The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be de-
rived from a good medicine, is early
in the year. This is the season when
the tired body, weakened organs and
nervous system ycarn for building
up medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait>for'the open spring wealth
er and, in fact, delay giving attention
to their physical condition so long
that long siege of sickness is inev-
table. To rid the system of impu-
rites accumulated during the winter
season, to purify the blood and to
invigorate the whole systom, there is
nothing czua to Hoods Sarsaparila.
Don't put it off, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla now. 1t will do you
good. Read the testimonials pub
lished in behalf of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, all from reliable, grateful peo-
pie. They tell the story.

publican papers as to the Rutland

eff there is anything on this earth
that is dirt mean it is the attack of

Nermont's Democracy-..Talk Of a
Fighting Policy.

81 have long believed that the pol
icy the Vermont Democrats ought to
adopt is one of fight in every cam
pa,gn, in every inch of the territory"
said Charles II. Davenport of Brat
tleboro to Il Boston Globe reporter.
"We have had in the last IS years Il
succession of local issues, which a
fighting policy would have utilized
to have made the. State doubtful by
this time, and We have some good
ones yet, issues that bear directly on
Democratic principles and the Dem
ocratic philosophy.
Gone is the prohibit6ry rawi which
ought to be replaced by local OPP
ton high-license law, on the,Demo-
cratic theory of home rule, bringing
control of all government questions
as nearly as possible down to the
people.
ut would be the best promoter of
temperance itself by the constant ag-
itation and popular thought it would
concentrate upon the subject, and it
would put an end to the corruption
and the infinite decentralization that
necessarily increases the farther any
duty is removed from the people.
This is plain enough, certainly, to all
who believe in Democratic theories,
and it is crime, almost, tor Demo-
Gratis to lie still and see SO much
evil flowing from disregard OF these
principles. A campaign might be
made on this issue that would arouse

Some Political History.

The fact ought tobe photographed
that the present government deficit
in revenues began IN the Harrison
administration and under the Nc
kinlcy bill. The other companion
picture is that Harrison's secretary of
the treasury, Foster, gave the first
order for the issue of bonds to meet
the deficit, but when he found that
the Democrats had won the fight he
managed to postpone the evil day
until the Democratic administration
came into power. Don't let these
facts escape your memory.-[ Kan

many so-called Kidney cures, but
without any good result. About a
