VALUABLE HINTS

Which Suggested Themselves to the
 Writer While Conversing With the
 Keeper of a Cemetery,
 It is astonishing that men live when we read the history of their disorders It is more astonishing that they die when we read of "curealls.' Yet death neither spares Napoleon who supplied subjects by the wholesale; nor physi- cians who helped the work along by re- tail; not even the grave digger who has spent life time in covering up the good as we'll as the bad deeds of his neighbors He at last is consigned to his bed of clay and is covered by hls own shovel to be succeed by younger member who awaits the same doom As our representative interviewed MT A. P. Corning. or 76 Lafayette St Nor wich, Conn the keeper of the Yantic cemetery, the above thoughts suggested themselves from the opening sentences Of that interview. II believe" said Mir Corning, "thst quite percentage of people would not be here had they known of Doan's Kidney Pills. Like myself know of dozens who are now buried that had kidney and urinary trouble for years. I paid out myself in this city $90.0 to one doctor, and his treatment did not benefit me half as much as one box of Doan's Kidney Pills. Besides physicians treatment I took all kinds of medicine advertised to be 'curealls' for disordered kidneys Some may have given me slight tenn porary relief. but none of it was lasting. It is to be remembered that am over 60 years old, and any medicine that helps man of that age. let alone cure him must have more than ordinary mer- it. My advice to all sufferers from either irritated or inactive kidneys is to try Deans Kidney Pills, they will not be disappointed.

Mark Hanna's picture is rapidly crowding that of Lydia Pinkham out of the Ohio newspapers. rs.-New Haven Un- ion. ..
 When man gets drunk and howls around, kicks, bites, scratches and gets locked up, tried, fined and sentenced. he never thinks of blaming the men who sold him the liquor, the policeman who arrested him, or the judge who sentenc- ed him, but he goes for the newspape r man who puts his name in print. and threatens to pummel him and his friends, and likely as not his wife, cry out for shamel for printing such stuff.-Berk- shire Courier.

 Judge Roraback made his debut as Superior court judge in New Haven yesterday, at the short calendar term. He received cordial welcome from the legal fraternity of New Haven county, to whom he was we'll known and with whom he enjoys large degree of popu- larity. Judge Rorabaek IS destined to become one of the most popular judges on the bench, He is at all times ap- proachabls and affable. and utterly lacking in that cold, naughty bearing that repels rather than attracts.

The world may not realize it. but there are men up North who are walking right into death. It is frightful thing to think of; but it is true, and these men should be stopped.

Instead of kicking about the town ticket of your party, attend the caucus and make your kick there and it will have some effect. Don't claim that town politics are getting corrupt and stay at home yourself and let the eau cuses run themselves. It is responsi- bility that rests on you that you should attend the caucus and do your utmost to nominate the best ticket possible. Good politics, clean politics are not procurable for any town if the cauouses are left to few who are perfectly will ing to run them.
