CHlEE CAUSE

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause Of bladder t. ou-
bles So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT Gated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set YOUR urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; a sediment of settling IN
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mile and the extraordinary effect of DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney
ard bladder remedy is soon realized.

The bladder was created for one pur-

and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action

thousand Spaniards were overcome bv
The six hundred. Aiterward occurred
the dress parade. The men again stood
in double line, their beautiful silk flag
supported in the centre, and opposite
Col. Huntington and his officers. A fine
marine band marched the length OF the
line playing the glorious Star Spangled
Banner. Both marine and regimental
bands always play that sacred battle
hymn in the slow measure Of a march.
and never was it more inspiringly rend-
cred than at this time, the bugle almost
pronouncing the wel-known words.
Motionless as stone stood the men, the
lowering sun behind them bringing out
with sudden distnctnes their stalwart fig
ures. faded uniforms, battered bro wn hats
and strong faces. 1t was most impressive.
tanamo
After short drill officers and men Civ
ing distinguished evidence of mastery
handling by the commander, followed the
counter. march to town. fastening to the
long bridge some distance in advance one
could see the procession, with it's battle
hags, winding over the field, down the
banks and over the lower bridge. 1t
was beautiful sight.
Conspicuous in the line OF march were
Fitzgerald, the little white goat, and
Dewey, the dog, that were on the battle
field. While the marines were at table
they frolicked over the field, but when
their masters took their places in the
ranks they did the same, even during the
charge, following with accurate move
ment.
The field was soon deserted, and streets
again thronged with people. Great pleas
ure was evinced by all in line, specially
the marines, upon repeatedly seeing the
same friends at different points, waving
hands, touching hats, in response to the
continual cheering. After the procession
was dismissed the different bodies pro-
ceeded to their various destinations,
those from the navy yard and island
returning by ferry boats. As the New
march WAS starting for Kittery Point,
en- route for Camp Hey wood, with the
battalion, the writer, well known to
most of the men, was standing alone
at the Shoals landing waiting for spec
ial launch. AS the boat turned and the
landing came in view ringing cheers were
sent up by the entire battalion, and
when the Chautauqua salute was re-
turned there was again lusty cheering.
1t was proud moment for any Ameri-
can woman. The jubilee was notable
one, never to be forgotten by any who
were in the port on this historic occa-
sion. All Portsmouth is rejoicing today
over the grand demonstration, and one
fervently unites with them in calling
down blessings upon all patriots in the
United States service gathered at their
harbor specially the Fighting Six Hun
dred," not forgetting all our other heroes
scattered over the land.

State Board of Health.
Some Of the Efficient Work Which 1t Is Doing
for the Public Good.

Some OF the Efficient Work Which II Is Doing
for the Public Good.
An interesting feature of the Vermonter
for September is an article on our YER
mont State Board of Health, covering it's
history since its creation in 1886, and
giving some account of its work. This
paragraph is OF interest:
During the first six years after the or
ganiz alton of the board much good work
was done. At each biennial session of
the legislature an attempt was made to
amend the law so as to render it more
efficient, but little change for the better
was made until 1892, when the act was
so amended as to give the board power
to promulgate more stringent rules and
regula tions and also what was lacking
beore-authority to enforce them. This
made revolution in the working of the
board. Since that time it has been pos
sible to limit the spread OF infectious
diseases in nearly every instance. The
health authorities now feel that the
dreaded diseases, typhoid fever, scarlet
fever, and diphtheria, can be handled in
such manner as to prevent healthy
persons from becoming infected. Where
the infection is in drinking water, as was
the case in the epidemics in Windsor, ST..
Johnsbury and Barre, a large number OF
persons may be infected before the source
OF the poison is known, but as soon as
the source can be located the spread may
be limited, if proper means are employed
for its suppression. The source may be
in milk as was in the outbreak of scarlet
in different parts of the village were in
tected at nearly the same time. 1t took
two days to determine the source and
Immediately its spread was limited"
One OF the most useful and important
features OF the work which the board is
now doing is that at the laboratory at
Burlington, established last February,
under the principal dictatorship of DR.. ].
H. Linsley, for the examination OF sus-
pected cases of typhoid fever and diphthe-
ria. The laboratory contains all the
necessary equipments for this kind OF
work, and any physician in the state
may send them cultures from any sus-
pected cases of these diseases to aid him
in his diagnosis and treatment. That
the laboratory work is appreciated and
made use of is shown by the fact from
February to September 1,167 examina-
tions were made for diagnosis OF typhoid
fever, with results positive in 1873 and
negative in 34 that is, 1873 of the sus-
pectcd cases proved to be typhoid fever.
During the same period ACT examina-
tions were made for diagnosis in sus-
pected cases Of dIphtheria, with results
positive in DAT and negative in 100.

alone would fill book-dehciencies so
glaring as to make one stare-the lack of
system in loading transports, which
made confusion in the unloading; sepera-
ton of articles that should be together;
mixing Of hospital supplies with general
merchandise; and the storing deep in the
holds of the transports things wanted
first, while things not wanted were
heaped on top.
There were incompetent officials in
plenty-but how could it be otherwise
when we consider the attitude Of onr
government toward the army for the
last thirty years? Not in the memory OF
the present generation of officers had
there before been an assembling of the
army-nor even man9uvres in divisions
or corps. Distributed throughout the
country, broken up for post and garrison
duty, what else but confusion and blum
dering could be expected to ensue when
quartermasters and others who had
never seen more than fragments were
called upon for swift and systematic
handling of large bodies of men? For
years the government has cut the army
into fragmental duty, scattered its staff
organization, denied its facilities for
corps drill, and it's staff experience in
transportation, refused to keep reserve

Is the st. Adams Messenger. daily or
weekly, why? Because it is the leading
newspaper in Vermont. Because it will
print the official reports of the proceed
ings OF both branches of the legislature
complete and unabridged. This will be
invaluable to every one. Only one other
paper will attempt to do this. Because
it is Vermont newspaper that thorough

more space to Vermont matters than
any other paper. Because it will have
reliable man in each branch Of the Legis.
lature, who will keep its readers fully in
formed on all important matters. Here
to(ore the papers have devoted all their

Yates in the service of the United States.
The marines are not only overwhelming
fighters, but without a single exception
are courteous and chivalrous to de-
gree, and most appreciative of the small
est favor. from civilians, declaring that
kind, encouraging word is more to the
soldier than money" More than once
tears have glistened in brave, honest
eyes, proving hearts as tender as they
are invincible. One OF them said yester-
day, IF all the prayers of the marines
for you are answered you won't go to
hi, but you'll.go to heaven with flying
coors."
An exciting event followed the short
period of rest. The First Battalion was
formed in double line, and marched to
the low ground below the earthworks OF
1912, now high, grassy mounds, upon
which stood thousands of spectators.
The men formed again in platoons,
wheel. d. and the storming began. They
dropped into the long tangled grass,
every gun pointed to the earthworks,
aud rapidly clicking as with cartridges
In action. At command, every one was
on his feet in flash, dashed forward as
one man, dropped again full length, re-
peating the maneuver several times.
They charged right up to the top OF the
earthworks, among the peaceable citi-
zens who were admiring and applauding
them with all their existence, putting all
to fight. The first thrill of excitement
mounted to the widest enthusiasm. One
often witnesses the skirmish drill in an
armory, but it is as play compared with
the brilliant dash and almost. grim re-
atty of this battalion. After seeing them
one may readily comprehend how six

And suddenly, when called on to exhibit

means at times to march all night, to go
