The War is Over.

Probably that's not news to you,
nor, if you keep your eyes and
ears open, is it news to you that
we are the real estate headquar-
tiers of this section.
But these two facts are i'm
portaut to you. For better times
are coming sure - they always
have after war, and history is
about to do its customary act of
repetition-and the way to invest
your money safely is by buying
real estate.
Therefore, as war prices still
prevail, the time to buy is NOW.
We can sell you real estate which
will net you six to fifteen per
cent on your investment. The
prices are all at rock bottom,
and you cannot lose.
If You are looking for farm,
come to us. We have them from
$4,000 down to almost nothing.
If you have property you wish
to exchange for another kind, we
can hit you there.
In fact, no matter what sort OF
real estate you have or want, the

OLD CATERER ON TERRAPlN.

better still, Long Island one, and there
is just the difference between SO a
dozen and $40. Warm water kinder
washes the delicate flavor out of them.
Don't you let Mr.. Bergh know-it, but
your terrapin must be boiled alive.
Have good big pot, with hot fire un-

Bladder TrOnbleS.

The bladder was created for one pur.
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such 1t is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action Of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
Sample Sent Free.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. ltis comforting to know that DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root fuldlls every wish
in quickly curing bladder and urinary
troubles. 1t corrects frequent calls, in
ability to hold urine and scalding or sting
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail, upon receipt of

Envelopes to BE Used Twice.


The novelty in stationery is an en-
velope that can be used twice. This
necessity may not often arise, but
when it does It must be urgent. The
envelope is Of course, not stuck, and is
OF oblong shape. The two square side
haps cover each more than half the
address part, and those turing over
from the top and bottom part, although
triangular in the main, are cut in a
peculiar way. Instead Of ending in
a rounded corner, as the ordinary en-
velope does, three-lipped arrange
ment, separated from the flap proper
by a perforated line, is provided with
gum and closes the envelope, one lip
sticking on each nap. When opening
such letter 1t must, OF course, be
torn along the perforated line only.
When used the second time the en-
velope Is folded inside out, and the
other flap which remained intact and
Is gummed according to its position
Is stuck down. 1t is almost impos-
sible to tamper with such letter, as
all parts are perfectly secured and the
perforated lines would show the slight
est injury.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
$4,000 Damages,

A case of general interest was de-
clded, by jury, in the Windham
county court last week. 1t was an
action brought under the statute max
ing the owner of building where in.
toxicating liquors are sold liable for
damages. Last July one Clarence
Dix, Clarence Plumb and Edgar
Busby of Nottingham hired a boat
and rowed across Sadaga lake to the
house of one Albert Potter lessee
of Frank N. Mason. Potter fur
nished cider for these parties and
made egg nog for them by the pail
full. Drunkenness followed and in
rowing across the lake on the returo
Dix was drowned The widow of
Dix brought suit against Potter and
Mason and the jury gave her DANA
ges to the amount of $4,000, all that
she claimed, and would probably got
more had she set the ad damnum
higher.

est of any, but owing to the rules Of the
Association, that no officer could receive

the sweepstakes went to butter scoring
one point lower, 81 1-2: but Mr.. Jaynes
received $500, the premium offered by
the Vermont Farm Machine Co., for the
best butter, provided the cream was sep
araled by the improved United States
Separator.
Mrs. Carrie J. Nelson, who carried of
the First Premium on Dairy Butter, ais"
used an Improved United States Separa-
tor.
In this connection it is worthy of re-
mark that at the Vermont Dairymen's
Annual Convention, held at St. Albans,
in January last, the Creamery Sweep
stakes, Grand Sweepstakes and Gold
Medal went to E. E. Symes, superinten-
dent No. Ryegate Creamery, who also

prints went to F. 4. Smith, Proprietor
Cloverleaf Creamery, Fletcher; and First

Separators.

be congratulated upon the remarkable
success of the above named separator.

D.preciated Farm Property.

A farm in one of the western Hamp-
shire towns was sold about fifty years
ago for $4,000. The man who bought
it built new house on it at cost of
$780,. At his death the farm was
sold for 5000. This purchaser built a
new barn at a cost Of $500 and died af-
ter few years, when the farm Of 100
acres, with house and barn costing
$1,700, was sold for $500. The land
is as productive as any in Northamp-
ton meadows. Where has the value Of
that farm gone to? The man who
once lived on it was telling this story
while sitting on the court house rail-
ing the other day. He was locking at
the stores on Shop row. 1T has gone

he said. "The farms have gone down
in value and the value Of the real estate
in the centers has gone up. No one
wants to stay on the farm and work
the boys all want to get in to the CEN
ters where there Is more going on, and
where there is less hard work and
better pay. And don't blame them :

Saturday evening when he came home
at about 8 o'clock aud was greeted by
eight or ten of his friends, who had
asse bled to celebrate with him his
18th birthday, which fell on Sunday.
"The half was not told" and they
continued to come until thirty-two
merry-making young people were
counted in the gay company, and the
number would have been greater with
favorable weather. Music, both vo-
cal and instrumental, was the leading
feature of entertainment, in which
several took part. The instrumental
music by Miss Vera johnson of Oak

which she responded to the invitations
given her to "play one or two more. :"
