Nearly all railroad men are subjected to

Nearly all railroad men are subjected to
two kinds Of trouble-rheumatism and
kidney diseases. Being out in all kinds
of weather, with little protection from
rain, sleet or snow, their blood quickly
becomes thin, and rheumatic aches take
possession of the body. Statistics show
that larger percentage of Bright's dis
ease victims are among trainmen than
any other class. The humanitarian work
of"Blood Wine"in curing these stubborn
diseases, has called forth statements of
gratitude from all over the country. Mr..
Dan A. Metzel, of 202 South Eighth ST.,
Terra Haute, Ind, an engineer, says:
"For some years was greatly troubled with
rheumatism, also a lot of disturbance from my
kidneys, which at times made me almost ur:
able to work. Hearing of casea where Blood
Wine had been used with good success, pro.

There is only one way to cure rheuma-

Putney Votas to Try the License Law.

A larger number of voters than usual
attended the town meeting this
year, although altogether too many
stayed away. OF the 3l5 voters in the
town 50 failed to cast their ballots. The
first signs of division of opinion came
with the choice of first selectman. The
Local Option League put into the
hands of every voter just before the
meeting a license document suggesting
an entirely new board of selectmen
who were favorable to the license law.
This new board was elected by small
majorities; not because of dissatisfac-
tion with the old board, but as the re-
suit of carefully planned and system
atically conducted campaign on the
part of the license men. The vote on
the license question resulted in calling
out 229 votes, 81 no, 13l yes. No voter,
whatever his views on the ques-
ton of license may be, should find any
fault with the outcome of any part of
Tuesdays meeting. Many professed
to be greatly disappointed in the re-
suit, but it was just what might be ex-
pected Men who believed in the eff.
ficacy of the license law worked hard
and long for its adoption, and those
who opposed the same did practically
nothing to defeat the law. Putney has
voted to try the license law and has
put its most competent license men IN
authority. to execute it. We should
give them our moral support and hope
to see better conditions prevail here in
the future than in the past. The town
made some very wise and generous APP
preparations Tuesday. 1t was voted TO
purchase TOO feet of hose for the fire
company to pay the firemen % cents
per hour in case of fire; to appropriate
$50 for the use of the G.. A. h. post !:
to give the town library $50 and to
pay the janltor of the town hall sl5 ex-
fra for his services.

SCATTERING OLD THEORIES.

THE FIRST THING we know the
l scientists will upset the generally
accepted notion that the interior of the
earth is 2. mass of boiling lava or
something hot of that sort. A writer
In PopuIar Mechanics says that recent
investigations tend to show that there
are cold and hot zones beneath the
surface of the earth. In other words,
the temperature does not grow uni
fornIv higher as the center Of the
earth is approached.
In support of his contention. he cites
a Comstock, New, case. There, at
depth of 100 feet, boiling water was
found. and it was a common saying
among the miners that another shot
or two would break through the roof
of hell. The exact opposite was the
case. Instead of growing warmer. the
earth and the atmosphere actually
grew cooler with depth and at $500
feet the conditions were much more
comfortable for the workers than at
points much nearer the surface.
Probably the deepest mines in the
United States are the copper mines in
the Lake Superior district. One of
them has attained a depth of upwards
of 400 feet, but the thermometer in
dictates only 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
which is certainly not unbearable
heat and is, in fact, just twenty de-
grees warmer than a point only 100
feet from the surface. These investi-
cations unquestionably go to show that
there are cold and warm streaks, or
zones. in the earth's crust.
If the investigation is pushed 10 a
point where It can be proven that the
center of the earth is a comparatively
cool, solid mass, another lot of theories
will be overthrown. We have been
led to believe that earthquakes and
similar disturbances are occasioned
primarily. at least. by the molten con-
dition of the earth's interior. Sci
entists have said that molten lava
coming in contact with subterranean
streams of water causes steam. which
finds a vent in earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and other death-produeers.
