 .T do not wish to place myself in the light of criticising MT. Lilley, for the committee and all of it's members are as friendly to him as to any other mem- Der of the House; but I will say that If MT. Lilley now proposes to step aside and no longer cooperate with the com mittee the investigation of the charges he has made will go on nevertheless. These charges involve the honor and dignity of the whole House and they will be sfted to the bottom with his aid or without.

 'Mr. Lilley in his sworn statement to the committee Thursday retracted practi- cally everything he had said before the committee on rules.

FRENCH ACADEMY
 REFUSES REQUEST
FRENCH WOMAN, WHO DIED IN NEW YORK, LEAVES MONEY TO UPLIFT THE MORAL TONE OF FRANCE.

Paris March 13.-The French academy today decided to refuse the S20000 be- quest to it by Madame Louise H. Le- clerc, who died in New York, February 25, 1907. to be used according to the terms of her will in raising the moral tone of France The academy decided that the acceptance of this fund would be tan tamount of promulgating the opinion of the testatrix, who regarded her native country as a sink of iniquity.
 Miss Louise H. Leclerc's will was filed in Minneapolis in December. She left the greater part of her fortune to French institutions for the purpose of raising France from her present low moral state Miss Leclerc, who was in her S3d year at the time of her death, was the daugh- ter of one of the young guards of Ma poleon. She came to the United States about 50 years ago. She was known in this country as private teacher and in all her work she deprecated the mod ern French novel and its effect on the morals of the people.

Investigating committee. he declared with corruption of any member of the House, nor did he propose to make such a charge. He told the rules committee that it would not be surprising to find some dishonest persons in a membership so large as that of the House of Repre- sentatives and he spoke of the neces- sity of weeding out "scabies and rot which moral disease existed in the House. Those were very strong words, very viz orous expressions. They do not seem to have been backed up by MT. Lilley in that part of his sworn statement to the Investigating committee In which he specifically disavowed any charge of cor ruption against his colleagues in the House.
 "Inasmuch as MT. Lilley in his sworn charges averred that the government had already paid to the Electric Boat com pany $1.000,000 more than that concern was entitled to and that the proposed expenditures in pending appropriations for ten more submarines contemplate a sum of wrongful profit of about s1,0oo,cOo for that company, the inference is very strong that in the mind of MT. Lilley, at least there is much that should be ex- plained by the members of the committee on naval affairs, the Secretary of the Navy and the members of last years sub marine board It will be highly proper to request those gentlemen to appear before the committee and bring their rec ords and testify It will not be nee. essary to issue subpoenas for them."

A Book Free

Only a few people know why
teeth decay, loosen and fall out.
1t is a subject that deserves
close study.
We have written a book which
goes into the subject of teeth i'll
general-but the particular OBJ
ject we had in writing this book
was to tell about the REX AL
VEOLAR Method of supplying
missing teeth without the aid of
plates and bridge work.
When we first began to adj
vertise this REX ALVEOLAR
Method people were incredulous.
They failed to see how the work
could be done. 1t meant revo-
luton of existing methods. Den
fists said it couldn't be done. But
thousands of men and women
throughout the country will
gladly testify that it CAN be
done, and in their cases HAS
BEEN DONE.
They used to say Pyorrhea
Riggs Disease) was incurable,
but we have been curing it right
along and making loose teeth
tight and firm in the gums.
Dentists and laymen have had
to acknowledge that there was no
use going behind the returns
THERE WERE TOO MANY
PEOPLE READY TO TESTI-
Fly IN FAVOR OF OUR
METHOD.
Most of our patients come to
us through reading this book.
We want to send it to you if you
have teeth troubles of any kind,
and particularly if you are wear
ing a partial plate or so-called
bridge" work.
The REX ALVEOLAR teeth
do away with plate or bridge,
work. =
All we ask is two or more
teeth in either jaw-don't ask
that they be firm in the gums
we will fix that.

Stuck

A magazine editor of New York was
praising Rudyard Kipling.
81 am glad Kipling got the Nobel
prize" he said. 1T will encourage him.
He is in a bad way now.
"You know, he is writing scarcely
anything. / thought he was idle, lazy,
and In London last year l took him to
task. He said he knew he looked idle,
but in reality he was trying hard to
work. only he was stuck.
HE said he resembled man who
made a bet one summer day at the
shore that he would swim out a mile
and a half to a certain buoy The bet
was accepted, the man stripped and
plunged in. His friend retired to the
hotel to watch his progress from the
window
From the window with field glass
the friend saw the swimmer reach the
buoy in due course, draw himself up
out of the water and sit down COM
fortably, with his legs dangling over
So far, so good Evidentls he was rest
ing, we'll pleased with his feat
"Some minutes passed. and the swim
mer had not moved. The watcher re-
turned to his book. But every now
and then he looked up and still the
swimmer sat in the Same position on
the buoy.
IAN hour, two hours went by-still
the swimmer remained. A white, slim
figure seen against the oncoming dark,
he sat on the buoy's edge; his feet
dangled in the sea; he seemed to be
musing.
"Finally 1t began to grow quite dark,
and, thoroughly alarmed at last, the
watcher got a boat and a couple of
bargees and rowed out to his friend.
"Out there the mystery was soon
explained. The man was stuck fast to
the buoy, whici had been freshly
tarred that morning" - New York

TELLS PROPER WAY
TO ADVERTISE A STATE
Work of California Promotion Conn
mlttee Praised b. Well Known
Boston Newspaper
Publisher

