THOSE GNAWING RATS.


"I felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de
scribe is, a symptom. Other signs are
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, etc, etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute infammatory dys-
pepal or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DIR.

DUN M ERSTON.
A acknowledged Tale.

We have read of insects called cent?
pedes because they have about hundred
legs, and insects having more than 100
legs are called milleped but we never
heard until few weeks ago of a thous-
and-legged table, which means a table
with many legs. not exactly a thousand.
When the estate of the late Howard
Jones was settled "a acknowledged
table" was among the articles sold at
auction. This antique piece Of furni-
ture sold for the small sum of 70 cents.
September p, 1914, Reuben Jones. from
Royalston, Mass, came to Dummerston
and bought a farm of William sweetzer
Tor $4,000. Reuben Jones died in 1875 aged
% years, months. This old dining
table was part of his household furni-
ture. 1t was an heirloom in the family
and was the property of his parents,
Amos and Lydia Woolly Jones, who set
tied in Royalston, Mass, in 1763. Be-
fore settling in Royalston Amos Jones
lived in Acton, Mass, and when he left
that town he persuaded Miss Woolly to
go with him to the new settlement to take
permanent possession of his domestic af
fairs. They had a fine family of chill
dren and lived in large and substantial
farm house with barn and other build
ings to match. The late Deacon Amos
Jones of Putney was their eldest son.
His son, Simon. married Ellen Foster
daughter of Rev. Amos Foster, who
preached in Putney many years. Amos
Jones died in 1926, aged a. and his son
Silas. born in $780, became sole proprietor
of his excellent farm. 1t may seem to
the reader that it was hardly worth the
time to write a story about a table that
was sold a few years ago for rs cents
but that same relic of antiquity will sell
today for $50 whenever the owner is
ready to part with It, The Jones family
called is the spindle legged table.

Nor Worrying In Windham About the
Coal Strike.

[F'rom New York Tribune of Saturday ]
There is one place at least which is
not worrying about the end of the coal
strike and the resumption of work at the
anthracite mines. according to William
H. Goodell. of Philadelphia, who is regis
tered at the Waldorf-Astoria. He said
yesterday: There is little town up in
Vermont where l have spent my summers
for the last ten or twelve years which
can snap its fingers at the miners and
operators. 1t is Windham. in the county
of the same name. / think 1t is per-
fectly safe to say that no coal ever went
into that place except as a curiosity, I'M
less II was little which l once took
there when / first began to go there sum-
mers. The place in twelve miles from
a little narrow gauge railroad. which al
ways burns wood. and the natives OF the
town know no other fuel. There is an
ocean of wood there, and although 1t L.,
more inconvenient than coal. why should
any one care when II is practically free
for the cutting? AS / limited before
when I first went there I had a load of
coal drawn up from Brattleboro. which
is twenty miles away, and more than
one old farmer stopped my hired man to
ask what was being brought into town.
One rustic citizen thought 1t was dyna-
mite And so / feel sure that Windham
doesn't care much whether the coal strike
is ended or not"

The Vermont farmers are finding this
golden year. Maple sugar sold last
spring at the highest prices In thirty
years. wood has been a source of unex-
pected profits and the apple crop is be-
yond precedent The rural papers tell
of trees yielding 20 bushels each of mark
etable fruit, and factory in the centre
of the State has been getting as high
as so cents each for barrels. Usually
the supply OF empty -four and sugar bar
rels and the local product is sufficient.
but large quantity has been shipped
from this and other cities for this re-
markable crop. Buyers are paying
about $3.50 a barrel for winter fruit. de-
livered at the cars. and most of 1t is
being sent to Europe. The winters lum-
bering will soon begin, and for this, too,
there will be good returns and more than
the usual activity in turning the forests
into building material Beef. poultry,
butter ana hay are all bringing good
prices, and an era OF prosperity seems
to have begun for even the neglected
Vermont granger.

unhitched in front of w. C. Halladays
store. Something frightened them and
they started on a lively run toward
Brookside. The stage was ahead of
them, containing five people. The pas
sengers heard the team coming and some
of them jumped out of the coach. The
horses got locked between the stage
wheels and the stage horses, and dragged
that team part way down the hill and
across the bridge before the stage was
stopped. The pole of the wagon hit one
of the seats of the stage and broke 1t.
The passengers were more frightened
than hurt but one of the horses was
badly injured. This accident serves as
a warning against the danger of leav-
ing horses unhitched
