MEDIC1TED ROOD FADS
DANGEROUS.
Mat Bredh1ast Food is Simple,
Honest Food, Delicious 0nd
HedJtHfuI.

More dyspeptics have been made by
the fad of eating what Mr.. Dooley
calls. "a scientific preparation of bur
laps, FOR chemical health foods made
of the exterior of bath towels, " than
from any other cause.
The human stomach requires hot
breakfast; and no other breakfast
food is as heatlhful as Malt Breakfast
Food. While this cereal is as thor
oughly cooked when you buy it as any
of the readyto-eat" cereals, yet it
should be cooked in your own kitchen
according to the simple directions on
the package, and served hot and APP
petizing.
Ask your grocer about Malt Break
fast Food, and what his customers
think of IT, He will tell you that it is
the favorite with his best trade, and
that he considers it gives the most
satisfaction Of any of the cereals.
With every package of Malt Break
fast Food, is packed beautiful car
bon photographs while larger photo
graphs, worth several dollars, are
given in return for coupons from the
package.
A point of interest to many, is the
fact that Malt Breakfast Food is the
most economical of all cereals When
prepared for the table it makees eight
times as much, pound for pound, as
the "Ieady-to- beat" cereals. 1t is not
only the most delicious and healthful,
but also the most economical.

MRS. ELIZABETH S. DODGE

The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth San
born Dodge, the oldest subscriber to
the Vermont Waterman. the paper
having been in her family from it's
earliest publioation-was held at
Post Mills on Tuesday May IL. The
services were in the church, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. E. W. Sturte-
want, and Rev. L. H. Elliot of Water
bury. The number of persons present
and the interest they manifested in
the services plainly indicated that she
was held in high esteem by those who
knew her best. Mrs. Dodge was born
in Norwich Oct. 4, 1918. About 1910
her father moved to Post Mills and
since that time that place has been
her home. March 26. 1850, she mar
ried DR. William Dodge of that place.
Dr. Dodge died several years ago.
Mrs. Dodge united with the Con
gregational church, July Z, 1867.
Since that time she has been greatly
interested in and closely identified
with the work of the church. She
was outspoken in regard to what she
considered right, sympathetic with
those in trouble and always ready to
lend helping hand. She will be
long and gratefully remembered.

HONOR FOR PLUMLEY.

Northfield, May l9.-The Hon.
Frank Plumley of this town has been
appointed by President Roosevelt, as
one of the three umpires on the part
of this country in settling the Vene-
zuelan dispute, and has accepted. He
will leave tomorrow night for Wash
ington and, accompanied by Mrs.
Plumley, will sail from New York for
Caracas on Saturday. The appoint
ment was made through the sugges-
tion Of Senators Dillingham; and Proc
tor, and the latter went from Proctor
to Washington last night to confer
with the officials. This morning the
appointment was made and Mr.. Plum
ley was notified of it by telegraph.
The first intimation that Mr..
Plumley had of the matter was at
Montpelier on Monday when Senator
Dillingham; informed him of the move
that had been made for his appoint
ment. The position is an important
one and had been previously rendered
to Frank O. Partridge of Proctor, who
was formerly minister to Venezuela,
but he was obliged to decline the
honor.

that the promise to reimburse was

plaintiff could not have sold the horse
anyway without the defendants join

on that point by Billiard for the plant

1t may be that the ordinary Ameri-
can mind does not fully comprehend
the motive which impels the young
men Of Germany to spill their own or
some other PERSONS blood on pretexts
that would cause scarcely frown on
the face of young American, but
looking at the matter from this distant
viewpoint one is apt to judge that the
average German student is sadly de-
ficient in gray matter. Here is the
latest case recorded. The Mercur, a
weekly paper published by group of
young literary men in Strasburg, was
recently confscated on the charge of
lese majestic. A medical student
named Hans Pagel, the responsible
editor of the paper, thereupon shot
and killed himself and his sweetheart
Perhaps Pagel did the world valu-
able service when he shot himself, but
he might have spared the fraulein.

