There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by CELL
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen

Capt. L. w. Page Dead L.

Capt. Page was found dead in his chair
about 4 O'Clock Sunday afternoon by a
neighbor who called to see him. His
wife was away at the time visiting a
sick friend Mr.. Page had been appar-
emily in good health and heart disease is
supposed to have been the cause of his
sudden death.
A short time previous an unfortunate
occurrence caused Mr.. Pages name to be
drawn into public notice in way which
had apparently weighed heavily on his
ind and which may have brought on
the trouble causing his death.
Mr.. Page had lived In Brandon for
many years, but was formerly In the
dry goods business In Burlington. At
the time of the Civil War Mr.. Page en-
listed in the 18th Vermont regiment and
was commissioned captain, serving an
honorable career in that position. He
had made many friends during the
course of his life in Brandon and the
sympathy of the townspeople is with
the bereaved family. He is survived
by wife and one son, DR.. Page of
Boston.

FORREST E. JEPSON.
Young Jepson is vigorous speciman
of healthy young manhood, fond of out
door life and athletic sports, and of Just
the stuff to make heroes. His record as
life saver is as follows;
Recently Will Uolliser, while skating
on Benton's pond, broke through the ice
and went under and would have drowned
had not Jepson drove in and pulled the
lad out.
Last spring, during the high water,
Elmer Spencer, a small boy, fell into the
raceway of the Valentine mill where it
was some II feet deep The suction
carried HIM down and held him and he
could not possibly have gotten out had
not Master Jepson plunged in and after
hard battle with the current, brought
him out.
Two years ago boy named Hackett
got into deep water near the ice house
and the swift current carried him under
the ice from whence he was rescued by
young Jepson.
The fourth instance of his valor and
quick wit was during a camping trip.
He and companion were taking Ia long
swim and the other boy became exhaus t.
ed and gave Jepson hard struggle to
get him ashore.
Forrest Jepson is president of his class,
that of '06 in the Bennington high school
and was captain of the high school
football team last fall. lie is a.clean
manly youth of great promise. He
always makes light of his own powers
and modestly refuses to accept the
plaudits due him for his courage.
This sketch and picture were obtained
without the young mans knowledge.
