The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven.
tons which may fairly be regarded a,
important since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but,
ton was wholly product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use of wooden mold. The brass but.
ton is said to have been introduced by
a Birmingham merchant in 1880 1t
took 200 years to Improve on the meth.
cd of sewing the cloth upon the cover
ed button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea OF making the but
ton in two parts and clamping them
together with the cloth between.

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
II Is an Essential Part of the Great
Game of Baseball.

Game of Baseball.
According 10 bleacher law, there are
three particularly justihable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed-tirst, If he sees
flt to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at q
close point in the game; second, an
umpire may be killed If he sends q
member of the home team to the bench
when the player In question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt TO bite his ear OFF
touchyl; third (and this is perfect
defense against the charge Of murder),
an umpire may be killed If he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls 60 straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinetively American sport Other coun.
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing is
like football without girls in the grand
stand 1t simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king of outdoor sports was indi-
Gated forcibly when in the fall of 1909
the Detroit team made a "trip to Cuba
under the management of Outhelder
Mcintyre. In the entire series of
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision Of the umpires. The
Americans did not know what to think
Of it--untii they counted up the gate
receipts at the end of the series. Then
they realized that in their own country
1t is the delight in killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the turnstiles.-George
Jean Nathan in Harpers Weekly.

Norwich People Should Not Neglect
 Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailrnent is unimportant. Don't overlook the slightest backache or urinary irregularity. Nature may be warning you of approaching dropsy, or fatal Brisht's disease. Kidney dis ease is seldom fatal if treated in time, but neglect paves the way for serious kidney troubles. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells. irregular or dis eofored urine. headaches. weariness or depression. Begin treating the kidneys with the reliable, time-tried remedy Doans Kidney Pills. For 75 years, Doans have been curing sick kidneys and curing permanently. Endorsed by Norwich people

BABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

"When my baby boy was six months old. his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to itch and burn. and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores His hair came out and finger nails fell of, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed his shirt.
 t'We tried 8 great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment but short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment although we had tried several other things and doctors too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them, and great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont. Jan. 28, 1911.

Absorption Process
 Makes Faces Young
(From The Home N1aker)


 Success has at last come to scien- lists who for years shave sought some effectual method of removing the outer faclal skin in cases of insight ly complexions, which would be both painless and entirely injurious. The new process is so simple, the means so ordinary so inexpensive, the wonder is that no one had dis covered the same long ago.
 It has been amply demonstrated that common mereolized wax, to be had at any drug store, completely re- moves. by gentle absorption all the w1thered, lifeless cuticle, showing the youthful, roselike skin underneath. The mercoliZed wax is applied at night-like cold cream but not rubbed in--and washed off in the morning The absorption also cleanses clogged pores. increasing. the skins breath ing cape city ands capillary circuIa ton. preserving the tone, color and natural beauty of the new skin

BALTiC
The Election of MT. Stevens Will Count
 for Economy.

MT Editor: I received the 50th an nual town report of the town of Sprague today. out of the usual -rou- tine of getting them and have been reading and comparing it carefully with others of the preceding years that I have kept Having resided here for some thirty odd years, l naturally take an interest in anything that pertains to the town. It pleased me to read that something had been finally accom- plished in the way of progressing with out increasing the debt of the town. Being rareful reader. and good ob server, I think I can say without re- serve or fear that in the last ten or eleven years, with the exception of a couple of years the present candidate, R J. Jodoin, for the office of first Se- lectman on the democratic ticket, has had control or a monopoly of that of flee. It needs no going into details to tell you how this man handled the rib bons and drove the good old horse, "Sprague.' It is sufficient to say that under his driving the town last year, according to the present report, had debt of $7S.033, 30.
 On the ticket with MT. Jodoin. John c: Donovan is a candidate for the of flee of second selectman. These two men formed the board of the year 1909 and 1910, and according to the report, increased the debt by s3,405.56, and left unpaid bills to the amount of s2.563.32, making total of $5,968.SS.
 Where, in the name of all that is fair and square. did they sink this money. Surely not where any one has seen it.
 Mondays election will be purely To- cal, and the question of a mans party or nationality should not be an issue. What the, town wants is an honest man who has the combined assets of run ming the town on economical lines re- gardless of party or friends MT. Jodoin has been ambitions selfish, reckless and cratic: and those qualities are not conpa tible with sound policy or a safe conduct of affairs.
 Mir. Stevens took the town i'll very desperate straits, and although having only one year a it, has shown won derful results. l hope that there are enough of fair minded level headed voters in the town to re-elect him, and see if the results will not be per fectly satisfactory.
