The standpatters should keep
their eyes on Brother Taft, he is
such '1ittle American" that he
has ordered the Panama Com
mission to buy 10000 barrels OF
British cement instead of patron
izing the home made article, pro-
duced by the cement trust. 1t is
1t is true that he saved the gov
eminent 81 cents a barrel, or
$7400, on this one deal, which
the trust loses over and above O
fair profit and if he continues this
patriotic policy the trusts that
control the price of other articles
used at Panama, will lose in the
same proportion. The American
consumer of cement and other
trust products must buy on less
favorable terms than his own gov
eminent as long as the Republi-
can politicians refuse to revise the
tariff that protects the trusts
and the American people
continue to elect Republican con-
crosses.

appearance in the big parade on
Decoration Day and was awarded
the prize, a beautiful set Of cul-glass

we're several Cadet companies in
the parade who drill every day, but
when il comes 20 the real thing
they arc not in il with the Guard.
Besides they are not in as good

FOUR SIMPLE RULES.
Follow Them and Health, Happiness and
Prosperity Will be Yours.

Follow Them and Health, Happiness ana
Prosperity Will be Yours.
If one would be healthy, happy and pros
porous, follow these four simple rules. %
Keep the bowels open every day. (2) Chew
your food slowly and thoroughly. CD Avoid
indigestible foods. (4) If there are any
symptoms of stomach troubles, take Milo
ma before each meal until cured.
No matter how many years you may have
suffered with stomach troubles or how wor-
ried by sleeplessness, nervousness, loss OF
appetite, furred tongue, specks before the
eyes, headaches, backaches, weakness and
debility, indigestion or other ills that are
caused by weak stomach, you can be
cured by the faithful use of Mi-o-na.
Take one of the little tablets before each
meal with the fixed determination to get
the most benefit out of it.
Mi-o-na is not fanciful experiment, it IS
not patent medicine, it is not cure all. 1t
is a scientific remedy recommended but Tor
one trOuble,-weakness of the digestive or
CANS. 1t is permanent cure, and is sold
by r. H. Moody under guarantee that 1t
costs nothing unless it does all that is claim
ed for it.
When Mi-o-na has been used for a few
DAYS, the digestive system will be so greatly
improved that all the food eaten is convert
ed into nutrition, so that nOurishment and
health are given to the whole system and
there is q rapid increase in weight, strength
and spirits.

The Beef Trust" has come to its
own defence, in series of articles now
appearing in the Saturday Evening
Post from J. Ogden Armour, president
of Armour & Co. The first article is
an ingenious and able defence of the
private car line system. The Railway
World, an excellent authority, while
admitting that no exception can be
taken to Mr.. Armour's arguments up
to a certain point, says that they do not,
in fact, answer the two charges which
have been fastened upon the packers:
a. that through their ownership of the
refrigerator cars they are given abso-
lutte control of certain important in
dustries in which the producers have
no alternative but to accept their terms,
and ~ that the allowances for this ser
vice which the car lines are able to ex-

MONROE.
Mr.. David Dolloff died Jan. 18th aged 50
wears. 10 months. An obituary will appear
later. Mrs. Mary Ann Clements, widow
of the late Elijah Clements, died Jan. 18TH
aged rs years. The year OLD chllq OF MI
and Mrs. Ansel Benson was scalded SO oad-
" Jan. 10Th by falling in a tub of hot water
that it only lived a hours. The mother just
set the tub down for an instant to remove
kettle of fat from the stove, when the chlli
climbed up and fell in. The skin was al
off of the chid's body and face but its eyes
remained bright till it died. Dr.. Newcomo
dressed the wounds and made it as comfor-
table as he could The parents and grand
parents, who lived together, are in great Sor-
row that the child should have met such a
death, and the mother reproaches herself
continually that she should be the cause OIL
it. The funeral was held at the Schoohouse
by Elder Rufus Bartlett. Much sympathy
is expressed for the family. The lnstalla-
ton of Rebekah Lodge, also the Monroe l.
O. O. f. Lodge, occurred recently with a
fine supper each time. A large gathering
was present. We feel that District Deputy
Grand Master George Palmer should be
particularly spoken of for the able manner
in which he installed the officers. Mt
Lizzie Weber was summoned to Belfast
last week to her father, who was very i'll.

every two weeks all winter. The next
meeting will be with Miss S. A. Mansur

tort from the railroads are equivalent
to heavy rebates on their shipments. 1t
concludes as follows:
We believe that industrial develop
ment will best be secured by the aboll-
ton of the present private car line sys-
TEN. Whatever the necessity OF TINS
organization in the early days OF re-
frigeration traffic, that necessity no
longer exists. A corporation controlled
by the railroads can perform the ser
vice for the entire country, and by this
change in ownership, all the charges
for refrigeration can best be subjected
to public control. Joint ownership OF
refrigerator cars by the railroads is
demanded by every interest save that
of the present owners, and the OBVIOUS
necessity of such change, we are con-
fident, viii! not allow the reorganization
of this important service to be long de-
layed.
