Vermont has lost one of its most
picturesque characters in the sudden
death of John H. Sedter. He had
served in many public positions and
was one Of the war horses of the Dem
ocratic party in the state. He could
use words that cut like a rapier, as
some of the delegates at the last Dem
ocratic state convention have reason to
remember.

Each 50-cent bottle (Mr. Root sells

medicine that is pleasant to take and
which can be depended upon to cure
the worst case of constipation, dyspep-

medicine that he says: eff DR.. How

from experience that it will make a

MCCALL Signs Liquor Bill.

In Massachusetts, Gov. Mccall has
crowned the efforts Of years by the
temperance forces; he has signed the
bill prohibiting the transportation Of
liquor by licensed dealers from IL
cense community into a no license city
or town. Long has the labor for this
end continued. Last year a similar
measure passed the legislature and was
vetoed by Gov. walsh. with all the
LIQUOR interests on his back. The act
is now a law and becomes operative
June 2. It reads as follows:
No person, firm or corporation holding
q license Of any Of the first five classes
for the sale Of spirituous or intoxicating
for delivery in. or deliver such liquors in,
q city or town in whic licenses Of the
flrst i've classes for the sale Of intoxicat-
INF LIQUORS srs not g granted; areS;.,o,, ~ mi.
sSsn s s1 IS nor no more than 500 for each Of.

shall become null and void.
We paid our respects to Gov. Walsh
at the time of his veto and predicted
that tho people would eventually get"
him, and the Boston wholesalers. the
brewers and distillers as we'll. With
out question tho law will be violated
and sneered at and abused. because all
laws that interfere with the personal
liberty. OF the liquor interests are
vIotaxed ana snered at and lied about.

All over New England are mothers
with small families and large families
who have to keep constant watch
over the welfare and health of their
children. If you wanted to know
what these mothers do to keep their
children we'll and strong, a canvass of
these homes would tell you that many
mothers agree that Il. F." Atwood's
Medicine IS the best remedy for the
common ills of childhood. Before the
public for over sixty years, this reli-
able remedy, with its old fashioned
virtues, has won its way into thou
sands Of homes, and wise mothers use
it whenever they see their children in
need of something for their stomachs,
bowels, liver or blood. A medicine
that is prompt and thorough, and per-
fectly safe for children to take.
