B. H. Matthews Unusual Offer.

"It isn't often that have faith enoug h
in the medicine put up by other people
to be willing to offer to refund the
money if it does not cure" said B. H.
Matthews to a Milford Chronicle man
who dropped into his store, but I am
GLAD to sell DR.. Howard's specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
on that basis.
"The DR.. Howard company, in order
to get a quick Introductory sale, author.
izes nae to sell their regular fifty cent
bottles at haifprice, 25 cents, and, al
though | have sold lot of it, and have
every package, not one has
been brought back as unsatisfactory.
Zone great advantage of this specific. ("
he continued, ''is its small dose and
form. There are sixty doses
n vial that can be carried in the vest
pocket or purse, and every one has
more medicinal power than big pill or
ablet or tumbler of mineral water"

Fewer GallOnsi Wears Longer. "

The secret is out aud Milford can 90
on living just as if the riddle had never
been asked.
No it can't either. Milford is not go.
ing to be what it was before. It's houses
are going to be brighter its people a
little more prosperous-they areegoing
to have some of their money left TO buy
other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this you
can paint building with fewer gallons
of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint than
with mixed paints, and it will wear
several times as long as a building
painted with lead and oil mixed by
hand.
There's proof abundant of it all over
the United States There will soon be
proof abundant OF it in Milford.
What will people do with the rest Of
their money?

from large numbers of friends who
will also give financial support if Wig
orous and aggressive steps are taken
to reap actual political results. Polit-
ical organization, close woven and
practical, has been effected in many
of these districts which will assure us
of fuller vote and a fairer count.
These organizations will be completed
and the district committee will be able
to whisper into the ear of every voter
through it's precinct organization.
Mr.. Mitchell made short organiza-
ton tour over the 18th district, devot-
ing about three weeks only to each
county, which neither gave time to see
people nor to effect organization be-
yond precinct chairmen. But the re-
suits were such as to warrant the
prophecy that, if the work is followed
up by the local committee with that
vigor and intelligence which has char
acterized that committee in the past,
the 18th district will be repre-:
sented in the legislature in 1906 by
PrOhibitionist with a party behind
him.
And this is the moral: If your dis
trict or locality is not already in the
swing for continuous, vigorous, hand
to-hand work among those voters who
hate the liquor traffic, you are not only
behind the times, but you are failing
both of your duty and your opportun-
ity. There never has been a time in
the whole history of the Prohibition
Party when so much depended upon
YOU, YOU as now In point of
money the liquor traffic has dollars

ence" CD with the powers that be
they are giants while we are pigmies.

let them not vaunt themselves. They
face loyal, patriotic, selfsacrificing
company of men and women who love
the home and what it stands for, who
love the government and it's purposes,
who stand for a flag clean from the
blot of the saloon and who under God,
are
OUT TO WIN.
In all the hosts of liquordom they

lacked of the real article was the
Stagger-it was non-alcoholic. He had
tables, games, cigars and tobacco. He
served free lunch with every drink
as liberal and attractive as that set
out by the best of saloons. In short
his place was poor mans club"
in every sense of the term Every
body was welcome, every convenience
of the place was extended to all COM
ers. "The poor, homeless fellow, of
whom we hear so much at the lips of
saloon apologists, was as welcome as
prince. But, surrounded by hun
dreds of saloons the "home saloon,
copying everything that the saloon
could offer except the jag, proved a.
commercial and philanthropic fizzle.
Mr.. Nichols lost thousands of hard
earned dollars in the enterprise. He
shut his shop for lack of customers.
Although he furnished every social
attraction which the "gregarious ami
NAL known as man" could want and
supplied the social demands of human
ity from Nomad to Nabob, he failed.
Hundred of saloons supplying no more
than he supplied (barring the single
item of alcoholic poison) sold under
their high license and flourished in
the same locality. The "home saloon"
conducted by Bishop Fallows shared
the same fate. Neither lasted a year.
Both lost money.
We asked Mr.. Nichols what in the
final analysis was the element of fail
ure. He replied, men seem to like
the effect of liquor"
The saloon is the poor mans club"
simply because it makes it's habitues
poor. That it ministers to a social
demand is without the support of ex-
perience; it ministers to a depraved
appetite. If it were merely to meet
social demand, enterprising business
men would find commercially sue
cessful substitute. The real demands
of life find their supply without inter-
vention of philanthropy.

THE LUkEwARM EDITOR.

Luke Warm, a timid editor,
Once ran a country sheet,
Whose every line and local note
Was couched in tones discreet
That none might take offense thereat,
Nor register a kick,
Although his CUFF and red-hot air
Made all his readers sick
Luke smiled on ev'ry face he met,
And wrote all things up right,
And never was he known to mix
In any righteous fight;
When any local renegade
Got in a nasty mess,
Luke smoothed it DER without word,
And let his readers guess.
And thus poor Luke went blindly on
With plan he thought discreet,
Until his patrons gan to ask:
what good is Luke's old sheet?
Without backbone, nor cen a mind
To stand by home and right;
Nor cen the nerve to print the truth
In plain old black and white!
Wen stop our papers all at once,
Our sentiments to show!"
Then each into the Saictsim stalked
And plainly told Luke So
Thus poor l.. Warm the lesson learned
This honey-suckle fun
of trying every class to please,
DispleaseS everyone.
