R. F. D. No. 3. Mapleton. Me" When
 my little girl was one year and nine months old her ear commenced being sore around the edge. It broke out with an eruption and was red and swollen and had watery discharge for days at a, time Then it would get better fora few days. At night it would run 90 her hair would be solid mat that side of her head
 stI treated her with everyNldnd of safve and ointment could get, cold cream and t, and made different kinds from herbs that would be recommended by friends but nothing did any good for moro than few days. After two years sent for sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. In week her ear was healed so bought more and continued to use them about six weeks until all redness had disappeared and the cure was complete' (Signed) Mrs. J. F. Kicker. Mar. 25. 1913.

 Pretty. shopping hats are of the sailor variety with narrow brims and soft crowns. Some of these crowns, which just fit the head. widen out suntib at thestop, where the stiff crown band of ribbon terminates. they are almost of the same circumference as the brinls.
 Freakish is the proper word to ap- ply to some of the evening stockings that are being worn. Butterflies and moths appear to fly over them, and are embroidered upon the silk web ping of the stockings in brilliant col ors, while wonderful rainbow effects are produce dby bead ernbroideries.
 The two-brinmed hat is most be- coming to many pretty faces. White duvetyn is chosen for the top brirn, which is so flat as to- almost do away with the appearance of a separate crown. A fri1l of lace hanging from the top brfn is fancy that veils the wreath of roses, or rim of fur. that connects the two.

A Minneapolis newspaper, on it's first page, published a list of Some head liners on inside pages. "headlin- er,' is the principal feature of a vau-. deville entertainment. The term has a different meaning from the newspa- per shead1ine.,' Yet in this confusion of ideas may there not be the germs of a great scheme. Why shouldn't the whole of a newspapers first page be given up to headlines. relating to a large number of articles, and with each headline a, reference to the in side page where the article might be found? For those who read only the headlines in a newspaper this would mean a great saving Of time.

SOLDIER AND SAILOR

London oct l7.-Princess Mary has ~
sued an appeal IN which she says;
IT want YOU all to help me send a
christmas present from the whole ma
ton to every sailor ahoat and every
soldier at the front. on Christmas
eve, when like the shepherds of old
they keep their watch, doubtless their
Thoughts win turn TO home and loved
ones left behind. Perhaps, too. they
will recall the days. when as children
themselves, they were wont to hang
nm their stockings wondering what
the morrow had In store.
"I am sure we will be happier on
Christmas morning to feel that We
have helped by sending our little to-
ken of love and sympathy something
useful or of permanent value, the
making of which may be the means
OF providing employment in the trades
adversely affected by the war"
1t is hoped that the appeal will re-
suit In the raising of $4,000 for the
provision of gifts taking the form OF

CHARLES A. PROUN
ADDRESSES CR0WO
At ODLEBURY

Mtddlebury Oct 15.-There was a large
attendance tonight at the town hall TO
hear Charles A. Prouty. candidate for
United States senatorship on the nomina-
ton Of three parties. There were man"
ladies' in the audience. Professor RAJ
rnond Mcfarland of Middlebury College
progressive candidate for congressman
from the first district presided, and 10
speech Of % minutes gave a resume OF the
present situation in the State from the
progressive standpoint.
Prouty was greeted with loud applause
and was listened TO with close attention
for an hour and half. He defined the
progressive principles. saying that the OBJ
iect of the progressive was to
benefit the individual member or
the community and that no law
which did not do that was worthy of CON
slderation. He pointed out the methods
| In which hws for the regulation or rail-
roads and other public institutions anu
| private monopolies are beneficial TO all
/ classes
| He said that the United States Senate
was the only political place IN which
Vermont was the equal OF any other
State and that II was In the Senate
where the enemies Of progress have
made their most successful stands. Argu-
Ing from this standpoint the most I'm
portant Qualification for the senatorship
| to-day was that he should be man OF
| f>,ry progressive tendencies.

Dillingham; how Re he'd bsen and Is OPP

by the progressives, Mr. Prouty said

There is evidently more than one aspect of
the problem; in fact, there are three main
difficulties to be surmountcd. Floods rob
the uplands OF water needed for maturing
the crops therefore sufficient water
should be retained in the uplands by some
suoh method as Col. Thorpe's. Again,
there is the question OF the loss OF top
soil by river erosion. II IL computed that
for 1000 miles along the Mississippi, 12
acres per mile Is washed away every year.
or nearly 1000 acres annually of almost
the best soil in the country. And, third
ly. the lowlands are drowned, so that
their rich soil Is not allowed to do its
work properly. If. then, the flood waters
could be held up all three Of these diff
culties would be met
At present 1850 million tons of silt are
deposited annually in the Mississippi, of
which 600 million tons are washed out to
sea, leaving In the river bed $50 million
tons, or IL times as much as was re-
moved in the construction Of the Panama
canal Apart from storage reservoirs
which are indicated as absolutely neces-
sary to meet the whole difficulty, some
thing must he done for districts where
water Is very deficient There are 300
