Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and .sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrck, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week l would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since I began using Paine s
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
l do not have any more headaches. l feel
better than have for years."

true, and there is no reason for doubt
ing it, the automobilist in question
certainly did his share toward MAX
ing the horseless carriage unpopular
in Vermont, and therein he not only
acted against his own interests, but
against the interests of every machine
owner, gentlemanly or otherwise, in
the State.
There is room for the automobile
in Vermont and it's advent should be
welcomed, but there is no room for
the man who will not subordinate his
desires in the matter of speed and per-
sonal enjoyment to the safety of other
travellers who still stick to the horse,
There are automobilists in Vermont
who are known and commended far
and wide for the Difference they show
to the rights of others. but it is to be
regretted that there are also some Of
the opposite class, The latter will
do wisely If they change their tactics a
bit, for Vermont has the power to en-
act regulations so stringent as to
make the automobile burden to its
owner, and unless it is proven that
the new fad is not to terrorize every
person in the State who drives a
horse, the next Legislature is quite
likely to make things mighty unpleas-
ant for the horseless enthusiasts.

W4TERB URY Nh N MISSING

this town for the past year, has not
been seen here since Friday morning.
Mr. Waterman opened the store as

wife that he would return shortly.
He took what cash there was i'll the
cash drawer but left his bank book
and went to his home where he put
on his best clothes. Nothing further
is known of his movements since that
time. It is thought that he was seen
in Bolton that day walking on the
track. Mr.. Waterman's father was

conveyance as he had boarded no train

WHY NOT ENJOY BREA Il
FAST?
Most Delicious FyacOr Of 4U
the Cere0iS.

1t is amusing to read the claims
made by the different breakfast cereals
on the market. There is no longer
need of sickness or trouble, if one
only eats what Mr. Dooley calls AL
most food; a scientific preparation of
burlaps;" or "Sawd Ust, a chemical
ly pure dish made of the exterior of
bath towels. -
Malt Breakfast Food is unique; it
is advertised simply "a an honest food
of delicious flavor. 1t does not claim
to cure all the ills to which man is
heir; it is just real food that is good
to eat. Try breakfast with Malt
Breakfast Food for the cereal, and you
will then understand why it is the
favorite breakfast food in the best
homes, and is ON the menu of the
leading hotels, such as the Waldorf
Astoria, the Touraine, and similar
houses all over the world.
Do not begin the day with cold
breakfast of chips, shaken from a
pasteboard box that may have been
on your grocer's shelves since last
summer. A warm dish of delicious
Malt Breakfast Food with cream and
sugar, will give you store of
strength, vitality and good nature for
the whole day.
Talk 1T over with your grocer. and
he will tell you that Malt Breakfast
Food is the most satisfactory cereal
he sells, and the one which gives you
most fully the value of your money.
