Manufacturing Industries Secure Plenty OF
Orders to Keep Plants Working.
Bradstreets Vermont weekly trade
report ssys:--
Reports indicate that the manufacture
ing industries in this state are fortunate
in their ability to secure orders which en-
able them to operate plants to fair
capacity in comparison with those con-
Germs outside of the state about which
there are reports indicating a consider
able reduced business.
1t is still true, however, that many of
the Vermont manufacturers find the de-
mand for their product scnsibly lessen
ed as compared with conditions which
existed year ago. In explanation of
present conditions it is shown that the
building strikes have affected business
among the slate, marble, granite and
lumber interests, and in addition, manu-
facturers are disposed to exercise con-
servatism at present time.
Creamery and kindred interests, which
of all the industries of the state are ex-
ceeded in value of product only by
lumber, are very successful and pay to
the farmers nearly $500, 900 on an aver
age each month.
The lumber business, which has been
active during the past year, particularly
among the dealers who cut their own
logs, is now fair, and preparations are
being made to begin chopping logs in
the woods again.
No labor trouble is reported in the
state; workmen are well employed and
receive good wages jobbing trade is of
ordinary volume retail trade fair.

|Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debi-
tated.
We bring TO the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

Pane's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine S
