In order that the Democratic
party may be able to invite a
cabinet of its own to sit at the
table when we celebrate our
great victory at Frankfort this
winter, it behooves every lover
of the party to vote it straight.
Give the same support to the
middle and tail of the ticket that
you give unto the head and there
will be no doubt of a great VIC
tory for us to celebrate. We
have the ticket made up of as
fine material as ever went before
the electorate and we want all
our children there of the same
faith so as to enjoy regular old
fashioned love feast. Stamp I'M
der the rooster and let your vote
go Gallagher.

The political situation as far as
it pertains to the Democratic sit
uation in all the nine Democrat
ic districts in the State, is be-
coming more clarified every day,
while the latest news from the
tenth and eleventh districts is
very encouraging indeed. If the
Democratic workers will keep up
their most incessant endeavors
from low until election time,
we feel that victory is ours by a
large majority. There must be
no let up or lukewarmness on the
part of any one. Every voter
must hue to the line and keep up
a constant bombardment of the
fort of the enemy. This sort Of
protection is what gives to each
voter encouragement that il
requisite to reach the goal of vic
tory.

Northern France, where the Ger

of the trenches in the Givenchy

In the Campaigne a German
attack to the West of Tahure
was checked by artillery fire, the
French report asserts. The
French rear lines in the Cham
payne district have been subject

Martial law in par tial form has
been proclaimed in The Hague,
the measure affecting workmen
in trades furnishing military sup
plies in Holland, compelling these
workers to obtain military per-
mits to go to other districts.
The Nish-Saloniki line has been
( cut for a distance of five miles at
a point believed to be about fifty
miles South of Nish, according
to an Athens dispatch. This
trunk line is naturally the one
that would be used by allied
forces moving from Saloniki to
Serbia's assistance in resisting
the Teutonic- Bulgarian attacks.
Serbian resistance to the leu
tonic advance South of the DAN
ube is described in the current
Austrian War Office statement as
most severe. " The Austrian
attacks. however, are reported as
every where progressing. The
Serbians are counter-attacking,
but their counter strokes are de-
clared to have been repulsed
with heavy losses.
Serbians took the initiative at
one point on the Bulgarian from
tier on Tuesday, according to a
Sofia dispatch to London, and
crossed the border, but were de-
feated after an all-day battle in
their attempt to occupy heights
West of Belogradchik, Bulgaria.
The Russians now have supe-

The British have made a gen.
eral attack along nearly the en-
tire front from Ypres in Belgium
to Loos in Northern France, the
War Office announced to-day. 1t
declares that all the attacks fail
ed.
The line of the new attack re-
ported by Berlin extends for a
distance of more than twenty
five miles. If it proves to be in
reality a concerted offensive
movement it represents one of
the most extensive that the Brit.
ish have undertaken. The Brit
ish attack was accompanied by a
bombardment of the Belgian
coast.
Italy probably will take part
in the allied movement in the
Balkans, Rene Viviani, the
French Premier, told the French
Senate to-day.
That Russia would participate
in the Balkan operations of the
Allies, begun by Great Britain
and France, already had been
announced by Premier Viviani.
Sir Edward Grey in the British
House of Commons to-day made
a similar announcement, saying
the Russian troops would be sent
as soon as they were available.
! The French Premier's an.
nouncement to-day follows the
news from Rome last night
that Premier Salandra, of Italy
had returned from the front
where he conferred with King
Victor Emmanuel and Gen. Ca
dorna, chief Of the Italian army
staff, presumably with regard
} to war policies.
A possible clew to the method
r by which Russia may join he
allies in Balkan warfare is fur

Winter terms of schools generally be.
gan on Monday, Dec. 9Th. The village
school is taught by Miss Muriel Palmer;

Lena Russell at Bear Mountain, Hattie
Russell in the Glover District, Hartford.
What a change in town schools within
a half century. Fifty or more years ago
about the only expense borne by the
town, or districts, was the wages Of the
teachers. Female teachers were given
from 81 % to SO per week, and
'boarded around" Male teachers were
paid from SIS TO $40 per month, and
''boarded around" Usually the wood
was given by the parents, and often hit
ted for the stove by the big boys.
Books were furnished by the pupils
parents. Conveyance to and from school
was by the pupils legs. "Hiking to
school" was the recreation" afforded
after the "barn chores" were done. Re-
pairs on school houses were generally
done by the parents making bee"
Aud yet, with these mesger furnish
ings, or rather lack of furnishings, the
pupils of that day we're better educated
and showed more proficiency in their
studies than msns to day with all the
greater facilities afforded. Particularly
so in spelling and geography. 1t is
question whether the acquisition OF text
book knowledge in our schools is com
meusurate with the great expense oil
schools to day. Yet We would not &c
back to the old-time methods, but i'm
prOYe the new.

ARE YOU RUN DOWN.
Awaken to the Danger and Aid the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs You down
to the verge of collapse before you know
the cause. When you seem unable to
pin your mind to any task, your back
aches and you cannot do an ordinary
days work, It 10 time to ask yourself this
question: care my kidneys working
rightP" The answer may be easily
found.
Weak kidneys slacken their altering
work and the uric acid circulates with
the blood, In many cases attacking brain,
nerves. muscles and vital organs. Don't
wait for serious trouble-begin using
Doan's Kidney Pills when you feel the
first backache or first notice urinary dis
orders. This remedy has given new life
and strength to thousands. Read the
grateful testimony that follows:
W. o. Needham, retired farmer, Main
Street, Norway, Me-, says: "At times
my kidneys seemed affected. They were
weak and my System seemed filled with
uric acid. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at Stones Drug Store, corrected these
troubles and gave relief in short time. ="
OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Needham said: ~ use Doan's Kidney
Pills occasionally and they. always give
me relief"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for q kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Needbam
had. Foster. Milburn Co., Props, But.
