The unequalled demand for Paine's
celery compound among the people OF
this state is but an index OF the great
good that it is doing
Not only in this vicinity, not only
in every Eastern state, but everywhere
in the United States.
Paine's celery compound, the Won
derful remedy that makes people well,
is beyond question the most reliable
production ofmodern medical science.
Nobody disputes it.
From the day it was first prescribed
by that most eminent of American
physicians, Prof. Edward +. Phelps it
has been recommended, prescribed
and its merits extolled by the ablest of
physicians. The best medical jour-
nails have devoted almost unlimited
space to the cures it has effected.
The daily press of the large cities
has contained account after account of
remarkable cases Of ''health restored
by Paine's celery compound"
Some OF the most famous men and
women in the country have very re-
Gently authorized the publication Of
their unsolicited testimonials. They
or their physicians have frankly told
how, when all else had failed, Paine's
celery compound made them well.
There are many in Randolph whom
it has cured Of serious illness.
Paine's celery compound is the one
specific for those nervous disorders, i'm

digestion, neuralgia and rheumatism,
for heart trouble, lassitude, sleepless-
ness, from which men and women in
this climate too generally suffer.
1t cures not only speedily but per-
manently. 1t supplies the nerves with
food: it makes new blood; it removes,
the cause of disease. Mrs. George A..
Wilson of Watervilie, Me-. whose pol-.
trait is given abovc,is one Of the many
whom Paine's celery compound has
cured. Ter husband writes:
"My wife could not get any rest and
her head troubled her all the time.
She was very lame at times and when
she was lying in bed she was so nerv-
GUS thai she could not keep her limbs
quiet. Her system was completely run
down. We tried doctors and almost
every kind of medicine, but she could
get no relief until she began taking
Paine's celery compound. After she
had taken three bottles OF the COM I
pound she began to grow stronger and
her nervousness left her and She SAYS
that she would not be without it for
all the world. The enclosed photo
graph was taken after she had used
three bottles Of the compound"
Testimonials might be published by
hundreds. They al, go to show that
for any Of those complaints that arise
from an impaired nervous system or
impure blood Paine's celery COM
pound should invariably be taken
for il makes people well.

Dangerous, If True.

Gov. Woodbury. has the reputation
OF being clear-headed executive and
for this reason we are almost inclined
to doubt the correctness of the fol-
lowing item which appeared in state
papers of last week.
w. B. McCarty, who was sentenced
to 80 days Imprisonment at the house
OF correction for keeping liquor at the
last term of court held at Burlington,
was brought to the institution ycster-
day. He was no sooner placed in the
institution than pardon from Gov.
Woodbury. was produced and the
prisoner was Immediately released.
The pardon was granted on the con-
dition that McCarty goes out of the
liquor business.
Some papers stated that Gov. Wood
bury said he would be glad to furnish
a pardon to every convicted liquor
dealer in the state on like terms.
Now it seems as if there must be
circumstances in connection with this
case Of McCarty that moved the gov
ernor to this action circumstance
other than those made public. There
must be some mistake. We can hard
ly believe that Gov. Woodbury. gave
utterance to the sentiments attributed
to him. If he did, if he is correctly
reported, we trust he will stop to con-
slider to what dangerous end such log
ic will surely lead him.
The law of our state makes liquor
selling a crime, as much a crime as
theft or arson. The chief executive
has no right to draw distinction be-
tween crimes where the law does not.
Ii he proclaims willingness to par
don criminals of one class in case they
promise TO reform, he should do so for
all classes. II the rumseller is to es-
cape punishment by 'prison rcpen-
tance,' why not the thief or the fire.
bug as well? Most any man will
promise to reform under such circlrm-
stances. Yet if it were deemed wise
to grant general amnesty to all
criminals who would agree to behave
in future, the legislature would have
to the matter and provided
statutes to cover it. That it has failed
to do this should be sufficient reason
for the governor to '.go slow in
granting pardons on promises TO re-
form.
II this is the true reason for Nc
Carty's pardon, the governor un-
conceives that he is doing
practical temperance work. McCarty |
has been for years engaged in the rum
business. He has been fined repeat
ndly but still kept on and no doubt
has accumulated money from his ille-
gal traffic. Finally, he was convicted
Of an oflense which meant imprison-
ment. The word went around that
.McCarty must go to Rutland this
ime sure" He went, had u pleasant
rip at the states expense, produced

