VANS Candidacy.

We are pleased to note that the
proposition to nominate Air. Homer
". Vail of Pomfret to the office of
lieutenant governor of the Republican
ticket, Is meeting with much favor
among our contemporaries, in whose
columns we lind many words OF
warm commentator.
Mr.. Wallis public career has been a
most honorable one. and there Isl gen
eral feeling among the farmers of the
State that no better man can be found
TO represent their interests in Yer
mont. Having been member Of
both branches of the legislature. he is
wei qualified to administer the duties
Of his office and is sure 10 prove most
efficient officer.
As a farmer. he will be sure to exert
his influence in behalf of the farmers
Of the State whenever opportunity
may occur; and il is a gratifying thing
to note that the farmers of the State
are rallying to his support, so that
there will be no doubt of his nOmina-
ton if the agricultural element in the
convention viii but be true to itself
and pull tremendously together.
We are gathering excerpts from
our exchanges, which we will give to
our readers next week as evidence that
the concensus of opinion among the
editors who represent more directly
the agricultural class, emphatically en-
dorses Mr.. Wallis candidacy.-Farm-
er's Advocate and Burlington Earth.

A Representative Ticket.

Woodbury. and Vail-this would
make a representative ticket. The
first represents the commercial and
corporate interests of Vermont and,
also. an organization which stands as
the best symbol of Vermont patriotism
and which deserves to be held in hon
or by every loyal Nermonter. The
second represents our great agricultu-
raj interests. being himself practical
and successful farmer, who would be
universally accepted by his fellow
farmers throughout the State as a
worthy representative of their inter-
ests. This ticket would have the
great advantage of carry ing with il a
practical assurance that political hon
ors in Vermont are not for the pro-
fessional otiice-seeker. wire. puller or
secret manipulation, but for the man
who, by identifying himself with the
great practical interests of the State,
contributes his share to its prosperity.
These two gentlemen are not promi-
nent nor even known as otfice-seekers
or practical politicians, but are men
who have attained eminent success in
honorable and productive occupations
the one in commercial life and the
other in agricultural pursuits.-Lud-

Your Palate Is
Your Stomach's Conscience.
Fats, Oils and Grease Make Thin
People Thinner.


Thin people are thin because the food
they eat doesn't make them fat Reasons
wrong food; right food ILL., digested.
Fats, oils and grease viii not make any,
body fat. They keep fat person fat. but
they make thin people grow thinner The
reason is because they are indiges.ible.
The thin person finds il hard to digest his
food. Fatty food makes it harder still for
him.
Doctors forbid dyspeptics food cooked
in grease, yet they win prescribe a full
dose of cod liver oil three times a dayl The
best doctors know that cod liver oil is Just
as indigestlble as any other oil or grease.
They prescribe Paskola, a Pre- Digested
food, instead.
Have you ever noticed that almost with
out exception thin, pale. dyspeptic, anamic
people have an aversion to fat? That is
proof enough that it is bad for them.
Your palateis your stomachis conscience.
Your stomach knows what is good for
you.
starch food is the food that we need
most OF. Starch food makes us fat. Pre-
digested starch food will make us fat
when ordinary starch food won't. Pas
kola is predigested starch food. II
agrees with the weakest stomach. 1t helps
the weak stomach to digest other food II
is fattening and invigorating.
Nothing but starch food will ever make
you fat. The starch food that will make

About the Lieutenant Governorship
Candidates

The present indications point to Homer
W. Vail o. Pomfret as the PRINCIPAL con
testant with Col. z. NJ. Mansur OF Island
1 Pond for the Republican nomination for
+ the lieutenant governorship. The great
difficulty with Wallis support, however, is
that it will come from just that element
which might have nominated Henry A.
Fletcher in 1892. but which failed to do so
from lack OF organization, and may be ex-
pected to be equally impotent this year.
The loud demands for farmer" candi-
date avail nothing, as rule, because the
farmers never agree upon any candidate
and concentrate their strength in his sup
port. They are in majority, and could
have things their own way if they would.
But there is too much jealousy and rival
~ among the leaders.
The above comes from newspaper
correspondent at st. Adams who un-
Intentionally hints at what is true, viz;
That Col. Mansur's supporters are re-
living to a considerable extent upon
pulling their candidate in on the home
stretch through ''the jealousy and ri
valry among the farmers"
Ii is pleasing TO note, however, that
the jealousy and rivalry" spoken of
by our st. Adams friend is not ma
terializing this year. As stated by
him, il Is probable that Col. Mansur
and Mr. Vail will be the only candi-
dates for the lieutenant goyernorship
seriously considered in the conven-
ton. The farmers in this section Of
the state, at least, are manifesting
decided preference for one Of their
own number this year and Republic
cans generally appear to cooperate
with them. Mr.. Vail is recognized as
a gentleman more than the equal of
Col. Mansur in point Of ability, and
his nomination will surely add great
er strength to the Republican State
ticket.-Northfield News.

KNEW THEY HAD ENOUGH. :
Two Men Who Did Not Demand Satisfac.
finn.

A tall, thin young man and a short,
stocky one walked painfully up Main
street yesterday afternoon. They were
well-dressed. From the rear they
looked like two young fellows who had
tight shoes or sore feet or something
of the kind. From the front they looked
like two men who had been thrashed
within six inches of their lives by some
one who knew how to use his fists.
That is what they were.
The tall, thin man had one black
eye. There was long bruise on the
side of his face and his nose was twisted
somewhat. One of his lips was cut
The short, stocky man had two black
eyes. His forehead had the skin rub
bed off and his lips were cut.
"Hello!" said friend, what in
thunder's the matter with you fellows?'
'Oh," said the tall young man,
we've been licked"
THAT'S right, said the stoclxy young
man.
How'd it happen?" inquired tho
friend.
"We got fresh and got licked. That's
all there is to 1T. -"

''we're going to bed"
"But what are you going to do about
the fight?"
''Going to bed told you"
aren't you going to report it to the
police?"
"Police?" queried the tall young
man. Report what to the police?"
"Why, the fact that you have been
outrageously treated by some one"
what have the police got to do with
it?''
''They could arrest the man who as
saulted you, couldn't they?"

young man, 81 told you that we got

Then she told me she was tailoress,
but most of the trade was in the hands
of the Jews, and they would not EN-.
ploy her, and she could not get work
elsewhere. She had tried every shop
in Melbourne.
''Then I'll get you laudanum," said
1; ''only want favor from you first"
"What is it?''

Carlyle's Temper.

1t is easier to say why a particular
man should be a pessimist than why a
great many should be. In Carlyle it is
tolerably clear that early surroundings
and facts of temperament had good
deal to do with the settled gloom of his
speculations. Calvinism trains strong
ment but can hardly be said to predis-
pose TO cheerfulness. This particular
man of genius had constitutional all
ments, and his life was for a long time
a struggle with poverty, and he grew
up in very dismal period-the time
when the great war had left us over
strained and diSenehanted, the later
time when reform seemed to be un,
profitable, and the days of famine that
forced free trade upon the country
