The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness aud are og-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and SoW do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
it, clap aBenson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the 9et-Ott-to-nOrros
plastsrs-not the sort that 60 to sleep on
your skin like cat on q cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, NO mat
ter how made or how called, Is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as a sheet Of Toe does un-
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretsl
the weather but you can always forsteh
the sffeat of Benson's Plasters; II is Is
sure asthe effect Of o hot breakfast in .
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug

Opportunities in Vermont.

There are opportunities for the young

There are opportunities that will be i'm
proved by somebody and the native born
Nermonter has but to elect whether II
shall be himself or the man from outside.
For the man from the outside has his
eye on Vermont as one of the states that
has been overlooked in the great haste

undeVeloped west, and year by year as
the opportunities of the west are exploit
ed and that country settles more and
more into normal conditions. the set-ba ok
of the tide of business venture seeks out
such possiblitie as the latent resources
of this state afford.
The man from the outside is coming
in here with money and brains with a
purpose to develop the commercial and
industrial possibilities of the state and
those commercial and industrial POSSIBLE
ties are consequently going to be develop
ed whether Nermonters do il or not.
The question now presents itself to the
young Nermonter whether he will hunt
up his opportunity right here at home.
or whether he will join in the more or
less popular opinion that there is none

Trolley Forcing the Steam Road.

1t is estimated that the Boston and AL
bany road has lost 100000 passengers
since 1894 through the competition Of the
electric surface roads, and it now pro-
poses to take measures to attract back a
large percentage. Its method is shown
by the announcement that it is to cut
its rates on the Newton circuit bringing
them down to the trolley line basis The
road is also considering the advisability
of eQuipping the Newton circuit with
electricity at cost of 81, 000, 600 .
All steam roads are suffering severely
from this increasing competition, and II
is only a question of time when the other
steam roads will follow the example of
the Boston and Albany road, in taking
steps to meet Northampton Herald.
The railroad companies recognize the
fact that they will have to obtain con-
troll of the street railways If they want
to compete successfully in the future in
carrying passengers between Massa-
chusetts cities, so great has become the
influence of the latter in rapid travel.
The Boston and Maine railroad company
is buying up all the street railway prop
erty that it can secure in order to con-
troll the systems in competing territory.
1t is following the example of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
The most recent development Is an at
tempt to obtain control of the Fitchburg
and Leominster street railway, which
will likely be successful unless rival
company gets in ahead of it, 1t is
stated on authority that the Boston and
Maine wants a direct line that will ex-
tend through Athol to Gardner. Fitch
burg, Aver Junction, and on to Boston.
The plan will be on a similar basis
to that of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford. which has a street railway
equipment running from Fall River to
Providence, giving rapid and excellent
service, in addition to its regular passen-
ger traffic over the steam railroad.
