Reform Jews in Russia.

once more an attempt has been
made to establish reform Jewish con-
gregation in Russia. This time it is
the well-known Jewish writer, Nathan
Pfeferkonitch, who organized the con-
gregation in st. Petersburg. 1t is mod
eled after the reform congregations of
America and Germany. The prayer
book to be used in the Reform Temple
in st. Petersburg is translation of
the Einhorn prayer book, which was
translated from the German for Amer
lean use by Dr. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi
cago. The services will be held on
Sundays instead of Saturdays so as to
give chance to those who work dur
ing the week to attend services. The
founder of the Reform Temple is we'll
known as translator of important He
brew works into the Russian. He is a
scholar and man of great ability. 1t
is believed that his work will bring re-
suits and that the congregation organ
lied by him will be the foundation for
similar congregations in other import
ant cities of Russia.-St Louis Star.

of Sir William Wuloughby.

Letter From Lone Time Reader.

c. A. Lewis of Waterville, Washing

follows:
Dear Old Paper

around the country in saddle bags on a
horse.
That was the only way of conveyance
in those days. don't just know how
long ago that was, but am 92 years

short time since my sight was as good
as even in my younger days. All the
old people | used to know and all nv
schoolmates are dead, except about five.
yet | would like someone to read the
news about my old home in Vermont.
The majority of people in Vermont
and in the eastern states have but little
idea of the way they farm in this wheat
country. The manner of blowing, seed
ing and harvesting, threshing and haul
ing to market is wonderful. am in a
mill run by electricity, which has all
its storage full and 1000 bushels piled
on the ground and still teams are COM
ing all day long, six and eight horses to
load and from SO to 225 bushels to a
team. The six and eight horse teams
draw two wagons Harvesting is done
by binders and headers on small farms
but large farms use a machine called a
combine, using 80 horses; one man
drives the team. 1t cuts, threshes and
sacks forty acres per day. The flour
ing mill runs night and day, capacity
10 barrels every "a hours.

you will think it worth while to waste
time in the reading to tell of the climate

things eastern people don't know"

The League may be a rich man club,
as farmer says but we personally
know of several members who are not
wealthy or near wealthy, and in addi-
ton are very inoffensive chaps, good
fellows to be sure, but not the ones to
interfere with any mans rights. And
we do not believe that the league as a
whole is seeking to cheat anybody out
of his rights or do aught that would
bring discredit upon the state or their
association. Perhaps if Farmer would
identify himself with this Rich Man S
Club he would discover that the mem
bers thereof are not such monsters as
some would try to make them out The
devil is never as black as he is painted,
and it is probable that the league suf-
fers for the sins of others more than
for its own.

Talking About the Platform.

The Hardwick Gazette says it is all
well enough to talk about the platform,
but first of all why not talk up the mat
ter of living up to the promises made in
them? Very good. The newspapers
and the people are wont to howl vocif-
erously about the platform before the
state election, but in some cases the
Legislature ignores the promises utter
~. What's the use of having a plat
form, anyhow" Middlebury Register
Well, to put the matter right up to
our collective judgment in its ultimate
form, that would mean going before
the people standing for no principle
under the sun except the selfish ambi
ton to hold a few public offices. Do
you want to do it?-St. Adams Messen-
ger.
Wei, why not go before the people
standing for no principle under the sun
except the foolish ambition to hold a
few public Offices" just as well as to
make declaration of principles, or in
other words platform and then have
the legislature ignore the platform? AS
for the foolish ambition" we would
inquire if the always esteemed Messen-
ger knows of many office holders. either
state or national, who were not pro-
noted by ambition when they became
candidates for their respective Offices?
We Oftentimes hear of the Office seek
ing the man, but to be entirely truth
full about it, is it not fact that in the
majority of cases-the great majority
the man seeks the office instead of the
Office seeking him? This statement is
pSbven at about every election at which
any office of Importance is to be filled.
Even in the state campaign which is
ahead of US the candidates so far "men-
toned have, with the usual degree of
self-sacrifice, offered themselves as
lambs for the slaughter, not responding
to any spontaneous uprising of the
people of the state who demand that
they should lead them to victory, or
defeat. A possible exception may be

That much maligned body of Sports

Game League, is once more on the grid
die, this time being under fire from a
contributor to the Poultney Journal,
who relieves his mind in this wise:

land Herald that the farmers in one
town had posted notices on their farms
forbidding hunting thereon, but have
also stated that all persons who will
swear that they are not members of the

The meat dealers of Rutland, with
one exception, refused to handle any
doe meat during the open season for
deer this week, which example was
quickly followed by the Barre dealers.
This action was taken as protest against
the bill passed by the last legislature
permitting the shooting of doe during
the open season; and was brought about
by the dealers themselves. These are
only two cases among many which show
the dissatisfaction existing among the
people of the state with this Infamous
law.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

If a person would correct his habits.
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are O.
multitude of people who will not or cam
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
|, In other words, Peruna is helpful tc
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers Of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load
This illustrates the effect of Peruna.
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
TEN. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en- roachments of disease.
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi-
tute medicine in the place of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
| Those who know how to use Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough SO that
through correct living no medicine al
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec.
ton in which. all medicine will be elm
mated, Peruna is handy remedy &c

Slight arrangements of the stomach.
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, OF acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate

He knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet If
palliative is at hand the pains of indi-
gestioh can be mitigated, the throes OF

not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. 1t will increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
1t is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
o tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of diges-
ton very Iazily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation of the food. Sour stom-
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition IS very apt to produce rheum-
etism.
1t is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
stism but correct living. But it is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.
