Men who go out fishing in an open boat
in the midst of binding storm and enjoy
it, must be strong and healthy and are
pretty sure to live to ripe old age. IN
fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, a man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery Is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose It's principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach the large intestines and
the liver 1t facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive juices in the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large intestines. 1t invigorates
the liver and purihes and enriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve fihers. If a
mans blood is filed with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along with a
scanty amount of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system.

CITY HALL COMPLAINTS.

Attention of Chief brennan Called &c
the Defacinps of Walks and Lawn.
Chief of Police James NJ. brennan has
been requested to detail an officer about
City hall evenings. that people may be
kept off the lawn. Some people have
got i'm the habit of sitting on the grass
at the north end of the plaza, and
from the looks of things, must have dug
their heels into tile sward. The lawn
is torn up in places, and Janitor Saw1n
wants the traspassers removed. An
either matter called to the attention OF
the chief of police is the thoughtless-
ness of some men of defacing the walk
with tobacco juice.
Aside from the filthy condition re.
sultiug, the walks are becoming stained,
and an effort will be made to bring Of
tenders to realization of their Of
Tense.

NO NEW MONEY ORDERS YET.

Were the new rule of the post office
department regarding money orders to
become effective in every post office in
the country next Monday, the date on
which the new money-order blanks will
appear, the present system would soon
have outlived it's usefulness, the de-
partmept would waste great quantities
of useless blanks and the people of
Massachusetts would Immediately have
at their disposal a new form of money
order blanks that is more convenient
to handle than the old form. But
there is q full months supply of old
blanks in the Boston office, and Omar
F. Loring, the superintendent of the
money order division, is of the opinion
that no new blanks will be received
until the present supply has been used
up, as no special instructions have
been received yet.
The postal money order system, from
small beginning in 1854, when the
number of money order offices estab-
lished in the United States was 419, has
grown to be one of the great indis-
pensable agencies of exchange. There
are now about 10000 such offices. The
number of domestic money orders is
sued in the United States during the
past year was more than 100000 900,
amounting In value to $210, 000, 600 1t is
expected that on or about Jan /. 1900,
the fee. charged for orders will be re-
duced Nnaterially.

the insane ward of the city farm sew
eral months ago, has been located in
Maine. Upham escaped from the in
stitution one night by tying his blank
cts together and lowering himself from
a second story window. He was con-
sidered incapable of taking care of
himself, and as he has not been heard
from for so many months, it was
thought that he might have committed
suicide or wandered away and died
from exhaustion. wednesday Upham' S
wife came to the Home farm and asked
for his belongings, saying that her hus-
band was living with his brother in a
small town in Maine.

The Blood Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nation and times: but since Cain slew
Abel, blood red has been the sign of
revolt. In the earliest revolt known
to history, when the Persians rose
against their kings 1000 years ago,
they were led by blood-red banner
and during the riots which took place
only the other day in Paris the men
in the blood-red caps were followed
by the mob.
A blood-red flag waved over Bunker
Hill when the Americans fought us
for liberty, and 1t was the emblem of
the German peasants in their great up
rising in 1424. 1892 and 1925. Blood
red was the color of the Trade Union
flags during the middle ages, and it
formed the background of the emblem
of the Swiss Confederacy in 1915.
Through the whole of French and
every other national history, those
striking in their own ways for liberty
have worn the blood-red cap and hail
ed the blood-red banner as their
leader.
1t is curious fact that never has a
monarch chosen 1t as his color. 1t has
been left sacred to revolutionists.-
