A Fishing License

At every term of the legislature
someone is always on hand to pro-
pose some new measure to burden
the hunter or fisherman with a new
or additional tax for the little sport
he enjoys. First came the gun tax
an imposition on the ordinary sports
man from its first inception An i'm
position just as long as the hunter
with the dog is placed on the same
plane as the sportsman without one,
and who hardly hunts more than once
a season Then, at this legislature,
is the effort to raise the gun license.
Now they are harping for fish IL
cense. Later they will want to tax
you for walking on the shore of a
lake or stream.
There is such thing as carrying
some laws too far; and they are do
ing this in Vermont as far as regards
fish and game.-Express and STAN
dard.
We confess that we sympathize
somewhat with the Express and
Standard regarding the increasing
regulations on what we have always
felt was a right of the lover of fish
ing and hunting. But there is quite
a different side to the question. Good
fishing and good hunting are no long
er natural resources in this state,
they are dependent upon artificial de-
velopment under legal protection.
Without the planting of trout in our
streams and the protection Of fur
bearing animals and game birds in
our forests our fishing and hunting
would be very short lived. Now 1t
costs something to keep the streams
stocked and the denizens of the for
est protected. This gives rise to the
question whether the public as a
whole should be taxed to do this
work for the benefit of fishermen and
hunters alone or the men who are 10
enjoy the good fishing and good hunt
ing should pay a special tax to aid in
meeting this expense. 1t would seem
right If a man is to enjoy the improv-
ed sport he should help bear the ex-
pense OF it. Nor should the expense
be saddled upon the hunter alone but
the hunter and fisherman be assessed
alike.
One thing Is sure. The fish and
game department has demonstrated
its value to the state in actual re-
suits. They have improved the fish
ing in many of the natural waters Of
the state and the value OF property
where these improvements have been
made Is considerably enhanced. They
are saving the game from extinction
and in the case of deer especially
have made it possible. Good deer
hunting in any community is a real
asset to 1t. These things make the
continuation of the work of the fish
and game department desirable and
the expense should be at least partial
ly borne by those who receive the
greatest benefit from it.-St Johns
bury Caledonian.

I ventured to interpose a question.
you say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does 1t make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?"
"Well. 1 don't know that 1t makes any
difference, but 1t is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though 1t
does cure them" he said.

unredeemed Pledges

Our democratic friends who talked
free wool at one time, are now talk
ing of leaving duty of thirty per
cent on this product. This recalls a
statement that a political platform
with some people is like that of a
railroad car, merely to get in on. -
Burlington Free Press.
Now, let us see If all the perfidy of
party platforms are way off in the
halls of Congress. Right here in Yer
mont just now there is evidence that
some people regard party platforms
in the same manner as above quoted
Less than a year ago the Republi-
can party adopted state platform
and promised the people all sorts of
reforms. There was loud cry from
the Republican press of the state
that the party pledges must be car
ried out by the Legislature. The Free
Press, together with many Tory or
gans in the state, told us that there
must be no violation of the party
platform. The state ticket and the
members of the legislature were elect
ed on the pledge of the Republican
party that its platform would be car.
ried out.
Up to the present time there Is no
evidence that these pledges will be
| redeemed. There Is though, every
evidence that the legislature will ad-
journ without any important action
which will show that, in the words of
J the Free Press. "a political platform
with some people is like that OF a
railroad car. merely to get in on
The great majority of vermonters
are concerned with things at home
rather than matters far away. The
weakness Of the Free Press is in pick
ing flaws in public matters in way of
New York. Washington, Oshkosh, etc
A greater duty rests right here at
home. There's rotten politics right
here in Vermont, there's graft in Bur.
lington-there's things right here al
home fully as bad, in proportion to
/ population, as can be shown up in
New York.
Now let the good Free Press clean
out Its own party before attacking
the Democrats. Make the Republicans
of Vermont redeem its part pledge
before befogging the people with
the shortcomings of the Democrats In
Congress.
The Republican party will have a
whole lot to answer for before the
next state election comes around and
all the slurs and misrepresentation
that the entire Tory press can make
viii not reconcile the voters and the
party guilty Of such perfdy.-Bur.

