Consumption-the most dreaded of all
diseases of today-is durable. For cent.
uries this fearful malady has stared the
people in the face, with no hope, nc
haven of refuge, no relief to turn to, but
now-science has made sufficient strides
to be able to cope intelligently with all
the various forms of pulmonary affec.
tions.
Few people realize what anatomical
wonders the lungs are. Just imagine two
great sacks, one consisting of two and the
other of three lobes or compartments
each made of delicate membranous sub
stance as light and thin as piece of silk,
expanding and contracting as we inhale
and exhale the air that supplies life.
No one approaching the work expected
Of them would abuse his lungs if he
could look at them and see with his
own eyes the effect produced. The lungs
are almost like paper-mere tissues-that
are susceptible to the least aggravation.
A cold, though ever SO slight if on the
lungs, weakens them. A cough, though
only occasional, means rasping at these
precious organs, a sore (result of colds
and coughs) means an irritation that is
hard to heal. When aggravated and it
reaches an advanced stage, the lungs
shrivel up and wither away. Consump-
tion invariably begins in the upper part
of the right lung.
Coughing does not always accompany
diseases of this character, and consump-
tives sometimes goto theirgrave with little
annoyance in this direction and little ex-
pectoration. Their lungs, like an apple in
the sun, simply waste away and fall
to pieces. If flower becomes lifeless
and droops its head, you give it nourish-
ment, water and sunlight. Your lungs
are just like plant, they need nourish-
ment continually. Your blood flows
through every part of them and gives
them life. IL soothes and heals them,
keeps them fresh and healthy. II your
blood possesses the right nourishment, it
makes your lungs SO strong that germs
can't live in them, for germs only live
where there is weakness. You must
have proper medical assistance and you
must also have sunlight, plenty of rest,
plenty of outdoor air and good food.
The first has always been hard to get but
the other requirements are within the
reach of anyone. There is medicine,
famous French compound, a remedy
originated, experimental with and agreed
upon by celebrated chemists from all
over the world, who met in Paris few
years ago to determine the most speedy,
sure and lasting way of wiping out of the

FIRE AT BARRE.

About eight o'clock Friday night barr
and house on Elm street. Barre, owned
and rented by b. A. Camp, were
nearly destroyed by fire. The fire origi-
mated in the hay loft in the barn, but the
cause is unknown. The loss is about
$1,000, covered by insurance in the Union
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of thi:
city.
The barn was in flames when the alarm
was sounded. But for the absence OF
wind, the prompt and efficient work of
the fire department would hardly have
prevented IA serious contiagration as the
buildings were located in a thickly-settled
section of the city, just off Main street
AS it was the adjoining premises of w. Ii
Clapp were scorched but no particular
damage was done. The household effects
of the tenants were saved but are con-
siderably the worse for the handling they
underwent together with the soaking they
received by water.

GUERILLA WARFARE.

The word guerilla is Spanish and
first came into use in this country
during the time of the peninsular war
but Spain throughout her long his
tory has always been recognized as
the country most ideally suited for
guerilla tactics. There is no region
in Europe in which it is more difficult
to wage successful war. IF the army
of invasion is small, it is defeated
if it is large, it starves."

of taxation. Whether or not the re-
suit was "another indication of Yer
mont's prosperity" as the Essex syn
dictate editor puts it, it was the local
official valuation Of the stock, under
the law, and as such the statistics re-
ported to the contemporary have a
general interest. The stock of nation
al banks and savings banks and trust
companies only was the subject of APP
praisal, as straight savings institu-

HILL AND ODELL HOT
AFTER EACH OTHER
Former Senator Makes Charges and Is
Bitterly Attacked by the
Governor.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-The state po-
litical campaign assumed a bitter as
pect today through the Endorsement
given by ex-senator Hill Of allega-
tons published in Schenectady pa
per that Gov. Odell was interested in
business concerns that were profiting
by state contracts. The allegations
were repeated tonight by Senator Hill
in his speech at the Tammany Hall
ratification meeting. Mr.. Hill said:
"It now appears that the raid upon
the charitable institutions OF the state
made last winter by the Odell admin
istration was not only political, but
mercenary, in its character. It's real
purpose was not merely to secure COM
plete control of all the official posi-
lions to be had in the various charit-
able institutions, but to control the
purchase Of supplies therein"
Gov. Odell, speaking tonight at Sy-
racuse. devoted considerable time to
denial and refutation Of the charges.
He said that when he was elected gov
ernor he severed relations with con-
Germs that might be even remotely
benefited by the state contracts and
that he had conscientiously refrained
from saying or doing anything that
might be construed as tending to help
his former business associates. The
governor also revived and denounced
the political career of Mr.. Hill and
concluded with bitter personal at
tack upon the ex-senator, to whom he
alluded as "a man who has never
known the love of woman, and who
has never heard the .prattle Of innO-
cent children in his home. and who
would sacrifice his best friends to his
ambitions"

cured from the Comitie international

American rules to govern the games.
We aim at the forthcoming games to
have something never before achieved.
We will have, in addition to the games,
certain exposition features. We wish
to have every field of physical activity
of every nation reproduced.
These will cover the ethical side of
the nations. We will define lines of
athletics for men in every position in
life; for an athlete and for the man
whose occupation is neither the one
nor the other. A display Of warships

Lady engaged in a hair-raising finish
in the third race at Worth today and
finished in the order named. While
Scarlet Lily had half length the
best of it at the wire. the other three
horses were in such a tight fit it was
impossible for anyone but the judges
to separate them. Scarlet Lily went
to the front at flag fall and was never
headed thereafter. The Lady was sec.
.ond to the eighth pole, where Home
stead and John McGurk joined her and
a desperate fight down the stretch
commenced. Homestead seemed to
have the place until the last few jumps
when John McGurk got his nose in
front and stayed there. The Morris
colt only had a head advantage to
spare over The Lady.

The two teams are training. hard for
this clash. Coach Brennan is now di-
recting the Mechanic Arts behind closed
doors and Coach Sloan is working the
Centrals through a number, of new plays.
Several weeks ago the Mechanic Arts
team was picked as the favorite but since
that time the Centrals have shown that
they are able to take care of themselves.
The defeat in Duluth helped in lowering
the opinion of the Mechanic Arts team.
Coach Brennan has profited by the Du-
luth defeat and since that game has been
working hard repairing the weak spots in
his line. The supporters of the Mechan-
ic Arts have great faith In the coach
and are ready to cover all Central money
offered
The Central team was slow in develon-
ing. Sloan taught his men a number of
formations, but the team did not make
good The coach, after working his men
in several practice games, discovered this
and changed his system. With the team
falling in mass plays, Sloan switched to
fast back field and the improvement
was Immediately noticed.
In the game with Manchester the Gen.

played by Beloit against Minnesota and
had an easy time winning. Brennan will
have to train his Mechanics in breaking
