Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep

mony to prove it.
Mrs. George Birch, trained nurse. of
% Washington ST., Brattleboro, VT,
says: For five years I was subject to
acute attacks of lameness across my
kidneys and a gnawing pain in my loins,
accompanied by distress in my head and
dizziness. At frequent intervals there
was tired feeling which made it hard
for me to be on my feet for any length
of time or to do even ordinary house
work. The kidney secretions were high
ly colored and contained brick dust
sediment. I was advised to use Doan 8
Kidney Pills, sold by F. H. Holden,
and getting box began to use them.
They did exactly as represented. The
aching and lameness in my back disap-
peared and the languor which had op-
pressed me ceased with the headache.

Municipal Ownership.
bradford Opinion)

Municipal ownership while it works
out beautifully on paper, it does not
always work out as well in practical
test. Easton Pa, after eighteen years
with municipal lighting plant, has
about decided to return to a private
corporation for lighting. The belief
is that too much politics is mixed up in
the scheme, that the plant cannot be run
as economically with men who get their
positions through political pulls as by
men whose engineering and electrical
skill enables them to thoroughly know
the business. Men who are employed
now would not be accepted were the
plant under a private management,
since it would then be run to make
money and no one without knowledge
of the business would be tolerated.

Our Grand Old Man.

Hale and hearty at "a, taking an
active part in the business and phil
anthropy to which his life has been
largely devoted mingling in So
cial way with his townspeople--
such is the remarkable record OF ex,
Governor Frederick Holbrook OF
Brattlebor0.
The Bellows Falls Times tells the
story: "The two official positions in
which Ex-Governor Frederick hol-
brook delights more than in any Others
are his offices as president of the Yer.
mont savings bank in Brattleboro, and
chairman of the board of trustees or
the Brattleboro retreat. Although
nearly "a years old, he rides out every
pleasant day, and as he presided at the
annual bank meeting last week those
present were pleased to note that he
appeared in better health than he did
a year ago. "
All Vermont will wish Ex-Governor
Holbrook added years of useful and
honorable life.

Massachusetts like Vermont is hav-
ing to consider the deer damage ques-
ton. Franklin county farmers have petit
toned the legislature for bill giving
them the right to kill deer caught des-
troying crops. The petitioners allege
that "deer have become so plentiful
in certain sections of the commonwealth
as to become menace to agriculture,
making impossible the setting and grow
ing of fruit trees and of many vegeta-
BILE and fruit crops" 1t will be in
teresting to see how the Massachusetts
legislature handles this problem. In
Vermont law was passed providing
for the payment by the state of damage
done by deer, but the measure offers
little encouragement to the fruit grower
whose young trees are destroyed almost
as soon as they are set out.

The Foraker resolution for an inves-
tigation of the negro troops episode at
Brownsville, Texas, was adopted in the
senate Tuesday afternoon, and the
threatened split among the republican
senators was thereby averted. Every
body seems satisfied with the final
agreement of the senate upon the form
of the Brownsville resolution. Senator
Foraker will get his investigation,
something of which the country was in
favor generally, while the president
and his friends have assurance that the
inquiry is ordered without questioning
the legality or justice of any act of the
president in relation thereto. The res,
olution, however, does not affirm the
justice or legality of the presidents
actions as many believe that this ques.
ton is not one for the senate to deter
mine. The democratic senators tried in
vain Tuesday afternoon to break the
republican phalanx, offering two sub
stitute resolutions directly indorsing
the presidents Brownsville action
both of which were voted down.

ed in American Agency Bulletin:
When you go home, after you have

from your pocket a key, probably made
in Connecticut. After you have found
the keyhole you will put that key in a
lock, probably made in Connecticut, be-
cause we make so per cent. of the build
ers' hardware used in the United States.
You will hang up your hat on a hook
that was probably made in Connecticut.
Your house was probably built with
tools that were made in Connecticut be-
cause we make 65 per cent. of all the
carpenters tools in the country. The
cutlery you use at your dinner table was
probably made in Connecticut, because
two-thirds of all the cutlery in the
country is made in our state. Then you
lie down to rest on a brass bed that was
probably made in Connecticut, because
IS per cent. of the brass beds in the
country are made in the Naugatuck val.
ley You will sleep on wire mattress
probably made in our state, because 70
per cent. of all such mattresses are made
there. And so it is, from the cradle to
the grave, you almost daily use the prod
lcts of our state. At last, when you are
laid to rest, you will occupy coffin
which in part, at least, came from Con
