CATCHING COLD
MORE DANGER FROM BAD VENTILA-
TON THAN FROM DRAUGHTS.
Many Serious Diseases Have Arisen From
Neglected Colds-SOme Useful
Hints.

Neglected Colds-SOme Useful
Hints.
"Most colds" said well-known ply
stefan, "are caught by infection, gen.
orally from the breath of someone else
who has cold.
"When you are in a close room with
O person who is sneezing and snuffling,
open the window a little or you may
catch that cold yourself. More colds
are caught through being in ill-venti-
lated, stuffy rooms than from draughts. "
Don't neglect cold. 1t may run into
influenza, rheumatism, consumption or
any of a number of diseases. As an ill.,
stance, take the case of William H.
Lovett, a farmer of Galva, Kans. He
says:
81 caught little cold summer before
last 1 didn't do anything for it and
before long my health began to run
down. Then [ began to have twinges in
my legs. They grew worse and about
the twentieth of June had to take to my
bed with rheumatism.
"What cured me? DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. For four
months | was unable to do any of the
work about the place, my legs swelled,
l had terrible pains and the doctor didn't
help me bit Then my brothcr-n-law
recommended DIR. Williams Pink Pills
and in about two weeks after beginning
with them [ felt better. They did Won
ders for me and now [ recommend
them to everyone who suffers as did"
The cure of the severcst cases of rheu-
matism by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People has occurred all over the
land and their power i'll ordinary cases
is proportionately greater. These mar
Vicious vegetable pills go directly to tho
seat of the trouble and exert q powerful
influence in purifying and enriching the
blood by eliminating poisonous elements
and renewing health giving forces.
They have also cured lOcOmOtOr ataXla,
partial paralysis, st. Nitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervous headache, the
after-effects of the grip, palpitation Of
the heart, pale and salloW compilations
and all forms Of weakness either i'll male
or female.

IA MonfpeIier Doctor a Foreer.

DR.. Waldo H. Hardness, a popular
Montpelier physical and society man,
was arrested Friday night for passing
forged paper at the Montpelier Savings
Bank and Trust company. At 8 O'Clock
he received $4,000 at the Montpelier Saw
ngs bank on six months note signed
by himself and containing in addition
the names of Hamilton S. Peck and Wal
ter B. Gates OF Burlington and Nellie
Barstow OF Sheburne. This money he
Immediately turned over to the Capitol
Savings Bank and Trust company to
take up two notes cont aiming the same
names, one note Tor $500 and another
for $1,000.
After giving the physician the money
the Montpelier Savings bank officers be-
came suspicious OF the signature of II. S.
Peck and called him up by telephone, he
denying be ever signed the notes. Papers
were hurriedy made out for Hardness
apprehension. He was found on the
street at o'clock by Deputy Sheriff W.
F. Shepard, and accom- panied the officer
to the Jail. The papers against him wei e
of a civil nature and no criminal prosecu-
ton has yet been commenced.
Vice President L. Bart Cross and sew
eral of the directors were closeted with
Harkress at the Jail until 80 O'Clock
Friday night. He confessed he had taken
the money to payup notes at the Capitol
Savings Bank amounting to $4,000. All
he appeared able to do was to moan,
"Oh what did ever do this for?"
Hardness is about 80 years OF age and
a native of Hinesburgh. He comes OF a
good family ana the parties whose names
appear on the notes ave bis cousins He
is a graduate Of the medical college,
University of Vermont, and has lived
in Montpelier about six years. He went
about in the best society in that city and
was popular, and although his practice
has not been large it was very steadily
increasing. The charge against him
would not be believed at first. 1t is
thought he spent the original money to
pay living expenses and accrued debts.
