Van Etten, PUBLISHER, Mllford, Pike Connty, Pa The Dispatch last week comment Ing on the result of the Borough election says 'although the demo crats polled the majority of votes by a good margin, through the treachery of a few party workers at the polls nearly all the democratic nominees were defeated." ' Another democrat, one who has enjoyed the favor of the party for years and been rewarded with office. declares there was a bottle of demo cratic whiskey election day in nearly every corner of the Court Houe. It Is not fair to allow such reflections to go unchallenged. The very absurdity of the charges perhaps is sufficient refutation, for who ever heard of a treacherous democrat. Are they not always true to thei instincts and hoary beliefs! Could democrat vote other than the straight ticket. Dont they always take every' thing straight? The charge concern ing whiskey, too, is preposterous. The constable, high constable and chief of police of the borough, all democrats, were present all day at the polls. Can It be supposed for a moment that these conservators of law with their high character and known reputations for maintaining the law would suffer any such in fractions? It is unfair for defeated and dis' gruitea democrats to allege any such reasons for defeat, and it is slander on the party of Jackson Jefferson and Bryan to make any such belittling insinuations. W trust the Dispatch will retract and apologize.

Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good, if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in" this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs, A sample wiil be sent free upon request Vie iun iliif pictur in li.e lono i,i Lni.nl i, on the a , a L.UJ-.

It is now a matter of inquiry as to who were the parties killing the deer a few days ago, and got away with it too. Likely the parties were short of meat.

M ATA MORAS. Mntamorns is a quint town now a days.

Many lose their votes at the spring elections because of the cold and stormy weather being too severe for their constitutions. Mrs. David O. Brodhead is in very feeble health at present. Farmers generally have given up the egg crop. They did not coddle the hens and they retaliated. The roads are all frozen, in ridges and travel for horses is difficult. All kinds of ties are taken here and the business is booming. Tub Press did not seem natural last week without Rambler's notes. There is a good demand tor tie makers and they are scarce. The crop of ties seems to grow taster than they can be got out with the available help. Delaware has a representative at tha county seat, Lewis T. Smith, who was not partioular about whose ties he hauled away, and it is probable there will be others when the snow blockade is raised so that surveyors can run lines. Chicken ooop rheumatism cores are shown at some of the stores here. They are microbes about the size of bnck shot It is thought that the story of George Jagger implicating Bam Lifts n the burning of Van Anken's store is a fake. No goods can be found at the place designated, nnd it is claimed that at the time of the fire when Jagger lived on the Angle place at (Jon t re and Lifts over in Jersey that they were not associates. The question why spring sown buckwheat d4d not produce grain and late sown did, has been nnder discussion here. It was said the early sown on account of surplus moisture went to straw while the later lacking moisture made less straw and more grain. If one will study the habits and needs of hens and provide them with plenty of water and a warm ooop, never allowing tbn-n to go out in the snow, and furnish such food ns is necessary for eug produo. tion with plenty of cracked oyster hells there ia profit in the business. It is a business requiring care, judg ment and knowledge and in this respect differs from no other to be successful. Books and papers on poultry raising and a close study of the methods of others are great helps if combined with tabor and intelligent management. All these are absolutely necessary if the busi ness Is to be made profiublo. Hap hazard work will not be productive of satisfactory results either with hens or any other kind of farming. A very apt definition was recently given by a speaker who said, refer ring to farming generally, that a good farmer was one who worked with bis bands gnided by brains and an agriculturist was one who work ed with his mouth. Hotter Thmn Oolil "I was troubled for several years with chrouio indigestion and nerv ous debility," writes F. J. Green of Lancaster, N. H. ".No remedy helped me until I began nsing Elec tric Bitters, which did me more good than all tha medicine I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. Khe says Electric Bitters are jusc splen did for female troubles ; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them.
