A FEW REASONS
which Are Rapidly Making n New
. Catnrrh Cure Famous.

. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. the new
Catarrh cure has the following ad-
vantages over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or any other in
furious drug and are as safe and bene-
ficial for children as for adults; this Is
an important point whent It is re-
called that many catarrh remedies do
contain these very Objectionable In
gradients.
Next: Being In tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age
or an exposure to the air as liquid
preparations invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but
II is so far more convenient to carry
and to use at any time that II is only
a question of time when the tablet will
entirely supersede liquid medicines as
Il has already done in the medical de-
partment OF the United States army.
Next: No secret is made OF the
composition of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's; they contain the active princi-
pies of Eucalyptus bark, red gum, blood
root and Hydrastin. all harmless anti
esptics which, however. are death to
catarrhal germs wherever found, be-
cause they eliminate them from the
blood.
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat. because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarr-
hal disease which is in the blood; for
this reason. inhalers. douches, sprays
and powders never really cure catarrh.
but simply give temporary relief which
a dose Of plain salt and water will
do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out OF the
system, out of the blood. by an in
ternal remedy because an internal
remedy is the only kind which can be
asslmilated into the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this
better than the old form OF treatment
because they contain every safe speci-
&c known 10 modern science IN the
antiseptc form OF the disease.
Next. The use OF inhalers. and spray
ing apparatuses besides being ineffec-
tive and disappointing. IL expensive.
while a complete treatment OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any
drug store in the United States and
Canada for 80 cents,

recognize on its statute books the mag
netic meridian as the meridian of ref
erence for land-surveyors. In many
other states no systematic effort has
been made to put its land surveying
on a practical and scientific basis, 30
as to save costly and unnecessary liti-
cation in the future.
The total change between the morn
ing and afternoon extremes is only
about eleven minutes in midsummer,
and perhaps half this amount in mid
winter: yet this is a quantity which
must not be ignored in precise work.
In Germany, mine surveying has been
brought to such an art that some of
the principal mines maintain small
magnetic observatories. where the de-
clination is recorded continuously
throughout the day by photography.
The mine surveyor then uses the value
of the declination to the nearest min
ute as prevailing at the time of the
day when he is running his line. In
land surveying no attention Is COM
monty paid to this diurnal variation,
although Il is quantity that may at
times make itself appreciably felt.
Magnetic storms may in this latitude
produce variations of from ten
TO twenty minutes of circular measure.

violently in years OF maximum sun-

netic storm occurred which moved the
needle at Los Angeles more than one
and one-third degrees out OF its nor
NAL place.
But IL is the secular variations that

Friends, we are like that old lady
for we feel that nothing is too good
for you. We will give you half mo-
1asses or all molasses as suits you
best.
In our sister state the only COM
plant we have ever heard of their
celebrations of Old Home Week was
the one tendency to overdo the for
NAL exercises or to take up so much
time in making speeches that too
little was left for talking over old
times and renewing ones youth by
recalling old memories. With this
thought in mind I will gladly give
the rest of my time to the friends
who have gathered here to talk with
each other only begging you to feel
that you have the freedom of the
town and that you will freely COM
mand our services in any way that
we can aid you.

not only open to you but those of the

like. Go to the pantry if you wish
and nibble at everything you find
there. We give you most cordial
welcome to the old home.
In the absence of Rev. L. P. Tuck
er the president introduced Rev. A.
J. Hough of White River Junction to
respond to the greeting from the
Methodist church, as one always
ready for anything
Mr.. Webb has opened the church,
house and pantry doors. If there is
famine here later on, said Mr..
Hough, the minister of the Methodist
church will be largely to blame.
Still waters, green pastures and sun

The duet, "Ring on Sweet Bells, -
by Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Bishop, was
another interesting feature of the

Gen. Rogers, here on the platform,
was wounded almost to death, but
would not be carried away. He
earned promotion to brigadier gen.

were at one time my pupils. When
Will Rogers was in school Geo. A. |

a rather slow, celebrating sort of a

of the day. To respond to the ad-
dress of welcome one is here who, as
a boy, played in our streets. In
introducing him the ex-judge was
left off and simply Jesse Johnson
used.
When your invitation reached me,
said Mr.. Johnson, it found me brok-
en- in health, debilitated in strength,
and doubling rry 4,a4ity to be here
and say few words. But I'm glad
to be here and you must take my
presence as a testimonial of my love
for the old town, it's hills and val
legs. The welcome here is a Yer
mont we1come-what more should l
say-a welcome of hospitality and it
touches the heart. We have come
back to the old home and all are boys
and girls again, children coming
back again to greet children. The
days of my childhood were passed
here. My ancestors helped you to
clear the forests, build the home
and the church. The view from my
home in Goshen was grand-Moos-
ilauke on the east, Wright Mountain
on the west and all around me the
fields and hills. That was my world,
the only world knew, and if sounds
from the outside came in they
were not needed. Here l struggled
as barefoot boy, life revealing to
me its first duties and sorrows as
they came to me in the beautiful
days of childhood. AS we come up
this valley, see the steeples of the
churches peeping through the trees
we feel we are coming to the land of
God, land filled with God fearing
people. We find a welcome in the
running brooks, and in all nature
here so beautiful. This is grand
movement that has been inaugural
ed. What is life without its COM
radeship and companionship and
there is no better place to find them
than in the old home by the old
fireplace.
A song, Crooked in the Cradle of
the Deep" by Walter c. Low was
next. 1t was sp1endidly rendered,
his rich, calm voice being perfectly
suited to this sweet, old song.
"The greeting from the Congre-
gational church and Society, was by
Rev. Henry Kilbourn. We have
asked you, dear friends, to lay down
the weapons of earthly warfare and
come back to us for time. The
happiest, sweetest memories of life
flow from the churches. To all men,
bers of the Congregational church
who have come back l welcome you
in the name of Si1as McKeen, for 43
years the pastor, the worthy men
who have followed him, multitude
of members, majority of whom now
sleep on yonder hillside but whose
welcome to you can be felt If not
seen, and Jesus Christ, from whose
name flows all JOY.
Inc response TO this was oy Ieo'
A. Low of Brooklyn, N. Y. He re-
called one or two reasons why peo-
pie liked to come back to Bradford.
1t is because we feel that we are
among old friends. From the sum-
NIT of these hills are grand views
and 1 never expect to see better this
side of heaven. The brooks and |
everything in nature make us glad |
to be back. One other thing, deep |
er than everything else, is our rela-
ton to the church, and we thank Mr..
Kilbourn for his kind words of greet
ing. The men who constituted the
citizenship of Bradford 90 years ago
are nearly all at rest on the upper
plain where, 131 years ago, the first
