How rare it is to see hale, hearty,
vigorous old man like this, who is ad-
vanced in years but is good for many
years more. Too often we see old men
and aged women weak, broken, sickly,
constantly suffering, miserable most Of
the time.
They look back upon their early years
with longing, and they look forward
with dread. And yet no matter how
much their constitution may have been
impaired, there is no reason why they
should not live the rest of their days in
health and comparative strength. This
has been done by many in the past, and
is being done by more to-day There is
way for those who care to follow it.
Do you ask what this way is? We an

sluggish liver, the weakened kidneys, the
poor circulation. 1t makes the blood
better and gives a warm glow TO the
system. 1t has been used for more thar
fifty years, and is unquestionably the
best of all modern discoveries. Read

BENNINGTON, July End, 1891.
Editor Of the BANNER; It may not be
uninteresting to the readers Of the BAN
NER to know what is being done at the
s'Fresh Air Homen in White Creek for
the tired, weary mothers and their chill
dren, who are kindly given by their
friends in Troy a two weeks 'outing"
in this inviting country home.
The Home is furnished by Mr.. G. N.
Briggs and his efficient wife, Mrs. L. T..
Briggs, whose unbounded hospitality ex-
tends, during the season, to some six or
eight hundred of the poor people of
the city of Troy. They come
in groups of from 70 to $50 each, and
stay just two weeks, when they all are
taken to the station, some six miles
away, and exchanged for new recruits,
On Wednesday of this week party Of
four from Bennington passed a most en-
joyable day, making a visit at the Home
and returning by Hoosick Falls.
They reached the Home just in time tC
see the little ones at their midday meal
There are now between so aud 90 enjoy
ing this snatch of country life. Some II
were mothers, and they all seemed
happy family ranging in their age
from four weeks to fifty years. Thu
tables were all neatly spread, and tn,
food was both inviting and abundant.
1t was pleasant to see how well the,
were organized, and how readily eacl
one dropped into the rightful place
without confusion, or any show o
wrangling. The wonder was that tn
few days in which they had been togeth
er could bring so much order out o
chaos.
Hungry children as they were, they Al
waited the signal, and then bowed thei
heads reverently before partaking @
food and repeated in concert Scripture
prayer. The lodging rooms are all nea
and well ventilated. There is an air Q
comfort which the beneficiaries all seeI
to appreciate. They are surrounde
with wholesome Christian influences
and constand watch-care guards th
little ones at every step. Religious sci
vices are held every day, in which a
that are able to sing, or commit verse
bear part. They also have sma
stream of pure water near by, at whic
they all repair daily, when pleasant, fo
bath. This is a source of great enjoy
ment to them, giving them, as it werI
, the luxury of sea-beach privileges
, Every party sent out is furnished wit
, wise matronly care. Miss Pascoe an
I Miss Holmes are giving kind and Chris
ly supervision to the present party.
! The energy needful to carry on such
home speaks highly for Mr.. and Mr.
Briggs. How they can set such tablt
, and give such accommodations for ST.
, per week is problem in domestic ecoI
omy which am sure some of us woul
, fail in trying to solve.
They have all the milk that they wis
to drink, consuming the product of
cows, and in addition thereto Mr.. Brigl
buys 80 quarts daily. But it make
them all happy, and the benevolent
that does this charitable act for the poe
, IN the city of Troy is blessed thing. {

cept when the man is an imbecile and a
pigmy, and the woman a monster, we
should recommend that forbearance on

with dreadful cough and turning into

treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was mere "handful

Why is our taste apt to differ so much
from another in the choice of tie?
Simply because there are so many varie-
ties of ties to choose from. Ihave them
that ladies can select from fully equal to
the crocheted. The designs cover almost
every form that human ingenuity can de-
wise. The colors include the exceedingly
plain and exceedingly brilliant, and every
shade between the two, and there is al
most an equal diversity of material 1
can consult your preference and your
pocketbook not only as to ties, but as to

signs, and in fact everything that be-
longs to First-class Clothing Store.
