Fortunate BrattIeborO.

Brattleboro has the well deserved rep
utation of being little above the aver
age in most of the good things that go to
make up a frst-class New England town
but in one particular line this fortunate
town is so pre-eminently at front of the
procession that few American cities,
large or small, can compare with it. We
refer of course, to Brattleboro as a must
cal center. In this line its fame is not
entirely because of it's chief manufactur-
ing enterprise, for in that fair town they
occasionally have home-talent concerts
of the class that the crowned heads of
Europe delight to listen to. The people
are now looking forward to visit from
the famous Russian pianist, Ossip Ca
brilawitsch, who is giving series of 40
concerts in this country for which it is
reported he is to receive $4,000 and ex-
penseS. If Brattleboro is thus favored it
will be through the generosity of the
talented young foreigners manager, a
New York gentleman, who has relatives
in the organ city.-St. Johnsbury Gale

General Grout Active.

While General Grout probably agrees
with Private John Allen of Mississippi,
that " the people are not sending their
best men to the senate nowadays" it is
evident that in his last days in congress
he is as interested, in Vermont affairs as
at any previous time. Always tireless
worker he seems to be as busy today as
lat any previous session and the house
will greatly miss him after his long serv-
lice in that body. Gen. Grout is receiv-
isg many compliments and expressions
Of good will from the Washington news
papers and correspondents which are GER
tainly deserved, for while serving his
state faithfully he has done much to
advance the interests of the national
capital. While it is true that Gen.
Grout has earned the right to enjoy the
remainder of his days from all public
cares and excitement, it is hardly prob
able that his close connection with pub
lie affairs for so many years, coupled
with his natural activity, will make retire
ment to private life for any length of
time quite desirable to him. Therefore
we are liable to hear from Gen. Grout
again in a public way before very long,

The Agency System.

One argument for high license has
been exploded in Montpelier so far as the
matter of public revenue is concerned,
when it transpires that the city realized
a net profit of over $4,000 during the
past year from the liquor agency. One
would scarcely expect that even with a
license law place the size of the Capt.
tai city could reap more mxuriant har-
west from saloon keepers. This ought
to satisfy the license men, but how about
the other side. When they come to con-
slider that on an average each man, wom-
an and child in Montpelier consumed five
dollars worth of Intoxicating liquor dur
ING the fiscal twelve-mOnths, they will
most likely reach verdict that the
|agency system as it is operated in Yer
mont at present is entirely unsatisfac-
tory.-Barre Telegram.

Changes in Business Methods.

Radical changes have taken place in
the methods of doing business within
the last decade. Ten or twenty years
ago the merchant bought his goods in
anticipation of a certain demand. If
trade was dull, he still had the goods on
his shelves or in his storeroom, where
they were apt to prove a dead loss
Nowadays the manufacturers of genu-
inely good articles stand back of their
productions. The makers of Pages
Poultry Food, for instance, guarantee to
take back all of their Food that is not
sold at the end of the season; thus the
agent or merchant is secured against loss,
and at the same time is given an oppor-
tunity to make a handsome profit from
selling the best egg producer in the
world. Send your name on a postal card
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, and get

The Cigarette Law.

The anti-cigarette law is now in force,
but its effect in reducing the use of cigar
cites by minors is not yet apparent. The
bows who smoked them before smoke
them still. nor is it difficult for the Smok-
erS TO obtain them. In fact it doesn' t
ren1lire the ingenuity of snail to cir
cumvent the law No prosecutions have
taken place for selling to minorS-none
nav take place, but it is idle to expect
apy falling off in the use of 'coffin-nailS''
BIZ minors under any such law. If the
smoking of cigarettes is wrong, it is
wrong not because somebody has con-
ceiyed prejudice against it for Senti-
mental reasons, but because it does in
ury TO those who indulge and indirectly
to others interested in, or dependent up
on. them. 1t is not urged that cigarettes
are more harmful to youths than to
adults who use them with the same i'm
moderation. If their sale is proper
subject for adverse legislation in the Ell
| fort 10 prevent their use, it is unreaSon-
| able and Illogical to forbid the sale to
minors. while permitting it to adults. Ii
Cigarettes are to be put under the ban, 1t
must be done completely, to old and
Young alike, before it will be effective.
Personally. it would please us to see this
| done. simply because we believe that the
ciga rette habit is one of the most lnJurl-
o1s TO which our young men are exposed;
We cav Young men because the older
generation fortunately did not have the
oDnortunitv to acquire the habit. 1t is
clear enough, though, that the present
law is absolutely dead letter. 1t may
| do no direct harm, but it fails to accom-
p6sh any good Randolph Herald and

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, vthe art of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifes the blood, removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find lodg-
