Making the Law an Issue.

"Inasmuch as the newspapers seem
to be in the business of nominating
senators from Orange county, we are
glad to pass the news along. We are of
the opinion, however, that they would
have to promise not to vote for a repeal
of the local option law in order to get
the election. "-Brattleboro Reformer.
The Reformer has been one of the
ablest advocates of license, and an earn
est defender of the new law. 1t has, in
common with the license papers, said
that the law should be given fair trial,
and should not be made an issue in the
coming state campaign Yet it is the
first paper to raise the issue by insisting
that the senators from Orange county
be pledged not to vote to repeal the new
law. If this is not raising the issue,
what is it?

railroad is alive to the possibilities of
developing business enterprises along its
line, thus bringing new and permanent
business to the road and helping the
towns as well. Would that other rail-

tate what the Delaware and Hudson
company is doing, 1t has sent the fol-
lowing circular letter to all its agents:
"To Agents: The Delaware and Hud-
son company is contemplating move
ment for the purpose of locating manu-

will be necessary to know what facili-
ties can be afforded at your town for
the end in view and the special advan-
tages which it may possess. You are,

The Bristol Herald tells why the
county fair was big success in few
words "This years Addison county fair
was a success in every particular. The
attendance was large and the exhibits
were far ahead of former years in both
quality and number. The usual long
waits between the heats were filled in by
the troutadours, bicyclists and the Sher-
man band, a combination that was sue
cessful in entertaining the people. In
fact there was something doing all the
time. This result was brought about
by progressive ideas, and a pulling to-
gether of the officials of the society and
the county press. We hope this years
precedent will be followed next year.
Such a course is a sensible one as it is
sure to bring success" Any county or
town can make fair run on these lines
a success and helpful to the people and
town.

pointed for that purpose may make in
that direction. News and Citizen.

To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as anyone discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
| according to directions on the bottle,
and the cold is sure to pass away with
out leaving any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
tarrh which is making SO many lives

bit of advice: Don't play the other fell

you are "a natural born sucker" you are
immune TO sensible suggestions, -Rut-

of chance are allowed on the grounds

THE RIGHT WAY.

The Middlebury Register believes that
the abuse of liquor selling can be done
away by the state selling the liquor ''by
its own sworn officers" This idea has
more supporters than it did year ago.
If liquor must be sold, and it will be as
long as it is made, it would be better to
let the state make the profit rather than
license a few individuals, thus creating
monopolists.-3 Bristol Herald.

it.-Swanton Courier.

license paper, but 1t is a newspaper as
well, and believes in telling the truth

Few things are more disconcerting to
the thrifty hOusekeeper than spill of
ink on her snowy napery. If fresh
lemon is always kept in the house the
ugly black stain can be entirely re-
moved by cutting quarter of lemon
and squeezing the juice on the ink
spot, which should then be rubbed over
with yellow soap and rinsed in cold
water. The properties Of the lemon
are so numerous that, like bottle of
sweet oil, no housekeeper should ever
be without both these commodities.
Apart from culinary uses, if child
wakes up with tight little cough the
juice of lemon, mixed with honey
and given in small quantities, is most
soothing.
