Dir. Shrady, in the Forum, gives
some Of the big fees that physicians
receive from wealthy patients.
For four weeks attendance during
typhoid fever the physician to the
Prince of Wales received $4,000.
1t is the countless homes in modef-
ate circumstances, however, that find
it SO hard to pay for the frequent doc
tors visits. What the plain people
want is the very best.medicine, yet not
beyond their means. They have it in
Paine's celery compound.
To prepare slch great, popular
remedy, that should embody the most
advanced ideas regarding disease, and
yet be easily within the reach of the
thousand modest homes where sick
ness exists, was the lifelong ambition
of that eminent Dartmouth professor,
the greatest physician America has
produced, Edward E. Phelps, M. d.,
LII. ID. Paine's celery compound, that
remarkable nerve regulator and blood
purifier, was first prepared by Prof.
Phelps in the laboratory Of the Dart
mouth medical school.
Paine's celery compound embodied
the sound theory Of Prof. Phelps, that
only by feeding and rebuilding worm
out, diseased nerve tissues could firm
health be restored. This greatest of
remedies sets to work at once to store
the nerve tissues and the muscular tis-
sues with the means of rapid growth.
1t urges the excretory organs to cleanse
the blood, and fills it with new red

disease these many ailments being
, due to poverty and impurity of the
blood or to an underfcd state of the
nerves.
This most progressive remedy of
this century soon made its way into
hospitals, homes of physicians and in
to Ocountless modest households in large
cities, and the happy results during all
these years in every city and hamlet
in this broad land sufficiently show
its marvellous power over diseases of
debility and weakness. Physicians
advise its use whenever the system is
"run-down, "and as an invaluable gen.
eral tonic for speedily recruiting the
strength of the body.
Mr.. +. Il. Towne, who is one of the
best known business men in Spring
field, Mass, has been a resident of that
cityfor over 30 years. He has fine
residence in the Mcknight distlict,and
is well and favorably known among
the best people of the city. He writes:

Vermont responded generously to
the appeal for help from suffering Ne
braska. Occasionally her sons leave
her, deluded by the hope of golden
fortunes in store for them in some dis
tant state. When, instead, misfortune
overtakes them, it is but natural that
they should look to the old home for
relief, and they seldom call in vain.

The labor situation presents some
striking anomalies. One of these is
the fact that while labor is relatively
far better off than it was twenty, thir-
ty or fifty years ago,it is more discon-
tented with it's lot than ever before.
+ Formerly, if a laborer had employ
mont which yielded him enough re-
turns to provide for the actual neces-
sites of life of himself and family, he
was well satisfied. Since then wages
have constantly increased and the
things required to keep soul and
body together have cheapened. Men
are living who can remember when it
took a months wages to pay for a
barrel Of -four. Now it does not take
a week. So with sugar, tea, coffee, in
fact, almost everything that furnishes
the table. So, too, with clothing and
furniture. Wages have gone up and
prices down. 1t would seem, there
fore, that the wage-earner of to-day
ought to be much better satisfied than
his father or grandfather. But he is
not, as all will agree.
Something must be the matter.
What is it just this:-Though the
laborer earns more thar formerly and
though money goes farther toward
purchasing the necessaries of life, he
does not prosper because he is not as
prudent as his father was before him.
If people lived as they lived fifty
years ago, if they were as economical,
il they limited themselves to necessary
expenditures, they would accumulate
faster than their parents did because
their incomes are relatively much
greater.
But they don't, and, candidly, there
is no reason why they should. We
would not advise such course. We
believe people should get as much en-
joyment out OF this life as possible,
provided they are consistent with their
surroundings. Our fathers did the
same, though their opportunity was
less than ours.
But it is very easy to overdo in
these matters. Dollars slip away cas-
lily from most people and, once gone,
their absence is more keenly felt than
it would have been if they had never
been possessed. Isn't that so?
The desire to live ''in STYLE" as well
as those who are better off, is the bane
of many a labVer's life. He does not
see why his neighbor's house should
be better furnished, or his table better
provided, or his family better dressed
than his own, and in striving to equal
him in luxuries he exceeds his income
and is miserable.
1t is not the necessaries of life, but
the luxuries, that are responsible for
most Of the present discomfort. Envy
and jealousy prey on the poor mans
mind and in bowling to them he is
more securely enthralled. The desire
to attain riches easily and quickly in
order to enjoy them as others appear

The cost of Col. w. Seward Webb's
staff uniform appears to be the lead
ing state issue at present. The initial
announcement that it cost 81, 500 has
been succeeded by the report that it is
only an ordinary suit and has seen
service heretofore in similar capaci-
ty, the Col. having served on Gov.
Pages staff. The uniform probably
cost between $l5 and 81, 800 and with
out doubt is paid for, so the public
need not concern itself about the cx-
act amount.

LincoIn's Birthday Celebrated.

Tuesday was a big day for Vermont
Republicans, over a thousand of whom
gathered at Burlington to celebrate
Lincoln's birthday under the auspices
Of the Young Mems Republican club.
Hon. Chauncey M. Depews of New
York was the drawing card, happily
provided BY the club with the assist
ance of Col. w. Seward Webb.
| The afternoon exercises were held
in Howard opera house, which was
filed. President Foster Of the club
made the opening speech and Gov.
Woodbury. also spoke briefly. Mr..
Depew was then introduced and re-
ceived an ovation. He was at his best,
his theme OF Lincoln's life and lesson
being particularly adapted to him.
He spoke for over an hour. Seldom
is an audience so completely in touch
with a speaker as was Mr.. Depcw's
on this occasion. His every word and
glance met with instant recognition,
He told Of the great leader Of the Re-
publican party, his lowly birth, his
early struggles, his steady rise and his
final glory. He dwelt especially on
Lincoln's sympathy for the common
people and their love for him. He
drew vivid picture of the great life
so blest to his country, Of its influence
on the nation and the party. lie in
tersperscd enough humor to make the
address very happy in its vein. The
general opinion of Mr.. Depew's effort
was most favorable to the speaker.
Gen. j. G.. Mccullough made
brief speech, closing the afternoon ses-
sion.
Att O'Clock the banquet was served
in the armory building. Seven hun-
drcd sat at the tables and many spec
tators were in the gallery. The hall
was beautifully decorated with ferns,
flags, bunting and mottoes. At each
plate was a lovely souvenir badge with
d Depew medallion attached. After
the bpnquet had been discussed, Chas.
M. M.Prouty OF Newport was introduced
as toastmaster and proved a very
pleasing one.
He had the pleasure in turn of in
Producing Mr.. Depew, the Sprince OF

his claim to that title. He kept the
audience in q roar of laughter by pure
fun, which bubbled forth in an appar-
entity inexhaustible stream.

to do is the will-o'- -the-wisp that con-
stantly dances before the poor mans
leyes. The love Of money is increas-
ing day by day in this country and is
really alarming in its intensity.
The sensible way is clear. People
should "cut the garment according to
the CLOTH" There is no excuse for
adults in good health being in want.
1t does not require high wages to pro-
vide the necessaries of life. But it
does require high wages to live as the
rich live. Let families have all they
can comfortably afford, we believe in
that, but not what they cannot afford.
Ii the line is drawn there, rather in
side than outside, there will be no
trouble. The American laborer to-
day ought TO be the happicst and most
