Of St. Louis, Mo-,
Home Comfort Range,

Pad p 1apital, &l,OOO,ODO.
D. L Carter, superintendent of the
Wrought Iron Range Company of ST.
Louis, and corps OF statesmen, left last
Monday for Skowhegan, Me-, where they
are TO be located for the present. Mr. Car
ter and his men have had their headquart-
ers at the Exchange Hotel since the mid
die of last October. and since that time
the territory within a radius OF fifty miles
of Montpelier has been thoroughly cover
ed by them In Chittenden, Orange and
Washington counties they have sold
G,o65 "Home Comfort" ranges, 400 of
which have been sold in Washington
county, OF the tifty-two that have been
placed inside the city limits of Montpelier
only one man has been in any way dis
satisfied, and, on the other hand, Mr..
Carter has in his possession written testi-
monials from many of our prominent
citizens who very strongly endorse the
ranges his men have sold here. Some
of these have been published in the
Waterman. Mr.. Carter came to Mont
pelier with gilt-edged recommendations
from clergymen, bankers and leading
citizens in places where he has been
formerly located. all of which he has
proved during his stay in Montpelier.
Personally he is a man with whom it is a
pleasure to do business, and both he and
his men have the "hustlen characteristic
of the West. The company that Mr..
Carter so ably representsis rated by R.
G.. Dunn & Co.. at "a million high"
Their business methods are strict one
OF their rules being to retain in their
employ no man who uses intoxicating
liquor in any form. If the seven sales
men who have their headquarters at the
Exchange for the past few months are
fair sample of their travelling men (and it
is right to presume they are), then their
400 or more men who are constantly on
the road constitute a body of men of
which any corporation might well be
proud. Since this company commenced
business it has sold over 32I,8 $50 "Home
Comfort" ranges. 1t was awarded the
six highest awards at the Worlds Fair,
six gold and silver medals at the New
Orleans Exposition, and the highest
awards given by the Western Fair AS
ISOLATION of London, Canada Mr.. Car
ter and his family have formed many
pleasant friendships during their stay in
Montpelier, and their departure is regret

A BOSTON LAWYER.
What MT. John P. wyman Says of
 Puritana

What MT. John P. Wyman Says of
 Puritana.
 The duties of his law practice make MT. John P. Wyman an exceedingly busy man, and yet, when asked by an &C., quaintance what he knew about Puritana, he took time briefly to recount his ex- perience. MT. Wyman writes:
 "I have long been subject to severe headaches and to other symptoms which seemed to indicate nervous affection of the stomach, Some weeks ago it occurred to me that there might be virtue in Puritana, which I was informed was the formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby of Darth- mouth College. As it gave evidence of being thoroughly good preparation, and as there was a chance that it might bring me the relief which I earnestly desired, tried it to the extent of several bottles.
 II am not enough of a medical man technically to diagnose my own case, or absolutely to measure the benefit derived from the use of Puritana, but know, as fact, that after had been using Puri- tana, I had better appetite, better nights sleep, and, practically, freedom from headaches, which had previously caused me much suffering.
 esThe result is that feel sure the credit can fairly be given to Puritana, and, while am not licensed to prescribe any medicine, am willing, on the basis of my own experience, to express the opinion that Puritana is an important remedy for troubles of the stomach and nerves

A long season of hot weather has used up the strength and pulled down the flesh of many people. Their stomachs have become week and tiaccid.
 This is noticed especially in the case of children whose digestions seem to be par alyzed by the first cold wave But it is also true of grown people, who are sur prised that the cool days of approaching fall make them feel worse, instead of better. They have increased appetites perhaps, but their enervated digestive organs are unable to properly assimilate their food.
 The time is coming for cold nights and mornings and warm moons, The clothing that is needed for the proper protection of the vital organs in the early morning becomes burdensome in the middle of the day. It is the season of drafts and sud- den changes, which find the system but poorly prepared to stand such strains
 Many deaths will result in this season, but the chief effect will be in the general loss of public health until the people in the community have been enabled to ad- just themselves to the new climatic con- ditions.
 All doctors agree that great care is needed both in food and clothing. Un- necessary exposure should be avoided, and especially should the stomach be given every possible assistance in its important functions. If the stomach is toned up and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys are kept in good working order, the whole machinery of life is given strength and renewed energy The stomach is the power producer of the human body, and 92 per cent. of all sickness comes from its failure to do it's proper work.

The case of Mrs. Castle indicates
that even in England there is diff
ference in the laws, or at least IN
their Interpretation, as between a
rich criminal and poor one. Here
tofore it has been one of our proud
est distinctions that we, of all the
nations of the earth, had these hair
splitting nicetles that separated theft
into degrees, ranging from just COM
mon thieving up through the grades
of pilfering, swiping, accumulatlng
and financiering, reduced to scien-
tifc bafis. Our judiciary, as a gen
eral rule would not have much
trouble in Distinguishing between the
hungry thief, who stole salmon, and
the wealthy kleptemaniac who
''klept'' a few diamonds! In Eng
land a conviction was had, which
shows that our English cousins are
not onto their job, since they par
doned, after conviction, instead of
recognizing that some people are
so exalted that stealing, instead of
being a vice, becomes virtue, and
the theft an object of distinguished
admiration. If Mrs. Castle was
guilty, she should have been made to
take her punishment; if really crazy,
she should not have been convicted
at all. If she was crazy, however,
there was good deal Of method in
her madness.
