JUST WHAT THE. CHILDREN LIKE.
Blood Wine Being Peasant to the Taste
Is An Easily Administered Medicine

All mothers have difficulty in persliadina
children to take medicine. As a result
the little ones often get improper treat
mont, and troubles which should only .
temporary, develope into serious diseases,
One of the most common complaints
with young children Is indigestion. dus
either to carelessness upon the part Of the
parents. who pay insufficient care to tho
kind of food consumed d, or because tho
child persistently overeats.
In cases of this kind nothing could 10
better for children than Blood Wine. which
acts directly upon the stomach and
bowels, aiding digestion and at the same
time building up the system. As laxa-
tive 1t has no equal for though not a
strong Cdthartic it regulates the bowels
perfectly.
Best of all. mothers will find no difficult
ty in persuading children to take Blood
Wine. 1t is pleasant to the taste, and al
children like it.
As a tonic for children between the ages
OF 12 and Is, it is highly recommended. Its
effects are immediate and permanent
The following letters speak for them-

NAVIGATION WILL OPEN EARLY
Prediction Made by Those Familiar
with the Lake-High Water
Also Expected.

Those who are familiar with Lake Cham
plain from long experience predict that
navigation will be opened the first week in
April They take as a basis for this state
mont the fact that navigation will be
opened in the Hudson river next week
and it is an almost unbroken rule that
boats can run in Lake Champlain three
weeks after those on the Hudson begin
their trips. The boats of the Champlain
TRANSPORTATION Co. did not begin their
seasons work last year until April II.
1t is also predicted that the water will
be much higher than usual. At the pres
ent time it is about three feet higher than
it was last year during the same period
and last spring elp docks were flooded to
such an extent H6t business along the
lake shore wan Aoacs with difficulty.