louse Of correction, bowed pleasantly

The report of Hon. Victor !. Spear,
statistical secretary Of the Board Of
Agriculture, which we publish this
week, makes interesting reading for
Nermonters. 1t shows a gratifying
decrease in the number OF abandoned
farms within the past few years, which
has continued until this class of prop
erty is well-nigh extinct. Our people
are alive to the importance of secur-
ing their share of summer travel, as is
evidenced by the large number who
have solicited patronage of this ma.
ture. The most pleasing feature of
the report is that relating to the es-
tablishment of new industries during
the year. The sum Of 81, 1926 has
been invested in new manufacturing
enterprises, giving employment to
1867 persons. This is nearly three
times the amount invested during the
previous year and largely in excess Of
the showing of any recent year. The
prospect for 1895 is fully as good as
for 1894. Let every Vermonter swing
his hat and cheer for his native state;
then pull off his coat and 90 to work

he keeps his promise or not. If he
does, he will thrive on his illicit gains
of the pasta glorious example of the
successful rumseller. If he breaks his
word and continues in the liquor

some .'dummy" to conduct il for him

INACTIVITY"

Little by little the truths concerning the
Armenian atrocities are coming out. Yes
terday's news in London, from a most
authentic source, confirmed the opinions
given long ago in these columns. The mas
sacres were ordered by the Ottoman gov
eriiment. and were superlntended and dl-
rected by Its official representatives; they
were committed chiefly in those p ovinces
to which the scheme of reform of May II
was to be applied; and their object was to
reduce the Christian population to h pc
less minority, so that after the adoption
of the reforms Mahometan local rule
might be maintained. These are the
charges that Americans have made
and they are now corroborated by an
English correspondent who. we are told,
rs able TO speak with the accuracy OF
any ambassador"
SO, too, the reasons OF the inactivity OF
the powers are revealed. A day or two
ago the astounding excuse was put for
ward In Germany that Intervention would

Westminster wrote to Salisbury, urging
immediate action. Lord Salisbury re-
piled that II was impossible; the other
powers would not agree to IT. for "al-
though public opinion was much moved
In England at the horrors in Armenia
no such deep feeling existed in contl-
mental countries" In other words the
nations of Europe are able to witness
with apathy and Indifference the perpe-
tration of a thousand Cawnpore mas
sacres at their very doors.
Awful as this accusation is, It's truth
is scarcely to be challenged. The facts
are indubitable, The massacres are taxi

apathetic. Nor is the explanation of 1t

A stately fir tree rears its head,
With stars and tapers all ablaze;
And quiverlng in the fairy ray,
The glittering loaded branches spread.
And childish eyes are sparkling bright
And childish hearts with joy oerlow,
And on that birthday long ago
They ponder with a grave delight.
Then to their gifts they turn once more
And in the present sunshine lost,
They fear no future tempest toss'd,
But into fairy regions soar.

Its Baroness Concealed by the Rich Gifts
of the Devout for Ages.
No one thing in the gospel story appeals
more to the hearts of young and old
alike than that the Redeemer of Men was
born in a place so lowly as a manger,
out of which beasts were wont to take
their food. Every one who has heard the
immortal narrative of that birth has tired
to picture to himself the scene-that
rough stable, followed out of the rocks
where Christianity had its origin.
The poverty and squalor of that scene
have been of wondrous power in affect
ing the hearts of all of us. We have
pondered the rude features of that en-
vironment until it has gained a romantic
place in our thoughts. Few of us have
not hoped we might sooner or later look
on that historic spot, so fraught with
rortents for mankind.
But the visitor to Bethlehem Is doomed
to disappointment. There Is no stable
