through the stomach and general cir
culation. To treat consumption and
other diseases Of the lungs through
the stomach has been the practice
for centuries, but it has always
failed. Thousands of remedies have
been employed, but they were all
addressed to the stomach. not the
lungs. Is it not time to give attcn-
ton to Il new method for reaching
the lungs with remedies:
To practice mcdicatcd inhalation
successfully its pharmacy must be
thoroughly and scientifically COM
pretended. Medicines, when in a
state of vapor. and inhaled into the
lungs, affect the vital organization
very differently from what they do
when in their crude form or condi.
ton, and swallowed into the stom-
ach. Will illustrate this by sim
gle example: Half an ounce of
ch!oloform may be swallowed into
the stomach without producing fatal
effects; but that amount of chloro-
form inhaled in 4 state Of vapor into

The Increasing Revenue.

Under the Mckinley law, in its
very best days, the customs revenues
averaged not more than S57o,ooc
per business day. During Septem-
Der. on the contrary, the revenue re-
ccipts averaged Il little more than
$6Io,ooo a day. The treasury re-
ccipts for the month show a surplus
over expenditures, and there is,
moreover. every reason to expect the
revenues to continue to supply the
government with the money that it
needs. There is little reason, there
fore, for the Republicans to look for
capital in the revenue argument, and
it is not easy at this time to see Just
what the ingenuity of their leaders
can suggest for the next presidential
Observation-Disclosures Union.

Growth of the Republican Boss

1t looks very much as if the victo-
rious leader of his party in the key
stone state would get what he wants
reelection as chairman of the re-
publican national committee.
OF course there is opposition to
him ON the ground that the choice OF
such man will be to invite criticism
and attack. Still, tins seems to be a
favorable year for the growth and
development of the republican boss.
Mr.. Plat is running things for his
party in New York, Mr.. Foraker is
ION top in Ohio, and no one would
be surprised to find Mr.. Quay's am
btion attain its ends.
The republican claim of a monop-
oily of purity and high-minded pat
riotism IS 4 trihc shopworn these
days, that's a fact.-Boston Globe.

Mrs. Mary Jane Jaqulth,

As has already been noted in the AGE,
Mrs. Marshall Jaquith died at her home in
Sonth Woodstock Sept. 10th rged SO years.
Up to the last, Mrs. Jaquit was fine
example of what one means when he speaks
of youth in age. She never ceased to have
a living interest in the living present. Only
two weeks before her death she attended
church, and spending her last Sunday on
earth at home she gravely wondered what
her pastor would think of her failure to be
in her usual place in the congregation.
Her life was II model of faith, industry
and patient loyalty to duty. She did
what she could"
Mary Jane Burke was born in Hyde Park
w., July II, 1872. When she was quite
young the family removed to Hartland w.
She was married to Marshall Jaquith March
30, 1929. Hatland was her home for many
years, and it was here that her six children
were born In 1917 Marshall Jaquith move
to Woodstock and the family home has
been in Woodstock and South Woodstock
up to the present time. Marshall ,Jaouith
died March o. 1881. Since the husbands
death Mrs. Jaquith and her son Henry have
together kept up the "old home at South
Woodstock. The friend to whom | am ill.,
debtcd for these data, adds the simple and
truthful words which will tell the story of
good life: Mrs Jaquith was very in.
tellgcnt, active, Woodworking woman she
was very fond of flowers, and always had a
fine flower garden. Many families in the
towns where she has lived have cause to re-
member with much gratitude her kind ser.
vices as doctor and nnrsc. Surely it may
be said of her that she has done well and
earned her rest. God bless her"

Bear Killing at Bethel.

Will Hoisngton, the Bethel bear
hunter, has several traps set on the
mountain between Bethel and
Rochester and one day last week
went around to examine the traps.
The traps are set in water to conceal
the scent and in one of these 4 large
black bear was discovered. Mr..
Hoisington happened to be totally
devoid of all weapons. not having
even knife. The animal in its
frenzy had gnawcd down Il tree near
bv and the bold hunter armed with
this club approached the animal and
felIed it to the ground and then
jumped ON it, intending to choke it.,
but the bear was too quick and threw
the man from him. Mr.. lloislngton
then resumed his club and finally
succeeded in beating the life out of
the beast. 1t was very handsome
and plump animal, probably weigh
ing about 20 pounds. The killer
gets state bounty of SIS and the
pclts sell for $40 to $50.
