The RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(BenSon'S Plaster is Pains MaSter.)

From the natural impulse to ''put some-
thing on" a painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty.fUe highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any Number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of 25c. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Roosevelt,s Thouglatfu1ness for Policeman


Prior to the time that Mr.. Roosevelt
was made president of the New York
police board no provision had ever
been made for policeman who ruined
their uniforms in rescuing persons
from drowning. Mr.. Roosevelt took
the matter up before he had been in
the Office a week and ordered that
every uniform thus untitled for use
should be replaced at the cost of the
city. He went still further: down on
the river front was one old roundsman
who had been in the service many
years, and during that time had saved
twenty nine persons from drowning.
He was at once made sergeant, and,
as if to celebrate the promotion, he
saved his thirtieth life the next week.

NEW DEPART URE.

Having purchased my brothers. in
terest in the Barton Feed Store busi-
ness that we have carried on together
for several years, / wish TO take this
way to thank the public for their very
generous patronage in the past and
shall try and merit continuance Of
the same upon the same line OF fair
dealing, prompt service and low
prices. The prices to you will be so
near the cost to us that we can not
afford to give credit,an here is where
the new departure comes in, by simply
having pay for our goods when we
part with them. We hope that this
new way of paying as you go, will be
satisfactory to our many patrons.
Those owing Tower Bros. on book
account or note are requested TO settle
the same at their earliest convience,
and oblige.

THE VERMONT STATE EXHIBIT.

Inc COmnilUU00 dppOIuU0O ny Vic
Vermont board of managers of the
Pan American exposition to make
proper provision for a State exhibit
in the Vermont headquarters room of
the New England States building at
Buffalo, make this preliminary an
nouncement regarding the character
of the exhibits desired, and the meth
cd of collecting the same for classifi-
cation and arrangement.
The proposed State exhibit will be
illustrative of the natural attractions
and beautiful scenery Of Vermont,
and will consist of large photographs,
paintings and other art productions
scenic views from every section of
Vermont-and also of such illustrated
works as will best represent the at
fractions of the State as a summer
resort.
It is further proposed to make an
attractive display of articles of histor-
ical interest.
In order to carry successfully out the
purpose for which the committee was
appointed it seems desirable to adopt
the following plan to promote the in
terests we have in charge:
First. We desire photographs of
mountain, lake, river and rural seen
cry, and general views of cities and
villages; also photographs of street
scenes, college, school and other pub
lie buildings and hotels.
The committee further propose to
exhibit views of water powers, Of
mines and quarries, and Of the indus
tries of the State.
The minimum size of photographs
(prints) to be accepted must be 8x1O
inches, which must be mounted.
Second. A limited number of artis-
tic paintings of Vermont scenery are
also wanted. These should be in
frames.
Third. Articles of historical interest
are desired for exhibition.
All subjects or articles forwarded
for exhibition must be donated or
loaned by exhibitors, as the limited
funds at the disposal of the committee
will not warrant payment therefor.
Every single exhibit should be dis
tinctly marked with the proper title
and the name and address of the ex
hibitor. The exhibits will be return
ed in as good condition as possible at /
the close of the exposition.
We respectfully suggest that man
ayers of railroads, boards OF trade, |
village improvement societies, and I
other organizations having the best |
interests Of Vermont in view take |
steps at once to collect and forward |
and other similar
articles for this purpose. Photog-
raphers, hotel proprietors and all
others in advertising the State at Buff
falo, are also requested to contribute
to the proposed exhibit.
Where such contributions are made
the name of the organization, or per-
son, and the name of the photograph
er, will be published in the State
papers and also appear with the ez-
hibit in the Vermont room.
Exhibits may be forwarded to any
Of the committee and must
De sent not later than March 23rd.
Before forwarding any bulky articles
permission to do so should first be
from a member of the COM
nittee unless the express charges are
paid.
The committee is composed of
Walter E. Ranger of Johnson, Charles
T. Bell of Walden, George Fl. Perkins

A powerful engine cannot be run with a
weak boiler, and we can't keep up to the
strain of an active life with weak stomach;
neither can we stop the human machine to
make repairs. If the stomach cannot digest
enough food to keep the body strong, such a
preparation as Kodo1 Dyspepsia Cure should
be used. 1t digests what you eat and it simp
1y can't help but do you good. 81. @. Pierce,

And vain were his efforts to wag

And then the man with the marvellous mug
Rolled up like cavalry flag
Done " like family rug
Lay there with his head in the bag
And twenty feet off stood the jug
The opulent, corpulent jug
Cnharmed, while the loyal cob plug
Held down what was left of the Jag.
And this is the song of the jag
And the jug, and the jog. and the Jig,
And this is the song Of the nag
OF the nag that would never renig
And the dog and the hog and the bag
