Hard Colds.

People whose blood is pure are not
nearly so likely to take hard colds as
are others.
Physiology goes into the reason.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the blood
pure, causing healthy action of the
mucous membrane and giving strength
and tone to all the organs and func-
tons.
This great medicine RECEIVERS the
system after a cold. as no other does.

Pauper supplies. whether received
directly or indirectly by the pauper,
must be received from the town as a
result of the obligation imposed upon
it by the statute.
Voluntary contributions of private
charity do not constitute such sup
plies. The motive of the donors is not
material. The consequences attach to
the act. not to the motive. 1t is the
receipt of supplies from the town, not
the motive which may have inspired
any person or persons to do away with
the necessity Of the pauper receiving
relief from the town. which affects the
gaining of a pauper settlement.
The belief of the pauper that the
supplies were furnished by the town
in response to his application is not
sufficient. 1t is the fact that they are
so furnished. and not his belief, which
constitutes them pauper supplies.

POULTRY POINTERS,

Ducks and geese need no grain when
they have plenty OF grass.
Chicken fatten faster on cooked food
than on raw because it is more easily
digested.
When soft feed is given to either
young or Old fowls. it should never be
thrown on the ground.
When closely confined. the loose grain
fed to fowls should be scattered among
litter Of some kind, so that they can
scratch it out.
There is nothing so bad for the health
and we'll being of poultry as combining
them in close quarters and preventing
them from taking needed exercise.
p One of the most important items to
insure success in the Matching of chick
ems in winter is to get the eggs from a
flock of healthy and vigorous fowls.
There is better health among rowing
fowls because they get the food that Is
best for digestion and get the necessary
grit to help the gzzard do its work.

cine by placing it in the drinking wa

BARRE, VT, JANUARY 20, 1902

While this battle against the
great oleomargarine fraud is going on
in Congress, those who are interested
in the granite industry may quite
naturally be inclined to wonder II it
is not possible to secure further legis-
latiyn for the prevention of fraud that
does as much injury to the Barre or an-
lite industry as the oleo steal does to
the dairymen. LII regard to the lat
ter the Middlebury Register says:
The oleomargarine bills have been
before the house committee at Wash
ington this week and considerable evil
d.nce has been adduced going to show
the healthfulness Of this product. At
first blush this testimony seems to be
wholly beside the question so far as
the dairy interests are concerned.
The great and practically the only
question for such interests is whether
or not the oleo manufacturers are to
be permitted t, sell their product as
pure butter. The healthfulneSS of
cleo isn't 10 question. II It's makers
Can convince butter consumers that 1t
lisa good substitute and thereby secure
q mar ct for 1t, that is legitimate
competition. The oleo men know
very we'll tn t they cannot SO con-
vince consumers and resort to decep-
ton and fraud to foist their article On
the pure butter market. That is
what hurts the dairy interests and
where legislation is wanted" This
argument applies just as forcibly to
the granite business. All over the
country scheming dealers are sillirg
under the name, Of Barre granite,
stuck tt at is far inferior and that was
quarried perhaps hundreds Or thou
sands Of miles from here. 1t is an
enormous fraud and deserves, together
with the oleomargarine matter, the
most stringent measures that Con-
z sess Can apply TO 1t.
