Ii is Necessary.

AS has been noted the fair associa-
ton of Plymouth has about decided to
abandon the holding of fairs. 1t is truly
a matter to be deplOred that such an
organization, and one which adds to
the prestige of our city, should be
abandoned for the lack of interest and
patronage. THE INDEPENDENT be-
lieveS there are favorable plans that
could be adopted that would not only
make the holding of fairs in our city a
feasible undertaking, but success. In
a few days TIE INDEPENDENT will
present a few ideas regarding this i'm
pOrtant subject, and in the meantime
its columns are open for any one who
desires to present anything to the pub
lie on this important question.

fused to pay the taxes OF 1891, holding
that the new law of that year, which
put the assessment of railway property
into the hands Of state board of re-

no appeal, was unconstitutional. They
took the matter to the courts, and re-
fused payment during litigation. The

which were attached, and amounted to

the decision was in favor OF the railroad

The ruling is fine point, and in this

NO COnSUMpTIVE WILL DIE
so LONG AS HE CAN DIGEST AND
AsSIMILATE FOOD.

All physicians admit this. Yet here
the difficulty begins How can we build
up the cousumptive's body as fast as
the disease tears 1t down? Let US con-
slider.
Cough mixtures must be avoided, be-
cause they frequently contain opiates,
which arrest the digestion. Their only
effect on the cough is by Supplying the
nerves. Let them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest must
be avoided. especially fats and oils.
Only those foods that are easily digested
and asslmilated should be eaten. Foods
not thus accepted by nature do no
good. They do harm. Not what is
merely eaten, but what Is d;gested and
assimllated. gives flesh and strength.
Consumption is starvation slow or
rapid. as may be. The first symptom
IS not necessarily cough, but tenden-
cy to lose flesh. TO grow thin. stop TINS
tendency now. Don't wait for 'obvious
ling trouble. That's only later de-
yelopment, only a minor point.
Stop the wasting and you master the
disease-cvcn though II may have mace
some slight inroads already. Increase
the flesh. and the danger Is past.
What is needed is an especially pre-
pared food-a nutrIment In itself, ana
digcster of other foods.

and sense. The success of this new
remedy proves It.
