THE BORDEN co.'s CUT-THROAT
POLICY.

The condensed milk plant of the Borden
Company at Auburn, is rapidly nearing COM
pletion 1t is the intention to force the Pa
cifc Coast Milk Company out of business by
ver-bidding them for the milk of White
river valley, and underselling them on manu-
featured goods Possibly the Borden Com
pany will succeed in killing off competition,
but it will be only after long hard fight,
and very heavy expenditure. The Pacific
Coast Milk Company may not have the cap
ital behind it that the eastern company has,
but it is we'll intrenched in the way of back
ING, with fine wholesale connections, and has
a firm hold with consumers. We are in
formed that Manager Stuart has made long
time contracts with milk dealers in the
White river valley, sufficient to insure
good supply of milk-and in addition he has
recently erected two other factories, the one
at Forest Grove, Ore, particularly, being
very large modern plant in splendid dairy
district.
The Borden Company is trust, with &C
cent on the trust" Like all trusts its OBJ
iect is to throttle competition Of every de-
scription. The Pacific Coast Condensed
Milk Company has been growing too rapidly
and gaining too much business on this coast
to suit it. The dairymen should see to it
that they do not aid such a combine to gain
control of the field, for if they do it will
result to their lasting injury. If the Borden
Company wanted to engage in the manu-
facture of condensed milk in d legitimate
manner, why did they not seek out distinct
location in another of the many dairy dis
tricts of this state, where their presence
would have been welcomed? The Ranch
believes in fair play, and thinks the local
company is certainly entitled to all credit for
the establishment and development of such
a splendid industry; and so far as is consist
ent with good business principles it should
continue to receive the patronage and hearty
support of the producers.

Genuine VS.. Beef Butter.

The passage of the law putting tax of
10 cents pound on colored oleomargarlne
seems to have resulted in considerably
reduced output During the last nine months
the government has collected about 100000
in revenue from this source, as against ST.
100000 for the same time in the previous
fiscal year, when uniform tax of two cents
a pound was placed on the manufacture OF
all oleomargarine, most of which was arti-
fcially colored.
Although the production of the colored
"oleo," so far as the government records
show, was only about 100000 pounds, the
output of the uncolored article was nearly
100000 pounds. 1t is evident, therefore,
that good many people have continued to
use beef butter, and it is possible that not
little of it has been colored after leaving the
manufacturers hands.
The amount of genuine butter manufac-
t1lred in the entire country is estimated at
100000 900 pounds year. So long, there
fore, as the "oleo" does not aggregate over
100000 pounds year, and the most of
that is uncolored it is evident that the aver
age consumer of butter has more than fair
chance of getting the real article.

Modern banditti retain in Epirus all
the audacity, with some Of the pic
turesqueness, of the old time brigand.
A somewhat striking instance is re-
corded from the town of Konitza. A
bridegroom, with his family and man
friends. was proceeding with violins,
flies and other musical instruments, ac-
cording to the custom of the country, to
bring the bride, when, half way, they
found themselves beset on all sides by
seventeen armed brigands, who, at the
guns muZzle, compelled the surrender
of every farthing in money and every
article of jewelry they possessed-even
to the nuptial ring. The coup being
quite successful and the booty large, as
the family was well to do and there
were many handsome wedding gifts
and personal jewels, the brigands en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion, re-
turning the nuptial ring and coins
equivalent 10 20 pence per head in Or
der that the bridegroom's friends might
not cut a too humiliating figure at the
nuptial merrymakings. Then, with
many good wishes for the future happi-
ness of the bridal pair, the robbers de-
parted.

NATURES own CURE.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous
Dragging of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
1t been possible to truthfully say that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times day, and during that time every
particle OF air taken into the air passages
and lungs is impregnated with the germ
killing and health giving Hyome. 1t is
the only treatment that cures catarrh
Stomach dragging often causes disor-
dered digestion or brings on some other
diseases and never makes permanent
cure OF catarrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose but
penetrates to the minutest air cells in the
lungs and enters the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood.
1t trees the mucous membrane from
poisonous microbes and gives perfect
health.
A complete outfit costs but 81 90, and
includes an inhaler, dropper, and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
W. B. Eastman has so much faith in
the merits of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser who
may be dissatisfied.

To All Catarrh Sufferers.
Myomei Guaranteed to Cure by w.
Eastman or Money Refunded.

The popularity and increase in the
sales OF Hyomei are unique in the annals
OF medicine. Such astonishing cures have
been made by this remarkable remedy
that the proprietors have authorized "
b. Eastman to sell every package of
Hyomei under an absolute guarantee
that 1t will cure catarrh. II it does not.
the purchaser can have his money re.
funded by w. B. Eastman.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. II ;s
the only method OF treatment that sends
by direct inhalation to the most remote
part OF the air passages, a balsamic air
that destroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enrches and purfes
the blood with additional ozone and
makes permanent and complete cures of
catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists OF an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle OF Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and il one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle OF Hvomei
can be obtained for so cents. 1t is the
most economical of all remedies adver.
tlsed tor the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method OF treating diseases OF the respir.
atory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for a few
minutes four times day and your
catarrh is cured. That's all.
1t not cured w. B. Eastman will refund
your money.

