The game of getting after the
railroads" seems to have met a wide
popular demand for a new form of
recreation. However, it is not PLAYED
like football. The idea of whenever
you see railroad, hit it somewhere
and in some way may entertain
certain class, but ii should be played
with some method and aim for good
results. Indiscriminate swating, sim
ply because the swatee is railroad is
in essence only senseless anarchy.
There are things which railroad
should do and should be made to do,
however, right here in Vermont Every
railroad in this or any other state
should be compelled TO maintain
clearly, sanitary, and decent station
premises. II the station agent is not
given time and means to maintain
proper conditions by the corporation
which he serves the legislature should
take a hand and compel the road to
effect the reform in the interests of
health and common decency. Another
thing. The railroads provide smoking
cars for tabacco users AS rule,
these are made disgusting sinks of
filth by degenerate brute humanity
withoue let or hindrance. After a
smoking car has run ten miles on a
Vermont railroad, 1t is absolutely unfit
for human or even bestial occupancy.
The company might easily install a
small cuspidore through the floor I'M
der the window at the end of each
seat for the reception of all saliva and
| ashes. and the train officials should
insist on the invariable use of such
receptacle. Provide the stationary
cuspidore and compel its use. This is
the only visible remedy, but an en-
tirely feasible one, for what is now
beastly and unbearable condition.
| lndiscriminate railroad batting is one
thing. To compel railroad-which
ought not to be necessary-to provide
decent and sanitary facilities to the
public is another Let the next leg.

Are You Interested in Livestock

When the New York Tribune Associ-
alton six years ago decided to estab-
lish the New-York Tribune Farmer,
non-political national journal, to be
devoted to every branch of agricul-
ture and other interests of the farmer
and his family in every part of the
country, men of the highest authority
in every branch of farm work and
farm experience were consulted as to
writer's whose service it would be
most desirable to secure.
When the late Dr. J. C. Currier, of
Minnesota, the author of Horse
Sense" was asked to name the best
writer's on horses and on veterinary
practice he named only one: DIR. c.
d. Smead, living in Logan, n. Y, is
just the one you want.-if you can get
him." Dr. Curriers' opinion proved
his as good a judge of men as of
horses.
DR.. Smead undertook the work Of
answering not only veterinary quest
ions, but all reasonable queries in re-
gard to the breeding, the care and the
feeding of all domestic animals he
taught how to keep them we'll and
that beasts seldom need medicine If
properly looked after. Not the quest
toner's alone proflted by DR.. Smeads
department, the value of which re-
ceived immediate and extended recog-
milton. There is good reason for this.
DR.. Smead didn't take up his pro-
fession as an easy way of earning
living. He has been a practical far
mer and livestock breeder from his
youth. He loves animals and is un.
happy when they suffer or fail in
health, so many years ago he decided
to learn how to care for and cure
them; he dropped work, took course
and became doctor himself-not for
the money he might earn, but for the
sake of the neglected and suffering

The November Smart Set

"Knee-Deep in June" is the title of
the novelette, which opens the Novem-
Der Smart Set. II Is written by Flea
nor Hoyt Brainerd who can tell as
bright and fascinating a story as any
living writer. This novelette, is by
far the most delightful thing Mrs,
Brainerd has yet done. The story
moves with a dash and buoypancy
quite irresistible.
THE Wonderful Lady" by Henry
Sydnor Harrison, is short story that
hinges on a most diverting situation.
1t is seldom that a magazine is able to
secure so delightful piece of humor.
In "A Glass Mountain van Tassel
Sutphen writes a charming love-story;
THE Woman Dawson Met" by Edwin
l.. Sabin. is an amazing tale of a wo.
man anarchist; THE Ota Jug" by
Austin Adams, is a splendid Japanese
love-story; Kings X" by Juliet Will
Dor Tompkins, is one of that favorite
authors rollicking tales; "A Recon
Citation" by Stephen Gwynn, is
powerful love-story, so unerring in its
psychology that it can be read again
and again; and "The Wanderer," by
Katharine Metcalf Roof, is delicious
bit of humorous dialogue.
The essay is from the pen of Bliss
Carman, who writes of THE Might of
Manners" Mr. Carman always has
message and he always delivers it in
the most musical language, whether
writing in prose or in verse.
An important new feature Of this
issue of The Smart Set is the dra-
matte department by Claiming Pol
lock In his entertaining way Mr..
Pollock reviews the best plays that
have been produced both in this
country and abroad during the last
few months, and his article will be
read with the greatest interest.
The poetry is exceedingly above the
average, and comes from such writer's
as Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Elsa Barker.

both of whom had eczema. Both OF
them are nearly cured and Mr. Rank
has used only seven bottles. 1t Is a

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU HAD IT

Kidney disease may develop sud
denly and become fatal In few weeks
but this rare. 1t usually appears
with mild symptoms, although as the
kidneys are not sensitive it may have
been developing for months--even
years Ii is usually durable the first
few weeks-in fact, 1t often gets well
of itself But if it has been long
enough in the system to have become
chronic (fastened) the books then de-
clare it to be incurable. Right here
is the crucial question: Siz., how long
have you hod it? If it has been in the
system for some months, there is only
one thing known that will reach 1t and
we have sent for it. 1t differs from all
kidney treatments in this tremen-
dously important point--it is the only
one that reduces Inflammation and
corrects the kidney function after
1t has become chronic, as well as be-
fore. AS there Is no sharp dividing
line marking the time when the trou-
Bile changes to the chronic form isn't 1t
as clear as MONDAY that thoughtful
people with kidney disease should take
at once the only known specific that
reaches it in all stages?
The annual deaths are over $4,000
10 per day. These census figures
show how appallingly serious and
prevalent this thing is getting to be
that is innocently referred to in the
homes as kidney trouble"

right. Call and let US tell you how
chronic kidney disease has been
brought under control. B. A. Quinlan
