The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, aud giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send

NERVE FOOD

If you have neuralgia, SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil will
feed the nerve that is crying
for food-it is hungry-and
set your whole body going
again, in a way to satisfy nerve
and brain with your usual food.
That is cure.
If you are nervous and irri"
table, you may only need more
fat to cushion your nerves
you are probably thin-and
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil will give you the fat, to
begin with.
Cure, SO far as it goes. Full
cure is getting the fat you
need from usual food, and
SCOTS emulsion will help you
to that.

but a fat per diem, short days, ex-
penses paid, good living, give light,
warmth, aud good cheer to the bust
ness in which the body presided over
by the venerable eX-Chief Judge and
ex-senator of the United States is en-
gagged, and which constitutes its prin-
cipal function. Since, however, the first
railway commission proclaimed the
deadly dangers that Turk in too close
proximity to railroad tracks, and warned
the public against them, and the warn
ing is still echoing among the hills and
along the valleys of the State, the use
is not clear of retaining an expensive
coroner's commission to repeat the
warning and reenact the solemn farce
of sitting on the remains of each un-
needing victim. The distinguished
personnel Of the existing jury may give
impressiveness to The procedure but
ADDS nothing to its utility. People
continue to be killed on the railway
tracks in undiminished numbers. Some
real safeguard sgainst the slaughter
ought to be devised. The one existing
is a SOLEMN and costly farce.

PROGRESS INCREASES WANTS.
Methods of Production Must Neces-
sartIy Improve as CIviIlza-
ton Advances.

The excuse is sometimes given that
measures which increase the productive
capacity of the workman throw others
out of employment. This is the same
old charge that has always been
brought against labor-saving machines
and methods, and it's absurdity has
been proved too often to receive much
consideration here, says the Engineer
ing Magazine. 1t should be well under
stood that a certain amount of produce
tion is necessary to maintain existence.
That amount varies in proportion 10
the increase in the population of the
world and the Advancement of civiliza-
ton. AS people become more civilized
and enlightened their wants are in
creased; to meet the increase there
must be a corresponding improvement
in the methods of production. Stop
that improvement and you stop civili-
cation. Nature, working through the
avarice and ambition of man, supplies
this improvement.
The time may come when all labor
may be paid according to its productive
capacity. Theoretically, that is the
only just method of remuneration. 1t
is placing the matter where it belongs,
under that memorable law of nature
the survival of the fittest. All Develop
ment is in that direction, and COMPETE
ton in manufacturing demands it. The
observance of this law does not re-
quire that the weak should be left to
suffer, but means that other than the
restraint of the fittest should be pro-
vided for their care.

Vermont at Buffalo,

1t seems likely that Vermont will he
represented in some fashion at the
Buffalo Pan-American Exposition. AT
the meeting in this city called by Gov
ernor Stickney to consider a PROPOSE
ton TO contribute to the cost of erect
ing a New England building and 10
provide for an exhibit therein, the
proposition was made to raise by pri-
vate subscription sonnet So 600 for the
building and $4,000 for the exhibition.
These are modest sums and the scheme
is likely to succeed.
The business of advertising States at
"expositions," which are themselves
large advertisements for the cities in
which they are contrived and held, and
are designed to be SO, is a good deal
like advertising in hotel registers.
In respect of utility it is in the same
class. These solicitations for State
advertising have been growing in num-
Der and amount of money. demanded
for the past twentyIyears. There was
the air of novelty ands real nationality
about the Centennial of 1876 at Phila-
delphia. Cities in every section of the
land Rave since seized upon the Seen
tennial" of some event TO repeat with
in their limits, primarily for the i'm
mediate benefit of their people and
their interests, incidentally for the
advantage of the. advertiser, TO get up
an exposition" and invite the States
of the Union, and their industries in
dividually, to come in and be seen.
State pride has beensadroitly appealed
to and the appeal has generally been
successful.
Vermont does not remember with
pride or profit the results OF her invest
ments in these expositions. Money
enough was appropriated for the Chi
cago show, for example, for credit
able representation. there, kbut when
the subject was subse quently referred
to, or when the harvest was counted
up, there were derisive comments or
disposition to change the subject of
conversation. Not much glory came
to the State from the display and jun
keting at Nashville, either at the time
or in the investigation of the matter by
the Legislature of 1898.
Nevertheless, if the proposition made
to the Legislature at the late session
had been kept within the modest limits
individual enterprise or patriotism is
placing upon the proposed representa-
ton Of the State in Buffalo's advertis-
ing enterprise, it is quite likely the
State pride racket would have been
successfully worked again, notwith'
standing it was seen that another
manipulation of the strings, in the per.
son of St. Louis, would appear on the
scenes in 1902, admonishing reluctant
Vermont that she must come down
with the money or the "sisters would
put their heads together and whisper
uncomplimentary things about her."
Individual pride and enterprise viii
now have its turn, with no hope or ex
pectation of remuneration by the State
and without doubt it will succeed wher'
hitherto the State has not exactly GOV
cred itself withIglory.

The Letter He Did Not Mail,

AS he left the house In the morning,
Said his wife: "Here's a letter to mail;
And see that you don't forget itr'
So he told her, OF course, he not fail.
AS he placed it in his pocket
The address on the letter he saw.
And the name of 1t was somewhat familiar
1t was that of his mother-in-law.
And then a grim fact he remembered,
That his wife had threatened to send
And invite her to make long visit
What else could this letter portend2
A look of profound -esouti on
Did over his features prevail;
For a week 1t reposed in his pocket
The letter he did not mail.
Then one evening" when home returning,
His wife met him at the door.
Who asked If he'd mailed that letter
She gave him the week before.
He told her, of course he had mailed 1t;
"Then it's very peculiar" said she,
"For I'd written before to mother
To ask her to visit me.
And that letter was to inform her
I'd rather she'd wait till next FALL
But here she arrived this morning
She never received 1t at ALI"
Until he was alone he waited,
Then kicked himself like a fail,
And tore into uttermost atoms
The letter he did not mail.

The country is full of the sort of ru-
mors that are always heard after an i'm
portant argument before the United
States Supreme Court. A gullible per-
son might believe that the justices of
the Court had taken the newspaper
men--and particularly the antis-into
their confidence and told them just
what the decision of the Court, which
may not be made public for weeks, will
be in the cases involving the constitu-
tional status of Porto Rico and the
Philippines. While no one knows
what the decision will be, the very able
argument of Attorney General Griggs
has incre .sed the number of those who
believe that the decision will put the
same construction upon the Constitu-
ton that President McKinley's admin
istration has done.

ooh, these germ and'microbe cranksl
Now they say we must avoid not only
raw oysters, but celery, too, if we
would escape infectious diseases. Is
the noble science of bacteriology going
daft?" Thus the Boston Herald, anent
some of the recent doings of the Hubs
board of health. The Herdld's query
has some pertinency here in Vermont.
The members saw bacteria swarming
in the air of the Capitol during the late
session of the General Assembly and
incontinently they appropriated $10,-
OC0 year for the suppression of the
bugs. At the same time they kicked
like steers over the cost of the work of
purifying the herds which furnish the
milk and butter which every one, from
the babe in the cradle and the invalid
to the man of strength aud mature
years, consumes. "Millions for nom
sense not one cent for common sense"
