This would wear off as the others had done
so it was neglected and neglected until a
steady pain came in the chest, and slight.
but not very distressing cough became con
stan5. Rnt John didn't mind the pain-he
ignored it, and went on with his work as
though pain meant nothing. After time he
began to grow thin and weak, and an attack
of dysentery compelled him to call in a physi-
clan. The physician discovered his condi-
ton, and by this time infiltration was well
advanced in the right lung. Now the fight
for life became serious. and it all came from
a common cold that taken at first could have
been easily cured. The physician, being an
experienced practitioner, recommended
Downs, Elixir, and John used it faithfully
and pulled through; but how much better it
would have been had John bought bottle
OF the Elixir at once, and taken a dose on go

clear as a whistle In view of the fact that
the season of colds and coughs is now at

How To Cuoosp Yorrp Npuo,

How TO CHOOSE Your NEWSPAPERS
The Rutland Weekly Herald, which
is just now claiming the special atten-
ton of readers in all parts of the
state as appears by the advertise
ment in another column, says THE
Herald believes that every man in
the state should take his local paper.
In greatpPopOFtiop of cases he may
wisely take more than one printed
in his immediate neighborhood. But
with these are needed other papers
for general or special news apart from
purely local matters, and the Herald
is entering some new fields to supply
this want. In regard to general news
it invites comparison with any city
weekly, and it also asks consideration
for its more general Vermont news.
Readers will find that @it is the best
in these respects, as in many others.

FARM TOR Sale ,

Owing to the advancing years of

past, near Hyde Park village. Hav

much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no communication
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings TODAY
The larger part of the farm is
in MorrIstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii

ECONOMY IN FUEL.-Economv in
fuel is one of the hardest things to
teach; nothing seems to satisfy the
ordinary servant but to pile on coal
and to shake and poke to get the fire
big, then pile on more coal, With
hard coal one can have a good fire
and still use very little coal. Give it
time to burn and keep the drafts
right. Use good sense and never fill
the fire box too full When a small
fire is used to keep things going have
the top slides open and put on q lit
tie fresh coal to keep, then when
greater heat is wished close the I'D
per draft and open the lower, and in
few minutes one has a good bright
fire; don'tFake out che ashes unless it
is necessary to have hot oven: wait
until one needs a hot fire, then clear
out the ashes and add coal. A good
manager will save half the fuel used
by the ordinary maid-of-all-work and
have a better fire at that. There
should always be hot water in the
often hot water is want
ed at a moments notice.
