Common Sense Rules.

Every little while somebody pub
fishes a list of health rules. the OBJ
servance of which is guaranteed to
stretch a mans life to the hundred
mark; but somehow we keep on dying
just the same, and / therefore wonder
If the rules are as good as they
should be. If not. how would these
do?
Take a drink whenever you want it.,
but you are a fool if you want one
often.
Eat what you know will do your
system the most good, irrespective of
the real or imagined wishes of those
around you.
Get a little air into your lungs and
a little exercise in your legs after a
hearty dinner and before going to
bed.
Never smoke a cigar any longer
than it tastes good to you. even if it
did cost you rs cents.
Never smoke on the endless chain
plan, lighting a fresh cigar from the
butt of its predecessor.
Go home and to bed when you feel
sleepy, even If you have to give the
boys a pipe story about your wife
being an invalid.
Get up in the morning when you
have fully slept yourself out and not
before.
Take a good dose of liver medicine
when you feel that everybody in the
world is wrong and you are right, and
also when you feel that work was in
tended for slaves and therefore not
for you.
Use plenty of cool water inside and
out every morning. and. above all
things, don't chafe and fret about
business matters after the sun goes
down.-[Hector, in the Chronicle.

What Clement Has at Stake.
Ludlow Tribune.1

There is more at stake for Percival w.
Clement September than the governor
ship of Vermont. Is his past record such
that the voters dare to trust him in the
executive chair? Is Clement the man
who is to be allowed the power of APP
pointing a United States senator, IL the
office should become vacant? Do we
want Clement to have the powers OF
making his present supporters supreme
court judges, railroad commissioners
etc? Do We want a Clement liquor law
Who is more likely to refer the question
to voters. Clement and the Democrats
or Mccullough and the Republicans?
Think about 1t all, voters, and be careful
to make no mistake"

BRATTLEBoRo MARKET REPORT
Break Expected In Price of Beef
Dealers Trying to Recoup Losses
Wholesalers Getting Less.

Local prices are substantially as quoted
last week. IT is reported from Chicago
that the long period of scarcity in beef
is nearly at an end and that the prices
are beginning to drop. Although the
price is higher than it was several
months ago it is not because of lack of
cattle. Prices will be held up, it is said.
to enable the large dealers to recoup their
alleged losses of last winter. OF course
this is somewhat speculative, but the To-
cal dealers expect to see beef consider
ably lower in a short time, in fact the
wholesale price is already fraction of a
cent off. The situation with regard to
coal is told elsewhere in this paper.

WILMINGTON.
The Republican Rally.

The Republican rally at the town
hall on Wednesday evening was well
attended although the hall was not
crowded. Edward Titus, chairman of
the town committee, presided. Clarke
G. Fits of Brattleboro was the first
speaker. He at once took up the
matter of the prohibitory law, saying
that it had been on our statute books
80 years, but now there seemed to be
a demand for a change. Recogniz-
ing the demand the Republican con-
vention inserted plank in the plat
form providing for a referendum,
which was framed almost exactly as
the proposed referendum in 1900,
which was endorsed by Democrats
generally. He quoted from the Re
former of Oct. 1900, showing conclus-
lively that Mr. Davenport was in favor
of the bill, but now he has suddenly
discovered that it is only a Republican
trick, that it would be unconstitution-
al, etc. lie also discussed the mat
ter of state expenses, showing that
the increase from 1883 was legitimate
and necessary in order that we main
tain our standing as a progressive
state. Mr.. Fits was at his best and
held the undivided attention of the
audience for more than an hour.
Hon. Frank Plumley was the next
speaker and he likewise spoke at
length on the issues of the day. He
paid special attention to Clement and
Clement methods He predicted that
Clement would be overwhelmingly
buried next Tuesday and advised that
he be laid away tenderly. face down
so that if he should persist in boiling
and digging he would be working
toward his home.
In referring to the state institutions,
especially the Soldiers Home the in
sane asylums, and the institutions
for the dissemination of knowledge,
he grew eloquent and his words were
forcible and convincing.
The Cornet band discoursed stir
ring music in front of the hall before
the meeting.
