ALL THE NEWS
from Somerset towns
Pittsfield.

The matter of accepting the gift OF Mr..
Andrew Carnegie of SIS 900 for free
public library building for this town. was
finally decided as to the acceptance OF the
gift, at special town meetieg held in
Union Hall. Saturday afternoon. Sever
al special town meetings have been pre-
viously held. the first one to consider an
offer Of SIS 900 from Mr.. Carnegie. This
sum together with the usual conditions
made by Mr.. Carnegie, that 10 per cent
of this amount be raised by the town each
year for the maintenance and support OF
the library, met with considerable opposi-
ton among the voters. II was argured
that this matter of raising the sum OF
81, 500 per year annually was more than
the town could afford and the town could
not under the State laws raise more than
81 90 per poll for library purposes. Mr..
Carnegie modified his proposition to meet
the conditions and special meeting was
called to vote upon the modified PROPOSE
ton. This meeting was largely attended.
Judge o. H. Drake presided and discus
sion was opened by Postmaster Oramel
Murray. who made the following motion ::
~ move that in order to meet the pro-
posal Of Andrew Carnegie to furnish the
sum $40 900 for public library in Pitts
field. the town raise annually hereafter,
for the support OF said public library, the
amount that the laws of the State allow
the town to raise. not TO exceed in
any one year, including the ten per cent re-
ceived from the State, the sum of $1,000. ="

marks 10 favor OF acceptance. OF Mr.. Car

MONA A GUARANTEED CURE
Folly of Treating Dyspepsia with
Pepsin Tablets.

Mona is entirely different from other
treatments for dyspepsia. The fact that
it is sold by F. w. Buchanan, the popu-
lar druggist, under his personal guaran-
tee to refund the money If it does not
cure dyspepsia and restore normal
weight, shows that it possesses unusual
merit.
Mi.o-na is not an ordinary laxative pill /;
pepsn or pancreatin; it is not a mere
stimulant and tonic Mi-o-na is COM
pressed food tablet that furnishes the
constituents necessary to build up the
system; it aids the food to assimilate,
and strengthens and regulates the di-
gestive organs, enabling the body to gain
in natural, healthy plumpness.
Austin Flint, NJ. D., Professor of Physi-
ology in the Bellevue Hospital Medical
college, New York city, one of the most
eminent medical men in the country,
says: ~ have yet to see single case in
which any of the pepsins, pancreatins or
the physologically absurd combinations
of pepsin and pancres tin seem to have
produced any benifit, even of tempo,
rary char acter.
This staten mt from man of DR..
Fhnt's standing should convince any one
of the folly of trying to cure diseases of
the digestive organs by the ordinary dys
pepsia tablets and powders, Mi ma
gives quick relief and makes permanent
cures. The best evidence that can be
offered as to its superiority and its
power to cure is the fact that F ".
Buchanan will return your money if Mi
o ma does not help you.

Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are univer-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result Of measles), or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ailing child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have Just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
1t is pleasant to take, it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
It has been used in this town
with great SUCCESS whom children
were slow in getting over whoop-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur-
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and

Over "A Wonderful Event In
Their Lives.
Miss Maud f. Cable, of Chico, Butte
Co, Calf, is bright. vivaeious girl of
fifteen, with the glow of health i'll her
cheeks. A few months ago, however,
she was sick and weakly How this
wonderful change came about is best
told in the words Of her mother, Mrs.
Rose Gable, who says:
!" Ny daughter was in a miserable
state of health and feared she could not
live. 1t began with irregularity in the
natural functions of her sex, aceompa-
MED by severe headaches, heart and
stomach trouble, and finally she broke
down entirely. The doctor said she had
anRmia, which, he said, meant that her
blood had turned to water.
"The pain in her head was SO severe
that she was hardly able to bear it her
stomach so weak that she could eat
nothing but soup. Her liver was con-
gested and torpid, her nerves all I'M
strung and her complexion just like a
dead PERSONS. She grew worse in spite
of the doctors care and finally her hands
and feet began to swell.
Gan advertisement in the papers led
me to have her try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and she began to
feel better almost Immediately upon
taking them. She grew better every
day. When she had taken them two
weeks she had gained eight pounds, and
fourteen by the time she had taken five
boxes Her color has come back and she
looks like her old self. She has gone to
work again.
IL feel very grateful for what DR..
Williams Pink Pills have done for her,
for am sure they saved her life
