INFLUENZA is always more or less
prevalent at this season Of the year.
This disease is very similar to a severe
cold and if allowed to take its course
is liable TO cause serious results. The
best treatment for influenza is to avoid
exposure and take Cnamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This medicine gives imme-
date relief and if used as directed, will
ward off all dangerous consequences.
1t leaves the system in a natural and
healthy condition. It always cures and

YES OR NO?
Honolulu People Are Respect
fully Asked to Answer
These Questions.

Is there anything in the evidence of
ones senses?
Is there anything in the testimony or
ones friends?
Can reliance be placed upon state

Are the opinions of local citizens Of
any greater moment than those OF
strangers?
Would you sooner believe people liv-

dents of your own city?
We think not! for home proof can
easily be investigated.

NO NEED TO SUFFER so.

"She bears her sickness pa
tiently; she makes no com
plant" How often we hear
that said and how it stirs the
pity in our hearts. There are
plenty of sufferers of whom it
is true,-of both sexes and all
ages. The success of modern
science, however, in combating
disease is at once a cause for
gratitude and wonder. 1t is well
to bear pain patiently, yet is
it not better not to be Obliged

we ALL" if we can only pre-
vent suffering or get rid of it.
Well, the medical art is max
ing a great record along this
line in these days. Remedies
have been discovered within the
past few years which prove
how sincere and persevering has
been the search after knowledge,
and how rich the reward. Chief
among these splendid results is
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
now known and used all over
the world. For one thing it
solves the vexed question of
how to employ cod liver oil in
consumption and other wasting
diseases without doing more
harm than good. This alone is
a victory second to scarcely any
in the history of medicine. Dis
carding the Objectionable pecu-
liarities of this otherwise valua-
bic drug, the preparation, which
is palatable as honey contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t expels the
germs of disease from the blood
and supplies flesh and strength
to the wasted and feeble body.
1t creates appetite and causes
your food to nourish you. 1t is
wholesome medicine guaran-
teed to do what is claimed for
it. Effective from the first dose.

Bradstreet' Vermont Report.

Careful investigation made by Brad
streets concerning business conditions
indicates among favorable features, an
increased retail trade, good creamery
business, and active preparations for
local lumber operations. Perhaps the
condition that excites the most serious
concern is the water situation, which
assumes the proportion of menace as
springs and streams are low, many places
facing what is almost a water famine.
Manufacturing lines in many instances
are very quiet, prospects point to con-
tinued quietness until the first of Janu-
ary, after which it is hoped business will
improve. There are quite large num-
Der of granite cutters idle in Barre and
vicinity, and it is thought a good many
have gone to Italy for the winter, as it
is not unusual for workmen in this line
to return for visit during the slack
period. The demand is very good for
men in the woods on lumber Jobs. Col
lections as whole are reported satisfac-
tory although complaints are made in
some quarters.

funeral of Sa mueI p. Nash,

Z 1t was a cold bleak day when the re-
mains of this departed patriarch reached
the Middlebury station, accompanied by
his son Edward, his daughter Miss
Jenny, and his grandson Charles Nash.
The pall-bearers, Albert A. Fletcher,
Gavin Moffatt, Hubbard C. Potter and
Walter T. Chester were in waiting, and
carried the casket from the train to the
hearse, where it was covered with floral
offerings. The weather was so incle-
ment that many old friends did not dare
to take the cold ride, and hence the pro-
cession was not long one. At the
church in New Haven Mills about fifty
people were assembled. The simple
service was conducted by Rev. G. N.
Thomas, and his remarks were worthy
of preservation in letters of gold for their
aptness and sincerity. Without affecta-
tion or ostentation, they touched all
hearts.
The interment in the family lot in the
center of the cemetery completed the
ceremonies, and nothing of him but his
memory lives above ground,

Wholesale Violations Of the Il w

A comparison of the records of the
commissioner of internal revenue for
this district and the records of Secretary
of State Fleetwood show how the license
law is being violated.
There have been issued 773 United
States liquor licenses in this state this
year. OF these 451 were licenses to
retail liquor dealers; 900 to retail malt
liquors. 6 to wholesale liquor dealers.
Only $50 state licenses have been
granted, as follows: n first class, 81
second class, 30 third class. 8 fourth
class, and S3 druggists licenses.
Take $50 from 773 and it shows that
523 persons in Vermont are paying good
hard cash to the United States for the
right to sell in violation of the state
license law.
This is a worse record than in the
worst years of prohibition. 1t is up tc
the license men to do something.

New Daily Paper.

WAnew it would have to come. The
combination of live, hustling editor,
like Frank E. Howe, and a live, prosper
GUS town like Bennington, was sure to
end in live, up-to-the-second daily
paper. The first issue of the Bennington
Daily Evening BANNER was issued Tues
day evening and the paper is credit to
any town. Editor Howe has had excel
lent daily experience and knows how to
make good paper, and Bennington is
large enough to support daily paper.
The first issues are full of live daily
news, in which local matters have, as
they should, the first call. The paper
will live and prosper.

Work to Discipline Acquired Mt
CRsseI Gymnasi um.

Emperor William in speech at a
great banquet given at Cassel the other
day, attributed his restless activity and
zeal for the country to the discipline of
his tutors. The emperor attended the
gymnasium at Cassel and received in
struction at the same time from num-
Der of private teachers, chief Of whom
was Prof. Hinspeter, now retired.
"The very urgent and constant prepa-
ration that received" said the emperor
made me capable of putting on my shout
ders the burden of work which is becom-
ing heavier from day to day. Although
my teachers were aware Of the respon-
sibilities they had undertaken, and util-
lied every hour and minute to prepare
me for my high calling, none Of them had
a clear provision OF what an immense
burden of labor and what a depressing
weight he has to carry who is responsible
for 58,000,000 of Germans.

STOP FOOT BINDING.
Chinese Women Organize Club to Inn

forms That Might Follow.

According to the North China Herald,
there is a movement along the Hoang-
Ho to improve the standing OF Chinese
women. Tien Tsu Hui, the Society OF
the Natural Feet, has been established,
it's sole purpose being the determination
of pedal slavery throughout the Celestial
kingdom. It's membership, as yet total
ly inadequate to expedite progress, Is
composed, says the New York Herald
of native and foreign women. Its first
step toward reform Is the publication
of It's propaganda and petition to for
eigners to aid in freeing Chinese women
from notifying customs
When you come right down to the
bottom of the matter ii is time the
women of China were given a chance
to catch up with their western sisters,
There Is no reason on earth TO believe
they are not naturally gifted with as
broad an understanding. The project
therefore, should not be footless. II
there Is anything In the old saying
'He who runs may read. " their new !oot-
ing ought to affect their education.
1t Is not anticipated that the innova.
ton will mean any marked difference in
the rhythm of Chinese poetry 1t may
however, cause confusion for future
anthropologists who concern Themselves
with Chinese footprints on the sands OF
time
