We live in country of which the
principal scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more dam
gerOus.
One thing that makes it so dangerous
is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because 1t
goes to the root of the trouble as no
other medicine does. The pure, harm
less, curative herbs and plants, of which
it is composed, are what render it so
certain and, at the same time, so gentle a
cure.
II helps and strengthens the stomach
purifies and tones up the system.

DEATH CAME TOO SOON.

Caroline Bond White Dies at Her IIomi
in Massachusetts, Friday Dee. 81.
The little party Of friends who gathered
az the residence of +. A. Bond in this
village one evening last summer anC
heard Mrs. Caroline Bond White sing
as a last selection Tostis beautiful
song Good Bye" did not dream thai
the words were prophetic of last fare
b we'll. When on New Years morning
the telegraph flashed the message from
Holyoke, Mass, that she had passe
away suddenly the evening before, thu
shock to her friends here was very great
1t was but few hours before that her
parents had received a letter saying that
she was doing well, and they were quite
as, unprepared for the Hateful message as
those less near the departed.
1t was known to Mrs. Whites friends
in this village that she had become the
mother of a fine boy baby the day before
Christmas, and the greatest interest was
manifested in the welfare of the mother
and child. All fears for the former we're
quickly set at rest by the news that
came of her rapid recovery.
At about / O'Clock on the afternoon of
the 3lst a sudden change for the worse
set in, ard in spite of the eXertions of
three physicians she passed away at 8
o'clock that night. \ clot of blood at
the heart was the cause of death.
The storm of that night had blocked
communication, and it was impossible to
get the announcement to Middlebury
until the next morning, when connec-
/ 81 I.
Bond and Misses Ella and Mabel Bond
| left for IIolyoke on the noon train, to be
present at the funeral, Mrs. White hav-
! ing expressed the wish to be buried at
IIolyoke. The entire family was present
with the exception of Mrs. Varney Of
Mankato, Mimi, who could not arrive in
time.
The funeral took place from the home
of the deceased. Mrs. Whites pastor,
Rev. f. A. Reed, conducted the services,
and the singing was by a quartette from
the South church choir of Springfield,
Mass, of which Mrs. White was mem
Der. The whole service was of the most
beautiful description. The casket was
completely banked with a profusion of
roses. pinks, Violets and ilies-of-the-
valley, and even the grave at Forestdale
cemetery was almost concealed by the
| flowers with which 1T was lined and
strewn, the offerings OF friends from
near and far. Friends from Boston,
Lynn and New York were among the
many who showed by their presence
their love and esteem for the dead.

MUST REDUCE OR STOP.

Boston, Feb. 5.-Mr T. Jefferson
Coolidge, treasurer of the Amoakeag
mills of Manchester, has returned
from trip to Florida. He says of
the general mill situation:
sOn the maintenance of the reduc
tion in wages depends the existence
of the New England mills. and strik-
ing agains. reduction is mistake
on the part of the operatives, who
are attempting to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. If the mill
hands desire to be out.of employment
they are taking the right course in
striking
NEARLY all of the southern mills
are prosperous The biggest mills
are earning large dividends but are
rarely paying 6 per cent, as they
are reserving their excess profits to
increase their quick capital
.sThe southern mills get some
advantage from cheaper coal and
cheaper cotton. but the wage ques.
ton is the greatest factor in their
favor. If it was not for the lower
wages paid in the south our mills
could compete with them without
trouble
Southern mills, having been built
later, are superior to the average
northern mill The best southern
operatives turn out just as much work
as the northern operatives, and are
just as intelligent
