WHO OAMMOT BE CURED. Backed up by over a third of a century f remarkable and uniform cures, a record euch as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair aud reasonable trial of their means of cure. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world fritted remedy ever placed to the credit of any prepara tion especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. A beautiful Georgia ladv, Vice-President ot the East Kud Palmetto Clul), of Savannah, and prominent aocially there, relates the following experience: "You certainly have produced the finest medicine for suffering women that is to be had in the country. I want to recommend it especially to mothers. I was seventeen venrs old when my darling boy was born. Kelt very exhausted and weak for a long time, aud it seemed I could not get my strength back. My sister in-law bought me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (after I had tried several of the other remedies which are so much ad vertised, and found no relief ). I had little faith in the medicine at the time and was so weak and sick that I felt discouraged, but within a week after 1 had commenced taking your ' Pre scription' I was like a different woman. New life and vitality seemed to come with each suc ceeding day, until, in a few weeks, I was in tine health, and a happy, hearty woman. My boy is now two years old, and, thauks to your splen did medicine, I am enjoying perfect health. If at any time I feel tired or in need of a tonic, a few doses of your ' Favorite Prescription ' re cuperates me at once. My address is No. 511 Jones Street, East, Savannah. Ga. Mrs. Susie Williams.

As a business proposition which would you rather do, run a saloon in Bellows Falls and pay a license fee of $750 or one in North AValpole and pay 300? The Vergennes Enterprise thinks Ye: raont lias become thoroughly Cainized, It says: "Vermont has ceased to be the guardian of the tippler; he must take care of himself and keep sober. Other wise he pays the piper." They are counting the drinks up in Burlington. Licensed saloons were opened May 1 and it is reported that during the first day a single saloon on Church street made 1115 sales, and yet there can be no abnormal thirst in Burlington for all the world knows that there lias always Leen saloons enough there. The saloon interests in Keene have a shrewd way of doing tilings according to the Keene Sentinel which says: "All the saloons and clubs rooms in the city were closed up tight Saturday morning for an indefinite period, as a result, apparently, of an understanding arrived at by the proprietors. It is said that the object is to make the town so 'dry' that all who wish for beer or other liquors will vote for license May 12." Keene will never be able to weather a two weeks' dry spell. There has been a noticeable increase of arrests for drunkenness in Montpelier since licensed barrooms were opened. This increase is explained by the Argus in this way: "Under the new law, when a man gets drunk in Montpelier he is ar rested without waiting for him to make a disturbance. Under the old law if a man could get along the streets without causing trouble he was not molested and it was the usual custom to send a drunk en man home if possible instead of ar resting him. The increase of arrests is due to changed policy. There has been no notable increase in the amount of drunkenness." One reads of peculiar things in con nection with labor troubles. Striking hack drivers in New Haven, Conn., last week caused trouble for a funeral pro cession. This was what the' news dis patches said: "Striking hack drivers in terfered with a funeral and caused the procession of carriages to stop several times on Grand avenue, on the way from St. Patrick's church to the cemetery. Four of the cariiages in the line were driven by non-union men, while the oth ei, hacks were driven by union men, whose employers have signed the work ing schedule demanded by the union. The people in the non-union carriages, among whom were two members of labor organizations, refused at first to comply with the strikers' demand that they er. ter other carriages, but after repeated stoppages of the line of carriages and a threat on the part of the union drivers not to continue if the non-union drivers remained in the line, the occupants of the non-union hacks got into other car riages." Even the dead have the:r troubles, and if strife continues the corpse may have to walk to the grave. New Hampshire people are just be ginning to realize what manner of li cense law they are living under. The Keene Sentinel brushes the cobwebs from its glasses to remark: "There has been an impression, evidently without good foundation, that in a license town or city the state license commissioners could limit the number of licenses, could say who should and who should not take out licenses, and could select the loca tions for saloons. There was therefore some surprise at the announcement that the license commissioners will rule that they have 00 right to limit the number of licenses in a town or city, and that anyone will receive a license who asks for it and who fulfills the condition of the law. The license fees for saloons under the new law are: In Keene, 5-100; in Walpole, 5300; in all other towns in Spring Medicine There ia no other season when good medicino Is so much needod as in the Spring. Tho blood is Impuro, weak and impoverished a condition indicated by pimples and other eruptions on the face and body, by deficient vitality, loss of appotito, lack of strength, and want of animation.

