the present legislature in regard to
the legal option bill. recently intro
duced by the Anti-SaloOn League. At
a meeting Of liquor dealers in your

your constituents were present, it was
the general opinion that you would

Gives a Horrible Example,"
THE passage of the local option bill
means the closing of many saloons
in your district and consequently the
loss of large revenue derived there

any corresponding benefit. The eX-
perience in all parts of the country
is that the closing of the legitimate
licensed saloon does not stop the use
of liquor, but causes the opening OF
blind pigs. holes in the WALL and
other secret places where liquor is
sold, and the turning of the drug
stores into saloons. without any finan-

The letter then goes on to say that
as a rule the condition of the city or
town without a saloon is Intimately
worse than the one that licenses and
regulates the place where liquor is
sold. And adds: Local option means
prohibiting and it is only in the last
few days that after fifty years of pro-

voted to license saloons: and as one of
her leading statesman APPLY said: Pro

SIXTEEN YEARS OFF ATARRH
Well Known Massachusetts Woman Cured
by Hyomei.

by hyOmeI.
How to cure catarrh has been
problem in medicine for many years
that was not solved until the discov-
cry of Hyomei This remarkable treat
ment makes it possible for anyone to
breathe in an air at home which is
almost identical with that of the Adj
rondacks, the Carolinas or other
health resorts where the air is inn
pregnated with healing balsams from
health-giving trees and plants.
Simply place little Hyomei in the
inhaler which comes with every out
fit. breathe it occasionally during the
day and benefit will be seen from its
use for only two or three times, while
perseverance for few days or weeks
will effect complete cure of even
the worst case of catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira f.. Il. Gibson, who holds
a responsible position in the great
dry goods store of Jordan, Marsh d

places on the system, at Burlington

burlington road alone.
Instead of the regular numbers Oh
the cars being used in loading, each
car is given number according t.
the town it goes to, the number OF a
given place being the same here al
the time. In each car is placed q

a load to ii stamps his ticket anC
turns it over to the check clerk. If &
