The Grip epidemic is raging 10

chils, sneezing and running at the

bone-racking aches and pains and
general exhaustion are the rule
rather than the exception. The
best way to fight the Grip is to
strengthen the nerves and build up

Over 10000 Souvenirs.

There is but one food fair and in this
respect Boston stands urrivalled," said
a prominent Western manufacturer to
the writer few days ago. and this senti-
ment seems to be universal among those
who have participated in the exhibitions
occasionally given the South and West.
Nine of the best bands of music in the
world have been engaged, with Sousa,
Godfrey, Reeves and Missud at the head,
over $4,000 having been expended in this
direction alone, while the handsome
Dewey Souvenir spoons to be presented
free to early morning visitors reaches
the grand total of 1900 during the four
weeks of the fair. The first 500 ladies'
purchasing admission tickets at EXhibi-
ton Hall entrance, No so Huntington
Ave-, will each receive one-fourth dozen
OF these pretty presents; the second 800
will be given one sixth dozen, and the
third 500 will be given one-twelfth dozen,
making daily total of 5000 gifts.Cs
In point of attractivenesS the Food Fair
itself will prove revelation, many new
and entertaining features having been
introduced by which to supplement the
countless exhibits of up-to-date-food
products and novel devices and appliances
of utility and comfort in the home. Miss
Nellie Dot Rancho of Chicago is sure to
interest and delight the ladies by her
charming personality and by the uncon
ventional and informal little talks"
Wnlcn Will accompany her daily demon
STATIONS of household economics, and
her preparation, cooking and skillful
serving of dainty dishes. Paul Revere
hall, transformed into miniature Area
dia, will fascnate the ladies as we'll as
interest the devotees of the rod and gun,
and admission to this annex will be free
to all visitors. In the cafe and lunch
room Caterer Bow has arranged most APP
petizing menus and established a sched-
ule of prices so reasonable that Dublic
approval and generous patronage are
foregone conclusions.
The Food Fair will be open daily to the
public for four weeks, from 10 a. m. to 10
p. M, a quarter being the popular price
of admission to all.

What Shall We Do I?

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated be-
fore we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism lumbago, frequent de-
sire to urinate, often with burning sem
sation, the flow of urine being cOpious or
scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down be-
tween the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald-
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments.
If uric acid or gravel has formed it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a remedy fa-
nous for its marvellous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as Dr. Kill
mer's Swamp-ROot.
1t is sold by all druggists
AS proof of the wonderful virtues OF
this, great discovery, Swamp-Root, sam
pie bottle and book of valuable Informal
ton will be sent absolutely free by mail
on application to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, n. Y. When writing kindly
mention that you read this liberal offer

How to Take Mix SAMPLES.

In the interest of Vermont dafrymef1
attention should be called again to the
necessity of proper precautions in taking
milk or cream samples for analysis. 1t is
a common thing for Vermont creamery
patrons, dissatisfied with the test of the
milk they deliver, to send sample to the
Experiment Station i'll order to compare
its results with those given ont by the
creamery. The idea is good one, but it's
execution is often faulty. Few people
realize how easy it is to take all incorrect
milk sample. There is good reason, more
over, TO believe that more than one half
OF the many hundreds of milk samples
sent by farmers every year to the station
are improperly taken and that the results
OF the tests are misleading. The Station
can do NO more than test what is sent.
by no art or legerdemaIn can ii arrive
at correct test from an incorrect sam
pie. No doubt many creamery manage
ments have been unjuStly accused of
carelessness, incompetency or worse by
patrons who have based their Judgement
upon the Experiment Station tests, when
as matter OF fact, the trouble lay in the
faulty samples furnished to the Station
by the compliments
While mistakes are readily made in this
matter, it is not difficult to take proper
sample if the directions here given be fol-
lowed; The samples at least will not be
at fault.