When General c. H. Taylor, publish
er of the Boston Daily Globe, was re-
Gently in San Francisco he had occasion
to learn much about local institutions,
and since his return to Boston he has
had many good words to say about San
Francisco. The editorial appearing in
the Boston Daily Globe April 1, 1908,
headed How to Advertise State" has
the following to say about the Califor-
mia promotion committee:
"The California promotion committee,
composed of San Francisco business
men, has illustrated in a brilliant man
ner the proper way to advertise state,
way the forty-flve other states of the
Union might copy with profit This
committee is maintained entirely by
voluntary contributions of its members,
but no member seeks any individual
emolument, the object of all being the
upbuilding of California.
Itself state central organization 1t
has affiliated with it 1870 local organiZa-
tions, has established a bureau at 8
East Twenty-third street, New York,
and gives to the world reports on the
commercial and industrial conditions
of California. These reports are neither
optimistic nor pessimistic; they are
simply accurate, their accuracy being
recognized by the federal government,
which makes frequent calls upon the
committee for information, and also
seeks it's assistance when making in
vestigations. Recently when govern
ment engineers spent two weeks in San
Francisco on their river and harbor in
quiry hey were in constant touch with
the committee. At present inquirers for
information concerning California are
referred by all departments of the ma
tional government to the California
promotion committee. Foreign govern
ments also make use Of it and frequent
ly send to it for information. Publish
ers of encyclopedias and other books
regard it as one of their most authentic
sources of information on matters re-
lating to California.
Even this brief outline of the great
work being done by the business men
of San Francisco not only shows what
the committee is doing for its state,
but clearly indicates the lines in which
similar associations might be success
fully conducted In every other state.
Not only California, therefore, but the
whole Union is indebted to the Califor-
mia promotion committee"

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds.

II people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about 81
per cent. OF coughs, colds and pneumonia
might be avoided. These troubles are
simply the result OF weakness, which
produces a catarrhal condition OF the
mucous membrane, which is as an inter.
nal skin OF the body. When this skin
is weakened, IL becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These parasites
attack and break these delicate tissues
and set up soreness which produce
what is In reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia Is a
medication which Is absorbed and car
ried by the blood 50 that the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned, soothed
and healed.
We have remedy which we honestly
believe infallihle and indispensable for
the prevention and cure Of coughs, colds
and all catarrhal conditions. IL is the
prescription OF famous physician, who
has an enTable reputation of 80 years
of cures gained through the use Of this
medicine. We promise to either effect a
cure in every case or make no charge for
the medicine. We urge everybody in
Barre who has need Of such medicine
to try Rexall Mlcu-Tone.
II stands TO reason that we could not
afford TO make such statements and give
our own personal guarantee to this rem.
edy II we wero not absolutely positive
that we could substantiato our claim in
every particular, and we see no reason
why anyone should hesitate to accept
our offer and try It. We have two sizes
of Rexal AfucuTone. Prices SOC and

sufficient for cure. As general thing,
the most chronic case is cured with an
average OF three large bottles. Remem.

A standard.

The following statement appeared II
the editorial columns of a recent issue
Of 1.-THE Christian Work and Evangelist,
one of the oldest and most Important
religious publications in the country:
Added Years to His Life" The Chris
tian Work and Evangelist seldom speaks
Of curative or remedial agent, and foi
the reason that many of the so-called
remedies and preventatives are not what
they profess to be.
"There is one of the agencies. how.
ever, that we can recommend from our
own experience, and that is the almost
universally used remedy for pulmonary
omplaints-Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil.
while it is a pretty well established
fact that no known remedy will cure
cases of very long standing, where the
lungs have been largely or almost com
petely destroyed, vet while there is life
there is hope, and SCOTS Emulsion has
wrought many wonderful results. Mr.. La
Salla A. Maynard. the well known as
sistant editor OF this paper, had his life
prolonged several years by its use, and
there is every reason to believe that if
he had known of it in time and used
il earlier he would have entirely recOv-
cred.
Moreover, two brothers Of the writer
have experienced wonderful benefit from
its use, and where nothing else seemed
to reach their case. On this account,
and because we have thus become per
sonally acquainted with its effect as a
remedy for pulmonary diseases, we can
confidently recommend II 30 our readers
as one Of the very few Of the so-ealled
proprietary medicines that viii accom-
plish all that it processes. No imita-
tons Of this excellent medicine are its
equal, and therefore none SHOULD be
substituted for it"

A SCISSORS ARTIST.
The Wonderful Feats Performed by
jeanne koetren.


jeanne koetren.
More than 200 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child In that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport
but found her greatest delight In max
ING copies of things about her, imitat-
ing in wax every kind Of fruit and
making on silk with colored floss ex.
act copies Of paintings which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very ac-
complished In music, spinning and en-
broidery she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that OF
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and por.
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite
the wonder of Europe. She used white
papers for her cuttings, placing them
over black surface, 80 that the mi.
mute openings made by her scissors
formed the light and shade"
The car, Peter the Great, and others
of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for trophy she had cut, bear
Ing the arms of Emperor Leopold,
crowned with eagles and surrounded
by garland Of flowers, She also cut
the emperor's portrait, which can now
be seen in the Royal Art gallery in
Vienna. A great many people went to
see her, and she kept book in which
princes and princesses wrote their
names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her hus-
band, Adrian Block, erected monu-
ment to her memory and had designed
upon it the portraits Of these titled
visitors. Her cuttings were so cor
rect in effect and so tasteful as to
give both dignity and value to her
work and constitute her an artist
whose exquisite skill with tAe scissors
has never before or since been equaled.
