taking Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to see what it would do, and I am restored to my natural health. Mrs. ETTA DONOVAN, Box 299, Willimantic, Conn.
 The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, infam- nation, alteration, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, fatulency, indi- gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra- tion.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others, and why should it not cure your s---.,~~., --..--------,

OPPOSITION TO POSTAL BANKS

There is fierce opposition to the es- tablishment of postal savings banks in this country, and it is of such a character as to command attention, and is very likely to cause delay of Legislation upon the matter Whether it is delayed or not, the matter is assuming shape which gives promise of larger privileges to the thrifty classes and better laws for the pro- lection of their surplus earnings when on deposit The Chicago News calls attention to the fact that the bankers in convention there favor better bank ing facilities for the whole country and 1t says through the bankers op- position two plans have come to the surface for supplying this lack with out the establishment of postal de- positories. One is to secure in the many western and southern states savings-b bank laws similar to the laws of New England, New York, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania. The other is to get authority for the national banks to establish savings departments"
 The News, which strongly favors postal savings banks. says:
 Not the least beneficial effect of postal banks would be the influence exercised by them upon bankers throughout the country to put in prac- tice desirable plans of extending more widely to persons of small means the benefits of banking institutions"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
shortaae of Butter.

MT. Editor: You refer in your pa per on Sept. 4th, to the wealthy spec ulators that have cornered the but ter market, especially to the combine in Omaha that have 50,000 pounds in cold storage ready to put the marker to 50 cents later on. The following figures given out by the 32 associated warehouses Sept. 1st, 1909 of the amount of butter in storage on that date compared with 1908 might be val uable information.
 Amount of butter in storage Sept. 1st. 1908, 65,212,3s4 pounds.
 Amount of butter in storage Sept. 1st, 1909, 50,377.S4s pounds.
 Shortage as compared with 1903, 14,- s34,546 pounds. This shortage has more to do with the high price of but ter than any corner that can be made by speculators and shows the enor- nous amount of butter stored for fu- ture use in this country as at wholesale price this will figure over S15,000.000.

THE COLOR LINE.

The Richmond, Va, Despatch has concluded that the color line is as worldwide as the lines of latitude and longitude on this hemisphere. The latest controversy is concerning the act of Commander Peary in sending back his white associates and taking his negro cook with him, the fact not seeming to be apparent that Peary, as West Point trained officer, might naturally think that he needed a valet or a cook on top of the earth more than he needed a white companion, and then a subordinate would not att tempt to claim a share of the fame, for late events show that Commander Peary is very jealous of his fame.
 The Times Despatch says concern ing this:
 "The admission of a negro where explorers etiquette, it seems, barred any white companion, is the dearest proof possible of the great gulf fixed. From it has sprung a second polar war Captain Bartletts friends, we note, are arguing that he who was honored with a place nearest the cOmrnander should have been Cau- casian, and not a member of an in- ferior race. If they are depressed, we assume that Afro Americans every where are correspondingly puffed up. From the standpoint of inter-racial

rHE WAY oF SUCCESS.

The municipal fair is the thing with many Massa chusetts cities, Brockton having become famous all over New England for the excellence of it's ex- hibitions, and this week the New buryport fair is making a grand suc- cess of it's annual meeting. and The News of that city says the reason the fair is such a marked success is because the management have a way of putting their profits right into the betterment of the grounds and the buildings. It is the Hartman way of doing business, not allowing a piece of property to run down for the sake of making big dividends or to be able to say they have a surplus in the treasury. Two things tell terribly against the success of a fair-leaky buildings. poor race track and poor ly kept grounds. The old adage: The way to make money is to spend mon- ey," is just as applicable 10 fairs as to any other kind of business.

SAID SHE WAS MILLIE.
And Rugged Henr.- in Public, so That
 His Wife Got Curious.

