Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women / am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia K,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia u.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs Barclaysays, it is worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

Spring Poetry Kills an Editor.

The editor sits in his easy chair
While needless winds blow thru his
hair
No more his trenchant pen will me
The pillow in the field of the ought-to-
be.
No more he'll praise the fire mer-
sheen
Or censure things that might have
been"
The great red sun shall rise and set
In tireless round, the world gorget
The days and deeds of Esquire Shaw,
Prophet and friend and editor
For many years the old man strobe,
Along the journalistic road.
And week by week did what he could
To make a wicked people good.
His life has been an eight-point prose;
For news he had the probing nose;
But poetry was not for Jim.
1t had too many feet" for him.
But gentle spring" brought miles OF
verse
And each days saw him growing
worse
Until he died, as you may see,
Because of too much poetry.

The jokesmith displayed a sheet OF
paper, perforated, like a sheet of post
age stamps, into five-inch squares, and
gummed, like stamps, on the back
This is my new perforated joke

and address on it, and on each square
write a joke. Then ! send the full
sheet to my best-paying editor, and
he tears out the jokes he wants and
returns the sheet to me, when I send
it out again. This is kept up till the
last joke is sold
ITS a good idea The gum on the
back? oh, that allows the editor to
affix each joke to a sheet of copy pa

pot.

FRANK 3. HOWE. Editor and Publisher

The farmers are murmuring over
the enactment of the legislature pro-
viding that creameries shall thorough
ly sterilize or pasteurize the skim
milk or buttermilk before returning
il to the patrons. The process of
sterilizing by heating takes away its
food value for young stock. Hence
but few patrons will bother with this
by-product after May /, when the law
takes effect One source of profit,
though perhaps not a great one, is
thus taken away from the farmers and
this by a legislature comprised most
ly of the tillers of the soil. What is
the meaning of it.-l.ondonderry Stiff
er.
Is mot the Sitter mistaken in think
ing that the sterilizing takes away
any of the feeding value? The law
was one of the measures designed TO
lessen the spread of tuberculosis
among farm animals, which has been
shown TO have been caused by distrib-
uting the by-products from tubereu-
lous COWS to farms where the disease
did not previously exist. The law
had the support of the more progress
sive farmers in the legislature but if
it is wrong the truth should be made
known.

The New Hampshire Legislature has
protected no-license communities by
passing a bill prohibiting the transpor-
tation of liquor by express companies
from a license into no-license town.
Phoeni.
This law which is similar to the
one which just went into force in Yer
mont represents the tendency through
out the country. Towns which have
voted no license because their thirsty
citizens could run or send over into
the next town and buy all they want
ed. and then Dragged about their NOR
al atmosphere would be forced to
stand on their own merits. We should
like to see the absolute prevention of
the bringing of liquor into Vermont
except to licensed dealers and all such
dealers stopped from selling except to
people In their own towns for six
months, and then have the towns vote
on the question of license and no lie
ense. We fear that the returns would
take the curl all out of Clarence Fer
guson's hair, but hypocrisy on the rum
question wouldn't be so rampant for
a few days anyway

The way to prevent this mild kid

treat it from its very first hour of APP
