THE GIRL And
THE TRAMP

A great many travelling theatrical
companies have fallen into the hab-
it of refusing to use their special
scenery when playing small cities
where the stage accommodation are
limited. But when the EarIes mskeep
Attractions, producers of the laugh
ing comedy success, ''The Girl and
the Tramp turn the show over to
the company manager, they gave him
strict orders OF use all the scenery
wherever the company played.
The directing manager is so exact
ing on this point that he has the To-
cal theatre manager in each city re-
port to the home office if instruc-
lions have been fulfilled If this or
der has been violated in the smallest
detail, the party responsible receives
repr1mand in the way of heavy
fine that is not soon forgotten So
our local theatre goers may look for
ward to a full and complete scenic
production when The Girl and the
Tramp comes to the DAILY Theatre on
next Sunday. Popular prices, Is, %,
35 and so cents.

ONE DAY ONLY
Remarkable Success of These Talented
Physicians in the Treatment of
Chronic Diseases
Offer Their Services
Free of Charge

The United Doctors, licensed by the
state of Wisconsin for the treatment
OF deformities and all nervous and
chronic diseases of men, women and
children, offer to all who call on this
trip, consultation, examination, ad-
vice free, making no charge what
ever, except the actual cost of med
icine. All that is asked in return
for these valuable services is that
every person treated will state the
result obtained to their friends and
thus prove to the sick and afflicted
in every city and locality, that at
last treatments have been discoV-
cred that are reasonably sure and
certain in their effect
These doctors are considered by
many former patients among Ameri-
cas- leading stomach and nerve spec
ialists and are experts in the treat
ment of chronic diseases and so
great and wonderful have been their
results that in many cases it is hard
indeed to find the dividing line be
tween skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intes-
tines liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart
spleen, kidneys, or bladder, rheum-
atism, sciatica, diabetes, bed-wetting,
leg ulcers, weak lungs and those af-
flicted with long-standing, deep-seat-
ed, chronic diseases, that have baf-
fled the skill of the family physician,
should not fail to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, goiter or certain
forms of cancer. They were among
the first in America to earn the
name of the @Bloodless Surgeons
by doing away with knife, with blood
and with all pain in the successful
treatment of these dangerous diseas-
es.
If you have kidney or bladder
troubles bring a two ounce bottle of
your urine for chemical analysis and
microscopic examination
Deafness has often been cured in
sixty days.
No matter what your ailment may
be, no matter what others may have
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other physi-
clans, it will be to your advantage
to see them at once. Have it forever
settled in your mind. If your case is
incurable they will give you such adj
vice as may relieve and stay the di-
sease. Do not put off this duty you
owe yourself or friends or relatives
who are suffering because of your
sickness, as a visit this time may
help you.
Remember, this free offer is for
one day only.

After the I'll. G. of l..

The high cost of living is for
midable consideration. 1t has been
attacked from variety of angles,
but in the few instances in which
it has been temporarily Jared, it
has made quick recoveries-merely
let go to get new hold, as it were.
A campaign now in progress in New
York and Pennsylvania is at least
interesting in this connection. 1t is,
in reality, an extension of the plan
tried in New Hampshire some years
ago. The beseiging party, or asso-
citation, already includes 10000
heads of families in New York city,
500 retail dealers and several hun
dred farmers Of the Pennsylvania
State grange and the aim is to
reduce at once the number and
profits of the middlemen and the
cost of provisions. On the one
hand is the grange negotiating with
and on the other are canvass
ers enrolling additional families, the
plan being eventually to get in touch
with the farmers of the state of New
York, as well as with those of Pen
nyslvania. 1t has been calucu-
lated that if the farmer, who COM
plains of low prices, and the con-
sumner, who complains of high, could
be brought together, the farmer
could increase his charges by one
fourth, the consumer could still save
one-fourth, and the elimination of
waste would be of material benefit
to both. The plan of the association
is, through its 500 retail dealers, to
act as clearing house between pro-
Queer and consumer; members re-
ceiving coupons with all purchases
and being granted rebates thereon.
It will be observed that this plan in
wolves no intention, necessarily, ut
terly to eliminate the middleman as
such, but aims rather to do away
with the superduity. In fact, the
middleman is retained as part of
the new system, but he is limited to
one profit Actual investigation is
said to have shown that in some
cases as many as six middlemen have
been deriving profits between pro-
Queer and consumer. The associa-
ton will countenance no such con-
dition of things as this. Moreover,
it's program includes campaign
against the manipulation of market
prices by cold storage corners. 1t
has been suggested that this plan
savors of the cooperative selling of
farm produce in Denmark, whereby
the Danish farmers have tremend-
ously increased their profits and, at
the same time, a great saving has
been made possible for the consum-
ers of their products. The New York
Pennsylvania campaign will be an
interesting one to watch as it grows