"Hood's Sarsaparilla has been used In our family for some time, and always with, good results. Last spring I was all run down and got a bottle of It, and as usual received great benefit." Miss Beclah Boy ce, Stowe, Vt. i Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to euro and keeps the promise. Cheshire county, 5200. Nor will the commissioners have any thins to say about the location of a saloon so long as it is not in the districts forbidden by law. If a town votes for license May 12 it will be .a wide open license community. On the other hand, if a town votes for no license it will be a restricted license community, for even then licenses will be issued to hotels, drug stores, haid ware stores and depot restaurants for certain restricted purposes. The ques tion is therefore between restricted and wide open license." Board of Trade Meeting Tonight. The semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trade will be held in Banquet hall this evening. There will be a free lunch and smoke talk and all members are urged to be present as an important question is coming up for decision. The question will be the adoption or the re jection of the proposition of a remod eled depot as submitted by the railroads centering at Bellows Falls. This prop osition was given iu full in last week's issue of this paper. If the Board of Trade votes to accept the proposition the depot as outlined would probably be re modeled during the coming year. If the proposition is turned down the only hope of the community depends on what the railroad directors may decree after a full hearing. This depot question is one. that vitally effects the community and deserves and will no doubt get care ful consideration at the hands of the Board of Trade. A New City Hall. A special corporation meeting has been called for next Monday evening. The report of the committee on a new building to be located 011 the present site of engine' hall will be heard and action taken there on. We understand that this committee has plans and esti mates based on an expenditure of about 515,000. If the report of the committee is favor able and the p'ans seem feasible, we be lieve that the village ought to vote to greet the new building this summer. The growth of any village the size of Bellows Falls is slow, and old and un sightly buildings remain much too long. Municipal progress, like progress of any other kind is made a step at a time, and it seems the proper time now to take an other step in advance by tearing down the old, unsightly, inadequate bui!ding which has served for a jail and engine hall for many years, and erecting in its place a new city hall which will Any boy who reads this ad vertisement can start in business on his own ac count selling The Saturday Evening Post No money re quired.

No grmt movement like that of trade unionism can long escape the crank and his ciank idea. ()f come the crank and his ideas in way effect the merits of the movement, hut they often tend to put it in a ridiculous and false light. We notice in a nent issue of a trade paper that "Herbert N. Casson, founder of the first labor church in the United States, recently took verse found in Mat tliew5:10, llles.ed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake' for tlie suliii et of remarks." So we already have a labor cl uicli. The old church that Christ established is not good enough. Jiut what did Brother Casson talk about? After showing that his text cannot upply to the Christian church he continues, according to the report: Who. then, N ii"ing the lighting;? Who is hRiiio pprsi'ci.i"d in these clays "for riahteonsiess' sake?" What class of people is being abused in the daily pa pers anil persecuted oy the injunctions of the courts, and imprisoned without cause by the officers of the law? Is it not the trafle unionists? Are not they the ones who are seeking to establish righteousness, or 1 ightne.ss, in the busi ness world of today? And are tin-v not enduring the greater part of the opposi tion from those who are making millions out of the injustices of the present in dustrial system'.' Very few people are aware of the extent to wlmh the trade unionists are being persecuted by the trusts and the machinery of the courts., W .0 cares if a few scores of workingmen more or less are in jail, or if a few thou sand more or less are in the depths of poverty'.' If Senator Hoar were to be gagged by an injunction and threatened with imprisonment if he disregarded it, because he hail denounced the atrocities that have been committed in the Philii puies, there would be an earthquake of indignant protest that would shake the country. If Lyman Abbott had been evicted from his home when he declared that every workingman should be a member of a union, he would be lauded as a martyr to the truth and his friends would at once erect for him a $50,000 house. But when a body of working people suffer for the cause of justice, no one pays much attention to them. They are only linn anity in bulk. What do a few hunger pains more or less mat ter to those who have been all their lives on the danger line of poverty? So it is not too much to say that trade unionism can lay claim to the blessing pronounced by Christ on all who suffer for the right. My opinion is that Saint Peter will give a back seat in the next world to every man who cannot show a paid-up union can'. Poor old Saint Peter! We fear Brother Casson has mapped out a course of ac tion that will require more than an eight hour day. The Local Drink Situation. Sf The advocates of license have strenu ously insisted that the adoption of license laws in Vermont and New Hamp shire would reduce both drunkenness and the amonnt of liquors consumed. They insisted more strenuously before the laws were adopted than they have since. Let us examine the nrobabilities here in Bellows Falls for a moment. On the A'.ermont side there will be five or six licensed places doing business with a feverish impatience to wipe out the license fee and the cost of the bar room furnishings in order to begin piling up profits; and as m .ny unlicensed places as can escape the vigilance of the com missioners and the police. A citizen in a position to know