THE NEW yOuN RAINBOW is DIS
APPEARING.

(From the Boston Journal.)
Two months ago the political experts
were positive that the democrats could
not be beaten in New York State next
fall. They did not give the democrats
credit for exceptional strength and
strategy. but they figured that the party
would surely get together this year and
take advantage of republican dissen-
sions
The rainbow Is disappearing. Tho
democrats themselves are bound that
they shall not triumph. Some time ago
democratic League was formed for the
purpose of reycuins the party from such
men as "Charl-" Murphy. "Fingy' Con-
ners and other statesmen hitherto prom

and members of the league are finding
fault because Osborn has rushed into the
arena.
Meanwhile. Congressman William Sui

nomination and is banking on tho sup

MALLETTE'S HARD LUCK.
No Work, Nothing to Eat and behind
on the Rent,

Asaie Mailettc of North Bend street,
charged with forging a pass slip on the
Burlington Savings bank for $li.2o. was
arranged in city court Monday after
noon, when he waived examination. He
was returned to jail and his case will be
investigated by the States attorney.
Mallette admitted that he did tho for
gerry but he had many excuses for - CO.
ing. He said that he had been out of
work all winter and that he didn't have
anything to eat and was behind on the
rent. The landlord kept dunning him and
he became discouraged and tired. lie
then went to G. ID. Vincent's shoe store
and passed the forgery.
He also said that he intended to return
the money but that he had been unable to
do so thus far. He continued that he
thought at the timo that it would be all
right, providing he paid back the money.

Thought lie Must he ~ as Father Had
Kicked Him Ont.

Gilbert Douchard was in city court Mon
day for his first offense of intoxico-
ton, when he made the startling state
mcnt that he didn't know how old he
was. Gilbert is young, no doubt, hut Just
how young nobody knows. Because of
his seeming youth he was asked to dis
close.
MY father says that I'm 20, my aunt
says that I'm p. and my mother says
that I'm 49," said Gilbert. II guess I'm
81, though" he continued. "for my father
kicked me out of the house long time
ago"
Gilbert said that he met n Montpelier
man ut the railroad station, and that said
man gave him several drinks of whiskcy.
He didn't know the mans name.
Gilbert is the man who caught prairie
dog on George street and then tried to
sell 1t for ferret.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change Of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot Of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that IS i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began us.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number Of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil / was
very Ill most of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-.luts In addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prln-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day | gained In flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-.
tirely disappeared and feel that I
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa.
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave of coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time. but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use 1t also be.
cause they have had such good results
from it."
Look In pkgs. for the little book, THE
Road to Wellyille." There's Reason"

one appears from time 20 time. They
are genuine. true, and full OF human

The report made by one of the mer.
camille agencies, showing the bank
clearings of 1909, affords additional
and powerful testimony to the revival
of industry and general business
throughout the country. The total was
$l65,103. .9G6.3O6, which was a gain OF
25.2 per cent. over 1908. when the i'm.
provement over the panic conditions
generated In 1907 was well under way.
The figures also indicate an increase
of 80 per cent. over 1906. when bust.
ness was at high tide. Analysis oil the
returns shows that every section OF
the United States reported increased
business, though some districts had a
larger percentage than others. This
was even a better condition than in
1906. for in that year the different sec
tions varied widely in the proportion
of business done. Taken all in all.
this exhibit is one of the most salts
factory possible. containing as It does
proof not only of increases last year
but promise of continued activity and
profit this year.

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.
Based on the census of 1900. II Is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
herculosis that nearly 100000 children
now in school will die OF tuberculosis
before they are Is years of age, or
that about 6,4OO die annually r~-
this disease Estimating LAT on an
average each child who dies OF tuber.
culosis has had six years OF schooling.
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to Sl,l52.O00. According to investirG-
uons made in New York. Boston and
Stockholm, the percentage OF children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would
indicate.

To Check Ravases Of tuberculosis.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
declares that there are two ways Of
checking the ravages of tuberculosis
among school children. The first way
Is to instruct every school child about
he dangers of the disease and to
show them how they themselves may
prevent tuberculosis in their homes.
The second method is to establish
open air schools for all children who
have tuberculosis or who are suspect
ed cases, segregating them from the
healthy children.

SpitZbergen, which is a practically
uninhabited region lying up in the far
north. has come into prominence since
the discovery of large mineral wealth
there, and the matter of settling and
governing the region may be one of in.
ternational conference. Sovereignty is
supposed to be vested in Norway, but
that country has given little heed to
the section, because there was no need
of more, about the only use Of the
islands heretofore having been as a
stopping place for whalers and explor-
ers. Now provision is to be made for
those who will be employed In devel-
oping the natural resources and one
proposition is to stock the country
with Laplanders and reindeer. to be
used for transportation and other pur-
poses. Americans have an interest be-
cause some of them are concerned
with mining in Spit2bergen.
