"CASCARETS" FOR
SLUGGISH LIVER
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach, Coat

Bowels by Morning.

Get Decent box now
Turn the rascals out-the headache
biliousness, Indigestion, the sick, soul
stomach and foul gases-turn them out
tonight and keep them out with Cas-
carets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never know
the misery caused by lazy liver, elogged
bowels or an upset stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress
Let Casoarets cleanse your stomach; re-
move the sour, fermenting food; take
the excess bile from your liver and carry
out all the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels. Then you will
feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you
out by morning. They work while YOU
sleep. A l0-cent box from any drug
store means a clear head, sweet stomach
and clean, healthy liver and bowel action
for months. Children love Cascarets be-
cause they never grippe or sicken.-Adyt.

To Clean Colored Fabrics.

Crate raw potatoes to fine pulp In
clear water, and pass the liquid through
a coarse sieve into another vessel of wa
ter Let the mixture stand until the
fine white particles of the potato are
precipitated, then pour the water off and
preserve for use. This liquid will clean
all sorts of silk, cotton or wooden goods
without hurting them or spelling the
color. Two good-sized potatoes are suffi-
cient for pint of water.
The article to be cleaned should be
laid upon linen cloth on a table, and
having provided a clean sponge, dip it
into the potato water and apply it to
the article to be cleaned until the dirt
is entirely separated; then wash in clean
water several times.
The coarse pulp, which does not pass
through the sieve, is of great use in
cleaning wool draperes, carpets, and 9th
er coarse goods.

STATE COMPENSATION FUND.
With Three Contributors, Including
Workmen, Proposed.

The public hearing given by the
special state commission investigating
the subject OF Workingmen's Com
pensation Act for Vermont presented a
subject of much interest locally. 1t will
doubtless call ont a variety of sugges-
tions and we wish to offer a few. The
basic purpose Of the bill will be 10 pro-
vide some compensation for any work.
man earning limited wages who suffers
an injury. No matter whether his in
jury is the result of carelessness on his
own part carelessnness on the part OF
a fellow employe or whether he accepts
employment with full knowledge of its
hazard, he is to be compensated for any
serious injury he may receive. The as
sumption is that the employer shall fur
nish such compensation even if he is in
no way responsible for the accident
Statistics show that the employe is d.
rectly responsible for a very large per-
centage of industrial accidents and yet
the law would hold the employer finan-
cially responsible for the compensation
for the same.
This seems hardly fair to u.s. That
compensation should be provided for in
jured workmen seems to MS wise and
for large part OF the injuries he re-
ceives why should the employer bear the
whole expense for themf There is an
other beneficiary under the proposed
law and that is the public. A workman
who is barely able to provide for him
self and family while actively employed
becomes a public charge wherever dis
abled by accident and in this way the
- - al
pense caused by such accident. The
proposed plan would to considerable
extent relieve the public of this bur
den and shift it on the employer. This
seems hardly just.
When laws have been passed throwing
this burden ON the employer he has gem
orally protected himself by insuring
with liability companies. These COM
panies do this business in way that
makes the employee sure of compensation
and themselves sure of good profit aft
er all claims have been paid. This makes
the employers expense of insurance too
great.
Granting that the workman is en-
titled to a reasonable compensation for
any accident he may suffer, that the
general public would be relieved to
large extent from the expenses of pau
perism under the proposed law, that the
employer is responsible for only part
of the accidents that occur in his plant
and that insurance by liability com
panies is too expensive, there seems to
be much justice in the following propo-
sition. Let a state fund for compensa-
tlon for accidents be formed, one third
to be provided by a per capita tax ON
aborers and the other third assessed
upon the employers in proportion to the
hazard of their particular line of busl
ness. In this way the workmen bears
share of the expense of the carelessness
of himself and fellow laborers, the en-
ployer the expense of his own careless
ness and the public pays only part OF
what it now does for the misfortunes of
the working man. When the burden is
thus equitably distributed let every |
form of industry and labor be brought |
under its regulations and a nearer APP
prosch to industrial justice secured.-St. |