all the facts says that up to two years ago comparatively little liquor was sold in Bellows Falls over bars, and that during the past two years a large percent of what has been sold has been beer. Does any sane, thinking man believe for a moment that under the new conditions a lesser amount of liquors will be consumed than under former con ditions? Vhether drunkenness and in temperance will increase remains to be seen. Of course we shall always have with us the man who makes a hog of himself, and so far as he is concerned it makes no difference what kind of a law is on the statute books. Will the ranks of the confirmed drunkard be swelled by recruits from the great body of citi zens who are neither total abstainers nor guzzlers? That is a vital question. In other words will the men of the commu nity be as temperate in their drink habits when open bars stocked with all kinds of liquors are easy of access as when obtaining liquors was attended with in convenience and discomfort ? And how about the situation across the river in Walpole? Some have thought that the number of drinking places there under license would be lessened, perhaps from six to ten to two Not so. Anyone in New Hampshire who has the price can secure a license, and some citizens of North Walpole expect that the number of saloons will increase rather than diminish. The Manchester, N. II., Mirror recent ly contained an editorial which was sup posed to be inspired, in-as-much as Mr. Little, the chairman of the New Hamp shire commission is engaged to be mar ried to Editor Putney's daughter. Here is one thing that the editorial said: There was so much talk during tin pendency of the license law about tl autocratic powers it conferred upon the state commissioners that the idea that they were to say how many licenses were to be granted and who should have them became so firmly embedded in some people's minds that it is difficult to get it out, but there is nothing in the law as we read it to warrant any such belief. If the law means what it says the co it mission is obliged to issue a license, for a city or town that votes for license, to any man over 21 years of age who has not been convicted of a felonv, if he applies. f,,r one, pays the legal 'fee and " auiianie ooiut. The board may sav to him. "Vr,,, ni ..... 1 i. , - ....

The police and the .commissioners will earn their sala ries, and if the village votes to build a new city hall it might ba well to mo. vide for an extra cell or two in the cooler department, not to accommodate local parties, but boozers front surrounding towns who are sure to float in and tarry too long over their cups. After all the only temperance wortiiy of the name is the temperance of the individual. We are told that out of the heart are the issues of life. The man who is temperate because he has always been kept in a glass bottle and front con tact with temptation is not made of stern enough stuff to develop the best citizen ship. - l ' Strict Enforcement of the New Law. The increased number of arrests for drunkenness in the various towns in Vermont in which the new license law has become operative and saloons opened, is explained by the friends of the law on the ground that the officers are more strict in making arrests than formerly. It is urged that there is no more drunkenness than heretofore. Every law-abiding citizen hopes that this is true. But time will tell. The new law is on its best behavior now. If peo pie have noticed any increased drunken ness thus far, the future certainly looks dark. as 10 wnetuer omeers are more prompt in arresting drunks under the present law than under prohibition, the pioplewill judge. Certainly if condi tions are as satisfactory, if the commun ity is as sober, if arrests or necessity of arrests are as lew, as under the former law.no one will have cause to complain. It has been noteworthy in the past that a high standard of conduct has prevailed in most Vermont towns. In Rutland a man would not be tolerated on the streets or in public places for a moment in a condition that would not be given any attention in the border towns of New York where the officers and people are hardened or oblivious to drunkenness, so common is it. So we say that if the standard of con duct in the past is strictly maintained. if arrests for drunkenness are no more frequent, if disorderliness is no greater than heretofore, the people will have some patience with the new law: other wise they will not. But this should be marked: Under the present law the standard of conduct has not been raised; nor will it be. It is most ridiculous to claim so. The most that can be hoped tor is that there will be no retrogression. On this phase of the operation of the new law the Barre Telegram, a thick-and-thin advocate of license, says: "The increased number of arrests in those towns that already have licensed saloons sounds pad for the new law, but it is rather a matter of congratulation that the 'new regime' has more vigilant au thorities and they are bound to show the world that it does not pay for a man to get drunk under any kind of a law. The rigid enforcement of the law in Montpe lier is serving as a good warning to those who are wont to believe they can stow away the booze faster than the manufac turers can supply it. "It is to be expected that there are many rowdies in Vermont who thought the local option law was passed for the special purpose of granting them a li cense to get gloriously drunk whenever they so desire. It will naturally take several weeks to bring this class of men 'down to earth' and educate them to the true condition, but it must be done un der stern discipline in causing the arrest of every man who is found intoxicated. "There should be no subterfuge about the new law. Let it stand upon its own merits. If we shield any of its bad feat tures from the public gaze, the evils will thrive and multiply until we have a more disgusting system than we had before. Maintain an honest management and public opinion of its own accord will crush out the evils. Nothing will be gained by hesitancy in arresting a drunk en man on the ground that his arrest will cast discredit upon the license law." Kutland News.
