"An army of 100000 men would

The Rule Didn't Work.

When the great New York newspaper.
flashed their signals across the sky Tues.
day night, announcing their claims or
concessions of the election of Hughes
they were simply playing the game ac-
cording to the rules OF game that has
no rules for invariabe use. At 8 o'clock
on election night New York, New Jersey
and Illinois were known to have decided
in favor OF the Republican candidate,
and in ordinary circumstances this would
have meant that there was a clearly de-
fined drift of sentiment throughout most
of the North sufficiently strong TO sweep
doubtful states into the Hughes column
and make his election certainty 1t
looked like landslide. So the rule was
applied. the announcements were made,
and the men at the newspaper desks set
tied down 10 the routine work of tabu
lsting returns and figuring up the
Hughes majority in the electoral college.
An hour later the fat was in the fire.

APPETITE AND HEALTH

Loss of appetite is a sure sign OF i'll
health.
Those who take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People as tonic inyari-
ably say that their improvement began
with a noticeable increase in the appe-
tite. When you are sick and your Vi
tality is low your appetite fails. Moth
ing tastes good. You take no pleasure
in your meals. Under such circum-
stances good digestion is impossible.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills tone up the
entire system, the blood is enriched
and good red blood is essential to nor
NAL digestion. The glands that secrete
the digestive fluids are strengthened,
not merely stimulated, and you once
more enjoy a good appetite. Looking
forward pleasurably to meal-time isthe
first sign of returning health, strength
and vitality.
What to eat then becomes a problem
and it is solved by the diet book that
the DR., Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, will send you on re-
quest. 1t gives therelative digestibility
OF different foods, gives the proper diet
in various diseases and is handy book
to have.
The price OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt OF price.

The thing wasn't going according to rule
If anything were needed to demon
strste the altogether unusal character of

city of the state and sectional results

ordinary circumstances the old rule

them were clear enough in themselves,
they were clouded by observable facts,
Over against the 1914 business stagna-
ton and unemployment was the 1916 ac.
tiyity and unexampled demand for labor
at attractive wages. The fact of the alb
iect surrender of American rights and
the desertion of American citizens abroad
was obscured by that of country at
peace and with Golfers overlooking. The
shameful yielding under threat, repre-
scented by the passage of the Adamson
law, was Offset by the averting of the
railroad strike and an apparent friendli-
ness towards labor, All these ideas and
things were placed over against others

places with the result that the ordinarily
smooth running machinery, by which the
are worked out upon basis
OF observable tendencies in additionally
pivotal states, was thrown out OF gear.
Whatever the immediate net results of
this curiously divided decision may be,
there is no question that independent
in American politics is desirable
and so we look upon this strange cam
paign and the singular uncertainty as
to it's outcome as containing elements Of
good Even if it be shown in the end
that the majority of the voters has
thought wrong, the demonstration Of the
fact will set them to thinking right, once
they have begun to think and act for
themselves, as individual free men, not
mere partisans. In the long run Amer
lea win be benefited by just such ex
srcise of the right duty of private judg |

turns this year.

Following a conference of the milk
dealers of the city of Barre, the follow
ing prices and conditions have been
adopted by them, to take effect on
Wednesday, Nov IS;
/, The price of milk win be eight
cents quart in quantities of less than
five quarts, seven cents per quart in
quantities over five and under 10 quarts.
65 cents per can in can quantities.

Ice; one-fourth pint, Sc; and not less

3. All customers will be required to

pint for pint and quart for quart.
A. Each milllmans route will be COW
cred only once in "A hours, eliminating
the expensive double delivery system
A number of things have led up to the
adopting of these conditions. Reports
of the dealers show that at present the
margin of profit is not in keeping with
expenses. The higher prices of labor,
material and all commodities have in
creased the cost of delivering milk. Re
ports from several of the towns md
cities of Massachusetts show that it
costs from pa to Az cents per quart
to deliver milk. The recent raise in
price asked for milk by the producers
naturally necessitates an increased cost
to the consumer. The large number of
milk bottles lost by the individual milk
men from one cause and another adds
large item of expense to delivery. This
loss for the most part has been stood
by the milkmen. hence the attempt to
regulate the bottle question by simply
asking the customer TO furnish as much
capacity in bottles as he desires milk.
The custom adopted in this city of de-
livering milk twice a day to the same
consumer adds tremendous item Of ex-
pense to the milkman's business. The
convenience which this method furnishes
to the consumer is very slight indeed.
Barre stands practically alone in this re-
spect, being the only city of its size in
this part of the country where such
method of delivery has been generally
adopted Customers are urged to accept
these regulations in the light in which
they are meant, which is that OF merely
establishing conditions which win be of
mutual benefit 10 fhe producer, milk
