Get a Start
On Cafarrh

Those who get start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most OBJ
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,
washes, inhaIations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do

which is cleansing, soothing, protecting and
healing. Such a remedy is Ely's Cream Balm

The Balm when placed in the nostrils, spreads

Another Word for Prohibition.

If Vermont's prosperity is dependent

action to give the rum and beer ele-

In this city of Cambridge we have
had prohibition since May, 1887. We
have gained largely in population.
wealth and good order and happiness.
We do not expect to reform many
who have acquired the habit. but we

The GovernorshIp.

The governorship campaign is almost
at hand and as yet there is hardly a
ripple on the surface, though we hear
that agencies are at work in many
quarters trying to bring about the nom
ination of two certain gentlemen for
the place. 1t is reported that the lead
ing politicians and workers in most
localities have already been fixed for
one orthe other of these men and they
are expected to 'Go the rest"
Now as one not essentially a politi-
clan or a worker, but as plain Repub-
lican voter and citizen of Vermont we
seek little light. We want to know
who these men are that aspire to the
highest office in the gift of the state.
We want further to know what especial
qualifications they possess; what they
lave done to merit the place, and why
he Republican party should thus honor
hem.
