And, later on, when the disease is firjnly fixed, you can bring rest and comfort in every case. A 25 cent bottle will cure new coughs and colds; the 50 cent size is better for settled coughs of bronchitis and weak lungs; the one dollar size is more economical for chranic cases and con- sumption.

It bas been known for some time in political circles that Governor Roosevelt contemplated a change in the forest com- mission with the expiration of the terms of the present commissioners in April. This has been recently voiced in many of the newspapers of the State,some of them, which are politically opposed to the gov- ernor and lose no opportunity of liurttng anathema* agaiust him because of bis in- dependence of action which has won him great, strength with the people of the State, faking this as a text for a diatribe of abuse of his intentions. Tbe Albany Argus, which loses no opportunity of pat- ting a false construction upon the gover- nor's honest and worthy motives, the oth- r day gave tltteranee to a screed un- worthy of so weil-eondneted a newspaper. It dwelt upon the rumor that the gover- nor would select Hou. William T. O'Neil as one of the commissioners, or if a single commissioner should be provided by law in the place of the present commission, that Mr. O'Xeil would be selected as sacb commissioner, and in that connection tried to make it appear that the matter was solely one of personal favoritism un der the guise of atr-rrapwrerawstr in the service 4 , and that Mr. O'Neil is tbe super- intendent of a lumber company which desires to receive ianda from tbe State, with the implied sequence that Mr. O'Neii could be tfsed for purposes unworthy tbe man who should hold so important a ly adepted~a new plan in regard to the management of its poor. Some time ago it was determin- ed that it was costing too much to keep the poor of the town and it was voted to give the overseer of the poor a salary and make him sknply a disbursing age.a£^and the supervisorSfeas directed to buy sup- plies at whoie^alJe and tarn them over to the overseer. The result is that during the month of January, the totajL^xpense of keeping the poor of the town, including the salary of the overseer, will be within $100, while last year the expense was over $200 a month for the entire year. Of course the account will be much lighter outside of the winter months, and Canton is much pleased over the working of the experiment.

C, says: \ Granting that all pathogenic germs in the dough are destroyed by baking, and that the bread comes from the oven practically sterile, the loaves after cooling are packed in the wagons by the drfrer. and are later placed by him fa the grocer's box, taken out and packed in a bin or stacked on a counter, handled oy customers, and finally, perhaps care- lessly wrapped before they oome in the posses- sion of the consumer. When you consider the possibilities of contamination you will allow that there ts abundant opportunity for infection after baking. The remedy for this danger is the wrap- ping of each loaf as soon as It ceols,*' If ladies will ask for bread wrapped in waxed papers, that are absolutely dust and water proof, they will do much toward bringing about an adoption of this health-protecting article, la these days of close trade competition, customers, whose trade Is desirable, can obtain from tradespeople any article of use they may wlflh, and in a matter where health and cleanli- ness are involved there can be no excuse for the ladfeswiiobuv bakers' bread not calling for it protected In the abore-named manner, inasmuch m It does not cost the consumer more per loaf. Bread so wrapped not only is kept from all contamination, bot is raMverved thereby in a moist and edible condition fora much longer period of time without becoming \ystale.\ Taylor's Family Bakery, R. C. TAYLOB, Prop, SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Miss Erminie Scaalon, is visiting re- it ions in Plattsburgb, N. Y. for a few a\ s. Miss Maude Mae Fletcher, of Owl's Head, visited friends in rowu a few days last week. Loren DonaldsoQ^apf North,Bangor, has been s*pendi»g the winter in New York and Albany. T«3 TMTe TISaeberr of \XTpTensfiufg is visiting her sister, Mrs. Fred Gillett, on Edward street. Mr=. L C. Wead, of Brookline, Mass.. visiting: at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Belding aad other friends in town. Miss May Badger has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Josiah Ide, at Ft. Covington, for the past two weeks. Miss Lillian Maynard,of Burlington, Vt., has accepted a position with Symonds & Allison in their candy department. Miss Clara Glazier, of Owl's Head, who* until lately has been a resident of Lake Placid, has returned home. Hon. John P. Badger\ went to Albany Monday to try an\ important case there •osition. We have reason to believe that the ar- ticle was inspired by persons claiming to be in sympathy with the present Repub- lican administration, but whose interests would not be eon8erved by Mr. O'Neil's appointment. If the governor is seriously considering bis name (and a boat of genu- 'ne friends of bis administration and of tbe forests sincerely hope that he is and will not be moved from his coarse by false newspaper clamor) it is because be has summered and wintered with the man and knows his splendid ability and integ- rity, and not because of the ioug existing friendship between them. The governor knows Mr. O'Neil so well that he must feel that he could rely upon him in every emergency to take only that course as an official \winch\ wouldT>est\cdhserve 'Efie in ; terests of the entire State. He is not now the superintendent of any lumber\ com- pany and has no interests to serve which are inimical to the State forests. On the contrary, he bas lived so long in the im- mediate neighborhood of the Aditondacks and has been so familiar with the practi- cal workings of the lumber industry chat he of all-men is juet the one who knows what can best be done to prevent the de- struction of the forests and to preserve them as a permanent resource and bene- fit to ail the people of the State. The State is beginning to see that the ripe timber of the Adiroudacks sboujd not be allowed to go to waste, nor present industries ruined by the free cutting of unripe forests. The adoption of a system of practical forestry is the only way in which the Adirondack woods can be pre- served and made valuable for all the fu- ture. Tbis is in line with the recom mendations of Profs. Fernow and Roth,of the Cornell school, and no man in this State knows better what can and what carmot safely be done than William T. O'Xeil. He combines the practical woods- man, the student and tbe Statesman in unusual degree, and we who know his un- yielding integrity, hope and pray that the rumored purpose of the governor may be fulfilled. Tbe Farmer has been a constant and faithful advocate of forest protection and scientific forestry for the past ten years, and believes that with Mr. O'Neil at the helm we would soon reach this greatly desired and necessary consummation. Notwithstanding the yearly increase i the State's holdings tbe forests are fast fading away, even in the very heart of the State park,so called, for miteh of the land is still held by private owners. We have become satisfied that tbis problem will never be mastered by the present commis- sion, else some definite action would long ago have b* en taken. Mr. O'Neil needs no eulogistic recommendation to the gov ernor nor to any of his acquaintan,ces. He is a man of large calibre, wide observation and a thorough student of poliitcal econ- omy. Whatever problem falls to his hand will be intelligently solved and honestly carried out, whether in private or public life. If the governor should appoint kim, the people would be assured at the outset an intelligent, just and wise admioT tion of forest affairs. The Benniugton & Rutland Railway Company has passed under the control of the Rutland Railroad company, and tbe consolidation and transfer will soon be effected. President Clement, of the Rut- land railroad, has contracted to purchase the entire stock of the Bennington & Rut- land, The step is regarded, as a shrewd business \move and one by which both roads and the patrons of each will be benefited. Among the advantages point- ed oat is the fact that the transfer brings the railroad system of Western Vermont into closer touch with the New York Cen tml. Upon: the completion of the con necting link it will give a through pas- senger route from New York to Mon- treal. It also gives the company » through Western connection, over the line of tbe Rutland Transit company, O. &L. C, Rutland-Canadian, the Rutland via Bellows Falls, and the Cheshire and Fitch burg, to Boston and the East,-and over the Bennington & Rutland to New York and the South. Two Potsdam men who attended tbe races at Massena recently drove home, a distance of twenty miles, with the front wheels of their buggy on the rear axles and the larger ones in front without dis- covering the difference. They went home in broad daylight and when people along tbe road asked them which way they were going they didn't seem to realize what was meant and passed innocently along. A couple of friends wishing to play a joke on them had changed the wheels. They claim to have drank nothing stronger than spring water. OUR NEIGHBORS.

