TO TIL
AMERICAN
PEOPLE

The chief cause of the i'll
health of the American people is
Constipation. If the waste of
the body is not properly dis
posed of daily, indigestion must
result. When there is indiges-
ton there is an improper ASST
milation of food, loss of flesh,
and in time a general rundown
condition affecting the whole
nervous system and often caus-
ing disease of various organs.
The American Little Liver
Tablet is the "Best General
Regulator" They act as
general tonic to the stomach
and bowels; nature is simply
aided in doing her work proper
ly and good health results. They
are purely vegetable. Dose:
One or two at night as needed.
In case of chronic constipation,
one half to one glass of hot
water, night and morning is
helpful.
The American Throat Tablet
(improved) have been carefully
compounded to meet the general
demand for a general throat
tablet, to be dissolved in the
mouth for hoarseness, sore
throat, tonsilitis, coughs and
colds. AS children cannot gar
gle, and the American Throat
Tablet is as palatable as candy,
it is the remedy par excellence
for them. They are helpful to
the stomach and cannot be sur
passed as a preparation to be
kept in the house at all times.
Directions: Dissolve one in
mouth every hour or two as
needed. Small children one
fourth to one-half tablet.

SIMS WARNS AGAINST
INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

NEWPORT. r. l., Nov. 19-
Rear Admiral William S. Sims, in
delivering his annual address as
President of the Naval war col
lege to its graduating class of
officers today, discussed military
conservatism referring, he said,
specifically to that type and degree
of conservatism (which so often
has been responsible for defeat in
battle and some times for national
disaster. After quoting from his
tory to show that there has al
ways been resistance to new wea-
pons and methods of warfare he
said, "The rapid development of
the submarine and the airplane
during the war and the continuous
development of both and especially
the latter since the war has shown
that these powerful weapons arc
still in their infancv, that great
possibilities of development are
clearly in sight, and that it will re-
quire the most careful, devoted,
and logical consideration on our
part even to keep abreast of the
development in foreign navies,
much less to anticipate these de-
velopments."
The disposition on the mart of
our navy at once to utilize new
ideas weapons and methods of dem
onstrated value, the admiral
said, had been "due to habit
of mind that could be INDUCED in
the past with comparative safety
but which is manifestly danger
to a country that has become in
volved in international rolitics
and whose policies are likely to be
disputed by other powers"

5000 MILES
FROM COAST
TO COAST
Stanleys Return Thursday
From Their TranscOn-
tinental Tour

"Never again." said Mrs. Char
les A. Stanley, twill I travel
by rail. l am ready to go
anywhere anytime in an automo-
bile as that is the only way to see
the country. And Mr.. Stanley
seconded the motion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley returned
THURSDAY night from the Pacific
coast, having travelled 5000 miles
in their Oldsmobile roadster 1916
model, and camping out every
night on their trip until they
reached Pennsylvania about ten
days ago. Their last stop was at
the home of their son at Glen
Cove Long Island. "Ted" offered
to have the car overhauled for the
coming season and the parents
decided to leave the car there
and came home by train.
The roadster covered practically
5000 miles. The westbound trip
was made in 38 days the Stanleys
leaving st. Johnsbury on Aug. l
and reaching Sacramento the sec
ond week in September. The re-
turn trip was made in 45 days.
The Stanleys had a daily mileage
Of about 100 miles, their longest
run in one day being los miles.
Of course the car had it's bad
days, but it pulled through" and
will be ready next spring for any
kind of a trip The tires got punc-
tured, the radiator leaked and Mr..
Stanley had one collision but all
these incidents were the usual
occurrences of most any trip, short
or long, and detracted in no ways
from the success of their great ad-
venture.
There was such humorous
touch to their collision near Lar
annie Wyo.. that it's we'll worth
telling. Mr. Stanley was driving
at pretty good speed on the bou-
levard just out of Laramie when
a Ford truck driven by a colored
gentleman came in from a side
street so quickly that a collision
was inevitable. The Ford came
out second best in the collision and
the st. Johnsbury car took off one
of the front wheels of the Ford
and some other parts of the car.
When Mr.. Stanley stopped his car
and went back to the wreck he
found the colored man living under
the car with his head trigging the
other front wheel. There was no
sngns of life and Mr.. Stanley be-
gan to think he would have TO
resume his old profession. After
shaking the darkie he came to
himself, rose up and began to
stretch himself.
care you hurt, said Mr.. Stan
ley. And to this reply there was
onlv grunt.
"What do you want?" said Mr..
Stanley.
"Tell the folks down there,
said the coon pointing to some
shacks.
Mr.. Stanlev took him to his
home in his Oldsmobile and before
leaving him said,
"Anything more that l can do
for you?"

