A quiet noon wedding took place in
Pittsford. October, 2l, at the summer
home of d. X. Hall of Rutland, when
his daughter, Miss Mary Wheaton Hall,
married Archie Chester Sheldon of Rut-
land. DR.. George w. Phillips of Rut
land performed the ceremony. No in
vitations were issued and only the i'm
mediate families were present.
The house was prettly decorated. In
the parlor green and white furnished the
color scheme which was elaborate in
running pine, potted plants and white
chrysanthemums. Running pine and
hydrangeas outlined the woodwork in
the dining room while the table was made
attractive by.a profusion of pansies and
myrtle.
The brides gown was of cream
princesse crepe trimmed with point de
file lace. She carried brides roses.
Immediately following the ceremony a
wedding dinner was served after which
Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon left for "A short
wedding trip. They will be at home
after November fifteen at 70 Library

THE MI-O-NA TREATMENT
Flesh-Forming Food in Tablet Form That
Increases Flesh-Guaranteed by
DIR. w. IL. sheldon.

The discovery of Mona. the remark
able fesh-forming food that builds up
good, healthy. solid flesh and makes
thinness and scrawniness a thing of the
past, has 1t volutionized medical practice
in certain lines.
Its power to do all that is claimed for
it was SO clearly proven to Dr. w. II.
Sheldon that he has sold Mi-o-na with
the understanding that if it fails the
purchase price was to be refunded
DIR. Sheldon certainly exhibited cour-
age in taking up this method of selling
Mi-o-na, but the results have fully proven
ment for stomach troubles, emaciation,
general weakness and run down con-
dition is the only efficacous and reliable
cure.
Mi-o-na possesses healing and sooth-
ing qualities that make it especially
valuable in cases of chronic Indigestion
and dyspepsia. Two or three tablets
taken each day in connection with
the regular food prove it true flesh
former.
All that many woman lacks to be
positively pretty is little more flesh on
her face. To look haggard or not fat is
never becoming The use of Mona
will cure this defect.
With every SOC box of Mi-o-na that
DIR. Sheldon sells, he will give a written
promise to refund the money if it does
not give an increase in flesh and restore
strength. What a trifling cost this is if
it makes you well; if it fails, the expense
is absolutely nothing

Weekly Payments.

Years ago. when the idea of weekly
payment of wages first began to be a
periodical issue in Vermont, the late Col.
Franklin Fairbanks, of the Fairbanks
Scale Works. at st. Johnsbury, told a
group of his workmen one day that there
was a much easier, much quicker way
for the men at the scale factory to
secure their pay weekly if they wanted
it than to have the legislature enact
law demanding it, and that was for
them to simply call at the office and ask
for it, says the Republican.
Weekly payment is not yet incorpo-
rated in the Vermont statutes but it is
rule at the scale factory now.
Hereafter the grocery department will
be run on cash basis and small pur-
chases from the factory must be paid
for on delivery. Wood and coal and
rent accounts are to be arranged on
easy terms for the workmen as hereto
fore.
The Rutland News, in commenting on
the new order of things, says: 1.-The in
auguration of the weekly payment
system at the Fairbanks Scale manufac-
turing plant at st. Johnsbury is a move
in the right direction. If several other
concerns which are not now settling
weekly follow their lead the need for
the enactment of a weekly payment law
by the legislature will have passed"

\ Few Minutes Use of Iyomei Four Times
4 Day Cures Catarrh.

\ Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four Time :
4 Day Cures Catarrh.
The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei,
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breath it for a few minutes
four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way of treating catarrh will effect a
cure, but the most important discov-
cries of science have always been the
simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in this
way every particle of air that enters the
air passages of the throat and head and
goes into the lungs is charged with a
healing balsam that kills the germs and
bacilli of catarrh and smooths and allays
all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. Its action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs 81 90, and if after
using you can say that it has not helped
you w. II. Sheldon will return your
money. What other treatment for
catarrh is sold under guarantee like
this?

An Old Will.

Miss Jennie Wright has in her poses
sion a very interesting paper, it being
the will of her great, great grand
mother, Mary Grimes, in which she
bequeathed all her worldly goods to
sundry relatives. 1t is worded in the
quaint language of century ago, and
was dated September ~, 1885. The
testator disposed by this will of nearly a
hundred articles, including wearing
apparel, household goods, etc, etc. The
executor named therein was Daniel
Belden, from whom Belden's station and
falls was named. He settled on what is
now known as the Drake farm, which
his daughter, who married Drake, in
herited. The farm is now owned by Mr..
Battell.