1t is quite evident that the "Reii-
ance," the new yacht with which it
is proposed to defend the America
cup this year, is not fully up to the ex-
pectations of her builders and owners.
Up to this time her trial spins have
not proven altogether satisfactory and
there is well grounded fear that Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III may
carry across the water the prize for
which her owner has contested so long
and manfully. The new Shamrock is
wonder if the daily reports of her
contests with the old boat are reliable,
while the Reliance is a disappoint-
ment to the American public if it is
not to her owners. The new defend
er's first trials did not give the assur-
ance that she was a safe yacht to send
out against the new English boat, but
since that time she has been over
hauled and refitted and on Tuesday
she was put into the the water again,
and is reported to be in fine shape.
On Thursday she will meet her rivals,
Constitution and Colum bia, and the
outcome of the trial will be awaited
with much interest. Meanwhile
Shamrock III is being put in shape for
the trip across the ocean and will
have no more trials until she reaches
American waters.

CANOEIST DROWNED.

Derry, N. H., May l9.-Royal q.
Sawyer. Jr., twenty one years old, was
drowned on Sunday while canoeing
with two companions on Beaver lake.
The three young men, Sawyer, Frank
p. Farmer and Walter heller, were in
a small canoe about 200 feet from the
shore when, by some unaccountable
means, their light craft became over
turned and they were thrown into the
water. Neither of the three could
swim much, but Farmer and heller
succeeded in catching hold of the
canoe and clinging to it until they
were rescued.

THE SCHOOL Id US.

Editor Daily Waterman THE Legis-
lature of 1900 passed an act authoriz-
ing and requiring the Governor TO APP
point some suitable person to compile
all school laws of this State that might
be in force April l., 1900. 1t is un-
derstood that the appointment was
made and it would seem that sufficient
time had lapsed for doing this much
needed work and the distribution of
the same, but up to this time the
books have not made their appearance.
1t is hoped that whoever has the
matter in charge will look after it at
once as it is much needed.

FOREIGN TRADE IN MANCHURIA

The various reports from various
sources concerning Russia's attitude
toward Manchuria are 30 conflicting
that it is difficult to reach any very
definite conclusions regarding the mat
ter. That the great bear of the
north has h eavy hand on that prov
ince is very evident however, and the
all important question is, how long
will she continue to exercise her au
thority. 1t is true that the COM
merce of the United States and
other nations is affected by Russian
control, but as yet there is little to
indicate how far this extends, and
whether the commercial advantages
would be smaller or greater if the
province became part OF Russia s
territory. China has informed the
United States and Japanese ministers
that it is impossible to conclude COM
mercial treaties opening Manchurian
towns to commerce and trade ON &C.

who have investigated the situation

MAKE EXERCISE A HABIT.
An Easy and Simple Way of Securing
Health and Good Looks

Exercise Is much more necessary TO
human life than most women think.
Healthy stimulation is an absolute
need; without 1t the body will rust
and fall to bits. The baby that never
creeps about or kicks or exercises at
all either wastes into O tiny midget or
bones and wrinkles or else takes on
pounds OF unhealthy fat ami becomes
soft and short breathed and without
vitality.
The brain that never calls upon IT.
self for work must become dull and
stupid. and il Is the same way with
the muscles of the body. They are
filed with blood vessels that should
be up and doing. The blood has sew
eral purposes, and n Is TO carry away
much of the waste fluids Of the body.
The lungs are a sort OF refinery. and
the bleed is a dlstll.lng agent. If the
blood becomes thick and unhealthy and
sluggish the body docs not keep its
youthful state. Eyes grow dull; lips
lose their redness, the complexion is
sallow and unlovely.
1t Is IN easy and simple matter to
make exercise Il kabit-just like the
habit of putting out the lights ut night
and wondering if burglars will show
up before morning.
A most excellent scheme is 10 take
long. SLOW full brsaths whenever you
have Il chance-when you are waiting
for 4 car when YOU are walking. when
you are going to sleep. when you have
just awakened.
Such habits are valuable. most valu-
able. but because they don't cost any
thing and are a little trouble lots of
women fancy there is nothing in such
practices. Nonsense. Look at the ath-
letlc me- CHAT train. They are the
healthiest. strongest. finest looking
creatures in existence.
