DAVID KENNEDY, N. D.,
OF Rondout, (City of Kingston,) n. v.
~ SAYS.
Of Rondout,

"For over twenty-five years | have
constantly been engaged in the active
discharge of my profession as physician
and surgeon. During that career have
perfected an Alternative medicine, the
Favorite Remedy, upon the value of
which am willing to, and do stake my
personal and professional reputation"
"Favorite Remedy is the greatest dis
covery DR.. Kennedy has ever made"
1t is today a standard medicine with
thirty years of cures to its credit.
Allow no one to deceive you with their
GROWING efforts, latest achievements or
brilliant uits, counterfeits, limitations
or just as good. They are but expert
ments and endanger your health.
"Most physicians are ready enough to
give their services when a family is too
poor to pay, but it occasion ally happens
that there is a proprietary medicine
which does all or more than physician
could do.
"We know of only one such medicine
namely DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy for "such troubles as Kidney
and Bladder Complaints, rheumatism,
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Constipa-
ton and the sickness peculiar to women.
"Sufferers from these difficulties often
become so discouraged as TO have no
heart to take any more medicine. 10
all such, DR.. Kennedy has only to say
that if he were personally called upon
to prescribe at all, he would prescribe
Favorte Remedy"
There are other proprietary medicines
in the market. made by a person with
the same name and initial as my own,
and | have reason to believe that the
/ two are often confUunded in people :
minds. and that the other articles spoken
of have been substituted, either through
accident or design, when the latter have
/ been asked for, or desired. To avoid
this. please ask for DR.. David Kennedy
Favorlte Remedy, prepared in Rondout'
y. Y, and accept nothing else in its
place.
There are two proprietors of similar
names, but they are not connected ol
associated in business, or otherwise.

THE RUTLAND EXPANDING

To Absorb the Remington & Rutland in
to the Big system.
The Rutland railroad has taken another
of the moves predicted at the time the
Rutland Canadian corporation was form
ed and will soon absor" the Bennington
,S Rutland railroad. President Clement
has contracted to purchase all of the
stock of the latter road. with the eX-
ception of short strip of Fitchburg
railroad beyond Bennington. this will
give direct connection with the New
York Central at Troy and Albany.
In an interview General Mccullough,
president of the Bennington q Rutland
road said:
"The final arrangements for the trans
fer and virtual consolidation will soon
be consummated. This step will be
mutually beneficial to the two roads, TO
the patrons of each and to the general
public. Vermont, and especially west
ern Vermont, is to be heartily congratu-
lated over this natural consolidation. In
the first place, it brings her railroad
system into closer affiliation with the
New York Central, for doubtless the
Rutland, with the completion of its Rut-
! land-Canadan, will proceed to obtain
trackage rights or other privileges over
the titchburg to Troy and on to Albany,
and thus gve the travelling public not
only the most direct and continuous but
the most picturesque route from the
Grand Central depot to Montreal-up the
| Hudson, along the western Vermont
valley. by the shores and over the Islands

Bellows Falls, and over the Cheshire and
the Fitchburg to Boston and the east,
and over the Bennington Il Rutland to
New York and the south. Will furnish
the business community the cheapest
aud most eligible routes for moving
traffic.
"It has been the pride of the owners
of the Bennington & Rutland to keep its
physical condition up to the highest
standard and it will be the desire. as II
will be to .he interest, of the new pro-
pretors to keep and place it in even
better condition. in order that it may ac-
commodate the new business which this
new alliance must surely turn over to the
road. This consolidation, too, eliminates
the Washington county road as y
threatening or disturbing factor and il
is to be hoped forever forge together
the links in the chain of a western Yer
mont railway system, thus securing to
this section not only permanent
through line, but more frequent through
passenger snd freight trains, with better
facilities and higher grade of service.

The reason goes back TO Julius Caesar.
When he reformed the calendar, he
treated the year as if it contained 800
days exactly. In fact, it contained about
II minutes less than 800! days; to be ex-
act. 3G4 DAYS } hours IS minutes 4G
seconds. BY CW.ar's arrangement the
legal wear would be found to be one day
later than the solar year at the end Of
lbs years. When Pope Gregory NH
reformed the Julian calendar. he found
that the legal year was 10 days behind
the solar year. so he ordered that the
dav after Oct 3. lJS2, should be Oct
II. And to prevent the legal year
getting so far b. hind the solar year again
he ordered further that thereafter the
centurial years which could not bC
/ divided bv 100 should not be leap years
/ That j.. we borrow from the future i
minutes each year for 90 years, anC
rather more than pay them back in three
ccnturial years by having no leap years
and on the fourth centurial year ever
matters up again by having a leap year
The borrowing and paying back, unde
Pope Gregory's rule. are so well balanced
that there is an error of one day II
1928 years: when that period ha
elapsed, the legal year will be one da,

On Monday morning as an
lBERIAN reporter was crossing the
bridge over the Bayou, he saw a
man on one of the RATS about two
thousand feet below the bridge.
busily engaged in cutting away
masses OF water hyacinths, with
which the RATS were covered la,,,l
Mrowing them IN tie Bayou. hot
on shore. The wind was blowing
up stream at the time and of
course the hyacinths tlOated up
stream. Had he thrown them Oh
the shore, they would have been
destroyed, but as he threw them
in the bayou, they were seed sOwn
in fertile ground and will yield q

In this way is navigation made
more difficult: and, expenive, even
to the men who own the RATS. If
this boomerang struck them alone,

Irrigation I'm the Gulf States.

The rapid extension of irrigation
in West and the attention which it
has attracted has caused the irri-
cation already practiced in the
humid portions Of the United
States to be overlooked, says the
Irrigation Age. The fact already
gathered by the irrigation investi-
cations of the Office of experiment
stations of the u. s. department
of agriculture show that there is a
considerable area in the eastern
part of the country now beng
artificially watered. For market
gardening and growing of high
priced products, irrigation has
proven highly successful. Few peo-
pie are aware that the rice planters
of Louisiana irrigate over 100000
acres. The canals to water the
rice field along the South Atlantic
coast were in use more than a
a century before Brigham Young's
followers cut the first bitches
from City Greek in Utah. The
area of land covered by reserves,
or reservoirs, as western irrigators
would call them, is greater than
the acreage covered by such reser-
voirs in any arid State, and the
volume of stored water is equally
as large. Recently there has been
a tendency to extend this use of
water to other crops, notably on
truck farms. If this shall prove
profitable, the physical conditions
are favorable for the irrigation OF
a large portion of the land along
both the South Atlantic and the
Gulf coasts. Canals to water these
level bottom lands along the coast
rivers can be dug for less outlay
than has to be expended on many
of the canals in the arid West,
where rocky canons and precipi-
tious slopes must be traversed TO
reach the plains yet waiting for
Recent experiments
in Louisiana show that the irriga-
tion of forage crops is exceedingly
profitable; hence it does not seem
to be unreasonable to anticipate
that we may have in this section
