Mrs. O. II. Buck, 2o23 Douglas street,
Omaha, Neb., writes;
al have used Peruna and can
cheerfuLIy recommend II as being
the best remedy for caEarrh and
general debility that / have ever
used" Yours gratefully,
Mrs. C. II. Buck.
Peruna is applicable to catarrh of
any mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruna is a specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This Is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
Of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness Of the mu-
cous lining Of every organ of woman's
body is we'll known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, SO few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude of women have
found Peruna an indispensable remedy.

Following is the population by counties:

The above table shows, what was gem
orally expected would be the case, that the
population of Barre has increased more
rapidly than that of any other place in the
state. The numerical gain there during
the decade is 1902, or more than 100 per
cent. Lyndonville village is close second
in the percentage of gain, while Burlington
stands second in the numerical gain. The
increase of 4302 in Barre and 1850 in Bur-
lington represents more than two-thirds
and almost three-quarters of the entire in

When an apple orchard is being planted
different varieties ought to be mixed to-
gether in adjacent rows to insure cross
fertilization of the blossoms by bees. The
Vermont experiment station is just pub

go to show that majority of varieties of
apples do not bear good crops unless
mixed in this way. Northern Spy, for ex-

Miss Rodney had not been gone long

in an envelope with the name of some
London solicitors on it. She opened it
and almost gasped as she mastered its

they had been instructed by the Count

with this request they did co. The
countess had died two days ago. The
