A Veteran Priests Testimony.

Few cergymen in Vermont have had
longer service or have had better chance
to study human nature than Rev. FIR. J.
A. Boissonnault, the beloved head of the
Notre Dame des Victories church in St.
Johnsburg. Here is his opinion as ex-
pressed in letter to Rev. o. X. Miller of
Holyoke, Mass who has been speaking
in the interests OF the prohibltory law in
Vermont:
| am in favor OF prohibition and always
against the saloons. About thirty years
ago l lived in Fair Haven, VT, pine miles
from Whitehall, n. Y, and by personal
observation know it is great misfor-
tune to have the open saloons for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. Almost
every time | went over to Whitehall, |
saw large numbers OF people drinking in
the open saloons and it was a sad dis
grace. lcOuld there see the difference by
comparing the condition OF the two
places, one under license, the other under
prohibition. My sincere conviction is
that the easier we make it for people to
get liquor, the greater the misery We
bring upon them.
Since coming TO St. Johnsbury twenty.
eight years ago | have been very much
pleased to see how much better the con
dition OF the people is here under proh
ton, than in New York state under
license. Although | have been in St
Johnsbury twCnty-eight years, vet in al
that time have seen but very leN
drunken men.
sincerely hope that the people of Yer
mont will vote to sustain our pr,s,n
prohi1itory law, and thus sustain ou
tar reputation for temperance and so
briefly.

If you are suffering from kidney or

YOU desire to urinate often, and are you
compelled to get up frequently during the
night? Does your back pain you? Does
your urine stain linen? Is there a scald-
ing pain in passing it, and is it difficult to
hold the urine back? Ifso, your kidneys
or bladder are diseased"
Try putting some Of your urine in a

| Ex-senator Ross Presents IA strong Ar
Gument for Restricting the saloon.
! EDITOR OF CALIFORNIAN:
The Outlook of Ian. 10, 1908, contains
an article entitled THE Morely Commits
sion" This is a commission created by
Mr.. MoreIy, wealthy Englishman, and
sent to this country to inquire into the
| industrial methods and conditions in
the United States. The inquiry was
suggested by the sharp competition
which the manufacturers Of the United
States are giving in every branch OF COM
merce to the manufacturers in Great
| Britain. The commission was composed
of 20 secretaries of manufacturing estab-
| ishments of Great Britain. The article
is by George Lynch, a special correspond
cnt Of the London Daily Express. One of
the inquiries which the commission inves-
tigatcd was: els the American working
man more sober than the British ?"
What Mr.. Lynch says of the result of the
labOrs OF the commission on this inquiry
may be of interest to the workingmen of
this state who are soon to vote whether
a high license-local option law shall be
substituted for the prohibitory law. |
quote what Mr.. Lynch writes on this
inquiry: Without going into the ques-
ton Of actual sobrietv it is unquestiona-
bly, clear that the American drinks less
than the British workman. In some fac
tories visited by delegates in the course
of their circular tour, beer or spirits are
absolutely forbidden up to the conclusion
of working hours; where that rule is not
put in force, men seldom drink beer at
their midday meal. Coffee is the usual
beverage. Then have spoken to a num-
Der OF employers on the subject OF men
being late at work on Monday morning,
as is so much the case i'll towns like
Northampton, England, where there is
no work done on MONDAYS,
and even on Tuesday morning the men
do not appear to have recovered from
the effects OF the holiday. Such thing
would not be tolerated in the states the
regulations appear everywhere the
strict record is kept, wages are
locked if men are late, but that does not
mean that they are allowed to make
practice of coming late. This is not toll
Grated. A repetition of these oflenses
and dismissal follows. We won't keep
men who drink, or who come late as the
result of it, tha.'s all there is to it, were
the words of one OF them. When we
come to look at statistics we find that
what has been impressed and borne in
on us so forcibly by what must necessa-
rily be rather cutsory observation, is
borne out by figures. The British work
man drinks just twice as much as the
American. Per head of the population
the consumption is as follows:

Representative McAndrews has been
the victim of Il practical joke. Some Of
his friends passed the word around that
the congressman had large supply Of
fine goldfish which had been furnished
by the government for distribution
among his constituents. McAndreWs
did not understand the first letter, which
merely requested him to send some fish
in time to fill an aquarium intended for

brought dozens of letters making de-
mands for goldfish. lie finally learned

MRS. FRANK FOSTER
HAS GREAT RECORD

Mrs. Frank Foster, the three-year-old
Ben Strome flly. holds the honor of
having won the greatest humble of
races this year.
With her victory last Wednesday at
Buffalo she has passed the wire first
nineteen times since Jan. 3. whom she
won her first race this year. All her
races were at six furlongs and her
special forte was the mud.
Last Tuesday she was asked to go
n mile and a sixteenth. n few ex-
pected her to go more than six or seven
f~urlongs. The track was just to her
liking that day and she galloped over
the entire distance, beating a very good
field, She also holds the record for the
year of having carried the llghtest
weight of lie year on her back. This
occurred on July 81 at For, Erie. A
little fellow named Callahan, an APP
prentice, had the noun and he weighed
in at 81 pounds. The race was at a
mile that day, and she finished second.
Beside winning nineteen races she mas
been second thirteen times and third
Mrs. Frank Foster opened her cam
palgn at New Orleans last winter and
was shipped to Bennings at the open
Ing of that track. After the Morris
Park meeting her owner took her to the
Canadian tracks. where she has been
campaigning ever since.
