Gladness Comes

With better understanding CT the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
.forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatedeondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most sl1illful
physicians. but if in peed of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used dgives most general satisfaction.

The practical development OF acetylen,
gas is being watched with keen interest
and those who have reliable information
concerning the matter feel justified In
saying that acetylene will probably be.
come valuable illuminant sometime In
the future, but at least many months
and possibly several years, must elapst
before 1t can be manufactured in sufii
Gent quantities to supply the wants OIL
villages situated as this one Is. 1t requires
expensive and carefully constructed ma.
chinery and appliances to produce the car
bide from which the gas is formed, and
much OF this machinery is still in an ex-
detrimental stage. For its profitable man.
ufacture, acetylene requires very pure
specimens Of lime and coke, and very
large amount Of electrical energy-that ie
to say, enough to evolve current produc-
ing In furnaces at least seven thousand
degrees OF heat, which will fuse the lime
and carbon. Without this fusion, the
chemical change does not occur; coke and
lime remain coke and lime, instead OF
becoming carbide. 1t Is estimated that
electrical energy to the amount OF two
hundred horse power will produce about
q ton day OF carbide, which is equiva-
lent to about 10000 feet OF gas. The only
place in the United States where acetylene
is manufactured at present is In North
Carolina, and it is produced there 10 d
crude and Improbable way, owing to a
lack OF suitable appliances. When the
plant now in process OF construction at
Niagara is completed, something more
definite may be known. The chemical
compound called carbide is dark col
ored substance emitting gaseous odor,
and when it is brought in contact with
water, the latter boils and bubbles, and
the acetylene gas rises in the form OF
vapor, which, on being ignited, burns
with clear bright flame.

A Suggestion.
Some time ago, when in Randolph,
found it necessary to examine the towr
records. ! was directed to the office Of
the town clerk and was very pleasantly
received by that courteous official, who
assisted me in every way in his power tc
secure the needed information.
After coming away, could not help
thinking OF where found those books Of
records and wondered II the people Of
your picturesque village realized how IL
able those records were to be destroyed
Should the building wherein the office Ia
located, catch fire and become more OF
less burnt, certainly should question the
safety OF those books.
The safes in which they are contained,
are very old and entirely unsuited to pre-
serve them 10 hot fire. am aware that
your village enjoys water service second
to none in the state, and a fine fire de-
partment, but in spite OF these, fire may
come at any time.
The records are OF great value and
hope something may be done by the viii
lage fathers to preserve them.

Armenian Resolutions.

The committee OF five clergymen, ap.
pointed to draft resolutions expressing
the sentiment OF Randolph people toward
the Armenian persecution, drew up the
following articles, copies Of which are to
be sent to the Vermont senators and rep
resentatives with the request that they
use their influence to have Congress take
suitable measures to protect and relieve
the oppressed Christians:
WHEREAS, The reports from Turkey
tell OF horrible cruelty and base outrage
on the part OF the Turks toward the Ar
menians, and
y WHEREAS, The Kurds, and even the
Turkish troops have apparently been let
loose upon an inoffensive peasant people
for no other reason than that they were
Christians, and the result has been a scene
