Advertising
Alone
Won't sell goods. If it would
there are stores to-day that do enough
advertising to sell 50 times the
amount of goods they do- There has
got to be something back of the ad
vertisment and something in it beside
wind and big words. There has got
to be truth in it. How often do you
see Shoes advertised, and the prices
guaranteed the "lowest on earth "
Then come in here and see the same
Shoe still lower- It happens every
week. Did you ever see as good shoes
as our $2 ones for less than S3- Have
you ever seen as good Shoes for $1-50
as we are now selling. High prices
will never win trade. We sell our
shoes as cheaply as inferior shoes can
be bought elsewhere-

Suggestions Which Bear Repeating, as
Their Importance is Immeasurable.
CSFEOIAI, TO Otis MDX BXAinHS.
Only a few years ago even the medical
profession scouted the idea that young
girls could suffevf rom the misery of uterus
troubles.
That form of disease, it was claimed,
rme only to married women.
When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whoso practice and opinions she set at
defiance. .
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia E. Fink
liam's Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
It . robs them of the buoyancy of youth.
It makes all effort distasteful.
It causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhoea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought to begin treatment at once.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the sorest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. It
will accomplish its work with certainty.

A LECTURE ON PHRENOLOGY.
Mr Bronson of East Kent, lectured at
the Center schoolhouse on Friday even
ing on phrenology to 80 or 90 and waa
listened to with marked attention. He
examined two heads at the close of hia
lecture, Mr Catlin, teacher of the Center
school, and Mr Schnell, secretary of the
Grange. It afforded some amusement.
The lecturer has studied the subject with
considerable care and many of bis illus
trations were forcible and the incidents
related pertinent. He spoke of Gall, the
celebrated phrenologist, born in;i758 and
who died in 1S28. He was a physician
and attracted much attention by his an
atomical and physiological inquiries re
specting the brain and nerves. He set
tled in Berlin, but afterwards traveled
and delivered lectures and in 1807 es
tablished himselfjin Paris. Matternich,
the great diplomat, consulted him as
bis physician. He died at Paris 1828, di
recting that no clergyman should at
tend his funeral and that his head should
be dissected and placed in the jnuseum
he. had collected. Whether the venera
tion was large or small it is not said, bnt
it would seem that while this faculty is
to direct to the Divine Being, he did not
favor that class of men whose duty it is
to present to their fellowmen the charac
ter of God. Combe on the Constitution
of Man (George Combe) says nnder ven
eration, "I assume here, that Phrenol
ogy enables us to demonstrate the ex
istence of God." George Combe wrote
his Constitution of Man the same year
that Dr John Joseph Gall died. Spnrry
heim(Gaspard) was a distinquished phy
siologist and becoming acquainted with
Dr Gall, the founder of phrenology, be
came exceedingly partial to this science,
and joined Gall. He lectured in En
gland, Scotland and Ireland and then
came to thia country and died in 1832,
four yeara after Gall. He ia said to
have been a man of rare benevolence
and integrity. Here endeth the first
lesson.
CHURCH INTERESTS.
Rev B. M. Wright of Kent exchanged
with Mr Gardner on Sunday and inter

ministers in our pulpits. "How pleas
ant it is for brethern to dwell together
in harmony." The Sabbath was almost
a perfect autumnal day, autumn, indeed,
as the fallen leaves indicate.
We spoke of the funeral of Miss Mary
Everett in our last. A delegation came
from Torrington of about a dozen. Rev
Mr Rippere, pastor of the Methodist
church, was present and took part in the
services at the house and church. His

The program consisted of a debate, the
subject being "Resolved that the govern
ment control of railroads, and municipal
control of street railways, gas, water, is
preferable to private corporations."
The subject was well handled, Mr Blrge
of Greenfield Hill leading the affirmative
and Henry Blakeman of Oronoqne the
negative. The committee decided that
the weight of argument was with the
negative. After a recitation by Miss
Letty Sagendorf, State Lecturer Hopson
of Wallingf ord made a short address on
Grange work in the state. The program
