair, only
the usual routine business was transacted,
and the officers were voted in who were
elected by the caucus. Though we have
over 1900 voters on the list only 161 bal
lots were cast. Last years stereotyped re-
port would almost do for this year, 5000
voted to cemeteries, 500 for Memorial
day. 5000 for the free library. Oh, yes, a
new vote was passed, because an article
called for it: $500 was voted to pay for
finishing off another room in No school
house, which is needed because of the in
crease of scholars A tax of 60 cents was
voted to be collected by the treasurer. All
about as last year. The meeting was adj
iourned early, with hardly any discussion
over any article.
