For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me. March 21-
Mrs. a. l.. Smith OF this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommended
ton by the following experience:
My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
OF her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encour-
agement they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. she has not had
one bad spell. OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about a dozen boxes, and we
still give them TO her occasionally.
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.

he worked them off by compelling each

they will buy these hatchets and use
them for tomahawks." Thee shan t
have them-give them back" said the
Quaker; and SO the purchaser got his
blankets without the hatchets.

MR. AND mas. y o ATKINSON. INpepENpEMcE, Mo.

In a letter dated January J. 1901 Mr.
Atkinson says, after five years experience
with Peruna:
~ win ever continue 10 speak a good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man am walking adver-
fsemenf for PerUna and have induced
many people during the PAST year 10
use Peruna with the mosf satisfactory
results. am sill cured of cafarrh.
John o.. Atkinson,
Box 272. Independence. Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
cases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable TO old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what.
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfac-.
tory results from the use Of Peruna, write
at once TO DIR. Hartman, giving full state
ment Of your case and he will be pleased TO

THE STATE CAPITAL.


"These things have resulted in the in
PRODUCTION of bills at the last two sessions
of the Legislature for the removal of the
capital to some other city. The first
time such measure was introduced it
was laughed at good and hard
"a similar bill in the general assembly
two years ago was treated with much
more consideration, and as a matter of
fact Montpelier and Washington county
felt little concerned over it at one time.
"1he News hoped that Montpelier
would take the hint and go to work to
remedy these difficulties. 1t evidently
has profited nothing thus far by its little
scare of two years ago. Sooner or later,
if there is not change in the hotel and
railroad accommodations in Montpelier,
the city is more than liable TO lose the
capitol buildings. 1t of course seems
absurd to intimate that the state would
ever 90 to the expense of such change.
But there is a city in this state which is
accused of grasping every business pro-
position in sight. 1t has wealth and in
fluence. Nobody can tell how soon some
scheme will be concocted, adroily
managed and sprung on the legislature
just at the right moment, which will
result in change of the capital ON the
map of Vermont.
at would be great and glorious mis-
take to move the capital from its present
location; but it would be no greater mis-
take than is the present non-action Of the
people of that city in the matter.
"Montpelier cannot be moved on to the
main line of railroads; but the direct line
of railroad can be brought into the city.
/ This can be done by diverging the main
| line near West Berlin and building
few miles of road, as was discussed in
/ these columns two years ago.
The carrying out Of such a project
would be feasible, and worth thousands
of dollars to the city every year, aside
from the fact that it would quiet all
talk relative to a change of the capital.
This, with a successful movement for
adequate hotel accommodations, would
insure the permanancy Of the capitol
buildings in Montpelier. the natural and
most desirable location for them IN the
whole state"
