ping young Frank Clark of Adams, from
the town of Pownal, in Bennington
county.
Tuesday morning the respondents
were represented by S. Proctor Thayer
of North Adams; the State of Vermont
was represented by District Attorney
Bates of Bennington, and Sheriff Wilson.
Though there is no doubt that the gem
tlemen named above as respondents are
really the persons for whose extradition
the papers were forwarded to the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, yet from the pa
pers themselves that fact could not be
ascertained. First of all, they call for
the eXtradltiOn of d. G. NORM and John
E. Magenis.
The papers assign North Adams as the
residence of the respondents, who reside
in Adams. Mr. Thayer SAID at Tuesdays
hearing, that even if the papers were
honOred, any warrant that might issue
could not be properly served, and would
be resisted.
This statement Attorney Bates made
to His Excellency, Tuesday The mat
ter was then continued for two weeks.
The Governor does not think that the
real facts in the case were known in YER
mont, nor the fact that FIR Moran went
there in loco PARENTS.
The impression seems to be that pro
ceedings will be dropped when explana
tions are made and the people of Ver-
mont learn of the incident as attendan !
on the war being waged between liquor
and temperance.

Prevention VS.. Cure.

Most people are quick to see the need
of medical aid when disease has fastened
itself upon them, or when they are pros.
trated by some epidemic. 1t is not ev-
eryone, however, who realizes the i'm
pOrtance of keeping the body in such a
state of health that it will be able at all
to resist the attacks of disease. 1t is
when then the system is weakened by
overwork or worry, causing loss of APP
petite, etc, when it is greatly debilitat-
ed, or "all run down." that the danger
of serious sickness and heavy doctors
bills is to be feared. On the other hand,
il perfect health can he maintained, and
blood kept pure, and the circulation
good, the appetite normal and the spirits
cheerful, there will be no occasion to
fear the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria or
any similar ailment. AS a means of
keeping the body in just this condition
of health no better agent has yet been
found than that great blood purifier and
strength builder, Hoods Sarsaparila.
While it is true that Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla Cures" it is equally true that Hoods
Sarsaparilla prevents sickness and this
truth is of supreme Importance to all.
Mrs. G. c. Roles, of Wauregan, Conn,
writing to the prOprietors of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, stated the case most con-
cisely when she said: I'VE don't wait
until we are sick but take Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to prevent Sickness Certainly
prevention is far better than cure 30t2*