either by halving the creamery sample or
duplicating it. When the creamery COM
posite sample is complete and ready for
testing the operator may be asked to-
furnish one-half of it. The patron should
then be certain that the operator thor
aughly mixes the sample by pouring; that
all the cream from the sizes of the jar,
covers, ETC., is mixed into the milk or
cream, and that the halving is done i'm
medlatelN after the last pouring. In lieu
of this the operator may be required
every time he samples at the factory to
furnish a duplicate sample in a jar con-
trolled by the patron. In this way dupli-
cate composite samples may be made,
one held in the control of the operator.
the other in that of the patron; both of
which should test closely alike.
If samples be sent to the Experiment
Station, Burlington. Vt, for its free an
alysis, they should be carefully taken.
W ide- mouthed jars shou be used, which
should be filled absolutely full to prevent
,hurning il transit. Express charges
should be prepaid, and the name of the
party sending should be placed upon the
package.

Another Bunco.

1t is with sad regret that we should
be forced to see our quiet village be-
come more and more that attractive
| field of labor to the 'bunco steerer"
and yet tits so and the story runs thus /:
Last Saturday one Chas. Schneldt r
of Albany, n. Y, so registered at the
hotel, and purported to be an advance
agent of the Syrup of Figs Co., with
two men working under him who he
had left at st. Johnsbury and who
would meet him here Monday. Mon
day said Schneider, failing to make
| satisfactory arrangements as to price
on team hire with Mr.. Stevens, pro-
cured one of Mr.. Bagley and drove the
same to the hotel and asked one Dan
Graham of Groton, who was a man
looking for work and had been stop,
ping at the hotel over Sunday, to hold
his horse while he procured some
cigars and who he asked to ride with
him which he did, he wore a mackin-
tosh with cape. They returned lat
er in the day Schneider wearing the
macintosh and Graham the cape.
Schneider sent Graham home with the
team and Immediately after entering
the hotel represented to Landlord
Bishop that he had received telegram
from St. Johnsbury and that his men
having had too gay a Sunday would
not be down until Tuesday. Tuesday
morning Schneider had decided to take
team and drive up the line to do
some business and meet his men who
would be coming down-he meantime
had engaged Graham to work for him
and take the place of one of the COM
ing men whom he should turn off. Be
for going he wished to settle his bill
and also pay Graham's and offered
Landlord Bishop draft on Newport
bank of $50, which was accepted and
S15 in cash returned as the balance
due him. He then engaged a team of
Stevens and taking Graham drove
away. At South Newbury he left
Graham who was going back to Groton
to get his clothes, before parting with
him, however, he borrowed $10.25 and
river and down the other side and
team saying he would be back in about
After he left the hotel Mr.. Bishop got
to worrying some over the draft and so
telegraphed to Newport and received
the none too soothing information that
no such person was known. Upon
conveying this information to the
stable Mr.. Bishop created some mis-
givings in the mind of Mr.. Stevens and
Mr.. Bishop was dispatched up the line
with another to see if he could get !
track of the miscreant, but alas, their
efforts availed them naught, but later,
however, message was received from
Fairlee saying the team was there. 1t
was at once sent for and is the only
memento of the yentful episode so
far recovered.

RESTLESS ANIMALS.
They Are Always Walking About in
Their Cages Because They
Need Exercise.

When you see the animals in the park
menageries pacing back and forth rest
lessly in their cages do not take it for
granted that the creatures are unhappy
or even disconnected. 1t may be that
the lion or the tiger or the polar bear
that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hunting
food. Thus each day they walk many
miles, perhaps. In their narrow cages
in the parks they are plentifully sup
piled with food, but their brawny
bodies still demand great amount of
exercise. Mile after mile is paced off
daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually
they move with long, swinging stride,
but when meal time comes around then
the step quickens until, when the keep
er appears with his baskets of meat.
the tigers and lions and other animals
leap against their bars and growl and
whine and lash their tails. In fact, they
act like great, hungry boys do after a
,ong days tramp II they find that sup
Der is late.