SAYS SENATOR
DILLINGHAM;
HOLDS UP BILL
LamOille Farmers Wire
Him to Support Capper-
VOlstead Act

Vigorous. condemnation of the
apparent "holding up" by Senator
Dillingham; of the Capper-Volstead
bill, providing for freedom of
farmers to organize for co-opera-
tive marketing, was expressed at
the meeting of the Lamoille dis
trict of the New England Milk
Producers association meeting at
the town hall in Morrisville Tues
day afternoon. After stirring ad-
dress by Richard Pattee, manag-
director of the association, the
farmers voted unanimously to send
a telegram to Senator Dillingham;
stating that the passage of the bill
was for the direct interest of his
constituents and demanding that
he not only stop obstructing its
passage but take such action as he
could to secure its speedy enact
ment into law.
Resolutions were also passed ur-
ging the passage of the Voight bill
which would forbid inter- State
traffic in filled milk, and the dairy
tariff schedule as presented by the
New England dairy tariff commit
tee. This schedule places 10 cents
duty on butter, 312 cents per gal
lon on milk, Is cents per gallon on
20 per cent cream and five cents
additional on each five per cent
additional in the butter fat content
Mr.. Pattee explained how reso-
luton adopted by Franklin coun-
ty local of the association last year
resulted in national movement
for an adequate tariff on dairy pro-
ducts.
Mr.. Pattee stated that if the
supply of Canadian cream could be
stopped every quart of milk which
is now classed as surplus milk in
New England would be needed to
produce cream and there would be
no need to turn any into butter or

WOMAN JOKES
AS SHE TAKES
FATAL POWDER
Mrs. Peter LedOuX OF
Newport Takes Deadly
Poison

Mrs Peter Ledoux died Friday
forenoon or accidental poisoning.
Taking a small vial from her
pocket she swallowed part of the
contents and died in less than five
minutes.
DR.. G. F. Adams, who was has
tily summoned, gave it as his
opinion that the poison was cyan
ide of potassium but will send the
powder to Burlington for analysis.
Mrs. Ledoux was at the home
of Mrs. Louis Buskey on West
Main street, where she had gone
to work for the day but Mrs.
Buskey decided to postpone the
washing and asked if Mrs. Ledoux
would do mending instead which
she consented to do.
The two women and neighbor
were sitting together working
when Mrs. Ledoux, taking small
vial from her pocket, said she
would treat her friends. Mrs. Bus
key laughingly remarked, "If IL is
as small a bottle as that we don't
want any,"
She poured some Of the powder
into her hand and swallowed it.
Almost as soon ssi she had taken
it, she called for a drink of salt
and water Mrs. Buskey gave her
the drink of water saving "What
have you DONE. Mrs. Ledoux took
one swallow. and saying 81 don't
know what it was" lapsed into un-
consciousness, and died in d few
moments.
Dir. G. F. Adams. who was has
tily called found life extinct upon
his arrival. No theory is advanced
as to how she came into possession
of the poison.

Gwen PIPE OF
SITTING BULL


Aberdeen, s. D., May 24.-The
famous old pipe Of peace Of the
Indian chisf. Sitting Bull. has bate
y been presented TO the state his
toricel socisty By H c. Pryor Of
The Aberdeen Normal school.
On the stem Of the relic, burned
or linked into the wood II the auto-
graph Of the warrior. The bowl Of
the pipe Il Of pink sandstone from
the quarries at Pipestone. Mimi
The stem IL about twenty inches
long and Is Of ash wood. The pipe
was traded to Mr.. Pryor's father.
I. D. Pryor, now a resident of Los
Angeles, by Sitting Bull. at Camp
Crook in 1887 for blanket.
There was some argument. !
believe about the autograph" ex-
planned Mr.. Pryor. "The old chief
thought he should have extra COM
bensation besides the blanket for
It. 1t seems that his name was
about the only thing Sitting Bull
could write in English and he was
very proud of it.
The story goes that Sitting Bull
had Just been released from prison
at Fort Randall and was making
his way northward to the reserva-
ton. Always ready to pick up a
few dollars, he stopped off at
Pierre, S. D.. and started a -four
ishing business selling his auto
graphed cards at 81 each. Some
one induced him to step into the
telegraph Office there and write his
name on a number OF harmless
looking message blanks. The In
dams anger rose to white heat
when he discovered that carbon
had been inserted between several
sheets under the one on which he
wrote"
Doane Robinson, South Dakota
state historian, says numerous pipes
reputed to have been the pipe of
peace" of Sitting Bull have been
offered for sale, but he is obliged
to believe that the one which Mr..
Pryor has just represented to the
state is the genuine one. The au-
tograph on the pipe is exactly the
same as appears on the cards the
chief sold in Pierre, it is said.

Simple Way to Get
Rid of Blackheads

There is one simple, safe and cure way
that never fails to get rid of blackhesds
and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calonito
powder from any drug store sprinkle
little on a hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blackheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads. little
biackheads, no matter where they are, SIM
ply dissolve and disappear. leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads arc simpy a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores of the skin. Pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation. make
large pores and do not get them out after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads 20 they vash right out. leaving tho
pores froe and clean and in their natural
condition. Anyone troubled with these
unsightly blemishes should certainly try
this simple method.-(Adv.).
