Peculiar After Effects
Of Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemicof grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seems to suffer most, as almost
every victim complains of lame back and
urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Drug
gists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmers
Swamp Root which so many people say
soon heals and strenthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root is
a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
and, being an herbal compound, has
gentle healing effect on the kidneys,
is almost Immediately noticed in most
cases by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send
a sample size bottle of Swamp-Root. Oh
receipt of ten cents, to every sufferer who
requests it. A trial will convince any one
who may be in need of it. Regular size
bottles Scots. and $1.00. For sale at all
druggists. Be sure to mention this paper.

Insufficient Tax Rate

Following the state papers closely, one
sees that nearly every town, village and
city in the state find their present tax
rate insufficient. Indebtedness has been
incurred. A higher tax rate must be
levied. The question is, in the slang of
the day, where do we get on?" Year
after year we spend more money for
seemingly necessary, or at least very de-
sirable things. From time to time we
raise more taxes to meet necessarily in
creasing expenses. The question is when
and where do we stop, or are the taxes,
like the cost of living, forever going upp
The problem is not local one merely,
or Vermont problem alone, but appa-
rently world wide question.-Barton

Hyde Park is good clean town. Keep

DR.. Geo. B. Hulburd of Jericho was a

A son was born to Mr.. and MR.. Ray

Chicago Friday evening.
Misses Gladys Witherell and Carrie

Saturday and Sunday in town.
The semi-occasonal supper by the
Ladies' Aid last Thursday evening was a
great success. The attendance was very
large and all enjoyed the feast and the
unique entertainment which followed.
In spite of the fearful weather the Re-
bekas had good attendance at the social
Wednesday evening. Progressive whist
finch, victrola music and dainty refresh
ments made up very good time for those
who "braved the elements"
A representative of the White Enter
tainment Bureau of Boston was in town
Monday, arranging for Lecture Course
for this place next year. We understand
that nothing definite was reached. The
White Bureau furnished the course here
two years ago.
The big storm Saturday delayed the
trains and blocked the roads in great
shape. Added to this was temperature
of about 25 . below, with wind mean
dering about at 40 miles an hour-all of
which had tendency of making people
hereabouts wish they lived in California
The big storm last Saturday delayed
trains in all directions, but the mail got
it the worst, not reaching here until
about midnight, when it should have
pnlled in at 6.10. The express going east
was an hour and half late and in leaving
the depot had to work hard to get through
the drifts.
In spite of the inclement weather, Rev.
Mr.. Sheldon, the author of SIN His Steps"
had an audience of nearly hundred last
Sunday afternoon. He gave very inter
esting address on 1.-THE Value of Man"
and for nearly an hour held the close at

clear and forceful speaker and all who
heard him were well paid for coming out.

10 Demonstrate Abundance.

The way to make the ideal the real
is persistently to hold the thought Of
their Identity. The way to demonstrate
abundance is to hold 1t constantly in
the mind, frequently to say to your
self: "All that my Father hath is
mine" The Lord is my shepherd:
shall hot want" If all this is true
land you know that it isl, any want

Foolish .IeaIolIsv-

The jealous man throws a thousand
stumbling blocks in his own road.
He often lives in constant fear of the
tripping he has prepared the way for.
No philosophy will so surely build him
smoother way as that based on the
sensible conclusion that he could not
be the other man and that what he
has reason to hope for will be as
gratifying as anything another man
can get.

SELF SEEKING EVIL
Idea of every Man for Himself"
Denies Great Truth OF Broth
erhOod of Man.

There are two spirits pervading hui
man life, the selfeeeking and the self
sacrificing.
There Is very old and very plaus-
ible maxim which says: Every man
for himself" This expresses very
forcibly the religion, if we May SO use
the term, of the self-seeking spirit.
1t is bad enough when this spirit
manifests itself in the social and bust
ness affairs Of life, but worse when it
manifests itself in the church. 1t de-
MES the great truth of the brotherhood
Of man.
1t assumes that man is not his
brothers keeper. The practical out
working of every man for himself"
would make every man pirate or a
highwayman.
The rights of others have no signi-
dcance or influence to the man who
applies the rule of every man for
himself"
His conception of the relationship
he bears to others is defined in the
thought that it does not matter what
evil happens so it does not happen to
him.
seIf-seeking Spirit Evil.
Unhappily the self-seeking spirit is
not confined to the social and business
life. 1t often manifests itself in the
church. Men seek prominent places
in church organizations for selfish
ends; they strive for high places and
positions of honor on the principle of
every man for himself"
The good of the church or the good
of other men is not the actuating mo-
tive of all who attain high Office in the
temporal kingdom Of God. Judas was
one of the twelve. He stands as
marked representative of the self-seek-
ing spirit in the church. His thought
was for no man other than himself.
All the boundless grace and love Of his
master had no weight against the de-
sires for self.
The saddest of all the sins and
weakness of human nature is the self
seeking spirit in the church. 1t comes
from carrying the theory of every
man for himself" from the things of
the flesh to the things of the spirit
If the selfseeking spirit tries to
gain positions of power and influence
in the church militant why not extend
the principle into the church triumph
ant-into the world beyond. If 1t is
good here it is good there II every
man for himself" is right anywhere 1t
Is right everywhere. So If the self
seeking spirit is right in the social and
business life it is right in the church.
and the question of success would de
pend upon the shrewdness and artful-
ness OF management and maneuvering
in the one as it does in the other