Scientific Farming.

Out in Illinois the large landhold-
ers send the younger men of their
tenantry to the State Agricultural
college-wherein they set an excel
lent example for Vermont-not that
we have so very much tenantry, but
the idea is capable of wider appli-
cation. One Illinois man sends his
tenants regularly to take the sum-
mer course in agriculture. Another
sent forty-two of his tenants to this
school during the present year. The
result has been we are told, that
these young men are enabled by
their superior knowledge to make
the soil produce twice as much as
it formerly did. They have learned
the composition of soils, the benefits
of fertilizers, best methods of feed
ing cattle, the utilization of waste,
the benefits of irrigation, until farm
ing, an enthusiastic Illinois paper
declares, by the aid of improved ma
chinery has become matter for the
exercise of the highest faculties of
the mind and the weight of drudg-
cry is lifted from the back of the
man with the hoe.-[ Burlington

Prospects of Forty Cent Butter.

Figures of the Chicago Warehouse
mems association are published that
there are but 48,027,000 pounds of
butter in cold storage as against
6O,849,00 a year ago. The predic-
ton by produce dealers of forty-cent
butter next winter seems likely to
prove correct. This means a tight
pinch to many house-keeper with
her back up against the wall of a
fixed income.
1t is useless for her to expect that
such high prices can be attacked at
the farmers end. He is paying two
or three times as much for the food
which &c gives his COWS as he was
ten or twenty years ago. Further
more, his bill for farm help has
doubled.
In al American restaurant, meal
served without butter is regarded
as prison fare. In Europe, with less
lavish ideas, you usually pay extra
for butter in restaurant. " Lere a
meal is enriched by gravies and
sauces, the thrifty European is very
apt to regard his butter bill as a
needless luxury.
The American, however, will wear
frayed clothes a good while before
he thus cuts Lis rations. But he
might much better cut out butter
from a portion of his meals than buy
some of the warmed over and patch
work combinations reassembled
from boarding house table,. As
Sam Weller wanted the acquaintance
of the lady that made his veal pie,
so we want & personal introduction
to the COW that makes the butter
The machines which paradoxically
advertise to make one pound of but
ter into two by Introduction of an
other pound of milk are little better.
As pure milk is 81 per cent water,
this is essentially the same as il it
was suggested that the milk bill be
cut one half by diluting the milk
bottles one half with water.-[ Rut-

Col. EsteY a Good Man.

Vermonters who follow the story
of state affairs more or less closely
will remember that there was very
general disposition to send Col. ].
Gray Estey, of Brattleboro, to the
republican national convention of
1908, and that the Hon. Allen M.
Fletcher of Cavendish, had the pre-
ference because of seniority of age
and service. If Vermont sincerely
wants to recognize the merit and
desert of a splendid example of her
younger citizenship, man that has
given the best that is in him to adj
vance the public interest in ways
that do not count for applause but
are of practical and enduring SER
vice, she can do no better than to
send out to the next republican ma
tional convention a man like J. Gray
Estey, who represents the best
standard of useful Vermont citizen
ship that asks no public recognition
other than the opportunity to be
more useful still.-[St. Adams Mes
