which overworks the kidneys in their,
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and

like you relieve your bowels; remoy-

American battleships as worth COM

An exchange dwells as follows up
on vital features of buying at and
away from home:
People sometimes tell the home
merchant that he does not sell as
cheap1y as metropolitan stores or
mali order houses in more or less
distant cities. Any person wishing
to compare the two scales of prices
should inquire whether the distant
store was selling the same goods.

to look very handsome in a catalogue
cut. But the home merchant cannot
float that kind of goods. They come

For Shame.

The Telegram points the finger OF
shame at the newspapers of F'airmont
and charges that they are IN some
measure morally responsible for the
epidemic of suicides and attempted
suicides their community has lately
had. The epidemic is in part the nat
1Iral and inevitable result of a sense
less and persistent poison adyert1s1ns
campaign those newspapers have car
ried on for some time. Even with
reports of two attempted suicides IN
a single issue, these careless journals
fail to see the enormity of their Of
Tense and besmirch their honorable
public function by revealing and wal
lowing in descriptions of the poison
employed and it's effects. For shame!
What public service are the Fair
mont newspapers performing In CIV
ing details of a certain insidious pols-
on which causes lingering and agon-
izing death? Gould not the tragedies
be as well and as accurately reported
by merely stating that slow work
ing poison was employed? Why, in
the name of the Respondent and mel
ancho1ic, should a means of shuuiulS
off this mortal coil be advertised
likely be advanced that the newspa-
pers are simply publishing the truth,
but it must be remem Dered that 1T Is
not always policy. to publish the truth.
IL it were, the Fairmont newspapers
themselves would have entirely diff
ferent aspects and incidentally
enough litigation on their hands to
put them out of business in short
order. 1t would not be quite so bad
in their present poison advertising
campaign if they did publish the ex-
act truth in reporting the details of
their fayorite suicide poison, which,
reputable physicians declare, causes
n death, lingering, it Is true, but ex-
tfemely agonizing and torturing and
one of the worst to be chosen.
A few years ago, death from the

fered to was unheard of in the
Tairmont community. Then occur

altogether accurate; details OF. the
poison in the newspapers there. Since
