I'm the happiest little woman,
In all this little town;
And my merry laugh and singing,
Takes the place of sigh and frown.
For JOHN HAS QUIT HIS DRINKING
And is like himself once more.
And the world is just paradise
With such happiness In store!
One day read some verses
'Mary's Miracle" the name,
And / said, that's John exactly,
And I'll send and get the same
So l sent for GOLDEN REMEDY,
CAS- sly as sly could be-
And put II in Johns supper
And put IL in his tea.
And 1t didn't taste little bit;
Had no odor, so, you see
1t was smoothest Kind of sailing
For little Doctor Me.
And watched and prayed and waited,
(And cried some, too, guess),
And didn't have the greatest faith,
I'm ashamed now TO confess.I
And John never thought a minute.
He was being cured of drink,
And soon he's as well as any ones
1t makes me cry TO think!
just makes me cry for gladness,
I'm so proud to be his wife
Since he Is cured OF drinking,
And leads nice, new life
''Stnce John he quit a-drinking!"
| can't say 1t times enough!
And hates and loathes liquor
AS be would poison stun.
And when say my prayers at night
As Thankful as can he
] pray for John the most OF all
Then GOLDEN REMEDY.

The engineers employed by the city OF

roads, so that in the event of the big reser
voir becoming an accomplished fact, pubic
travel will be only more or less inconven-
fenced by the innovation. We should say
more rather than less. The retention OF
one road very close to its present location
is important and almost imperative and
that road is the Plainfeld Pike. Its i'm
portauce as highway is so manifest that
no argument should be needed to require
the bridging of the reservoir so that around

if the cost of the bridge is $4,000 to
the city of Providence for the convenience
of the people of the state is matter that

Biased Experts.

The Providence Journal in discussing
the Scituate reservoir matter says: No
other territory is available, SO the engi-
neers have assured us" What engineers so
assure usp Why the engineers employed
by the committee of the Providence City
Council. These engineers are not likely
to recommend any other location, and
therefore their verdict should not be taken
as final. There may be other territory
where this reservoir could be constructed,
where less manufacturing concerns aud
business interests would be wiped out and
fewer homes would be destroyed.