Alcohol In Pe-ru-na--
An Unjust Criticism

Eyes, suppose So" 49, - --...--
Five per cent. would be one-twen-
-tieth. AS each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking a little less
than an ounce, Of alcohs, before each
meal" ~
Yes"
But you objected to your nepthera
taking alcohol in the Peruna, and'yet
she was taking far less alcohol than you
were. AS / understand II. the dose Of
Peruna is one tablespoonful. Surprising
1t to be twenty per cent. alcohol. there
would be in each dose one-fifth OF a
tablespoonful Of alcohol. which would
be about half a teaspoonful. while you
were taking at least four teaspoonfuls
of alcohol In your bottle of beer And
yet you objected to your mothers TAX
ing Peruna on the ground that the Pc
runa contains alcohol. In my opinion
| 1t was the alcohol that cured both of
you. Your mother evidently was cured
Of very serious ailment. Peruna con.
tains alcohol. 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her. or at least
helped to. The other ingredients OF
Peruna might have assisted, no doubt
did. In your case 1t was the alcohol In
the beer that cured you OF the stom-
ach difficulty. Peruna has cured
thousands of such cases."
"weil, declare" he replied. IT never
thought of it in that way before.
There has been so much said about al
cohol being poisonous that suppose
my mind has been prejudiced. against
1t. But II as you say there is also
alcohol in beer. the same kind OF alco-
| 4 - L.. T.
where the difference Is myself"
"well." I replied. you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman Is doing. You have al.
lowed your mind to become prejudiced
against Peruna on account of its con-
tanning alcohol. Without stopping to
look into the matter at all you have
assumed that there Is something terri
bly, disreputable about remedies con-
tanning alcohol. The fact is, however.
| that most all fluid medicines, whether
prescribed by a doctor or put UP as a
patent medicine. contain a certain
amount of alcohol. 1t was alcohol that
cured your mother 1t was alcohol that
cured you. In my opinion, alcohol In
some form or other Is making mora
cures than all other drugs combined.
This is not saying, however. that Pc
runa contains only alcohol. for It does
contain excellent remedies besides al
cohol. But do contend that the alco-
hol in Peruna is not only not harmful to
those who take 1t. but If taken In the
doses prescribed on the bottle 1t will do
great deal of good and there is not
the slightest danger Of forming a
drug habit" PERUNA IS FOR SALE
AT ALL DRUG STORES.

BIRTH OF A LETTER.
The Way "Wp Came to Take the Place
of the Old "VV."

The printers and language makers or
the latter part of the sixteenth CEN
fury began to recognize the fact that
there was a sound in spoken English
which was without representative In
the shape Of an alphabetical sign or
character. as In the first sound in the
word wet"
Prior to that time 1t had always been
spelled as vet" the having the long
sound of u or Of two us together. In
order to convey an Idea of the new
sound they began to spell such words
as wet" "wea ther." web" etc. with
two us. and as the u OF that date was
n typical V the three words above look
ed like this; wet" weather"
"vVpb"
After awhile the typefounders recog-
nized the fact that the double had
come TO stay. so they Joined the two us
together and made the character now
so well known as W. There are books
in which three forms of the W are Civ
en-. The first is an old double WV;
the next is one In which the last stroke
OF the first V crosses the first stroke OF
the second. and the third is the com
mon W we use today

that the conversation was conducted

Il think a great deal of this patent
medicine business ought to be stopped.
Especially such remedies as Peruna.
Peruna, as you know, is a stimulant
and contains eighteen or twenty per
cent. of alcohol People take it without
knowing what 1t is. and such remedies
ought to be prohibited by law. My
OWE mother took Peruna once. She had
cough. night sweats, was growing
emaciated and weak. Several doctors
examined her The opinion was ex-
pressed several times that she was
going into consumption. One thought
1t was chronic bronchitis. At any rate,
her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doc
tors she consulted, although she took
their medicines faithfully for nearly a
year. Some one told her about Peruna,
and against my wish and against the
wishes of our family. she began taking
1t. At once she improved, and in less
than six months she apparently was
well. We did all we could to discour-
age her In taking Peruna, but she per-
sisted. 1t finally came out in the mag
| azines that Peruna contained alcohol

that benefited my mother. 1t was SIM
