Paris People Can Tell You Why

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease. and that is why the cures
are lasting. This remedy strengthens
and tones up the kidneys. helping them
to drive out of the body the liquid
poisons that cause backache. headache
and distressing kidney and urinary COM

manent cures.

A. Washington dispatch says that
Congressman Cantrill sees in the Su-
preme Court decision in the Standard
Oil case q blessing to the tobacco
growers, who can now form combina-
tions to enable them to get better
o ices for their tobacco and other
crops. MIR. Cantrill has for years been
trying to get the Sherman Antitrust
Law amended so as to give farmers
this right which he says will not now
under the courts decision be neces-
sary. 1t is hardly probable now that
we shall have any more of such prose-
cutions as those against the Grant
county tobacco growers unless it
should be discovered that some judge
will decide that such acts are in 'un-
reasonable" restraint of trade.

pleasure in informing cur members. or
stOckhe iers in the company. that it is
cur best judgment that the stock is

or more.
'At the present time we cannot tell
what the earnings of the company will
be, but it looks very bright for laying
up good surplus or a nice dividend,
and we advise that no member sell his
stock, and in the event he does that he
not take less than par"

The arbitration treaty between the
United States and England means the
beginning of the end of the war. The
people of the whole civilized world are
to be congratulated that after having
once rejected it the men who had in
charge the outline of the proposed
treaty inserted clause providing for
the investigation of all questions, even
of those not submitted to arbitration.
This is plainly the most important pro-
vision in the treaty. Other treaties
have contained exceptions which large
ly reduced their value ss preventives
of war but now Investigation is to be
made compulsory In every case. even
the so-called national honor is not
made the basis of exception and war
becomes a remote possibility.
1t will be remembered that ut the
peace conference in London five years

demanding the investigation Of all
differences before the commencement of
war. He had at that time the supp0l
of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and
the congress then in session represent
ing 256 nations unanimously adopted
the resolution. 1t was later Endorsed
by peace congresses in New York and
in Scotland.
& 1t is understood that the United
States has amour ED its willingness to
make a similar treaty with France. 1t
ought also make the offer to Germany,
Japan and other nations.
The worlds peace is no longer a

ais it missionaries or liver pills
that the ancient domain of Windsor

News after referring to the White
River Junction Landmarks un-
thankful contribution to Thanks
giving week literature and its furi-
GUS but futile assault upon Wood
stock, the shire town. whose alleged
aloofness and inaccessbility it be-
means at some length.
The News offense is not inexcusa-
BILE. The monotony of an intermin-
able discussion of the Marble City's
contaminated water supply aud
remedial Legislation might well ac-
, count for its fight over this way
and it's irritating inquiry
Windsor county is still on top of
the ground and Woodstock is the
county seat, as it has been since
many years before the war. The
Landmark alleges that there is a
disrupting lack of community spirit
between Woodstock and the rest of
the county. We don't know as there
is much lack of community spirit;
it is little in evidence, this lack,
when the neighbors want anything,
from charitable contributions to
candidates for high Office. If any
thing is wanted the neighbors come
to Woodstock, and they usually get
it. And on business or pleasure,
people like to come to Woodstock,
and come again, though they have
to come, some of them, by way of
White River junction. The juno
tion, however. has lost half its ter
rors in the ashes of the old union
station, and outside of that now
ruined edifice the humming village
was never a place to be avoided
anyway. 1t is always wide open,
the latch-string out for friends and
strangers, and in it's abnormal
growth and activity it occasionally
bursts button. 1t is in the good
town of Hartford; it is sister viii
lage of Quechee, which is the home
of Col. Scott Tinkham, and its many
blessings might well appeal to the
contemporaries better nature, though
court house and Jail are not for
its always bullying Christmas stock

Windsor is the biggest county in
the state. Itraises more corn, more
poultry. and more of various things
that go to sustain life than any other

might as well know that most of its
twenty-four towns have an excellent
and unfailing water supply. The
county's only ailment may be that it
,is too fat and self satisfied for its
own health.

The Letters OF Horace
Praise for Recent Publication
of the Elm Tree Press.

The Boston Transcript reviews
approximately as follows "The
Letters of Horace Presented to
Modern Readers" edited by Charles
Looms Dana and John Cotton
Dana, and printed by the Elm Tree
Press, Woodstock
The editors Of this volume believe
that Horace's letters are not inter
esting as generally presented in
English. Even the best OF the
poetic Transitions do not make
good poetry MOI tell the story salts
factorily. They have no prose trans
lations which make the letters easy
or attractive reading. They therefore
attempt to interest the modern public
them. Not through translation
adorned by especial elegance of
language, but to give the facts
regarding the personality of the
people to whom the writings are
addressed, to tell the time and the
occasion OF the writing, to supply
the local, historical, and mythology
cal references, to keep the thread OF
the story and to show the connection
of the reasoning - these things have
been their aim. Here are presented
only portion of the letters - those
generally esteemed the best and
most representative.
An introduction describes the
Sabine Farm, and the condition of
Rome at the time the letters were
written. The letters given are IF
teen in humber, twelve of which are
from the first, and three from the
second book. Those from the first
book include two to Maecenas, the
curious letter to the steward Of his
farm, and the letter to his cook.
The editors have the courage of
their convictions about nioderniza--
ton, and do not hesitate to say that
Phillip liked to divert. himself "in
any old way" and that he presents
Mena with "$75o." or course, the
latter seems strange only because we
are used to seeing money in the
Latin authors translated into English
pounds and pence.
A word must be said about the
beautiful formal Of the book. Paper
and press work are excellent, and
the binding is tastefully done in
cloth with paper LABEL 1t is
deliberately illustrated with nine re-
productions of copper-plate engrav-
ings originally made by Otto VENUS
about 1900. There are also eight
half-tones from photographer the
region OF the Sabine Farm taken ex-
pressly for this book. Lovers Of
Horace and lovers of good book
making will -delight in the volume.
