II people would only properly fortify

simply the result of weakness, which
produces q catarrhal condition of the

weakened, it becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the sys'

set up soreness which produce what ID
in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
medication which is absorbed and car.

membrane is disinfected, cleaned, sooth
ed and healed.
We have remedy which we honestly
believe infallible and indispensable fol-

and all catarrhal conditions. It is the
prescription of famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation of 80 years Of

medicine. we promise 10 either erect .

to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.

A Good Election Days Work.

The result of last Tuesdays national
election was Just what all reliable fore
casts indicated, but il is nevertheless de-
cidsdly pleasing to have the forecast
made fact.
The country should congratulate itself
on the result, and indeed, is doing so.
Bryan, it would seem, should be finally
removed from the list of presidential
possibilities by this third overwhelming
defeat. On the other hand, the country
has elected a president of whom, from
any point of view, every citizen may be
proud. No man ever had better train
ing for the presidency than William H.
Taft, and no man has ever had so long q
service in so many lines of governmental
activity, without having something In
his record to be criticised. Yet even
in the stress Of political campaign nc
material criticism has been directed
against his record.
Second only to the choice of president
in Importance and interest is the con-
test in New York state, where Governor
Hughes has won ont against the forces
of the Democratic party, the antsgonism
of the race track gamblers and other
ctH-uOcIs, duu q ohAOuk uPPoSitiou ih his
own party. His election is a great
triumph for civic righteousness.
In congress the Republicans will have
a good working majority in the house,
though less than that in the present
house, and the senate will remain strong
ly Republican, though Democratic sen
ators will be elected in several states by
legislatures chosen last Tuesday.
One feature of the result that it will
not do to ignore is the fact that in q
number of northern states which CAV,
Taft good majority, and which have
generally been reckoned as Republican
in recent years, Democratic governor
and other state officers were chosen, anC
In some of them Democrat legislatures
There are enough of these so that the!
can not escape notice. Whatever th'
explanation of this condition, its sig
nifcance should not be lost sight of il
the general satisfaction over the result
of the presidential vote.

A GOOD STOMACH
MEANS GOOD HEALTH, CHEERFULNEss,
AMBITION, PERsIsTENcY AND SUCCESS.

Mona will cure your dyspepsia OF
any other stomach trouble by building
up the flabby walls, and making the
stomach so strong that it will digest
food without pepsin or other artificial
aid.
In other words, Mi-o-na cures dyspep-
sia by removing the cause.
I F. A. Shurtleff & Co. are the agents
for Mona in South Paris and they say
to every reader of the Democrat, whose
stomach is weak, who has indigestion or
dyspepsia, that Mio-na is guaranteed to
cure or money back.
The price is only so cents a large box,
and one box is all you need to prove that
you are on the right road to health and
happiness.

Here and There.

The Boston Herald has abolished the
"comic" colored supplement of it's Sun
day edition, and is patting itself on the
back quite industriously, and accepting
the pats of its contemporaries, as having
taken distinct step in advance. And
yet the alleged comic supplement has
added TO the enjoyment of the "peepui,
at the same time that It has debauched
and debased their taste to a serious ex'
tent. IL the whole brood could be done
away, the gayety of the nation would b'
reduced while its standard of taste was
elevated. Perhaps now the Herald will
embark on crusade against the green
haired Irishman, the presentin-all-place'
tramp, and the whole lot of unspeakabl,
caricstures which now furnish so much
amusement and are apparently the high
est expression of art on "the stage"
