The Difference Between Detective
and Spotter.
Rutland News.

The general public which is sometimes
pretty nearly right, stil persists in classi-
flying a detective used in the enforcement
of prohbitorN laws as a "spotter." The
name sticks without regard to his pro-
fessioual standing. which is seldom of
much account Woodstock Age.
We disagree with The Age. The line of
demarcation between detective and a
spotter. as the term is used and accepted,
We supposed was clearly defined. y de-
tcctive is "A Legitimate fcret of law break
crs; a spotter is Il criminal who encour-
ages crime Ivy participating in 1t and in
duCes others to break the law for the
purpose of earning fees The employ
ment OF detectives To secure evidence
against intractors of the liquor-sellnG
laws is entirely legitimate and defensible;
the employment Of spoilers for any pur-
pose is absolutely indefensible.

A Supreme Test for Cattle Commits
sion.
Huntington Free Press. ]

The Vermont cattle commissioners have
encountered an obstacle which may prove
to be a supreme test for the efficacy of
their usefulness and efficiency. They
have learned that the subjecting Of
cow to the tuberculin test even when
there is a response may render the ami
NAL immune so far as the tuberculn is
concerned for a certain period, and that
acting on this knowledge Il large number
of cattle. estimated in the vicinity of
1000 located i'm Willston and vicinity
have been thus treated. In some in
stances they We're 50 close upon the
heels of the operator that the animals
still showed a high degree of tempera ture,
so much so that the cattle might have
been condemned.
If the commissioners find no legal
means of putting stop to this practice
it will mean the practical end of their
operations, unless they can keep the date
of their visit to any given locality a
secret for otherwise cattle can be treated
i'm advance 50 that definite results cannot
be obtained by the official test.

NASAL CATARRH CURED

which all doctors agree, is that it is diff
flcult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure perma-
nently. Sprays or snufrs amount to
little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter-
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this is
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
cdy which would reach caiarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the systcm-this has been the desire Of
the medical profession for long time.
Forty years ago DR.. Hartman confronted
this problem. He believed then that he
had solved it. He still believes he has
solved it. lie cures thousands of people
annually. During all these years Pc
runa has been the remedy upon which
he has relied.
1t was at first a private prescription,
afterwards manufactured expressly foi
him in large quantities. This remedy.
Peruna, is now to bc found in every drug
store and nearly every home in the land.
1t is the only reliable internal remedy
ever devised to cure any case of catarrh,
however long the case may have been
standing.

and those who go outdoors much.
