A travelling theatrical manager
tell. the people of Rutland, accord
ing to the News, "that they were
more familiar with Shakespeare and
had keener appreciation OF the
Shakespearean drama than the resi-

Rutland has long been known as a
Shakespearean centre, AS the home
of art, belles.lettres and vast marble
works. Its seventeen literary socie-

of the sppreciative News that the

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
incessantlywith brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in "A
weakened or debilitated condition of the
nervous system, which results in dys-
pepsia, defective nutrition of both body
and brain, and in extreme cases in com
seen that what is needed is what will
sustain the system, give vigor and tone
to the nerves and keep the digestive
and assimilative functions healthy and
active. From. personal knowledge, we
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for
this purpose. It acts on all the vital
organs builds up the whole system. and

in the matter OF rates on grain and
grain products over the Chicago & Al

Burlington & Quincy Railway company
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
way, the Illinois Central railroad. the

commerce. The respondents in such
proceedings are required to file answer
on or before May 1, 1908. and appear at

at no time has the @'fil1' sunk below the
surface and carried with it any engines
or cars, and that the building of the
cut off is attended with fewer difficult
ties and mishaps than he anticipated
when the work was undertaken.
