every man take off his hat to her;
but, for the Lords sake, girls, keep
out of politics; and, above all things,
if you have home, make it bright
and beautiful. Let no pleasure come

no ambition lure you from its door;
let it be the sun, around which two
hearts, at least, shall wheel in perfect
peace and harmony, blossoming in its
light, and making it complete plane

Go SLOW my dears, and take the ad-

cultivate the traits of character which
all true men adore. Modesty stands
first; gentleness, next; thoughtfulness
for the comfort and pleasure Of 9th

down the line. If you get chance,
study art and music; and while you
sweep the piano keys, don't forget to
learn how to sweep with the broom;
while you paint pictures, don't forget
to learn to make pies. Know We that
the roads to mans heart leads
through his stomach, and the path to
his soul leads through his eyes. If
you would reach both you must have
tidy rooms and an inviting table. If
you want to be loved land you do), be

Have all the fun you can. Giggle and
laugh as much as you please. Dance
and skip, and romp, and hop until
your heart goes "fippity flop," and
the blood eddies in your cheeks like
the roses that bloom in the spring

and dream, and wake and dream
again. Be happy now, for the clouds
of sorrow will lower some day, and
some day the troubles of real life will

Advice to Women
A Message From a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remove blackheads, crows feet and
other blemishes, through the use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be-
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from i'm.
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of the whole sys
tenn which finds it's expression in sal
low, muddy complexion, dark-circled
eyes, general weakness of the system.
and perhaps most plainly in the
weeping of mucous membranes that
is commonly called catarrh.
In fact, this whole tendency is, prop.
erly speaking, Catarrh. Danish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as If by magic, eyes will brighten,
faces become rosy and shoulders
erect. Perfect beauty goes only with
perfect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which will
cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Muco-Tone. Here is
her letter:
Il can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Muco-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. It's tonic effects
are remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Muco-Tone, they will
praise, as do, its strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Muco-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu.
cous cells-the congestion and in
fiammation Of which causes local ca.
tarrh. This remedy causes poison to
be expelled from the system, and the
blood is purified and revitalized.
Thus the natural functions of the mu-
cous cells are restored, and the mem.
branes are cleansed and made strong

relieve catarrh. We positively guar

1t is common for girls to link their
precious lives with good looks and

l drop these little hints in order to
warn our girls who have not yet EN-
barked in the heart business to first
know the truth before they admit the
spirit; for it is a sad, spectacle to see
a womans' heart become a pigpen, or
mule stall or the plaything of an
idiot. There is only one sadder scene
in this world, and that is where a
noble young man with splendid posi-
bilities wakes up and finds himself

heart at all, and has his pinions

The "old" woman is good enough for
me; but it matters not whether she is
old or new, if the little purple plane

If woman has thoughts, let them
fly; there is room enough in the intel

"What is Whiskeyw
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Dec. S.-President Taft
is putting in all spare time these days
struggling with the question, What
is whiskey?"
By succeeding appeals the question
has been carried through the food and
drink experts of the department of
agriculture, charged with the admins
tration of the pure food and drug act,
to the solicitors general of the United
States and to the president himself.
The printed evidence and the briefs
of the distinguished attorneys who
have appeared in the controversy form
a record equal to that of many OF the
cases which the supreme court of the
United States is called upon to deter
mine, and the president is living again
the life Of federal Judge when he
takes to his private library in the
evening the volumes of testimony and
argument which he peruses in the
hope OF reaching soon strictly legal
decision on the mooted question.
The whole controversy hinges on
the question of whether whiskey arti-
f1cially aged and highly rectified is
whiskey or imitation whiskey.

In Police Circles.

John Cook and George Menosh, who
were arrested in connection with the re-
cent robbery of L. H. Thornton's store
at West Barnet, were given a hearing
Friday before Justice J. E. Smith at that
place. They were bound up to the June
term of county court in $500 each. Be-
ing unable to furnish the bonds they
were committed to the county Jail.
At last some legal highbrow has dis
covered that the difference between the
price of supper and breakfast and the
cost OF committing tramps to the county
jail, plus SIS for a months keep in that
institution, is worth saving. The cost
for committing them is 5000, making
the whole bill for 80 days sentence
$21.99. Twelve hoboes have, during
the past week, been given their supper
and breakfast and then their transports
at a cost of so cents each. 1t is unnec-
essary to add that the new scheme ap-
peals to the taxpayer more than to the
tramp.
One party, who was arrested Thurs
day for intoxication, appeared before
Justice Worcester, Saturday, and settled
at the new rate of $1O.1O. Even at the
reduced rates it is rather expensive
amusement.

RECENT DEATHS.
Spencer.

The community was saddened anc
startled Friday evening to learn OF the
sudden death of George w. Spencer, who
dropped dead at his home early in the
evening Mr. Spencer had not been in
his usual good health this winter and
died of heart failure.
He was born at East Burke, March IA,
1884, being the son of Willard and Mary
| Paddleford Spencer. His boyhood DAYS
were spent at his native town, where on
! Sept. 7, 1854, he married Emily Resia
Cushing. When the war broke out Mr.
Spencer went TO Washington and was
attached to the bureau of subsistence
under Gen. Eaton. He served his coun-
try all through the war in the commits
sary department, being in Washington
when Lincoln was assassinated and also
when the final review of the Union troops
was held, He came to St. Johnsbury in
1864 and entered Fairbanks store as a
clerk. Except for few years in the Cen
trail market on Main street, first under
the firm name of Spencer g. Pearl and
later Spencer, Pearl & Merriam, he has
been connected with Fairbanks store
over 40 years and for most of that time
he has been its efficient manager. His
long service in this capacity gave him a
wide acquaintance, and it was due to his
energy and enterprise that the products |
of this store had market far beyond |
the borders of this state.
His wife, died Feb "a, 1902 To them
were born five children. Henry, Robert
and Carrie all died of diphtheria in 1864
and were buriedin one grave. He leaves

Anna Estien, wife of George
II. Frost of Brookine, Mass There are
also FIVE grandchildren, Robert, Kath-
leen, Harold and George w. Spencer, Jr.,
of Des Moines, and Agnes Estien Frost
Of Brookline, Mass. A wide circle of
friends sympathize with the family in
their bereavement,
Mr. Spencer Joined the North Congre-
yational church in 1875 and was a faith
nj attendant at its services. Though
lever active in politics he took keen in
crest in public affairs and good govern
nent and always supported those meas
Tres that helped in the social uplift of st.
ohnsbury Possessed of a warm heart
md sunny disposition he was a man
hat everybody loved and one who will
,e greatly missed.
The funeral was held at his late resi-
lence Yesterday afternoon conducted by
lis pastor, Rev. George W. c. Hill, as
listed by Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks.
The latter spoke most appreciatively of
Mr.. Spencer's honorable methods of do
ng business, treating all alike and in
listing on absolute honesty in all his
business dealings. There was profu-
ion of floral tributes including designs
rom Chase & Sanborn of Boston, the
grocery store force, one representing all
departments of the scale shops, from
he foreman of the factory, who called
lin our friend OF 40 years, and from
many other personal friends and rela-
ives. The bearers were Henry E. By
on, w. W. Blodgett Frank N. Brown,
Henry A. Holder A. S. Crane and Charles
Y. Steele and the interment was in the
amily lot at Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
