LETTERS TO THE EDIT0a
Police Court Methods?

Mr Editor: The farce Of police court justice was well played the other morning in the dog case which took up most of the day. It was a fine exam pie of a police court farce as it is be- ing played in this town. It proves that an honest man cannot get into that court without being pilfered. no matter how innocent he may be. That was the most glaring example of in justice and as such is certainly re- ceiving the proper condemnation of the public which it deserves. o courts of justice. how you have fallent It is simply another argument and a power ful one in favor of putting the prose cutor on a salary as he should be and not encourage the prosecution of inno- cent men for the sake of that little fee A most aboninable condition of affairs and one which must be agi- tated by the citizens until that cursed system is abolished. What are we thinking of to allow this system to obtain in an intelligent community ? An office which should pay eight or nine hundred year-a fixed salary, by the fee system convicting every one innocent or guilty alike. The of fee now pays nearly S2,000 a year There should be sign on the door of the police department and city court: For revenue only"
 u IS no credit to those departments to publish large bill of receipts for the monthly work We wish there was no such return. That is not a grist mill or a manufacturing plant. The smaller the criminal record the more pride we take in OFT city. Let us hope when the dog case gets to req court of justice that justice will be done, and not te made mockery of

WHERE GoMPERS SLIPPED HIS
 TROLLEY,

A new injunction has been issued by a Des Moines court which has sur prised the country because it settled the trolley strike in that city immedi- ately.
 When MT Gompers came out and denounced the court after his usual manner, he could not have been aware that the blow of the court was not aimed at the strikers, but at the oper- ators of the road.
 The Des Moines Traction company have an agreement with their union- ized employees that all grievances shall be settled by arbitration. They dis charged a conductor and the strike followed The union officials claim that the complaint against the conduc- tor is properly a subject for arbitra = ton and that the contract had been broken accordingly. The court takes this view. The conductor was reinstat- ed and ran the first ear out of the barn, and his fellows. followed car after car as the citizens who lined the walks gave the men cheer after cheer as they resumed duty.
 If strikes can be settled by the courts on the violation of contract basis it will be a good thing for all parties concerned.
 It was a wise judge who thus inter- preted the law, established new prec- edent, oNercame the strike and brought order out of conditions approachine anarchy. May his action prove to have been based upon sound legal princi- Tle.

A LIVE AMERICAN.

John w. Gates ran the whole gamut of husinesstbefore he became shrewd fnanclcr and he won the battle of life by learning early that the mastery of small details gave a man power for great achievements. It is a long ways from clerkship in q hardware store to the position among money makers he attained, but he was .level- headed plunger and in ability to carry through great deals he had few superioss.
 He did not profess to be a saint and did not deny that he understood any game from horse racing to stock watering, so when he gave these 'Don'ts' to a Methodist conference in Texas two years ago, they were re- garded as the none effective because of the source from which they emau- ated

Can you direct me to the best doc tor in town?' inquired the stranger.
 I'd have 10 think that over while before I'd be willing to risk saying which one is the best" the tired native replied. Tt depends lot on circum- stances and the kind of treatment you want. Do you want a doctor for your self or merely for a friend?''
 For myself
 Well. that point has to be consid- cred If you were looking for a doctor for ;a friend I'd recommend Dr. Whack- man. Hes old fashioned he is. You don't catch him dealing out sugar coat ed pills or doping his medicine with wintergreen to make it taste good. Not on your whiskers. He hasn't any faith in medicine of any kind unless it tastes like something that's been dead a good while.
 T declare, I'll never forget the medi : cine he gave me when l had the hives several years ago. It was dark brown in color and as thick as tar and had to take a tablespoonful three times a day if I followed the directions. But after ! took one dose 1 decided that the hives might do their worst and if l had to die I'd do it with a civilized taste in my mouth.
 "Old fashioned people always go to him, for they feel that he gives them their moneys worth. His medicine isn't made of rain water and if you swallow one of his pills you won't be able to forget it for three weeks. So if you're looking for honest medicine and good value for your money. you'd better go to Dr. Whackman. I'd sen3 my friends to him every time, but if I was sick myself I don't believe I'd call him in.
 Maybe pr. Timberly would suit you better. He's strictly up to date ana has an immense practice. People sa y that his medicines taste like soda foun- tain drinks and the children cry for nj s pills. He wants to see everybody pleasant and comfortable and he would not be so low down as to give you medicine that didn't taste just right.

