out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough A cough is a dam

is causing the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by. taking

Grocer Pays Customers

A "cash and carry system" has been put into
operation by grocer at Fond du Lac, Wis.,, for
the benefit of his customers. If his customers
pay cash for their goods he deducts per cent.
If they carry home their purchases he throws off
another per cent A little arithmetic will show
that if your grocery bill amounts to $25 month,
you will save $3.50, which multiplied by twelve
would make tidy addition to your savings &C
count at the end of the year. The plan, it is re-
ported, takes we'll at Fond du Lac. Why doesn't
some enterprising grocer in Richmond devise a
scheme to cooperate with his customers in re-

way to big increase in his business and reduc-

The administration is somewhat
disturbed over the report of the de-
feat of a Carranza force at Chihuahua
by a Villa force Brig.-Gen. Bell re-
ports that Villa led the attack in per-
son, but Secretary of War Baker at
tempts to prove the report is untrue.
OF course it will make considerable
difference with the negotiations with
the Carranza ambassadors at New
London, Conn, if it is true that Car
rama is unable to protect Mexican
cities from plumber and sacking. The
administration attempt to make the
people believe that the attack on
American soldiers at San Ignacio
Texas, by Carranza forces was only
an attack by unorganized cowboys
and its refusal to allow the true re-
ports to be made public weakens its
position in claiming at the present
time that Villa did not beat Carranza':
force at Chihuahua. 1t looks a!
though the administration was trying
to hide the facts from the public il
this Mexican matter the same as i
has concealed the number of Ameri
can citizens murdered in Mexico.

Hughes Hitting Hard.

Charles E. Hughes, republican can
didate for president. has taken the
stump again and is saying things just
as he did on his first swing around
the circle. There had been talk that
he might temper his remarks for the
remainder of the campaign owing to
the democratic defense, but there was
no evidence of it in his speech before
the republican state convention at
Springfield. ILL.,. Tuesday. Here is
what he said regarding the demo
cratic party and it's pledges:
Our opponents present a record of
broken promises. They promised to
reduce the cost Of living. They have
not touched it.
They promised to prevent waste
and extravaganza. They have been
more extravagant in the recent con-
gress. as / am informed on unim-
peachable authority. than any pre-

their rights with respect to life and
property. They have shamelessly
failed to perform that promise
Acts are facts and extravagant
claims cannot deceive the Intelligent
electorate.
our opponents claim they have
clarified the antitrust law by detnl-
ton. I may say here and now that
they have done nothing of the sort.
They claim to have recuperated the
merchant marine. They have done
nothing of the sort.
The federal reserve act, as en-
dorsed by the administration and pre-
sented to congress was wholly un-
workable bill.
Our opponents claim to have eman-
cipated child labor. AS body they
have not emancipated child labor.

extraordinary claim of abby the
passage of the Underwood bill. There

men in hundreds of thousands on the

conception of our opponents Of wha'
| is an aid to American industry. The

An Economy Campaign.

That the coming legislature will
have the opportunity of remodelling
the laws of the state to simplify and
reduce the cost of the state govern
mem becomes more evident as the
different papers call attention to the
conditions now existing. Here are
some startling figures given by the
Burlington Free Press:
1t can not be the people of the
Green Mountain state are twice as
wicked and lawless now as they were
a few years ago. Yet State Treasurer
Scott's annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1916, shows
that the cost of the administration of
Justice in Vermont during the II
months was S417,S76.99 as compared
with S214,SS9.73 in 1908. The doubl-
ing of these expenses is a public
scandal.
We do not know why the depart
ment of weights and measures should
increase from $2,20S in 1911 to $14,-
O46.63 in 1918, and to $12.O9O.S0 in
1916. There is not the slightest ex-
cuse for this.
The Vermont public health depart
ment spent the sum Of $84,669.7S in
one year.
Not many years ago the state
legislature met on the first Wednes-
day in October and followed the lone
established precedent of adjourning
by Thanksgiving. Now the session
drags along a number of months.
For the fiscal year ending June 80
1901, the legislative expenses were
$61.979.83. in 1907, $81,759.19. In
1909 the legislative expenses jumped
to $134,293.SO, in 1911 to $145.794.2O
in 1913 to $19O,577.12, three times as
much as in 1901.
We would suggest to the incoming
legislature that a good place to begiI
is right in their own body and abolish
the large number of extraneous com
mittees. stenographers and othel
hangers on that have gradually beer
added. to each sitting of the legisla
ture. Back when the sessions wer,
short and expenses low no committee
to receive bills before they were in
troduced existed and the revision o
the bills was done by the committee
to which they were referred. Tn
! expensive committee now maintained
has not expedited business and NJ
more perfect laws are turned out b,
the new method than the old.
the next legislature will take hol,
and do it's work for itself, instead o
waiting for employees drawing ia
daily salaries. it will bring abou
some effective economy in the con
duct of state business.
