A Navy To BE Proud or

Ex-President Harrison in writing
of "This Country of Ours" in Octo-
Der Ladies Home journal reviews
our navy department, and tells of the
reconstruction of our new navy.
"We had no great ship -yalds, and no
ship. builders with the capital, the
skilled labor and the experience to fit
them to enter this new field" he
writes. "John Roach, however, had
the courage to believe that he could
create competent shop and build the
new vessels. He put everything at
risk and should have had better treat
ment from the Government than he
received. He was fairly entitled to
some of the profits that have since
accrued to those who have walked in
the path he blazed. We have now,
both on the Atlantic and Pacific,
ship-yards and builders capable of
constructing any ship and Of putting
into her any machinery of the first eff
liciency. We have also great steel
plants, costing millions of money and
capable of making armor plates of
the highest resisting power, and steel
gun forgings of the finest quality.
These great ship-yards and steel
plants are convincing proofs that the
supremacy we once had in wooden
ship building may be attained-if it
has not already been attained-in
steel ships. Practically
all of this work has been done within
ten years, and the Secretaries of the
Navy who have presided over and d.
rected it; the constructors and ord
nance officers of the Navy who have
furnished the plans and designs, and
the steel-makers and ship-buiders
who have executed these plans are
entitled to the highest praise. We
have always had Navy personnel to
be proud of-not a finished Navy,
but one on the way. A new battle
ship is new argument for interna-
tlonal arbitration-for you must have
noticed that peremptory demands for
a fixed amount of damages are usually
made upon nations that have no bat
tle-ships nor torpedo boats. 1t is
not our plan, am sure, to match the
great nayies of Europe. We may
safely keep our register of vessels
well within theirs but we do not in
tend again to leave the sea-"

Fads in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in every
thing else and ''new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because it is
new But in medicine, as in nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood
its ground against all competition, and
its sales have never wavered but have re-
NAMED steadily at the top, demonstrates
beyond any doubt the intrinsic virtues of
this medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla
rests upon the solid foundation of abso-
lutte merit and its power to cure, and its
sales continue to be the largest in the
world.

New Industries in Black River valley.

New Industries In Black River valley.
We learn from lengthy article in
the Rutland Herald of Monday that
the Black River valley, in the vicini-
ty of Prvctorsville and Cavendsh, is
on the eve of receiving three important
industries, an electric power plant, a
silk ribbon factory and boot and shoe
mauufactory. The former will be To-
Gated at Cavendish Falls where fall
of 100 feet uan be obtained which will
give 1000 horse power at the cleo
trio station, sufficient to run the manu-
featuring Of the valley. The boot and
shoe plant will be put in at Proctors-
vile by a Lynn, Mass, firm. The
ribbon factory will be located at what
is known as Smithville, mile and
half below Ludlow, and will be the re-
suit Of the enterprise of j. S. Gill.
In an interview with the Herald Mr.
Gill said;
The machinery had been bought in
New York and that operations would
be begun December | il. Mckinley is
elected. "Otherwise," said Mr.. Gill,
"the factory, together with my wooden
mills, will be shut down indefinitely"
Mr.. Gill is SO confident that the repub-
lican party will win in the present cam
paign that he is putting everything in
readiness to start the machinery at his
factory. He is also running his wooden
mills at q loss, feeling sure that in
November, with the prospect of a pro,
tective administration, times will I'M
prove. The power plant is backed by
Rutland and Cavendish parties and
engineers are now at work upon it.

"tn this whistling form Of cholera"
said DR.. Gilday to a New York World re-
porter, "the disease would be much
more apt to affect boys than girls, for
an obvious reason. He don't think it at all
likely that it ever attacks an adult. 1t
could occur in any climate, but the
spring months would be more likely to
develop cases.
at would be difficult to say just what
physical conditions cause whistling to
become an uncomfortable habit. Ex-
element, overstudy, orerwork or in
testinal irritation may excite it, but l
imagine that the lack Of proper nutri-
ton underlies most cases.
"fn severe cases mental excitement
and even delirium might come on. The
mind is pretty sure to be dulled and the
temper made irritable. The appetite
is poor and capricious and the tongue
coated. Nutrition fails and there is
strong tendency to loss of flesh. The
disease is apt to be more marked in the
morning than at night. The muscles
are weakened, but there is rarely any
pain or tenderness.
"The most important single factor in
the treatment of whistling cholera is
rest. The child should not be allowed
to take violent exercise or to have any
excitement. Cold sponging or the spray
daily along the back is useful. He
should be given plenty of nourishing
food and iron.

Richard Perkins. Like the majority Of
boys he whistled almost continually.
Soon he whistled from morning to
night, and even in his sleep. He
couldn't break the habit.
Incessant whistling caused great
strain on the nervous system, so that
it seriously affected his health. Loss
OF appetite and flesh followed and the
boy began to waste away and go into
rapid decline. Then he was taken in
hand and is now being treated by a
local physician.

A Writer in the Boston Sunday
Journal thus shows up some OF the
beauties of Vermont's system of taxa
ton:
To illustrate, a man buys farm for
$4,000, and is not able to pay cent
for it. He gives his note for $4,000,
and the holder of the note mortgage
on the farm. When the grand list is
taken for taxation purposes the man
who bought the farm is assessed taxes
upon a $4,000 farm, while the holder
of the mortgage is assessed taxes upon
a $4,000 note. On the other hand
suppose man has $4,000 in cash, and
it is time for the grand list to be taken.
The law allows him to put $500 in a
savings bank and pay no more taxes
upon it. Suppose he has a wife and
two children. He can go to the saw
ings bank and deposit $500 in his
name, $500 in his wife's name, and
$500 in each of the children's name.
Then the only revenue which the state
can secure from the $4,000 is from the
corporation tax which is assessed upon
the bank in which the deposit is made.
This leaves the town and county in
which the capitalist resides without any
revenue from this sum, the whole a
mount of taxes assessed going directly
to the state treasury. 1t is the equal
cation of this system of taxation tina
