EASY TO MIX 1T.
Hundreds of People in Vicinity
Here will Welcome This Ad-
vice, Says Local Drug
QISt.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, which is said to be a
positive remedy for backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in "a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime.
A well known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription.
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less, and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy.
or the mixture would be put up if asked
to do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic Affections with splendid re.
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and backache,
as it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most inn
portant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving it
a trial

Paid by the Rich.

The fact that by far the larger portion
of the customs revenue collected by the
Government comes from Tariff duties on
luxuries imported for the use and enjoy
ment of those who can afford them,
while the proportion of Tariff revenue
derived from imports of so called "neces-
sites is relatively small, is indisputably
demonstrated in an article contributed
by the Washington correspondent of the
American Economist. Mr.. Dodge's pre-
sentiment, the result of careful and con-
sclentious examination of official Stats
tics, furnishes CONCLUSIVE answer to the
Free-Trade contention that a Protective
Tariff bears with especial severity upon
the common people" 1t proves pre-
cisely the contrary. 1t is the well TODD
people, the greatly rich and the moder-
ately rich, who pay the great bulk of the
Tariff. They pay it justly, for it is solely
a matter of choice that they purchase
the higher grades of articles manufac-
tured abroad, instead of the equivalent
of those articles produced at home.
Upon these imported articles the highest
rates of duty are levied and the greater
portion of the gross sum of customs rev.
enue is collected. 1t is exactly as it
should be. Such a Tariff is not easily
improved upon.-American Economist.

Plurality Votes, Etc.

Middlebury's representative, Allan Cal
houn, ST., is up in the vanguard over at
Montpelier. He has moved that plu-
rality vote shall elect after the first bal
lot. Of course it is meet and just that
Middlebury's man, of all men, should be
the one to introduce this particular bill.
In re Mr.. Calhoun, the Burlington
Clipper perpetrates the annexed: "The
member from Mlddlebury had the salts
faction of finding his name in bronze let
tiers on his arrival at the state house.
One of the big boilers used for heating
the capitol bears on its front in bronze let
tiers the inscription, "A. Calhoun, Middle
bury Mr.. Calhoun is the son of veteran
Democrat of Vergennes but has wandered
from his fathers political path" Mr..
Thayer of The Clipper has certainly got
matters mixed amazingly. Our repre-
sentative, Allan Calhoun, ST., has for his
oldest son Allan T.-as loyal Democrat
as has been raised hereabouts. He cast
his first vote with that party in 1885, and
has been doing the same stunt as many
times as the authorities would allow ever
since, being the present able chairman of
the local town committee. Though the
House of Calhoun, politically, is divided
against itself, it seems in no imminent
danger of falling yet awhile.

THOUSANDS CRIPPLED WITH
RHEUMATISM
Find in Urie-o a Real Cure.

If rheumatism continues to spread as
it has in the past few years. it would
seem as though we would before long
become nation of cripples. The terrible
destructiveness of this disease is appar-
ent on every side of us. Almost nine
out of ten of the cripples one meets had
their atilictlon brought or by Rheuma-
tism. If you ever have any twinges of
rheumatism. go to the druggist and get
a bottle of Uric o, the wonderful new
Rheumatic Specific. 1t will cure you
and it is the only treatment in the world
that will cure you permanently and
thoroughly, Urico-O by its direct action
ON the muscles, blood and kidneys, seeks
out the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic
Acid and drives it from the system.
Liniments and plasters never cure Rheu-
matlsm, because it is primarily blood.
disease, and until the blood is cleared
from the poison cure cannot take place.
Urico,O is sold by druggists at Zoe. and
$l.OO bottle. You can obtain liberal
sample by applying to the Smith Drug
Co, 81 Smith Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y.

Possibilities in the South.

When the National Conservation COM
mission meets at Washington in the fore
part of December it is expected that at
least a thousand business men of the
South will be in the Capital city. These
men are organized under the name of
the Southern Commercial Association,
and have planned their dates 80 as to be
in the city at the time of the meeting of
the National commission, as we'll as that
of the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress. While the stated purpose of the
Southern association is for business rea-
sons, there is no doubt but that these
meetings will serve to bring the North
and South to closer union than has
ever existed.
Welcome as this news is. the satisfac-
ton created may be further increased by
perusal of recent report of the Geo
logical survey, which states that at least
2,SOO,000 horsepower is developed by the
rivers having their source in the South
ern Appalachian mountains, half of
which could be used for power. Experts
state that this enormous horsepower
could be increased from three to thirty
times by the full development of storage
facilities. 1t is clear that the South, no
less than other sections of our vast coun-
try, can and will develop splendidly I'M
der the touch of an enlightened public
policy.
