DOES YOUR HAIR COME
 OUT?
Docs your head itch2 Ia yOur head full of flaT


 Is your head full of dandruff?
 Does your hair teel harsh?
 These are symptoms of a scalp trouble and indicate that disease germs are at work, and if allowed to remain unmolested eventually produce badness, which is practically incur. able.
 The disease germs work at the roots of the hair, destroytngsits lite, vitality and lustre. and at length cause 1t 10 fall out.
 The presence of dandruff Is an annoyance to person, and 1t has an unsightly appearance and is dangerous, from the fact that it indi. cntes disease.
 For treatment we would suggest that you try Barnum's Glycero Quinine Hair Tonic It has stood the test of several years' use and we honestly recommend 1t as the best tonic tor the hair and scalp on the market. It kills the disease germs and thus removes the direct cause. It stimulates the hair follides to heal thy action and prevents dandruff It is not a dye and can be applied without affecting in the least the natural color of the hair. . A few applications mase the hair soft and the scalp clean and healthy.
 Price only 50 cents per bottle.
 Manufactured and sold only at The Barnum Pharmacy, A. l., Dickinson, Prop. corner Main and White streets, Danbury.

BETHEL.
THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

Bethel is no license town, this year. A part of the saloons will probably close, others will probably run jug tavern, selling pop beer and hard cider to be drunk off the premises. It Is pretty evil dent from the way things start of Bethel will be anything but temperance town the next year. Thousands of barrels of cider are being stored in town, probably for the express purpose of being sold by the pailfuI or gallon to whoever calls. either drunk or sober. Unless something is done to ahete the nuisance of drunken persons being on the streets at all hours of the day or night, drinking from old tin cans or pails wherever they happen to be before ladies or school children (tS makes no difference to some people, they are too low to live in 8 decent commun- ity), then we had better have license and police force to keep order. The arguments used two years ago to carry
 the vote for license was that there was more drunken persons on our streets. with no license than there would DC IT we had license saloon where persons would go to drlnk and keep oil the streets. One thing Is certain if the tenn perence people of the town do not want to suffer disgraceful defeat one year from this fall, something must be done to keep better order and arrest all dis graceful persons on the public streets
 Let all good citizens band together for the public good and say this state of things must be stopped and 1t will stop'

President Mckinley Decides America Will
Keep GU. Of TransyaaI Dispute.

Washington. Oct. 12.-The following
official statement was issued by the state
department, today:
The President has received a large
number Of petitions signed by many ciii-
Zens Of distinction. requesting him 10 ten
der the mediation of the United States to
settle the differences existing between the
government OF Great Britain ana that of
The Transyaal. He has received orncr
petitions on the same subject. some OF
them desiring him TO make common cause
with Great Britain to redress the wrongs
alleged to have been suffered by the Out
ianders and especially by American citi-
Zens in the IransVaal, and others wish
ing him To assist the Beers against al
legged aggression. 1t is understood that
the President does not think 1t eXpedient
to axe action in any of these directions
AS to taking sides with either party to
the dispute. it is not TO be thought of.
AS to mediation. the President has re
ccived no intimatiOn from either Of tn.
countries interested that the mediation OF
the United States would be accepted, and
both parties, there is nothing in the rules
Of international usage 10 justify an offer
Of mediat ton in the present circum
stances. Ii is known that the President
sincerely hopes and desires that hOsti.i-
ties may he avoided but if unfortunately
they should come to pass, the efforts of
this government will be dircctcd-as they
are at present-to seeing that neither our
national interests nor those Of our c1u-
Zcns shall suffer unnecessary injury

THE MINISTER'S COFFEE

II used the Old fashioned coffee
from my babyhood. and like many
others. thought l could not live with
out it. Was in the army four years
during the Rebellion and came out
very much broken in health. | was
compelled to quit the active work Of
the ministry for more than a year at a
time, suffering terribly from stomach
and intestinal troubles and torpid
liver With the consequent nervous
headache and prostration, lumbago
and rheuma tism.
-Four years ago. being confined to
bed with these troubles and liberation
Of the liver, my physician positively
forbade the use Of coffee and brought
me some Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
Since that time, myself and family
have used no other coffee. All my in
testinal trouble has been greatly re-
lievcd, and I no longer suffer from
rheumatism and very little from tor
pid liver or bliousness.
Il am fully convinced that coffee is
very largely responsible for the greater
part of all stomach. intestinal and
liver troubles from which people suffer.
| am now IS years Old, and my health
has been 50 much improved that | do
as much work as | ever did, and with
about as much comfort. I can con-
scientiously attribute it chiefly to the
use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
There are several friends who have
had valuable experience with the lcav-
ing off of coffee and the use of Postum
Food Coffee. 1t gives me pleasure t.

understand that the very general cause
of sickness is, | consider. largely at
tributable TO mistakes in the use of
