TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION
Surprising Statements Youched For
 by W. H. Camp.

All of us who know Mir. Camp are confident that he would make none but straightforward, honest statements, and when he tells you of the many Canaan people who have suffered for years with indigestion and have been cured through using Pepsikola tablets we must believe every word is true. No other remedy so quickly relieves and cures sour stomach, heartburn, coated tongue, nervousness, insomnia, debility, that run-dowp, tired. out feeling and every other trouble aris- ing from poor digestion. Mir. Camp con- tinues to sell Pepsikola tablets with tho understanding that you can have your 25 cents back in case you are in the least disappointed. In the face of these facts nobody should hesitate an instant to avail themselves of the opportunity to regain perfect digestion, perfect health, renewed energy, new vigor and new vitality through the use of a remedy that does not cost a penny should it fail to do all that is claimed. There IS no risk to you whatever and we ask you to try it on Mir. Camps guarantee.

there would be no disastrous conse- uuences but is equally possible, and much more probable, that there would.
 The narrow road is one of the reasons why many people have been obliged to discontinue driving for pleasure.
 So far as we are able to learn, there is no good reason for allowing this con- dition to exist In fact there is one most excellent reason why it should not be permitted and that reason is found in the Public Acts of the State of Connec- ticut, passed ill January 1905. Section 1 of Chapter 277 says, under the caption "An Act concerning the Cutting of Bushes Adjoining Highways"
 "The selectmen in every town shall cause to be cut, at least once ill each year, all bushes, trees and branches of trees growing within ten feet of the center of the travelled way within the limits of the public highways ill their respective towns"
 Section 3 says that
 ''Every Selectman of any town who shall, after thirty days notice by five citizen taxpayers of such town, neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of section one of this act shall be fined not more than seven dollars for each month of such neglect or refusal" "
 The above extracts from the law show conclusively that there is no excuse for the existence of 8 roadway fianked on either side of the wheeltrack by a menance to public safety.
 Down with the bushes! Widen the narrow highway

When the wave of popular enthusiasm for Bryan as a presidential candidate began it's sweep through the ranks of the democracy, the republicans predicted that it's force would spend long before the time for the choice of standard bearers in the campaign of 1908. Some republican papers claim that even at this early day there are signs of a de. cline in the decided preference shown for the Nebraskan and that by the time the call for the convention is issued there will be other prominent democrats whose chances of securing the nom- ination will be equally as good as Bryan's.

Uncle Sam is believer in the "open shop" and makes no distinction between the union and the non union man. What the government desires above all other things is efficiency. The postoffice de- partment makes no objection to the em- ployes identifying themselves with labor unions but the employe who declines to join union must neither be molested nor coerced. The department offers the fullest protection to the non-union man. In substance Uncle Sam says all men look alike to him so long as they serve him in a satisfactory manner.

 Judge Roraback's Loyalty.
 At the conclusion of the meeting of the subscribers to the capital stock of the Canaan National Bank Friday evening at the office of A. T. & J. H. Roraback, a few citizens fingered to discuss the project and it was during this conver- sation that Judge Roraback paid a high tribute to his fellow citizens. He re- lllhThtu LUdb Sdudhulllts hIb IlOIo llutIdl and public-splrited, so far as their assets will permit, than any other people he ever knew. "Whenever a subscription paper is circulated here for a project possessing any merit whatever" said he "the canvassers always return with ample funds, sometimes more than are really needed. The longer one lives in Canaan, the better he likes the place and the more it is impressed upon his mind that its population is composed of liberal, hospitable, charitable and loyal people. '' All who know Judge Roraback and know Canaan will agree that he is right. And, by the way, this is the way to talk about your town. Talk it up instead of down. Be ready to recognize and uphold its many commendable features. How can outside people be expected to have a good impression of a village if the resi- dents are 10th to say a favorable word for it. Be loyal.

ANAEMlA.
Conditions In the Hood of which II
In the Heaulf

/ Conditions In the Hood of which It
In the Result.
| Anaemia means a condition In which
the blood is deficient either in quality
or quantity. 1t is question among
physicians whether there is ever an
actual permanent reduction In the to-
tai amount Of the blood. The quanti-
ty must vary, of course, from hour to
hour, according to the amount of fluid
that is drunk and the amount that is
lost by perspiration and In other ways.
but it is probable that the average
remains about the same from day to
day, except in cases of actual starva-
ton and deprivation of water.
Anaemia, then. is mainly question
of the makeup of the blood-that is,
of the number of its red eorpuscles, or
cells, and the relative amount of hemO-
globin-the coloring matter-which
these contain. The blood is complex
fluid. but in simple terms it may be
said to be a salty solution, containing
two kinds of cells-the red and the
white corpuscles. The white ones are
the scavengers of the body as well as
the policemen and soldiers. They pro-
tect the body from the disease germs
which threaten it's existence. The red
corpuscles, on the other hand, are the
commissary department. They bring
to the tissues the oxygen which they
need and remove the gaseous waste
products.
If the red corpuscles and the sub
- s1l. lnr olxy
composed, the hemOglobin. are reduced
in amount the tissues suffer for lack
of oxygen, and there is a lowering of
all the vital processes. The lessened
of hemoglobin accounts for
the paleness which is the chief outward
sign of anaemia.
1t is common to speak of two forms
of anaemia-primary and secondary.
Primary is the term used when the
anaemia can be traced to no definite
cause, but seems to be disease in
itself. Secondary is the word used
when the anaefnia is evidently the re-
suit of some other condition, such as
wasting disease or poor nourishment. 1t
is then only one of the symptoms of
such underlying state.
Among the chief causes of secondary
are drains upon the system by
frequent losses of blood or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronic
poisoning by lead or mercury, by the
essential poisons of certain diseases,
such as rheumatism and tuberculosis,
and by poisons formed in the body and
not promptly removed, which Is called
administration" and finally the de-
struction of the red corpuscles by
micro organism, as is the case in ma
