Words of Wisdom,

a. p. Childs of Bennington contrib
utes the following common sense views
of the present situation: Whatever
the present outcome of the gubernato-
rial canvass in Vermont, thousands of
thoughtful and self-respecting citizens
will commend Mr.. Clement for proyok-
ing a profound discussion over the
merits of the prohibitory system, as
shown by experience. through a manly
and candid talk-face to face-with
with the people If the result, as a
large portion of the people declare. is
only deterioration in the quality of Ii
quors, also in the moral fiber of our
citizenship, why continue such bane-
full legislation, why protest against To-
cal option: We have the liquor traffic,

and complete regulation and control.
Why seek to destroy this great princi-

so-called prohibitory enactments. are.

FEED THE CHILDREN.
Learn What to Give Them.


People with weak children should look
to food for making the youngsters stout
and hearty. Scientific selection of food
is the true way to health.

feeding children. She says, About two
years ago our little two-year- old Isabella
was taken with stomach and bowel trou-
BILE. She was so low at times that we
despaired of her ever recovering.
She could not digest the lightest kind
of food. She fingered along from Aug
ust to November in that condition when
l decided to try Grape-Nuts In smsll
quantities three times a day. 1 poured
boiling water over them and let them
stand five minutes to soften, then ad1ed
sweet cream and very little S ,gar.
Well, from that day, the 18th of No
vember, 1885, until now We have never
had to give her drop of medicine and
she is the picture of health. So also is
my little boy now two years old He has
lived on Grape-Nuts since he was a year
old and is the stoutest little follow you
nearly ever saw.
Nearly everyone asks what / feed the
children for they are so big and healthy.
Our 12-year-old daughter began to
have headaches about last Christmas
and we put glasses on her. She got some
better but was still very poorly. Finally

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers. man-that is
the order of woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet OF mighty power
to the average woman. Even that great
est of all jewels, health, is often ruined
in the strenuous efforts to make or save
the money to purchase them. If woman
will risk her health to get a coveted
gem, then let her fortify herself against
the insiduous consequences of coughs,
colds and bronchial affections by the
regular use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest consump-
tion in its early stages and heal the
affected lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the sys-
TEN. 1t is not cure-all. but it is a

liable remedy at w. H. King Drug Co.'s
