The town that will vote license
simply because it is afraid its neigh
Dor will, and therefore draw trade
away, ought to be wiped out of ex-
istence. What is best for the town,
regardless of financial results, should
always be considered. Here is what
the Ludlow Tribune says of the man
who has this selfshness in mind
What shall we say of the prohibit
ZIONIST who from the fear of license
in a neighboring town and conse-
quent damage to business, lays aside
his principles and votes for license?
What can we say of him except that
principles aren't worth much to him
or to his town? Don't sacrifice too
much to the almighty dollar.

Great Fire In Barre.

The city of Barre suffered one of
the worst fires in its history between
1 and 2 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing. The Currier and Sheplee blocks,
near the railroad stations and depot
square, are a mass of charred ruins.
The total loss is estimated from
$4,000 to $4,000. Five stores
were burned out, a dozen families are
homeless, half dozen offices lost all
their effects, and one family which
were asleep on the top floor of the
Currier block had to be taken down
by ladders. The tenants had barely
time to put on their garments and
gain the street. None of the occu,
pants were able to save anything.

OBITUARY..

Gaylord Marvin. only child of Avery s. and
Lena Marvin Holmes. was born in johnson,
Vermont, May 3. 1898, aud died in Ring
wood, Illinois, February 10, 1903. The fam
lily moved from their former home in the fall
of 1899, and settled in Ringwood, where they
have since resided.
About one year ago little Gaylord suffered
from an illness from which he never fully re-
covered, but was comfortably well until cold
weather came on again when he began to
fail. The last five weeks of his life were weeks
of suffering patiently borne, while tender
hands did all that human love could do to
save him. He was a bright, active, happy
child, with mind unusually quick to grasp
ideas far beyond his childish years. and a
ready wit and clearness of expression not
often found in one SO young. His nature
WAS loving one that bound him to his par.

of Col. William Cary Sanger, now
Assistant Secretary of War, to Pres
ident Mckinley in 1900, on the Re-
serve and Auxiliary forces of Eng
land and the militia of Switzerland.
Col. Sanger discusses the probability
of war and the necessity for prepara-
ton as protection to the country.
He points to the awful cost of mad
equate preparation found in the case
of France in her war with Germany,
and says that our own history has
an ugly record of useless debt, of
needless suffering and of wasted
treasure due to the unpreparedness
of the North for the Civil War. He
says that the story of the Spanish
American War has much which
Americans must read with pain, and
that notwithstanding the fact that
lives were uselessly sacrificed because
of inadequate preparation for war,
there are certain people who oppose
every effort to lessen in the future the
needless loss of life through fear of
what is called militarism,"

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion,
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some

of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

FRUIT INSTEAD OF DRUGS.
Druggists Would Starve If People
Would Eat More Apples.

Many of our common fruits are just
as useful and much nicer than doctors
prescriptions, says London Answers.
The apple, for instance. Not only is
the apple an excellent purifier of the
blood, but 1t is cure for dysentery.
and has also the peculiar effect of re-
storing an intoxicated person to so
briefly. A diet of stewed apples eaten
three times a day. has worked wonders
in cases of confirmed drunkenness.
giving the patient an absolute distaste
for alcohol in any form.
The pineapple is another fruit most
valuable in throat affections. Indeed,
it has saved many life of diphtheric
patient. The juice squeezed from a
ripe pine is the finest thing in the
world for cutting the funguslike mem
brane which coats the throat in diph-
iberia, and If used in time never fails
to cure.
After a severe attack of Influenza
the throat is often relaxed and the ton
sils painful. An old-fashioned remedy
still in use in many parts of the west
of England is a conserve of roses. This
is sort of jam made from the hips
of the common wild rose. 1t is not un-
pleasant in taste and certainly pos
sesses strong and astringent proper
ties.
To eat a grape a minute for an hour
at rime, and to repeat this perform
ance three or four times a day, eating
very little else meantime but dry
bread. may seem a monotonous way of
spending the time. This treatment
works wonders for people whose diges-
tions have got out of order from worry
or overwork. 1t is no mere quack pre-
scription, but a form of cure recog-
niZed and advised by many well known
physicians. Grapes are, perhaps, the
most digestible OF any fruit in exist
ence.
A cordial made from blackberries is
greatly recommended by the Devon
shire country folk as a cure for collie,
and many a farmers wife makes
blackberry cordial as regularly as ell
derberry wine. The latter heated and
mixed with little cinnamon, is one
of the best preventives known against
a chill. The flowers, too. of the elder
come in useful. An ointment made by
layering them in mutton suet and olive
oil is most soothing in case of boils.
Nowadays doctors forbid equity pa
tients to eat any kind of sweet foods.
but recommend them to eat at least a
dozen walnuts a day. There is no
doubt that walnuts are most useful to
gouty subjects, or in cases of chronic
rheumatism. Swelling goes down and
pain decreases.

Plain Names But Lofty Titles.

The duke of Tetuan was a properly
Impressive title, for Spanish govern
ment minister, though it covered the
personality of an Irishman named
O'Donnell. His title came from the
fact that his father, in the Spanish
service, captured the Moorish city of
Tetuan. This was in 1853. and two
years later the sultan of Morocco ran
somed the city for $40, .000-a
rather large sum for Mohammedan
town of $4,000 people. In this connec-
ton it is recalled that the Emin Bey
subsequently called Emin Pasha. who
figured so prominently in British mill
tary operations in Egypt and the Up
per Nile country few years ago. was
