THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MELhS Death

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fy. When It
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night. tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet. hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short OF letting the tsetss
fly bite US we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent It? Mr.. George Hayes. OF
Union City, Pa, writes: 81 had lost
my appetite. was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. l had tried every
thing without relief vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, It
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, it win
DO for every rundown. nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

While il is one of the duties of the
president to recommend to the consid-
Grafton of Congress such measures as
he shall judge necessary and expedi-
ent, il is a remarkable fact that the
measures that have most distinguished
the Roosevelt administrator have not
been subjects for legislation, and CON
sequently Congress has had no part
in them. The ending of the terrible
war between Russia and Japan and
the restoration Of peace between
those great nations were brought
about by Roosevelt's personal power
alone, and the same is true OF his ac-
ton in the great coal strike and the
promotion of international arbitra-
tion-the three most notable acts of
his administration. Congress can
take no credit for the prosecution of
the Standard Oil company and other
great trusts, and of private persons
and corporations for timber and
land frauds. These have been execu-
tive acts, carried on through the office
of the attorney general 1t was the
president and not congress who inter
fered with legislation in California,

Two Sides to the Question

A good deal has been said recently
about change of law so that a mem.
Der of a Legislature would be ineligible
to an office created by that legisla
ture on the ground that many times
the possibility of the selection of the
best men who could generally win out
over an outsider" This may be true
and yet there are two sides to the
question when il comes to changing
the law. Public sentiment should al
ways be against the practice of an
ambitious legislator making, or being
instrumental in having made, an Office
designed to fit his own person but
when 1t comes to enacting a law to
prevent any such case, has It ever oc-
CURED to anyone that the law might
prevent the very thing 1t purposes to
accomplish. For instance, supposing
there should be an office created by
the legislature some time for which
there was one man eminently qualified
and that man should be a member of
the General Assembly? He would be
barred out because he was a member.
That time might come some day 1t
will be remembered that Taft thought
there was no man for secretary OF
state In his cabinet but Senator Knox
and he came very netar being ineligi-
bic on account of clause in the con
stitution. This shows that the time
might come.
In view of the abuse that has been
heaped upon propriety by the many
members taking advantage of the fact
that there has not been any law to
check them in their mad desire for
office by any means within the law il
might be that public sentiment is not
strong enough to stop the uncommon
dable custom without law which
however dangerous, might be more
productive of good than possible harm.
A good many other things can be
compared which are similar to this
question in some respects. For i'm.
stance, while the practice of promot-
ing the acknowledgements having a
tendency as 1t does to make necessary
the naming of governors four years
early, may not be a good one there
should be no law to prevent a man, II
the case should arise when he was
needed, to be named for governor even
though he were lieutenant governor.
The Sunday blue laws are not enforc.
ed and many are of the belief they
should be stricken from the statutes
but there have been enough thus far
who believe they might be used II
there should be an extreme case or
outbreak Of Sabbath breaking to keep
them intact. This last illustration
shows its similarity in the fact that
the law should meet the needs of ex.
IRENE cases and public sentiment
keep the general practices healthy
and well alanced.-Montpelier Jour

Middlebury, March 12-Interest in
the contest to break the will of HUI.
dab Brevoort DIN, the case begun the
first of the week in Addison county
court continues. The testimony of
Rev. Mary McKinstrey, the principal
beneficiary, has been one of the feat.
ures Of the case Mrs. McKinstrey
testified that she is a regularly ordain.
ed minister of the Advent Christian
church, lived at Richford and is ca
years OF age. She said that she
preached at the Advent church in Adj
olson, closing her work there in 1871
Mrs. Olin attended the services very
often and she saw Mrs. Olin several
times after she left Addison. Mrs.
Olin once wrote her enclosing 81 with
the letter.
Susan b. Brown, who worked at the
Ohm home, was one of the witnesses
who testified that she believed Mrs.
DIN of sound mind. She signed Mrs
Olin's will. Mrs. II. H. Stickler ties.
titled that Mrs. Olin was very relig.
ious and took deep interest in the
affairs Of the Advent church at Add
son II. II. Stickler said Mrs. Olin
was a frequent visitor at his home
and he considered her mind sound.
Rev. A. c. Johnson, pastor of the
Advent church at Hartford, Ct, tes.
titled that he held meetings in Adds
on county in 1908, staying at Mrs.
Olin's home. He found her very rel
igious and letters written by the wom-
an in 1901 showed that she believed in
the second coming of the Christ.

WON'T PAY sEMI.MoNrHLY
Railroads Not to Obey Law Until
Higher Courts Give Opinion.

Albany, March 12.-Attorneys rep
resenting railroads who are appear
ing at the hearings before the Codes
Committees declared that the compan-
les they represented have no inten-
ton OF living up to the law making it
incumbent upon them to pay the
wages of their employees in semi
monthly installments until after the
higher courts shall have passed upon
the constitutionality OF the act. At
present wages are paid monthly.
Ex-Judge f. w. Thompson, repre-
senting the Lackawanna Railroad de-
clared that in three States where
similar laws have been passed, the
highest courts have declared them
unconstitutional and that for this rea-
son presumably the New York courts
would take similar action. He also
declared that large number of rail
road employees were opposed to a
change.

Roosevelt.

Mr.. Cleveland retired from the pres
idency abandoned by his party, in and
out of Congress, because of his depar-
ture from some of the Democratic ira
ditions and especially for his adher-
ence to the sound money doctrine, IN
which he was in practical accord with
the Republicans. Mr.. Roosevelt has
retired from office believed in and be-
loved by the people of both parties as
no other president has been save
Washington and Lincoln. The Chic
ago convention would have voiced the
sentiment of the people IL It had again
made him the candidate of his party,
and nothing but the absolute refusal
to accept the nomination prevented
the convention being carried for him
as by a tornado.
But popular Mr. Roosevelt has been
and is with the people he has been in
disfavor with Congress especially dur.
ing the last two or three years of his
administration. With some members
of the Senate and the House dislike
has been intensified into hatred. Some
of the speeches delivered against him
were so abusive and couched I'm such
vulgar terms that they were struck
from the records. Some speakers
were stopped and not allowed to pro
coed Part of this abuse was heaped
upon the president for political effect /;
part, because of his attacks upon
trusts, and part, apparently, because
the speakers unacquainted with the
language of gentlemen. All kinds of
men make their way into Congress.

manner has often been aggressive and
