If there are still any sufferers from Rheu-
matism in this county OF wherever this paper
reaches, that have not yet tried the wonderful

that there is not a case of Rheumatism in the
world that will not yield to the wonderful

Co, Syracuse, n. Y, and they will send you
by return mail liberal trial package free of
all expense. There is no reservation to this
offer. You take the remedy home and use
it according to directions until thoroughly sat-
sfed of its merit
We could not afford to do this if we did
not know that after you are freed from this
dreaded disease that you will recommend it to
all your friends who have rheumatism We
know from experience that personal recon-
mendation from one person to another is the
most valuable advertising, and that is the way
we intend to acquant the world with Urc.O

soon expire, and then it will be to late. Do
it today and start yourself upon the highway

Representative D. j. Foster.

The distinction won by Senator Dill
bingham in the United States Senate
has "A close parallel in the advancement
made by Representative David j. Foster
of the first Vermont congressional dis
trict in the lower branch of Congress
Entering Congress at about the same
time AS the junior senator, Representa-
tive Foster early displayed marked quail
ifications for a national legislator and
each session has found him steadily adj
vancing in public favor and usefulness.
During the session of Congress Just
closed Mr.. Foster was easily among the
young leaders of the House. He is one
of the half dozen members whom Speak
er Cannon has been in the habit of call
ing TO the chair when the important
appropriation bills were under consider
alton. He presided when the agricul.
tural appropriation bill was under con-
sideration and to his credit did all in the
power of "A chairman to cut out the free
seed nuisance.
Mr., Foster was active, not only in his
responsible committees but also on the
floor of the House. His speech on the
treaty making power OF the government
was the first presentation of the propO-
sition in the House and attracted wide
attention throughout the country. The
views laid down by Mr.. Foster in his re-
marks on that occasion were adopted
by President Roosevelt in his settlement
of the Japanese question in San Francis
co.
Senator Proctors amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill increasing
the sum granted agricultural colleges,
was strongly opposed in the House, led
by tie chairman of the committe on
agriculture. Mr. Foster was one of the
strongest and most active supporters of
the amendment, which was finally car
ried, and he was credited at the time
with having saved this worthy measure.
There were other propositions of dis
tinct value to the country and to New
England in particular which had Mr..
Fosters active Attention on the floor of
the House during the recent session,
but the above sufficiently shows the
| strong influence and standing gained by
the member of the first district, in the
House, and cannot fail to be gratifying
to any one having the best interests of
the State at heart.
| Mr.. Fosters ability as an orator has
also made strong demands upon his
time. The most notable addresses deliv-
cred by him the past winter were per
haps the one at the annual banquet of
the Loyal Legion at Washington and the
one before the Union League of Phila-
delphia on Lincolns birthday NORTH