ORANGE FARMER FOR TAFT.
Wilson II. Lee Sees No Great Hostility
 Over Reciprocity.

Wilson H. Lee of New Haven, Conn.,. president of the national typothetae of America. is spending a few weeks in Athol.

WHERE HAY-FEvER PAYS.

The hay-feyer season is on and the old-timers who have exhausted all remedies flee to pollenless atmo- sphere if they have the means, while those who have not stay at home with red noses and weeping eyes and bear the affiction as heroically as possible. We learn from the west that the fever this year is more severe than last and the exodus of patients from the big cities is larger than ever.
 A despatch from Chicago says:
 "The members of the regular hay fever colonies who get it'' on a cer- tain regular date are already crowd ing the Lake Huron steamers, and many who never have had a touch of the complaint are helping them to crowd the boats to their limit. The gross receipts, for instance. of the Grand Trunk. which runs what has come to be known as the hay-fever special out of Chicago, for the first three weeks in July amounted to $2.91S.903,, an increase of $43S,749 over the same period in 1910. There is a close connection between these figures and the hay-fever exodus, which year ly makes break for Tema gami, AL gonquin Park, and the Highlands of Ontario where the malady is un- known
 "A man stepped into an elevator in the Windy city recently.
 "A friend greeted him by asking, Got a cold?'
 Hay fever,' the man replied. Its popular this season.
 He was one of the many who can not flee this summer disease that makes one feel so miserable, and which is more prevalent in the Windy city this year than usual.
 Vacation in the north woods, for both hay-fever sufferers and people who merely desire a rest in a pleas ant country, is becoming more and more popular New lines of steamers on the lakes and special excursion trains make the beautiful, lake jeweled. pine-clad, picturesque Highlands of Ontario easily reachable by the vaca- tionist.
 Algonquin National park, the Tenn agami forest reserve. and other choice regions of Ontario are full of fisher men and campers, and tourist traffic never was so heavy in the history of the road,

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
MATTER OF TASTE

l went to him when l had the rheuma- tism, and again, year later, when had the grip and he gave me the same kind of dope for bdth diseases-lfttle and liquid medicine that was better than lemonade, but it cost too much for a poor man. 1 know people who
 have gone to him with every disease you can think of, and they all got the same little yellow pills and the same sort of lemonade, of which you take a spoonful in a glass of water before each meal and upon retiring
 Your prescription doesn't give me much confidence in Dr. Kimberly. What other doctor is there in town?
 There's Dr. Gashaway. for one. He puts on more agony than any of them. He has two automobiles and a hired chauffeur and wears a plug hat. All the rich people go to him and he must be coining money. My son worked 1n his office for a while as g, sort of sec retary and general handy man and had a good berth, but he got so nervous he had to quit. You see, appendicitis IS Dr. Gashaway's hobby. He seems to have the idea that there's only one disease worth mentioning, and that most people have it. When sick man visited the doc he'd ask all about his
 symptoms and examine him carefully and say he had appendicitis in an ag- graXated form and rush the man of 10 his private hospital and take him apart
 and put him together again. There's
 no doubt that he's a fine surgeon. for two or three of his patients have re-
 covered.
 Well, business got slack. many peo- pie being out of town. and my son mo- ticed that the doctor was looking at
 him all the time in a hungry sort of
 way and asking him if he didn't have pains in his side or something like that. At first my son didn't under
 stand it. but a last it dawned on him
 that the doctor was suffering to op-
 crate on him, and then he took his hat
 and left the office by the fire escape. y

LYDIA E F1f9kiiAEA I0S eXp6TlGICo W1U0 an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of chil- dren, and indeed child birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindlyto the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty.
 In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong.
 Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pink ham at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be held in strict confidence
