BIight's Disease

Let there be no evasion-we mean
chronic and supposed incurable cases
involving dropsy albumen and casts.
They are durable in a great majority
of all cases.
Let us cite a typical case-that of
MI r. f. Nitsckke of 1916 Spaight St,
Madison, Wis There had been eight
physicians on this case and it got so
extreme that he finally had one of the
last symptoms; namely, failing eye
sight In January, 1907 the doctors
admitted that nothing further could be
done and they sent him to Eureka
Springs, Arkansas. He continued to
get worse the dropsy finally reaching
the stomach, heart and lungs. AT one
time tests showed albumen as high as
IS per cent.
He learned of Fultons Renal Com
pound and began to take it July Srd.
Dropsy began slowly to decline and
the albumen dropped to forty then to
twenty, then to ten, and finally to two
per cent in May 1908.
The patient is now back to his en-
ployment and is devoting full time to
his business.
Patients desiring to know more Of
this treatment can get full literature
by writing to the John j. Fulton Com
pany, 212 First Street, San Francisco,
Cal.
Fulton's Reual Compound can be
had in your city at B. A. Quinlans
Drug Store.
We desire every patient to write us
who is not noting the usual improve
ment by the third week.

VETERAN is A SUICIDE
Arthur Alexander Takes Paris Green
at st. Adams Bay

st. Adams, Oct. 13.-Arthur Alexan-
der, aged about 81 years, veteran OF
the civil war, was found dead at his
home at st. Adams bay this morning,
having committed suicide by taking
paris green. The body was brought
to the undertaking rooms of John 7.
Sullivan of this city.
Alexander had been acting and talk
ing strangely for several days and had
told several people that he intended
to take his life. Last night DR. f.
w. Mason was at the house and AL
exander told the doctor that he was
i'll and had been taking paris green.
remarking that it seemed difficult to
take sufficient. quantity of the poi
son to cause fatal results, but that he
should continue taking it until he had
gained his purpose.
Alexander lived alone and the body
was found lying on the kitchen floor
by Mrs. w f. Higgins, a neighbor,
who had gone to the house for some
potatoes. The man leaves sister,
Mrs William Bates, who resides at
the bay. He was member of the LIST
Vermont Cavalry.
few days ago some one stole sew
eral parts from Alexanders boat and
this, together with the action OF sew
eral boys who have been plagueing
the man for some time, weighed heav-
lily on Alexanders mind and it is be-
lieved by many that these incidents
may have caused the act.
Yesterday while talking with bus
mess man on Main street he spoke OF
his troubles and added that he would
put stop to them, saying that moth
ing would trouble him in a few hours.
No attention was paid to the remark.

Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, Etc, Quick

Fever since its discovery, poslam,
the new skin remedy, has, in its ex-
traordinary accomplishments, exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of
the eminent specialist who gave it to
the world. 1t has cured thousands of
cases of eczema and eradicated facial
and other disfgurements of years
standing. The terrible itching at
tending eczema is stopped with the
first application, giving proof of its
curative properties at the very out
set.
In less serious skin affections such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, ETC., results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to ef-
feet cure. Those who use poslam
for these minor skin troubles should
Immediately secure one OF the special

meet such needs. Both the so cent

TAFT FAvoRs STATEHOOD
PIeases People OF the Territories OF
Arizona and New Mexico

Prescott, Ariz., Oct 14.-President
Taft won hearty welcome into Ariz-
ona by proclaiming wherever he went
that he was heartily in favor of state
hood for each of the territories of
Arizona and New Mexico.
When the joyousness that greeted
this statement had died nay Mr..
Taft had some sober words for his
audience in which he sought TO i'm
press upon them the necessity for de-
liberation in framing a state consti-
tuition.
He declared that their constitution
should follow the simplicity Of the
constitution of the United States and
should be merely fundamental laws
with simple rules of limitations. Mr.
Taft urged the people of Arizona to
profit by what he termed the mistakes
OF Oklahoma in constitution making.

Elroy Kent to Hanq.

The supreme court handed down a de-
cision Tuesday in the case of Elroy Kent,
who had been found guilty in the lower
court of the murder in July 1909, of
Miss Della Congdon. resident of East
Wallingford. and ordered that the man
be confined at hard labor at the state
prison at Windsor from now until Octo-
Der 10, 1910, then to be placed in solitary
confinement u ntil January 10, 1911
when he is to be hanged between the
hours of one and three o'clock in the
afternoon.
When Kent was asked if he had any,
thing to say he appeared dazed and it
was only after being spoken to by his
counsel that he mumbled, well. | am
not guilty, that's all I've got to say
The damaging evidence against Kent
was his having been seen around the
house of the murdered woman on the
day of the crime and the similarity of
his initials which were found cut into
the bark of trees and fences with the
handwriting in book which was found
upon him at the time Of his arrest.

Timber Decay Costs Millions.

Millions of feet of timber and finished
lumber rot every year in railroad ties,
bridges, trestles, piles, farm buildings,
fences, poles and mine props. The ium-
Der consuming public of the United
States pays perhaps thirty to forty
million dollars year to make good the
losses from wood decay.
These great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to dc
with the uses of wood are working I'M
ceasingly on the problem. The U. S.
Forest1 Service .has men who devote
their whole timeIto it. The Importance
of ther problem can not be overesti-
mated. Millions of dollars are annually
saved by preservative treatment of tim
bers, but much yet remains to be
learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the micro
scope. Its roots or branches, like mi
mute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. The collapse which
results is called decay. Timber is ar
officially preserved by forcing into it's
cells and pores certain substances which
prevent the growth of fungi. AS long
as this substance is present in sufficient
quantity, the germs of decay - the
threads and spores of fungus can not
enter, and the wood is preserved. This
often means doubling and somestimes
trebling the life of the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the Investigations of the preserv-
alive treatment of timber of such i'm
portance that the business of one office
OF the United States Forest Service.
that of Wood Preservation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is given
over entirely to the work of expert
ments in cooperation with railroad com
panies and other corporations and indi-
viduals in prolonging the life of railroad
ties, mine props, bridge timbers, fence
posts and transmission poles.
The lengthening Of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of dollars
annually through doing away with the
heavy expense of labor and cost of ma
terlal for renewals.

The loss of nine lives last Saturday
by the burning of st. Johnsbury bust
ness block which was supposed to
be fire proof, proves once again
that the inventive genius of man is
taxed to the utmost to erect building
which will not, under the right condi-
tons, become roaring furnace, with
the consequent sacrifice of human lives.
The st. Johnsbury fire department is
supposed to be good one, and it is,
but it was found, too late, that they had
no ladder long enough to reach to the
upper story. Whoever is blamable for
this lack of proper equipment ought to
feel some responsibility for the awful
consequences of this conhagration.
Too many towns are in the same pre-
dicament, lack of adequate fire fighting
apparatus. 1t may have been impos-
sible to avoid this holocaust but it is
probable that at least two lives would
have been saved had the ladders been
long enough. 1t should teach st.
Johnsbury lesson, and probably will
