PROTECT IT IN TIME.
Law to stop Alteration of "Star
Spangled Banner" Needed.

-NeeUtUs
The continued carping at "rhe Star
Spangled Banner" words and music,
as II national hymn. has evidently i'm
pressed some minds with the idea that
respect whatever, and that any one who
can write rhyme is at liberty to gar
BILE it to suit himself.
Recently one of the leading music
ton of ''The Star Spangled Banner"
in which the authors original third
stanza has been radically and consider
ably "amended' by some unknown bard.
chronistic, will probably be accepted by
the public and in the course of time
supersede the correct version. If this
sort of thing keeps on there will soon
be nothing left Of the original poem.
There is no law to prevent any one
who pleases from rewriting the words
of THE Star Spangled Banner" to suit
himself but no one has the right to pre-
sent his own alterations as if they were
the original words written by Francis
Scott Key and first published in the
Baltimore American in September.
1914. Laws to protect the national flag
have been found necessary. There
seems to be need, too. of law to pro-
tect the national hymn.-Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle.

SODA FOUNTAINS PAY WELL.

Tney Draw Customers to the Drug
Store in Every Town.
1t would be hard to imagine a live,
up-tO-date American drug store these
days without good soda fountain, but
probably there are many cities in the
world where this luxury Is not found.
Retail druggists who have never in.
stalled soda fountains would do well
to consider their money making posi-
bilities, however, and 1t would be
strange If any good druggist in town
Of any size, whether north or south Of
the equator or In the Eastern or West
ern Hemisphere, could not make good
soda fountain profitable enterprise.
The soda fountain itself need not be
all expensive affair, but on the other
hand fountains can be obtained which
cost many hundreds of dollars and
which 1t would take many months of
business to pay for. The old idea that
soda fountains were profitable only dur
Ing few months of the year no longer
prevails in this country. This is proved
by the experience Of New York drug
store which in one evening early in
the spring accommodated 800 customers
within four hours. There are few
American drug stores or confectionery
shops which do not operate their foun-
tains through the entire twelve months.
1t Is not necessarily true, moreover,
that people patroniZe soda fountains
simply for the urpose of quenching their
thirst. The large variety of Liquid
foods" such as egg drinks, matted milk,
fermented milk, etc, provide the busy
man with the opportunity to "steal II
bite" hurredly at any time of the day,
speaking tiguratively ut least, If not lit
orally.
Another variety Of soda drinker is
the business woman who prefers Il
luncheon dessert In the form OF a cool.
Ing drink rather than the stereotyped
styles of pastry usually found in the
restaurant. In the winter time the de-
mand is for hot drinks, such as choco-
late, coffee, tea, or whatever may please
the taste Of the customer.
The soda fountain Is Il great draw.
ing card always for other departments
Of the drug store. 1t brings in scores
Of customers whose attention may be
often directed to other goods in the
shop, and In this respect it Is n great
advertisement for the regular lines of
the drug store, aside from it's own
money making possibilities.
The percentage Of profits which drug
gists make on their soda fountains is
subject that they naturally prefer to
keep to themselves, but it is easy
enough for novice to calculate that
there Is very little danger of loss in
the sale of soda fountain products,
whereas it would perhaps surprise peo-
pie to be told that the druggist or con-
fectioner Is more likely to double his
money than not on every glass of re-
freshment which lie serves. In fact, 1t
Is asserted that a soda fountain Is rare
ly known to fail as a money making en-
terprise. 1t Is bound to be a great sue
cess II 1t Is properly conducted and If
only Il little regard Is had for the COM
fort and tastes Of customers.

called to account for their mistake, re-
piled rather insolently that they had
been in the music publishing business a
long time, and had yet to discover the
difference between "Valse Impromp-
tn" and an "ImprOmptu Waltz" Would
DR.. Smith kindly state to them that
difference?
"Gentlemen," wrote the genial pro-
lessor. In answer, II have not, like
yourselves, been In the music publish
ing business, and am therefore not
fully qualified to inform you, but since,
In your extremity, you have appealed
to me, l would venture to suggest that
the difference between 'Valse I'M
promptu' and an Impromptu Waltz
may be similar to the difference be-
tween blind Venetian and a Venetian
blind.

