tested in the Wednesday evening prayer

1t is not certain that Mr.. Stearns Will
e-build his tub shop on account of 1nsur-
ance companies demanding too much pro-
| lection. Business of last year was better
! than ever before. The buildings remain
| ing cost about $500 and will be practically
a waste unless he re-builds. On the other
| hand the five years exemption from taxa
tion which the town gave him as an in
inducement to establish his plant here,
will induce him to re- build if he can see
his way clear. The insurance companies
are getting tired of Vermont as a field of
operation on account of unusual losses
during the past few years, but most of the
losses have come by reason of insufficient
fire protection. Since this village has put
in a system acknowledged by every one to
be abundant in water and complete in
equipment it would seem as if the insur-
ance companies should take this into con-
sideration and lower rates accordingly

fective in removing distress after eating, and
creates an appetite for more food SO that eat
ing becomes a pleasure. Pale, thin people
become plump and healthy under its use. 1t
arrests the wasting of consump ton.
