W FEDS

Consumption is 6 human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes inn possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer IS Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take ScOtt'S Emulsion. Ii 1t isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget 1t and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win.
 Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.

There may be no question what ever about your courage, but we'll undertake to say that, though you are as brave as @ lion, you won't want to have anything to do with that kind of fray. Trousers and tatters don't make just the kind of combination that you are hankering after, do they? Purchasers of Suits or Trousers will have the advantage of our Mark-Down Prices, and will not be bothered with any thing of the sort. They are just as safe from it as though they had paid-up policy of insurance against any such kind of un- pleasantness. If our Suits give you any hankering at all, they will give you an ungovernable hankerning for another one just like it.

Weak and Tired People

We suppose all the women who take care of a family and do their own work are pretty tired come night, but we are specially sorryfor those who don't feel rested in the morning.
 Do you suppose your Vinol would do me any good9" said a woman customer the other day. "I just drag round. My work seems an awful burden"
 "We think Vinol will help you, !" said our clerk '@" Our folks at home use it. We have such faith in it that we will pay the money back if it doesn't help you.
 She took a bottle of Vinol home, and has since bought another bottle.
 Vinol was sold last year on the same guarantee. How many ssre- funds , were there, do you think } Less than two per cent.
 In other words, VlnOl d1d Suc- cessful work in ninety-eight cases out of one hundred.
 For two great classes, those who can't seem to gain strength and those who are tired at nothing, we say: "Try Vinol on our guar antee."
 For weak women, nursing moth CTS, old people, and puny. children we have found nothing to equal Vinol.

Small Package Trade.

In former years city people bought
-four by the barrel, crackers by the half
barrel, sugar by the large package, a
whole ham, and other things in proper
ton. These things now come in small
packages-bags or boxes. This is the
modern spirit of trade. The consumer
no longer keeps a large supply of food
on hand, but expects the grocer and the
butcher TO do it for him. The fruit
grower must follow in this line, and cut
down the size of his package or have
some one do it for him. The barrel as
a retail package is disappearing in the
city and large town; in fact, apples are
about the only product now offered in
this way. Very few apples are now sold
to the consumer in this large package.
1t is empted by the dealer and either
measured out or repacked. OF course
restaurant and hotel-keepers buy barrels
but the family trade is in the smaller
packages. The growers must soon de-
eide whether they will try to obtain the
price paid for package in small lots, OIL
turn this share of profit over to the
dealer.-[Rural New Yorker.

house there was surrounded in July,
1890, by Sheriff Lowell of Springfield
and posse of eight deputies. When
Fitton looked out and saw that resist
ance was useless, he shouted from an
upper window, Boys, why didn't you
bring a regiment? If you had whs-
tied for me last evening, | would have

Jail at Woodstock at this time. He
again secured bail. but forfeited it and
became a fugitive
Early in 1891, he was mixed up in
an alleged diamond robbery affair at
the Brattleboro House, in Brattleboro,
then run by George Bliss. He disap-
peared. but a few weeks later was
arrested at Bennington. where there
was a charge against him of robbing
book agent of his watch and money.
In his satchel at this time were found
numerous United States court writs
of attachment for property, signed
regularly by Chief Justice Fuller.
Where these papers were obtained, or
for what purpose is now known. Fit
ton Indignantly denied the charge of
stealing $2S at Bennington. He said
Il have got too much money for that
but if it had been a whole bank and
got the chance, it would have been
just like me to steal it,

Cases against Fitton came up in the

brought to Brattleboro for hearings
two or three times. Owing to techni-
calities he secured his release so that
he could return to Canada. He was
a very bold shrewd and defiant man.
and apparently believed that his
knowledge of the law was sufficient
to keep him out of jails notwithstand-

At one time he owned a good law

Few Buffalo Left.

The total number of buffalo or
bison, both full and mixed
blood, in the United States is
1143, according to a report sub
mitted to congress by the inter
ior department, based on cor
respondence with various
states. Of this number 70 are
running wild, of which SO are in
Colorado and the remainder in

The number Of buffalo or bison
domesticated or in captivity,
including full and mixed blood
is 1917. The total number of
the pure blood buffalo in the
United States is 986 and the
mixed bloods 175. The total
number of buffalo or bison in
Canada is 669. Of these 600 are
pure blood, running wild. In
countries outside of North

Cattlemen are Fortunate.

In these days of prosperity
for the beef trade, the man so
fortunate as to be the owner of
promising bunch of cattle
ought to be regarded as capi-
talist. For a time. the market
prices were scarcely on a para
lell with the rates charged by
the retail butchers, but the dis
parity has gradually worn away.
A month a half ago shipping
and dressed beef steers brought
$3.50 to $3.50 per hundred, but
last week they sold at 7.35 to
1925. While the packers would
have been willing to advance
the price of meat accordingly,
they realized that the limit
which the customer would pay
had about been reached and
that any further raise would
simply have resulted in a cur
tailment of business. The
"beef trust" agitation, too, APP
pears to have had some effect,
though the packers maintain as
strongly as ever that there was
no agreement between them. -
