Everyone knows that a cough is the
danger signal of consumption, and yet
some will go carelessly on in the danger

tinually sounding the alarm.
Downs Elixir is the safe and only ref

Fat Mems Club Banquet.

The editor of the CALIFORNIAN has re-
ceived the following official communica-
ton from David Wilkie, the well known
travelling man, president of the New
England Fat Mems Club, announcing
their first annual banquet at that popu.
lar hosiery, Hale's Tavern:
Will you kindly insert in your paper
a few lines giving the New England Fat
Mems Club a little notoriety? You
know, small match can start a big fire
If there are shavings enough. We think
we have the shavings. Matters of con-
siderable Importance sometimes turn on
a small pivot. There were present No
vember %, 1908, at Hale's Tavern,
Wells River ten men whose aggregate
weight was 2.1S2 POUNDS, averaging
21S Is pounds.
As this is an age OF org LIMITATIONS,
clubs, and societies; we thought it might
be well 10 start a Fat Mems Club"
founded upon friendship, brotherly love,
and good fellowship. We now have 10
names enrolled. Conditions, 200 pounds
or over. We have to draw the line
somewhere. We have very kind feelings
for our light weight brothers and as fast
as they tat up to the requisite weight
will take them in.
It has been thought that fat men are
lymphat'c and slow; now we prop ,se to
ascertain, how much fun, FIRE, aud ami
nation there is in them to the square
inch, and so propose to call the brothers
together for banquet at Hale's Tavern,
Wells River. Saturday, October Sth.
All who are familiar with Mr.. Hale's
methods know it will be an up-to
care affair. We are a set of fellows
appreciate the influence and mighty
u wrr of the press SO will hope TO have
W editors with us though under
wetget.

A st. Johnsbury Doctor Acquitted.

In the suit for malpractice, on trial
last week, at Newport, in favor of F. S.
Gordon v. DIR. E. E. Dickerman of West
Burke, and DR.. E. II. Ross of this place,
both OF the defendants were acquitted.
The alleged malpractice was in ampu-
tating the leg Of the plaintiff, below the
knee, July Is, 1898. At the close of the
plaintiffs testimony the court ordered
verdict for DR.. Dickerman, on the ground
that he was so engaged in administering
ether to the plaintiff at the time DR.. Ross
and the late DR.. Sleeper of West Burke
performed the operation, that he could
give no attention to what they did. The
court allowed the case to go to the Jury
against DR.. Ross, on only two points,
and on these DIR. Ross practice was sup
ported as entirely skilllul and proper, by
the testimony of Profs Gle and Frost OF
Hanover; OF DR.. J. Nd. Allen and DIR. w.
]. Aldrich of this place, and of Drs
Whitaker and Bogue OF Newport. The
jury promptly returned verdict in favor
of DR.. Ross. and, on inquiry, the court
found that the condition Of the limb,
when amputated, was as described in
the testimony of DR.. Ross.

The directness of the appeal in liter
ary expression involves a completely
Of revolt against old forms. The writ
err is more variously tempted than the
speaker into indirections. The latter
would never call the sun "the orb OF
day. or by the classic name Of "Phoe-
bus" Yet there was a period in Eng
lish literature which lasted for long
time and is not even now~wholly be-
yond the reach of our recollection
when it seemed breach Of dignity for
a writer to call anything by its right
name. The concrete thing must be re-
lieved of it's vulgarity by the mask
of a phrase. The horse was "the fleet
courser," and all fruits were indiscrim-
fnateIy "Pomona's treasures" Quail
ties abstract enough in their common
names were redeemed from the vice
of particularly by personification. The
processes of abstraction and generaliza-
ton in the SO called classic age OF
English literature uprooted all things
and set them floating in the air; the
mind was not simply a mirror reflect
ing things, but made composite photo
graphs of the images themselves. Ma.
ture was seen as bundle Of these com.
posites.-H. NJ. Alden in Harpers

Former Academy Student Led.

A recent Manila, P. l., paper contains
a lengthy account of the ascent of a
party OF Americans to the crater of the
wonderful Canlaon volcano, which is the
highest mountain of the Visayan group.
The leader of the party was G. w. Eel
ton. an Enosburg boy, graduate of St.
Johnsbury Academy, of the University OF
Vermont. Burlington, and for the past
three years an educational worker at
1loIlo. The Canlaon volcano is 5000
feet above sea level. The party was of
course obliged to make the trip on foot
and this was accomplished in three days
and three hours. The account of the
climb. which is most graphic and inter
esting, was written by Mr. FELTON, tor
The Manila Times.

