RHEUMATISM
WEAK KIDNEYS & THIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain IN the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and inflammation of the flesh.

THE NEXT ISSUE.

President Taft, in an address in Jack
son, Mich, recently alluded in a casual
way to the subject of socialism, recog-
nizing the trend toward some sort of
"collec tivism," which involves a concep-
tion of society and government contrary
to that on which our political institutions
are based. The last Republican national
ically, but little attention was paid TO
the subject by the rank and file of, the
party. In this connection the St Albans
Messenger offers some pertinent comment
which is entitled 10 thoughtful consider
alton;
That there is now an unmistakable
realignment of political parties under
way in this country is plain enough to
most studious observers of current af-
fairs. That the tendency is toward
readjustment of forces that will leave
us in much the same situation as the
countries of the Old World, with con-
servative progressists on the one side
lined up against radicals and extremists
on the other, is very probable.
The problem before the Republican
party today is so to adjust its principles
and machinery that the men of ideas and
ambition that are willing to venture as
far ahead as common sense and expert
ence will approve are not driven into
the camp of the opposition in order to
be able to make any move at all. The
Republican party need not fear the radi-
cal sociallstic element opposed to 1t SO
much as the Bourbon, stand-pat do
nothing element within its own ranks.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

The conference called by Gov. Prouty
in Montpelier recently shows that it is
time for the people OF Vermont to wake
up and to right a wrong which affects
every household to greater or less ex-
tent. AS a result Of this conference the
governor was empowered to appoint
committee Of five. TO draft a bill to be pre-
sented to the next Legislature, establish
ing a system Of weights and measures,
with suitable provisions for inspection and
the enforcement Of the law.
The government investigation OF the
subject which was started about year
ago has been carried out in 26 states and
in so cities and IT shows a laxity in nearly
all Of the states which is surprising. In
Vermont the places visited were Burling-
ton, Rutland, Barre, Montpelier and st.
Johnsbury The government agent found
that 40 per cent OF the scales used in
these cities were inaccurate and that IS
per cent Of these recorded short weights.
He also found that vegetables and fruits
sold in bulk were generally measured in
correctly. 1t is a very unenviable dis
tinction to be told that Vermont is the
greatest violator OF short weights in but
ter OF any state in the Union and that in
every group OF 5000 people there is loss
OF $1,000 per year II all their butter is
bought in prints. Gov Prouty said in the
discussion Shat the question OF weights
and measures was closely related TO the
high cost of living, which is one of the
most serious problems which confronts
the people today. Some interesting testi-
vyag al g.
prices which people spay for foodstuffs,
especially cereals and meats, which are
put up in attractive packages and sold
for three times as much as the prices
charged for the same commodities sold in
the raw state. One unfortunate feature
OF the situation which was revealed by
the conference is that Vermont is being
made the dumping ground for short
weight shipments which are shut out Of
New York, Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts by the rigid inspection which is
enforced in those states.
Gov. Prouty's commission will have an
opportunity to do the state a great SER
vice by preparing law with teeth, which
shall not only fix the system of weights
and measures, but provide for inspections
and the enforcement of the law. At the
present time many dealers are selling
goods short in weight without in
tending to defraud, The right kind Of
a law would correct this abuse and stop
deliberate petty frauds which amount to
a large figure in the aggregate.
The pure food law was an important
step in advance, and fixed standard of
weights and measures, with proper in
spection, should be closely allied with it,
Both measures are in accordance with the
trend of the times toward a square deal
for all.

William E. Chandler former United
States senator from New Hampshire. who
has always been a pugnacious individual,
is now attacking the railroad interests in
the politics Of his state. In recent pub
lie statement he rejoices that New Hamp-
shire has measurably freed herself from
the domination Of her politics, her legis-
lature, her executive officers and her
judges by the railroad power in Boston"
But" he adds, at remains for her to
show that she will not pass, into the own
ership of the railroad power in New
York" To this end he urges the nomina-
tion and election of Robert B. Bass of
Peterboro for governor, assuring the
voters of the Granite state that Mr.. Bass
has never taken any railroad passes from
Mr.. Tuttle and "will not take the money
or passes of Mr.. Mellen." While Vermont
is wrestling with the problem of several
gubernatorial candidates events are so
shaping themselves in New Hampshire
that Mr.. Bass is likely to have a clear
field for the nomination,

President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot of
Harvard university thinks drinking is "in
expedient' for the reason that "the man
who makes moderate use of alcohol on
Monday connot do as well on Tuesday on
account of the alcohol which he took on
Monday" That the use of alcohol in any
form shortens a mans life and reduces
his capacity for good work is generally
conceded, and the practice is steadily
growing among the railroads and other
employers of labor to draw the dead
line against men who indulge in liquor.
The hope of the temperance cause in the
future must rely fully as much upon the
advantages of conservation and efficiency
as upon ethical and moral grounds.

Where Do Candidates fer the Legislature
stand.
[Barton Monitor.l

The Monitor ventures the statement
that not one candidate for town rep
resentative in 100 in Vermont today is
appealing to the voters of his town for
their support on the strength of his
belief in some principle of government.
Individual candidates may believe in
this thing or that thing and go to the
-aegislature with an avowed purpose to
support, aid and vote for certain meas
ures, but If the man exists in Vermont
today who is making his canvass on the
strength OF his creed for better govern
ment' the Monitor has, yet to hear of
him.
1t is a peculiar thing that as rule
candidates for any kind of legislative
office in this state are not called upon to
declare themselves in the slightest de-
gree, while there is a growing tendency
to demand eXacting declarations from
executive officials The reverse should,
II seems to the Monitor, be the case, and
judging from recent elections in Mas
sachusetts and New York, where candi-
dates for legislative offlces have strong
ly declared their belief on public ques-
tions, a new political era is at hand. Even
in Vermont today the Monitor believes
that the candidate for town representa-
tive who would publicly declare a staunch
tions sure to come before our legislature
another fall would reap a harvest of
votes from the thinking suffrage popula-
tion OF his town the like of which he
had not dreamed

Scott of San Francisco was found tied

wedding journey abroad with her hus-
band, but little more than 20 years old,
who was formerly a bank clerk in New
York. Young Mr.. Charlton has disap-
peared and his relatives in this country
fear that he was also murdered. A post

woman died from suffocation.