Current Press Comment.
State Teachers,s Convention.

The large attendance and the active
participation taken in the state teachers
convention just beld at st. Johnsbury,
show that our teachers are earnestly
trying to lay hold of the best methods Of
| instruction and to attain the highest
excellence possible in their work. They
should have all reasonable assistance
and the careful cooperation of all good
citizens in their important service to the
world Brattleboro Reiormer.
An Age of Religious Inquiry.
| st. Johnsbury, as usual, comes to the
| front OF Vermont towns with little
schemes for the public benefit although
in this particular inst ance the idea is not
new one or unknown in this state.
The pastor of the Baptist church in St.
Johnsbury announces that the local
Protestant clergymen will each in turn
occupy his pulpit and deliver a sermon
on why Am What Am" Following
this programme, the Congregationalis
minister, the Universalist, the Free Bap-
tist, the Advent, The Methodist, and the
Baptist, will each give his reasons for the
faith that is in him, 1t is explained that
while these are to be what the title
implies, a strong series OF denominat'on-
al discourses, they are not to be given TO
narrow our religious thought down TO
mere creeds, but in the intelligent dis
cussion of various beliefs to lead TO a
better idea OF church unity in Christian
service"
There is suggestion in this for St.
Adams clergyman. This is an age of
religious inquiry. People are not taking
so many things for granted as they did
in former times. The spirit OF the age
demands that religious creed shall ap-
peal to mans reason, that all systems of
religious teaching undertaking to be a
guide in matters spiritual shall stand the
ttst OF the rarest powers of intellectual
discrimination of the keenest minds Just
as all the theories oil natural science are
put to the same test. In short, man is
earnestly searching for the Truth about
all things, material and spiritual and
the bigotry Of ignorance OF less enlight-
ened age has at length succumbed 10 a
readiness to accept the Truth wherever
it may be found to lie St. Adams Mes

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Irish Royal Castle.

There is some talk that Kylemore
castle, in Galway, will be selected as
the royal residence in Ireland. The
king drove through portion Of the
grounds during his recent visit to the
Emerald Isle and expressed admiration
for the beauty of the place and Its
surroundings.
Kylemore castle is the biggest Of all
the great Irish homes, having been
built about twenty years ago by Mitch.
ell Henry, a wealthy Yorkshire manu-.
facturer, who sat for an Irish constit.
uency as Liberal.
A vast fortune was sunk in the build
ing of Kylemore. Some idea of its ex.
tent may be gathered from the fact
that there are 200 bedrooms in the
house.
The grounds cover thousands of acres
and are within mile or two Of the
coast. The castle has remained unten
anted and neglected for many years,
and the man who built it hardly en-.
joyed it. He had made in the grounds
two large lakes, and in one of these the
only daughter of the house was acct
dentally drowned while gathering wa.
ter lilies.
From that day Mr.. Henry refused to
occupy it. No suitable tenant was
found for the property, although it has
been to let for the last decade About
six months ago the trustees put the
estate up for sale, but the property was
withdrawn, as the highest bid was
only $150,000.

IS easily accounted for by the censor
snip. In Germany the actual number
OF professional writer's is estimated at
l20O0, 400 of whom are poets. 1t
would therefore appear that Deutsch-
land is not only the "readingest" but
the "writingest' country in the world.

Simply Breathe it.
A Few Minutes Use of Hycmei Four
Times n Day Cures Catarrh,

The pleasantest. most convenient and
the only scientific method tor the treat.
ment and cure OF catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age ana then breathe it for few minutes
four timts day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple a
way OF treating catarrh will effect cure,
but the most important discoveries of
science have always been the simplest.
By breathing Hyomei in this way every
particle of air that enters the air pas
sages of the throat and head and goes
into the lungs is charged with healing
balsam that kills the germs and bacili
OF catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation.

ShOplifters Who Exchange" Lo,

ShOplifters Who Exchange" Loot.
Every large department store in New
York city has to make an annual al
lowance for stealing. A big store in
Brooklyn sets aside $4,000 at the be-
ginning Of every year for that purpose.
Stealing by employees makes the small.
est part of the losses. Shoppers with
lifting" proclivities are the chief Of
Tenders, though truckmen get away
with many dollars worth of merchan.
disc in the course of a year.
One of the most impertinent features
of this stealing is the fact that the
goods are almost always brought back
to the store from which they are taken
and exchanged for other articles or
cash. The old rule of requiring the
check given with the purchase to be
brought when an exchange is made
does not defeat the plans of the thieves,
as it is a rule that was long ago found
to be i'll advised, making enemies of
regular patrons who had lost their
checks.-New York Press.
