like themselves, are in harmony with the people

legions of miscalled experts and legitimate
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
the front rank of respectable professionalism as
acknowledged originators of the new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans

Legality OF Posting Brooks to he Decided
AT the request of the state fish and

AT the request Of the state fish and
game league, States Attorney Fred
A. Rowland of Windsor county is to
make test case to decide the con-
stltutionality of the law pertaining to
the posting of brooks and streams
and prohibiting fishing.
The case is to be argued in Supreme
court at the present session and is the
last one on the list assigned for tial.
1t is known as state against William
N. Therriault. Mr.. Rowland ap.
pears for the state and John II. Sem
ter for the defense.
Mr.. Therriault is student in the
law office of Dillingham;, Huse &
Rowland at White River junction.
Acting under instructions from Mr..
Rowland and the fish and game
league he visited Hale brook in Mid
dlesex a short time ago in pursuit of
fish. He was supposed to be in pur.
suit of fish, but, on that day they
didn't happen to bite.
1t was not necessary for him to be
proficient in the art of fishing as long
as he threw his line into the brook
and wabbled it around.
He walked some distance along the
Hale brook. 1t was placarded every
few steps by signs which read along
this line: "No fishing here )" "Fish-
ing amt allowed here, get out !" "No
hooking fish in this brook" and ssPer
sons will be dealt with according to
law who are caught fishing in this
stream" But the fisherman was
brave and they never phased him.
MI. Therriault tramped around
waiting for the fish warden to show
up, and when he did and had taken
HIM into custody he rolled up his cot
ton line, put his pin fishhook into his
pocket and departed calmly with him.
The. case was tried in the lower
court, and is now taken before Su-
preme court for final decision. The
case is new one and the fish and
game league, in order to have some
thing to work on, wish to have the
legality of the clause decided.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
lumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are

I told her fairy stories

AS we used to sit at evening
In the firelight's lambient glow.
She was tiny maiden
Yet she loved me then, / know,
When l told her fairy stories
In the old days long ago.
l told her fairy stories
When we had older grown;
Those tales of love and courage
That lovers long have known;
When we used to watch the shadows
Like tides incoming flow,
And she whispered that she loved me
In the old days long ago.

Almost every evening now;
But they've lost their old time glamol
And we've changed about somehow
For we've married one another,
Yet she loves me still, although
She don't believe the stories