Miss Millie Starkey appeared on the pier of the Atlantic Transport line yesterday and told an inspector she wanted to meet her brother. whom she had never seen, although he was older than she and was married. The inspector pointed out H. E. Starkey, who, with his wife, had just landed from the Minneapolis, and was having his baggage examined.
 Are you MT. Henry F. Starkey ?' the young woman asked him. His tall form straightened up and he look ed at the questioner curiously. There was sadness in her voice and he could see tears in her eyes.
 "Yes," he said slowly: I'm Henry F. Starkey."
 I'm Millie.s And before MT. Star key had time to realize even what his sister had said she threw her arms around his neck and wept, crying: "Oh, Henry! To think l have never seen you before!'
 Mrs. Starkey edged over toward her husband curious to know something about what was going on.
 What's the matter, Henry? Is the lady ilI?' she asked him.
 No. This is Millie, my slater. Came from way out in North Dakota to see me. All right. isn't it?''
 Evidently it was all right. because Mrs. Starkey kissed and hugged her sster-in law as she was never kissed and hugged before.
 Mir. Starkey said he had been away from home working when his sister was born She was a pretty babe from all accounts, he said, and man and his wife from North Dakota who were passing through Jefferson. O., asked if they might adopt her. Mrs. Starkey was in ill health and her family was not well supplied with the worlds goods. So the papers were drawn up and off the youngster went with her new parents. When Henry returned home his sister was gone, and although he returned to Jefferson, made that city his home, went into business there and married, Millle never came back.
 MT. Starkey and his wife had been abroad on a pleasure trip for two months. After the first meeting the brother moved over toward his sister every once in a while. and said to her, Are you really Miller" and when she answered Yes" he embraced her and appeared as happy as a boy out of school.
 All are going out to Jefferson. O., and the sister has promised to remain with her brother for two months at least before returning to North Dakota.-New York Herald.

Can't Afford to Spare Him.

Waterbury cannot easily afford to spare Robert S. Ross. He has filled a strategic point in our city life for a number of years and the need of him in that place is as great as it ever was. The work he has been doing is not done-never will be done and the city will be fortunate indeed to get any one to take 1t up and carry it on as well as he has been doing it. New Haven is to be congratulated for getting him; and he Is also to be congratulated, for the New Haven work offers him larger field and re- lieves him of the burden of anxiety that must have been heavy upon him most of the time he has been here. Mir. Ross is Y. M. c. A. worker and leader of very high class. He pos sesses force and energy without self assertion or irritating aggressiveness. He is strong and faithful patient and persevering. positive and yet concil- iatory. It is hardly likely that any body could have done as well as he has here during the past eleven years. New Haven is almost sure to find that he attains to the full measure of her needs. We are all very sorry to have him go.-Waterbury American.

First of course, you'll call for her about S.30 in the morning. Then you'll get down on all fours on the front lawn to receive your load-two clothes baskets filled with enough food for that encamp- ment they had out at Elgin this sum- mer; one hammock; one large tin pail for making lemonade, probably. con taining about twenty pounds or ice; two umbrellas, one pair or ruDDers done up in a newspaper, and two oth- CT newspapers spread on the grass at the picnic grounds while lunch is is being served"
 What would you do under such cir cumstances." asked Teddy, coldly. Let the young woman carry the pack ages while you sailed along in front with tlst pipe of yours poisoning the natives? You'd make a hit

Another brief and en- livening walk of not more than mile will bring you to the railroad train, where the happy revelers will be as- sembled awaiting your arrival The girl, of course"
 Say, it's a wonder you wouldn't have a little sense once in while!" interrupted Teddy. There is no girl in this trip of mine! Ripley's wife has gone away for few weeks and he's invited three of us fellows at the office to come out to his summer cottage and spend the day with him. Now, l hope you're satisfied"
 Archie looked attentively at his pipe and brightened up.