Passengers Safely Landed

Honolulu, Sept. ia message re-
ceived here from Capt. Porter, of the
steamship Mongolia, says that the YES
sci is on the rocks and is in a bad po-
sition. Her passengers have been
safely landed on Midway island. 1t is
thought that steamers will be hurried
from this port with supplies and tackle
unless the Mongolia is quickly floated.
They will also bring away her passen-
gers. Midway is utterly lacking in
accommodations for many people, and
considerable hardship may result.
Midway island being so little above
sea level affords no protection from
any side from heavy seas. The posi-
ton of the Mongolia is not known
here, but storm coming from any d.
rection would affect her. Storms may
be expected soon.
The Mongolia had on board 200
cabin passengers and 500 Asiatics in
the steerage.
1t is stated that Capt. Metcalf, who
with Capt. Pillsbury succeeded in
floating the Manchuria, will take the
steamer Restorer to Midway for the
purpose of salving the Mongolia as
soon as he is able, with the tackle
used in saving the Manchuria.

turned to prevent the beans In those
pods resting on the ground from be-
coming damaged.
TO the foregoing In American Agri-
culturlst Professor J. L. Stone adds
that wet weather does not injure the
crop seriusly provided the beans are
not allowed to rest on the wet ground
long at time, but the frequent turn
ing necessary to prevent them from in

When dried they are stored in barns
like hay and may be thrashed Mt con-
venlence. The thrashing Is done by
specially constructed machines much
like the ordinary grain thrasher. Some
growers prefer to thrash with the old
fashioned fail, claiming that the saw
ing in beans that otherwise would be
split compensates for the slower work.

SUMMER CkTARRH
Hot Weather Seems 10 Have Bad
Effect Upon Some People

II is generally recognized by ply
sicians that many people suffer more
with catarrh during the summer than
in the winter. The hot, dry weather
and the change from the hot days to
cool nights seems to have bad effect
upon the disease.
Even after the usual methods OF
treating catarrh have been unsuccess-
full, VIM L. Gokay guarantees that he
will refund the money il lIyomei fails
to cure the disease This seems so fair
and reasonable tina: it should induce
all catarrh sufferers to take the treat
ment.
In many instances Hyomei has cur
ed catarrh when the patient has suffer-
ed since childhood. Quite a number
of people in Bennington who for years
have been unable to get good nights
sleep on account of the disagreeable
tickling and dropping at the back OF
the throat, have obtained quick relief
from few treatments OF Hyomei and
the continued use has made complete
and lasting cure.
There is no stomach dosing when one
uses Hyomei. Simply breathe its med
icated air through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit and all
oerms will he killed and the mucous
membrane will be healed.
The complete outfit costs Sl.OO, extra
bottles SOC. Remember that if Hyom-
Ell does not cure, VIM L .Gokay will
return your money.

THEY FIND IN URIC-0
APERMANENT CURE.
Rheumatic Sufferers Rejoice in Receiving Such
Splendid Results From Urie-0


II convention could be held Of all
the Rheumatic sufferers who have been
cured completely by the use of Uric-O,
there would be such a rejoicing as to
convince every skeptic that there has
at last been found the true fountain"
OF health, yet this would be decided
error, for Uric-O is not "A "cure all, "
but simply cure for Rheumatism and
Rheumatism only.
Every sufferer from Rheumatism
who wants to be rid of the sleepless
nights, the nerve binding, muscle
twisting hours of pain, should lay
aside ali other forms Of treatment, get
a bottle OF Uric-O and start rejoicing
on his way TO health. 1t matters little
how long one has suffered from the
trouble nor how intense the suffering,
Uric-O will cure it. Cure it complete
ly, cure it permanently and cure it TO
stay cured. Muscular, Articular and In
hammatory rheumatism yield at once
to this mighty healing agent. Drug
gists and physicians everywhere are
gladly recommending Uric 0 for Rheu
matism because they know its wonder
full curative properties cannot be ex
aggerated.
Uric-O acts directly upon the blood,
muscles and kidneys. It neutralizes
the uric and rheumatic acid poison,
and drives it from the blood.
The store of b. A. Quinlan is the
"Home of Uric-O" in Bennington and
he sells and guarantees it for Toe and
81. 90 bottle. We know you can be
cured by Uric-O and If you only try
one bottle you will thank MS from the
bottom of your heart for having made
you acquainted with this marvellous
remedy. Don't delay. Don't put it
off. Try it and try it today. Ask Mr.
Quinlan about it and learn from him
the many cures Uric-O has effected
right here in your own town. If you
desire, you can test and try it free OF
charge by sending your name and adj
dress to the Smith DRUG Co Syracuse
N. Y and asking for a sample free.
