one day of the wonderful cures made
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and decided to try it,
and it has made me a we'll woman.
My neighbors and friends declare it
had worked miracle for me. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
worth it's weight in gold for women
during this period of life. If it will
help others you may publish my
letter. Mrs. NATHAN B. Creation,
81 n. Main Street, Natick, Mass.
The Change Of Life is the most criti-
cal period of a woman's existence.
Women everywhere should remember
that there is no other remedy known
to medicine that will so successfully
carry women through this trying
period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.
If you would like special advice
about your case write cOnfiden-
tial letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free,

Why Did Mrs Dodge Kill Painter Heath?
The conviction of Mrs. Florence
Dodge at Guildhall on Saturday for the
killing of William Heath ends the
fourth trial in this state during the
past quarter of century in which the
respondents have been women charged
with the offense of taking human life
The last of the four cases is the only
one to which the least element of
mystery is attached.
Mrs. Meeker of Moretown was exc
cuted at Windsor over 20 years ago
for the poisoning of little girl, not
her own child, for whom she no longer
wished to provide. Mary Rogers of
Bennington paid the penalty of her
life because she wished to rid herself
of husband of whom she had wea-
ried and because she wanted the insur-
ance money on his life. Mrs. Atwood
of st. Adams is now at Windsor serv-
ing a long sentence for killing her
husband during a quarrel in which,
the trial showed. intoxication was a
predominating feature
Ia all three of the cases which pre-
ceded that of Mrs. Dodge there were
sordid conditions Of life to which the
motives for the crimes could in a
measure be traced, evidence of which
appeared at the separate trials. Mrs.
Meeker was one of the degenerates
of the numerous isolated backwoods
districts of the state, there had been
no elevating influences in the life of
Mary Rogers, and the use of intoxicants
had blotted out of the brain of Mrs
Atwood, whatever elements of true
womanhood she may have possessed.
No similar characteristics, however,
were adduced in the trial of Mrs
Dodge. She is a woman of wealth
judged from the standards of the COM
munity in which she lived and where
she took prominent part in church
and social life. There had been moth
ing in her previous history to indicate
that she was in disposition any differ
ent from the hundreds of women liv-
ing in the many small villages
throughout the state 1t was brought
out during the trial that Mrs. Dodge
and Heath had once differed over a
bill for painting done by the latter,
certainly an insufficient motive to
prompt woman to take mans life.
Why, then, did Mrs. Dodge kill

Marble Deal Goes Through.

Officials of the Vermont Marble
company at Proctor have admitted
that the company had bought the
quarres and mills of the Rutland
Florence Marble company and taken
possession. The finishing mill is one
of the largest in the world. The
principal owner of the Rutland Flor
ence company which was organized
about 10 years ago is ex-Congressman
G. N. Fowler of New jersey. The
transfer gives the Vermont Marble
company practically exclusive control
of the large marble deposits in the

years, for the position of state super
intendent of the league, commencing
his duties next September. He will
succeed Clarence J. Ferguson of Bur-
lington. 1t is understood that a con-
! dition of Mr.. Smiths acceptance of
the position is that there will be a
radical departure in some respects
from the policy of the league. 1t will
devote less time to assailing the state
law and more effort will be devoted to
work in the various towns of the
state, to improve civic conditions un-
der the local option law as it exists
or as it may be wisely modified and

Tubercular Meat and Butter.

DR.. G. w. Peck, chairman of the To-
cal board Of health for Brandon, went
to a Brandon market where butter
from the dairy of Tom c. Seager of
that town was sold, procured a sam
pie of it and sent it to the state labor
atory at Burlington for examination.
DR.. B. H. Stone, director of the lab
oratory, reported that a guinea pig in
oculated with this butter was killed in
one months time and found to be
tubercular. DR.. Peck took this step
after the Seagar cattle, condemned
under the tuberculin test, had been
killed at the rendering plant and a
proportion of the meat sold by the
state through Swift & Co. to unsus-
pecting people of this state as pure,
wholesome beef. Some authorities
will claim that this might safely be
done first, because; milk and butter
would convey the disease much more
easily than cooked meat. and second,
because expert inspection would re-
ject the unhealthful portions of the
carcasses. The layman, admittedly
deficient in theory, has, we claim, q
right to his prejudice against eating
such food products as the state OF
Vermont is palming upon him. Per.
haps instinct, which revolts at the
idea of whiting off the tuherculous
part of diseased beef and eating the
rest, is a better guide than veterinari.

Charges brought against each Of the
defendants, were stated in an informa-

accusing his wife, Minnie Hall and
Louis Carlson, Norwegian, with
adultery.
Hall has been separated from his
wife, but unwilling to permit the at

workman to be shown his wife, Hall
took the matter up with the court.
Mrs. Hall has been living at No. 6
North First street, and Carlson has
been staying at the place.
When arrigned this morning, the
defendants took time to plead and
consult counsel, and their bonds were
set at $500 each by the court. Mrs
LITER, sister of Halls, the plaintiff
was busy endeavoring to secure the
bond required. On default of pay

turned to Jail to await trial, which will
probably be held tomorrow.

INSECTS HARMFUL TO MAN
Most Of Them Are Worse Than Use
less and Should Be Killed
at Sight.

Our instinct to kill insects at sight
is perfectly sound. writes DIR. Woods
Hutchinson. Out of the quarter Of a
million species now known to science.
a mere handful are even remotely
helpful to man, and most of these
only by their power of living upon
other and more dangerous insects. On
the other hand, thousands of species
are actively hostile to man, to his
food plants and to his domestic ami
mails Whole tribes have been swept
out of existence by the attack of In
sects carrying bacilli-as within the
last two decades, in central Africa, by
the dread sleeping sickness" carried
by the tsetse fly. Whole nations have
been weakened and crippled and
whole civilizations retarded by an.
other insect-borne disease, malaria.
Indeed, recent investigators have
advanced the theory that the historic
decline of both Greece and Rome was
largely due to the ravages of this dis
ease, brought into Europe by armies
returning from wars in Asia and AZ
RIGA. 1t may yet come, when we see
things in their true perspective. that
the warriors of civilized nations will
turn from slaughtering one another
to battling against our insect enc
mics.

pestilence, the common house fly, and
in ten years he would be exterminat

go half of our $4,000 deaths in the

summer diseases of children, two
thirds of our dysenteries and cholera
morbus, and one-fourth OF our typhoid
with not little of our tuberculosis
our tetanus and our boils and BLOOD