In Huxfnx Feed.

In buying feeds to supplement his
home grown supply the dairyman's
aim should be to secure dfgestible and
palatable protein on the most econom-
ical terms.
The quality of the manure made de-
ponds to a great extent on the kinds Of
feed used, and a judicious selection
will result in a great improvement in
this direction.
The cheapness of the buckwheat
products for the purchaser of protein
is pointed out by the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station In a review Of its ex-
animation of many concentrated feed
ing stuffs sold in the state. These feeds
were also found to contain large guam
titles of carbohydrate and fat.
OF the wheat products wheat feed
was slightly the cheapest, and mid
dlings were more expensive than bran.
Oat middlings were a little cheaper
than wheat bran, while among the
whole grain products, all of which
were expensive sources of protein.
ground oats were the cheapest and
ground wheat the most expensive.

TURKEYS FOR EARLY MARKET
Early and Heavy Fall Feeding.
Plenty to Eat and a Wide Range.

Early and Heavy Fall Feeding.
Plenty to Eat and a Wide Range.
1t is claimed that no other kind of
live stock will return SO large profit
to the successful grower as will poul-
try, and no kind of poultry is more
profitable than turkeys when properly
handled. Turkeys that are Matched
early in the spring should grow to
weigh from fourteen to twenty pounds
by Thanksgiving week. These weights
are often exceeded by the best growers,
but they are the most popular and
most easily produced.
AS soon as the weather begins to turn
cold and insect food becomes scarce an
increased grain diet must be provided
for the growing turkeys. A ration of
wheat and corn is best. Do not feed
them too much at first, but gradually
increase the supply until they are hav
ing all they will eat.
Those who succeed best in having
the turkeys ready and in fine condition
for the early market are those who al
low them their freedom and feed them
all they will eat of wholesome, fatten-
ing grain. Even when finishing them
it is not we'll to confine them. If they
are fed each day at regular hours and
at the same place it will be an easy
matter to have them come three times
a day to this place to be fed. Their
longing for food being fully supplied,
less violent exercise will be taken, and
the energy that would be expended in
their wanderings in search of food will
be directed in the more profitable chan
mel of growing and developing for mar
ket. Turkeys that are poorly fed dur
ing the fall eXpend in seeking food that
is no longer attainable considerable of
the flesh they may have gained. When
feeding turkeys for market it must be
remembered that they will sell for
considerably more per pound than can
be obtained for hogs or cattle, while
the actual food cost per pound of tur-
key meat is but little if any more than
for hogs or cattle. 1t will always pay
well to give to growing turkeys all the
grain they can eat.
Keep them growing from start to fin
ish and have them ready for the
Thanksgiving market, when prices are
usually the best. This may be accom-
plished quite easily with all the early
broods, provided they are properly and
literally fed as the fall weather begins
to remove their natural food supply of
worms, bugs, seeds and herbs of all
kinds. In feeding for market the end
most desired is complete growth and
the greatest possible weight by Thanks
giving time. The records of years show
the highest value for market turkeys
to have been reached during the last
week of November While the demand
is not quite so brisk at Christmas time
the prices are almost as high.

The Boom In Wheat.

Wheat has advanced over 80 cents a
bushel since the upward movement
began last June. Disappointment in
the winter crop and later threatened
and actual disaster to the spring cror
have been the main levers that have
lifted prices above $1.1O per bushel
AS to the spring crop, not enough is
definitely known at this writing tc
allow an estimate that will be worth
anything. Many reports indicate that
there will be no wheat over a large
section of the northwest. Authorities
estimate the shortage at 20 to % pei
cent Certain it is that the people OF
the northwest have been buying wheat
for speculation very literally, evident.
ly believing that it will be good prop
erty by the time another harvest is
here. Even if the conservative esti.
mates Of the damage are correct this
country will have little wheat to ex.
port And it will probably need little
The foreign buyer is long locker al
the price, and with wheat at $1.1O il
Chicago he will buy no more than he
has to have. The price will cut big
figure this year in the suficiency OF

ports and probably home consumption
too.-National Stockman.
