THE RIGHT THI,!G TO PUT ON.
lAanSnnS Plaster is pail'S MaStar.D

From the natural impulse to put some
thing on 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 10y year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest dis ases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter Il season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capslcum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Bensons,
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 supeglatiye merit
of Ienson'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
6ftY-fra highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any mher ordered III the
United States on the receipt of 25c. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Bennington, Jan. G.--Nlrs. Holura Me-
Carly of South SALISBURY probably en-
Joys the distinction of being the oldest
person in Vermont. Authentic records
show that she was born in the county of
Cork, Ireland, the first Friday IN Lent, in
1890. Entry of her birth is made on the
record of the parish church. She was one
of II children. Her father and her
mother both lived over 100 years.
Mrs. McCarty can neither read nor
write, as educational facilities in her days
were limited. For number of years IN
her younger days she was housekeeper
for the parish priest, where she became
we'll known for her native wit and hu-
NOR. She was married in Ireland to
Dennis McCarty, who died some sixty
years ago. She was the mother of two
children, one of them, son, now 70
years of age, coming to this country
when young aud settling IN South
SALISBURY. where for a number of
years his mother has resided with him
and now assists in doing the homework.
The Old lady is quite deaf, has not a
tooth in her head, and says that she has
not taken mouthful of meat in 20 years.
She is very active, frequently walks to
North Bennington to attend mass. and
one day last summer came on foot to this
village-live miles-fOr the purpose of
attending church. She has remarkable
memory, and narrates incidents that
came under her observation In the Irish
rebellion of 1898. She especially remem-
bers being taken with the other children
by their mother to a place of hiding from
the British soldiers.
She likes to converse in the Irish Ian.
guage, which she speaks fiuently. She
is firm believer in temperance and
bids fair to live number of years yet.

vsRMoNT's MINERAL WEALTH..

VERMONT MINERAL VEAL n.
The Importance Of our states mineral
resources has been emphasized by the
announcement of the pas sage of the con-
troll of the famous Ely copper mines into
the hands of the Westinghouse Electric
company, an event which has its encour-
agement for all patriotic Nermonters as
well as its lessons for Vermont capital
lists. Our state which formerly relied al
most entirely on agriculture and allied in
dustries for its prosperity and material
development has been forced to realize
that it must still further diversity its
interests, if it,is to compete successfully
with its sister states in bidding for an
abiding and growing population and cap
ital. During recent years our people
have been turning their attention to man
uf4cturing and the development of some
of our mineral resources, and where cap
ital and well directed energy have COM
sned forces the most gratifying results
have been achieved.
That the Ely copper mines are to be
added to the long list of successful indus
trial projects of our state does not admit
of doubt. The Westinghouse company
furnish proof of this in the statement
that the property has already been placed
on paying basis as well as by their an
nouncement of further improvements
and more extended operations the COM
ing season, the expectation being that
the production of refined copper from
these mines will aggregate from 1000
600 TO 10000, 600 pounds during the year
now begun. This development, which is
plainly to be of a permanent character
and which has no suggestion of specula-
ton, the mines having been secured as a
source of supply for the Westinghouse
company, must result not only in marked
benefit to the locality and the state d.
rectly, but also In the encouragement of
capitalists to develop other mineral re-
sources of which our state boasts.
1t Is significant that the great Ely pro-
perty should depend upon outside CAPT
tai and promoters for its development.
While this great reservoir of mineral
wealth has been waiting to respond boun-
tifully to demands upon its resources,
people in all parts of the state have been
complaining because our commonwealth
afforded no favorable opportunity for in.

money all over the country for place.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
An Ordinance Presented Asking for
 Privileges and Franchises.

The company that is contemplating establishing a new telephone plant in Montgomery has had an ordinance in- troduced into the City Council asking franchises and privileges necessary for the operation of the same which has beer referred to the Committee on Franchises and Privileges.
 It will be remembered that The Advertiser called attention to the fact some days ago that movement was on foot for the establishment of a new telephone line and that company had been organized for the purpose and that aldermen had been approached on for the franchises and privileges asked for.
 The aldermen approached gave no specific promise in regard to the yro- posed franchises and privileges. but gave 1t out that they would not favor or vote any privileges to any other company unless 1t was agreed and satisfactory assurance given to the Council that the new company was not intended as a speculation, would not sell out to any other company and would enter into agreement with the city to operate its line independently of any other line and would furnish telephone service to families for $l.5O month and to business houses for 8 per month. It Is understood that the new company will do this and have had an ordinance introduced looking to securing the privileges necessary to the operation of said line and the forma- tion of said company.