While the new company offer a somewhat cheaper rate it is argued that many of the business men would be obliged to put in both instruments, thus adding expense instead of reducing it. Many Malone business men have found this to be true. The proprietor of a restaur'&nt in Gouv- irneur named Dorr tried to commit sui- cide last week.

BAflfi BALL, With the exception of completing the guarantee subscription to $300, base ba; matters will be <jniet in Malone for some time. Manager ©ray will give his atten- tion to getting \ lines \ on certain prom ising players in t FrankHH ao«l St. Law- rence counties and as the *priug season opens will ket?p his eye on the work of the college pitchers, some one ot' which will furnish Malone a twirler. The Potsdam correspondent of the OK- densburg Journal tellsof asebeme«oorgan- ize a new league. «omposed x>t teams rep- resenting Watefiown, Gouverntur, Pots- dam, Carthage $fed Massena.

The re quest of Mr. Campbell, who claimed to represent tbe'.patrons and supporters of the national g«o>e at Gourern^ar. »taat he be allowed to\ engage a team of profes- sional ball players, to represent bis t<?wu in the league, the other members* of which,, with the exception of Malones one pitcher, bind themselves to play only players wno are residents of the two counties is entirely unreasonable and would be in direct violation of tbe spirit which prompted the formation of the association. Mr. Campbell's statement at the league meeting that \be ws« in the business for-money solely, win or DO: win,\ will not meet with the approval of the loveja oi tb« national game in thi* section and we doubt its reeeiviog the unanimous sanction of his fellow to wo- men. Gouveroeur should cheerfully \ fa'. 1 in line \ on the same footing a? th<f othtr members of the league and we belies will eventually do so. As to a aecond team at P<y>dam w • have no fears that the ciriz^n- ot ;ha: \bargh^will care to support » profession al hail team—and professional it won id have to W-^-so long al such an excellent amateur',team r*prAeota her s* wiii be -• gotten together by Manager Dowsey. liasaena will do well to think twice be (ore jumping into profqfeioaal b*ae bail by jcialng the league proposed.
