Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections Of
the complexion, but none had vet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of 70 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc, never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, a kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishcs forever from the skin,
frecklcs, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery the Misses Bell WILL
during the present month, give to all call

The railroad committees of the two
houses have had three nights siege this
week with the Wall bill to incorporate the
Central Vermont railway company. The
opposition to the bill is from the unsecured
creditors, who believe that they are to be
frozen out of their claims by the proposed
plan of Reorganization. re The champion of
the bill before the committees was C. N.
Wilds of Middlebury, attorney for the
Grand Trunk railroad. The attorneys
have succeeded in adding to the haze of
the general public in regard to the matter.
The house has finally passed the bill to
compel all railroads in the state to sell
mileage books at two cents per mile.
1t is reported unoiiicially, but probably
from fact, that the railroad commission

Windham and opposed by Mr.. Davis of
Dover. The bill finally passed.

planning every item in question.
The bill to establish an insurance com
mission has been recommitted to public
hearing by the joint committee next Tues
day afternoon. Insurance men and others
who realize the importance of the rro-
posed change ought to be present to give
their arguments, and those unable to ap-
pear ought to be heard through letters and
petitions.

MONTPELIER, VI, Nov. s.
The great topic of conversation so far
this week has been the proposed investiga-
ton of the expenses of state officers and
states attorneys, which was gotten fairly
under way today when joint resolution
was adopted giving the committee power to
sit during the sessions of the House and
Senate and to call witnesses and to compel
them to testify. The joint committee as
finally made up is composed of Senators
Platt, Young and Foss and Representatives
Carpenter of Rutland, Ranney of Newport,
Ballard of Georgia, Eastman of Hartland
and Reynolds of Swanton. The committee
has engaged a stenographer and will begin
its sttings tomorrow.

Col. Clark, who commanded the I'd Mas
sachusetts regiment at Santiago, has talk
ed freely of the blunders there since he
was mustered out of the service. He says
Gen. Shafter was not competent to manage
the campaign. There were 40 pieces of
artillery at Tampa and Shafter took 1G
with which to invest Santiago. He march
ed unprotected infantry up against fortifi-
cations without the support of artillery
something unprecedented in military histo.
ry-though he did not recognize what he
had done until his troops were slaughtered.
There were 5000 mules at Tampa, but less
than 500 were taken to Cuba. Twelve out
of the 200 ambuances available were taken.
The medical supplies on the transports he
never had landed, although there was the
most terrible need for them almost imme-
diatey after. Regimental hospitals were
abolished in the fighting before Santiago
there were no ambulances, and the men
had to carry their comrades four or five
miles in litters improvised from blankets.
The supplies, brought up at first by pack
mules-as was necessary-and later, when
the roads were put through, by wagons,
did not reach the troops in sufficient guam
titles for the simple reason that there were
not enough pack-mules and wagons. The
result was that the men went on half ra-

The legislature has gone on record in
favor of the most pronounced imperialistic
policy by adopting the following resolu-
ton: Whereas, the war of the United
States against the kingdom Of Sp'in was
waged in the cause of human liberty, and
as the fortunes of war have placed in our
possession the Philippine islands with their
millions of oppressed and misgoverned
people, thereby imposing upon the Ameri-
can nation the duty of protecting and con-
ferring upon them the blessings of peace
and freedom; therefore be it resolved by
the senate and house of representatives
that, settling terms Of peace with Spain,
the United States ought to retain these
islands, and that the course of President
Mckinley in demanding their retention of
Spain, in the Paris conference, is heartily
approved"
