The "pure food law" is designed by the
Government to protect the public from
injurious ingredients in both foods and
drugs. 1t is beneficial both to the public
and to the conscientious manufacturer.
Elv's Cream Balm, a successful remedy
for cold in the head, nasal catarrh, hay
fever, etc. containing no injurious drugs,
meets fully the requirements of the new
law. and that fact is prominently stated
on every package. 1t contains none of
the injurious drugs which are required by
the law to be mentioned on the label.
Hence you can use it safely.

any one has reason to praise Peruna 1t
is surely myself.
"Last spring became SO run down
from the serious effects of a lingering
cold, that several complications united
in pulling me down. could neither eat
nor sleep well, and lost flesh and spirit.
81 finally tried Peruna and it did
wonders for me. In two weeks was

felt better than ever had before.

strength. I send you two pictures, SO
you can see what Peruna has done for

81 wish to speak word in praise of
your highly valued Peruna, as have
been blessed with the golden opportu-

health, far better, since 1 have been
using it than for quite number of years

VERMONT NEWS.
J. A. DeBOer Mentioned as Candidate for
Speaker.

J. A. DeBoer Mentioned as Candidate for
Speaker.
The Montpelier Argus in an editorial
says:
The Republicans of Montpelier could
take no wiser action this year than IN re-
turning Joseph A. DeDoer to his seat in
the House OF Representatives. The State
has need of men of DeBoer's stamp, who
could fill the speakers chair with as equal
ease and grace as the most humble posi-
ton on the floor A return of De Boer to
the legislature would, without question,
place him in line for the speakership II he
wants it, and the voters might bear this
in mind. Speaker Cheney will be out of
the running this year and the field is
Open The horizon is also clear. Mont
pelier has followed too strictly the Gus
tom and often the mistakes of other
towns in changing her representatives
every two years. About the time man
becomes valuable as a legislator he must
step down and out. 1t takes a session
or two to learn the ropes, appreciate the
short cuts that save the State money and
realize the knack of attaining the best
legislative results in the short time avail
able to each session. 1t is 40 years since
biennial sessions have been in vogue and
during these years Montpelier has re-
elected her representatives only once, and
has had only one speaker, William A.
Lord, back in 1896. A large element in
the minority party, which party has been
effective enough in Montpelier in the past
to honor some very fine Democrats, are
in favor of endorsing DeBoer.