 He smiled genially at Teddy, who continued to fold his summer garments into the package, but failed to return the smile.
 No. I'm not going across the lake" he retorted. Cant man keep his summer clothes looking half way de- cent without being kidded about it? Maybe when l get to be your age I'll be willing to go through life with my trousers bagged at tke knees and grease spots on my coat"
 Archie refilled his pipe, elevated his eyebrows and continued to smile in the most tantalizing way.

BREAD AND BUTTER A LUXURY.

If what is being predicted about the better prospects of this fair land of ours is true, the day will soon have arrived when bread and butter has become a luxury-is no longer the mainstay of poor families. The Phil adelphia Times does not think that 50 cents pound will be the limit for butter this winter. The Times says: Butter is going up. up, up in price; it is reasonably certain to reach fifty cents a pound, and the prospect is that 1t will go much higher. And if it does, a. piece of butter-bread will be as costE,9as an English plum pud- ding in high-priced hotel.
 Then there1l be no more plain but ter bread except for the children of millionaires and profigates. And what will the rest of the country's children do? There is nothing that can sup plant butter bread"
 Those who speculate upon the ne- cessities of the people-who corner the necessaries of life-may think that vaseline butter is good enough for the citizens who Colonel Bryan used to call the plain people. About all that the people can do is to be as cheerful as possible under the cir cumstances.

THE PLAIN LITTLE POST CARD.

The plain little postal card at the end of forty years use perks up as a most profitable thing for the govern ment It started slowly at first and in the early years looked very much like an uncertain case of vaccination; but 1t took at last and now the num- Der used annually averages over 24O to the family.
 It is gratifying to learn that the government promises that the post cards of the future shall be stronger with a better surface for writing up- on with pen and ink, than the cheap cards now in use At the same time they will be lighter, a consideration which is of considerable consequence to the government in it's effort to make both ends of the postofiice department come somewhere near meeting. When to this the private postal cards and the picture postal cards and the motto postal cards sent out are added. it leaves no doubt that the postal card is all the rage. It may be in the way of other mail-matter-it may be ruled as secondary stuff, but it doesn't in- crease the deficit, for it makes a handsome profit for the department.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Nolan Verdict.

The acquittal of MT. Nolan, the Westfield farmer, who shot a fruit thief on his place a short time ago, by the coroner's jury here yesterday will meet with popular approval. There was little doubt in the mind of the public that the shooting was ac- cidental and that Mir. Nolan was fully justified in the use of firearms in the case. The provocation to the farmers by reason of the indiscriminate steal ing of fruit and vegetables is great, and while the reckless use of the shot gun would be inexcusable it is gen. era1ly recognized that 1t is the only effective check on this wilful purloin- ing of property. The case may serve a good purpose as a warming to sim liar actions by thieves in the future. -Middletown Sun.

----~-------~---- THE PEOPLE TO BLAME.

The New Britain Herald says the voters are themselves to blame if they do not have a legislature to do their will in making laws and in choosing a United States senator. Bosses may name the candidates, it says, but they cannot elect them without the votes. The voters will be very apt, as usual, to vote for the candidates put before them, selecting them by their party label. though, in some instances, choosing the better man in their es- timation. regardless of his politics. But they're not likely to do anything unusual. until there rises up a leader to inspire them and point the way, with ability, good judgment, courage and conservation of a practical kind. It will be for him hard lift and a long season of disappointing effort. He needs to have the high principles of Luther the good natured persist ence of Chandler, with some aptitude for politics and perhaps a touch of genius. Where is there such a man? Waterbury American.
 In a sense this is true, but in an- other sense it might be claimed that the people are constantly betrayed. Politics is organized from A to Am persand-town, city, county and state the people are unorganized, for they have been bred to trust their leaders and to regard organization or alert ness unnecessary. and when it comes to policies they do seem to be as dough in the hands of kneader. Their political action is habit-that of their leaders a plot and force. New life, new political habits, and culti- vated alertness would be a remedy
